following delivery is due seven days following the invoice date.

outstanding debt.

Seller.
5 DELIVERY AND RISK
1.
Delivery of the Goods shall be made by us or our carrier
to the address for delivery shown in the Order Form. It is extremely important
that this address is accurate. A signature will be required on
delivery. Please be precise about where you would like the Goods left if
you are out when we deliver, this would be entirely at your own risk once
the Goods have been delivered in accordance with your delivery instructions, and
you will be responsible for them. Our responsibility for everything other than
damage due to our negligence or due to a manufacturing design or design fault
will cease upon delivery.
2.
We will do all that we reasonably can to meet the date
given for delivery (usually 2 to 5 working days to mainland U.K) or, if no date
has been agreed, within 30 days of the order date. We cannot be held
responsible for delays beyond our control. If we are unable to make the
delivery date we will contact you. If delivery cannot be made within 30 days of
the given delivery date you will be entitled to either arrange a revised date
or cancel the order and receive a full refund. If we are able to make delivery
in advance of the given date we will contact you.
3.
If the order is a multiple order and we are unable to
make delivery of the whole order but are able to deliver part we will contact
you, informing you of this, and delivery will be on a mutually agreed date. In
this instance delivery will be said to be made in installments. Each delivery
shall constitute a separate contract and any failure by us to deliver any one
or more of the installments in accordance with these conditions, or any claim
by you in respect of any one or more installments will not entitle you to treat
the contract as a whole as repudiated.
4.
If we fail for any reason within our control to
fully/partially deliver your Goods any reimbursement shall be no more than the
price of the Goods, together with any delivery and/or reasonable return costs.
5.
Either party is entitled to cancel the contract in
respect of non-performance of obligations in relation to delivery. If cancelled
we will refund you any monies already paid by you and any reasonable return
costs incurred by you.
6.
As soon as we have delivered the Goods or services, you
will be responsible for them. If you delay a delivery our responsibility for
everything other than damage due to our negligence will end on the date we
agree to deliver them, as set out in the contract.
7.
Subject to the provisions of Condition 7 and
notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the Goods, or any other
provision of these Conditions, the property in the Goods shall not pass to you
until we have received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of
the Goods. Goods supplied to you are not for resale.
8.
If the quantity of Goods delivered is more than that
agreed by the Seller and the Buyer, the Buyer shall not be entitled to reject
the delivery but the Seller will collect such excess Goods from the Buyer’s
premises (or from such address as is reasonably specified by the Buyer)
provided the Buyer notifies the Seller within the time limits set out in
Condition 8.3. If the Buyer does not notify the Seller within the prescribed
time limits, the Seller shall be entitled to invoice the Buyer and the Buyer
shall pay the Seller in accordance with Condition 4.
9.
If the quantity of the Goods delivered is less than that
agreed by the Seller and the Buyer, the Buyer shall not be entitled to reject
the delivery, but shall be entitled only to a further delivery of Goods, to
make up the deficiency, or (at the Seller’s option) a refund by way of a credit
note of the appropriate part of the purchase price.
10.
The Buyer shall however have no entitlement whatsoever in
respect of such non-delivery/over-delivery/short-delivery:
A.
Unless such claim is made (by post, facsimile, e-mail or
by telephone) to the Seller’s sales office by the close of business on the
first Working Day following the day of purported delivery. If the claim is made
by telephone, the Buyer should note both the name of the person spoken to and
any acknowledgement reference given. Any claim made by telephone should be
confirmed in writing to the Seller by the close of business on the fifth
Working Day following the day of purported delivery; or
B.
unless the Buyer:
C.
notifies the carrier in writing of any such over
delivery, short delivery or non delivery; and
D.
Enters a note of the same upon the carrier’s receipt
(except in the case of non delivery).
If by reason of the failure of the Buyer to give such notice the Seller is
prevented from successfully claiming against the carrier for such over
delivery, short delivery or non delivery, the rights of the Buyer under this
Condition shall not apply and the Buyer shall be liable to pay the full price
for all the Goods which are the subject of the Contract.
