  Your order

Your order to us is your offer to purchase the goods on these sale conditions, subject to our acceptance. You are entitled to withdraw your offer at any time up to moment that we accept it.

  Acceptance of your order

Your order is accepted, and the contract is made, when we send you an e-mail acknowledging or otherwise confirming receipt of your order, or if we do not send such an e-mail, when we despatch the goods or the first instalment of the goods to you.


  Declining your order

If we decline your order for any reason we will normally e-mail or telephone you to inform you, and give you our reasons. We will not normally accept any order until we have received pre-payment in full of the price, delivery charges, VAT and other amounts payable in respect of the order, unless you have a credit account with us and have not yet reached any credit limit. Other reasons may include that the price, offer, or product has changed or because any of the goods you have ordered are not available.


5.   SALE AND PURCHASE

On acceptance of your order, we agree to sell to you and you agree to purchase from us the goods specified in the contract documents.


6.   DESCRIPTION

The goods will be the make and description of goods specified in the ordering web pages, will correspond to the essential characteristics, description and specification set out in our web site at the time of order. We will not be responsible for variations between the description of the goods on our web site and the manufacturer's specifications, and the latter shall prevail. We will also not be responsible for minor variations in specification, colour or other design features, and no such minor variation shall entitle you to rescind the contract, reject the goods or be the subject of any claim against us.


7.   CHARGES AND VAT

You agree to pay the price, delivery charges and any  other charges and discounts stated in the web pages, in accordance with the terms of the contract. The price, delivery charges and all other amounts payable under the contract are exclusive of value added tax which we may charge in addition at the rate applicable from time to time and which shall be payable at the same time as the amount on which it is charged.

8.   PAYMENT TERMS


  Payment With Order

Unless credit terms have been agreed, payment of the price, delivery charges, and all other fees and amounts must be made before good are shipped.

  Credit Account

If you have a credit account with us, then the price, delivery charges, and any other fees and discounts must be paid in cash or cleared funds within 30 days (or such other period we may have agreed in writing with you) of your order.

  Payment Methods

We accept payment by Credit Card via Pay Pal, after acceptance of order Pay Pal will email a request for payment.  Payment is deducted when we process your order, if payment is due with order. If credit terms have been agreed, then we also accept payment by cheque or bank transfer. If you send payment by post, then you take the risk of the post. If your payment cannot be authorised or cleared for any reason we will tell you.

  No Set-off

You must make all payments in full without set-off, deduction, counter-claim, or withholding.

  Interest
If you fail to pay any amount on time, then we shall have the rights set out in the European Communities (Late Payment in Commercial Transactions) Regulations 2002 (as amended or replaced). If those Regulations do not apply, then we may charge you, and you shall pay on demand, daily interest on the overdue amount such interest to run from the date when you should have paid it until the date you actually pay it (both before and after we obtain any court judgement) at the per-annum rate of 8% over the Bank of European Central Bank's main refinancing operations rate from time to time.


9.   DELIVERY


  Delivery Address

Delivery will be to the delivery address selected or provided by you in the ordering web pages.  

  Delivery Days
We only deliver on working days, being Monday to Friday, excluding public and bank holidays, within the working hours between 8am and 6pm. Any statements as to delivery within a number of days should be read as working days, and if a bank or other public holiday falls within any delivery period then you should allow an extra two working days for delivery. If you order after 11.00 a.m., please calculate your delivery time as if your order had been placed the following working day.

  Delivery Timescales

We will use reasonable efforts to deliver the goods by the delivery dates or within the delivery timescales stated in our email to you, or our standard delivery timescales stated on our web site. However, delays are occasionally inevitable due to unforeseen factors beyond our control and therefore delivery times are not guaranteed. If we do not make a delivery date and we fail to deliver within a further 30 days, then you may cancel the contract and obtain a refund of any amounts you have paid under the contract. This shall be our sole liability and your sole remedy for late or non-delivery.

  Instalments

We may make delivery of the goods by instalments.

  Failure to Receive the Goods

If delivery is attempted within our stated delivery hours and you are not present to collect the goods or you unreasonably refuse to take delivery of the goods, then we may charge you our reasonable costs of returning the goods to the depot, our reasonable costs of storage, and our reasonable charge for re-delivering the goods at another time. We will give you the option of collecting the goods from our depot or requesting further delivery attempts (at reasonable charge). We will store the goods for a maximum of 2 months, after which we may sell the goods and account to you for the proceeds less our reasonable storage costs.

  Delivery Note

All deliveries must be signed for before our carrier will release them to you. Signing for delivery is for simple proof of receipt purposes and will not affect any of your other rights. Please make sure you keep the packing list enclosed with your goods, as this will be important if you are returning the goods later on.

  Installation

You will be responsible for unpacking and installation of any goods.

  Inspection on delivery

When you receive the goods you should immediately inspect them for damage and faults, and you should inform us by end of the following working day if you do not consider that you have received the goods you ordered, and within 10 working days of receipt of the goods if you consider that the goods are faulty or damaged, otherwise the goods will be considered to have been correctly delivered, free from damage or faults and in good working order. This will be without prejudice to any damage or fault you could not have discovered on reasonable inspection of the goods.

  Risk

Risk in the goods shall pass to you on delivery.

  Retention of Title

Title to the goods passes to you on delivery, unless the price or any other amount payable by you is outstanding at delivery, in which case title is retained by us until you have paid in full the price and all other amounts payable under the contract. You agree that we may still sue for the price, notwithstanding that title has not passed. You also agree that your right to possession and use of the goods shall cease if any amount payable by you under the contract becomes overdue, or you enter into liquidation or administration, and that we shall be entitled to enter any premises where the goods are kept for the purposes of repossessing them.



10   WARRANTY


  Our Warranty

We warrant that the goods on delivery will be of the description set out in the contract, will be new, will be in working order and will be free from material damage. Our sole liability and your sole remedy for breach of this warranty shall be one of the following (at our sole option):-

(a)   we will endeavour to repair the goods;

(b)   we will replace the goods with goods which do conform to the contract; or

(c)   we will take the goods back and refund you all amounts paid by you under the contract.

  We shall have no liability for any claims with respect to the goods not conforming to the contract, which are made later than 3 months after the date of delivery of the goods. If we elect to repair or replace the goods, then the balance of that 3 month period will apply to any repaired or replacement goods, plus the time taken by us to repair or replace. If we elect to repair or replace the goods and this proves not possible, or disproportionate, or we fail to do so in a reasonable time, then we may and will take the goods back and refund you all amounts paid by you under the contract.

  Exclusion of Implied Terms

All warranties, terms or conditions implied by statute, common law, custom or otherwise as to the description, quality, fitness for purpose, or compliance with description or sample of the goods are hereby excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

13.    RIGHT TO CANCEL OR VARY
