acceptance and thereafter are subject to correction of errors at any time.
If the Company has not received an acceptance within 30 days of the date of
the quotation, shall be deemed to have lapsed.
The prices quoted by the Company’s Representatives are subject to stock
availability, and whilst every endeavour will be made to supply at quoted
prices, the Company reserves the right to revise prices without prior notice. In
particular, should any increase occur in the cost of labour, materials, transport
and all or any other direct costs between the date of quotation and despatch of
the goods, the Company reserves the right to adjust the contract price accordingly.
The price payable for the Goods you order is as set out in our web site at the time
you place the order or, if you order the Goods from one of our catalogues, as set out
in the current edition. VAT will be added when applicable.
All descriptions, dimensions, particulars, weights and specifications submitted by
the Company are deemed to be approximate only, as are the details given in any
Company catalogue, website, price list and advertising, and do not form part of the
contract.
4. Payment
Payment for goods shall be made by cash with order unless credit terms have
been arranged in which event, payment for goods supplied under the contract shall
be made within 30 days of date of invoice, unless otherwise
explicitly stated on the face of the invoice.
Where the buyer is making payment using a credit or debit card validation will be
sought from the Card Issuer. In addition, in the interest of preventing fraudulent use
of credit, debit and charge cards, the Company will validate the names, addresses
and other information supplied during the order process against commercially
available records. A third party may also be instructed to complete these checks on
behalf of the Company.
Credit account customers may be scrutinized by all or some of the methods listed
in the previous paragraph. By ordering from the Company you consent to such
checks being made. The Company may need to contact you by letter, telephone or
e-mail to verify details before we are able to process and dispatch your order or we
may be unable to accept your order.
If payment of the price or any part thereof is not made by the due date, the
Company shall be entitled without prior notice and without affecting other rights
hereunder:-
i. To charge interest upon the outstanding amount at the rate of 2.5% per
month accruing daily
ii. To cancel or suspend delivery of any goods ordered by the customer which
have not been delivered without incurring any liability to the customer
iii. The customer shall have no right of set-off in respect of any claim it may
make against the Company.
The time for performance of the customer’s obligations (whether as to payment
of otherwise) shall be of the essence so that failure to perform shall entitle the
Company at its option to treat the contract as repudiated by the Customer and in
the event that invoices remain outstanding following the agreed credit terms then
all invoices then in existence, whether or not due for payment, will immediately
become due and payable.
The Company shall have a right of set-off against any sums due by the Company or
any of its associated companies to the Customer.
5. Delivery
The Company will endeavour to deliver the goods in accordance with our delivery
terms, and to comply with reasonable delivery instructions; but any specified
time of delivery shall not be of the essence of the contract and the Company shall
not be liable for late delivery howsoever caused nor shall such failure to deliver be
deemed to be a breach of any contract.

being delivered.
