Our quotations and prices are based on costs prevailing at the time when they are given or agreed and are exclusive of VAT which will be added at the prevailing rate. We shall be entitled by giving written notice to You at least five (5) Working Days before delivery to adjust the price of the Goods or Services as at the time of delivery or performance, as the case may be, by such amount as may be necessary to cover any increases in the cost of Goods to Us for whatever reason; including any new or increases in taxes or duties; and/or any costs and expenses including the expense of Our employees’ time resulting from Your failure to comply with any of Your obligations under Condition 2.9, or any change or insufficiency in Your instructions to Us.

4. PAYMENT
4.1 Unless We have agreed in writing to grant You credit terms, payment for the Goods must be paid in full prior to delivery and in the case of Services, prior to performance.
4.2 If credit terms have been agreed We shall invoice for all Goods on delivery and for all Services on performance and all accounts are due for payment without deduction or retention on the last day of the month following the date of the invoice.
4.3 Time for payment shall be of the essence of the Contract and We reserve the right to suspend the provision of the Goods or the Services to You where any amounts are overdue under any Contract until all such amounts have been paid in full, cleared funds.
4.4 Any discounts, deductions or rebates agreed are only available if the price is paid and received by the due date.
4.5 Credit is granted and may be reviewed at any time at Our discretion. We reserve the right with immediate effect, and without prior notice to You, to refuse to execute any order or Contract if the arrangements for payment by You or Your credit rating are not satisfactory to Us or Our insurers.

4.9 We reserve the right at any time to offset any amount owing to Us from You against any amount owed to You by Us under any Contract with Us.

5. DELIVERY
5.1 Unless otherwise agreed by Us, delivery of the Goods shall be ex-works. If Goods or Supplies are collected, delivery shall be completed when loading is complete at Our premises or at such other location as may be advised by Us before delivery. If We deliver the Goods or Supplies, delivery will occur on arrival at the delivery address which shall be the location set out in the order or such other location as agreed in writing.
5.2 Delivery dates are estimates only. Time for delivery of the Goods or Supplies, or performance of the Services shall not be of the essence of the Contract. When We indicate an anticipated delivery or performance date before an order is placed it is based on the workload and availability of materials, labour and equipment at that particular time. This can change by the time an order is placed. We will use reasonable endeavours to deliver Goods and Supplies and perform Services upon the times and dates given, but We will neither be liable to You or any third party for any losses or additional costs incurred by You which results from any delay in delivery of Goods or Supplies, or in performance of Services, nor will We accept a cancellation of an order through late delivery or late performance once work on Your order has commenced.
5.3 We reserve the right to make delivery of Goods or Supplies or perform Services by instalments and tender a separate invoice payable in accordance with Condition 4 in respect of each instalment. Any claim which You may have in respect of one instalment shall not affect Your liability in respect of any other instalment. Any default or breach by Us in respect of any instalment shall not entitle You to cancel any other instalment or to treat the Contract as a whole to have been repudiated.
5.4 We shall deliver the Goods or Supplies as near as possible to the delivery address as a safe hard road permits. We reserve the right to refuse to deliver the Goods or Supplies to sites considered at the discretion of the haulier to be unsuitable, in which case Condition 5.6 will apply.
5.5 If as part of the Contract with You, We agree to blend Goods in a pack or packs to meet Your specific requirements, and You fail to accept or take delivery of such blended Goods, then We shall invoice You for a blending charge for all such additional work undertaken by Us including unblending and such invoice shall be payable in accordance with Condition 4.
5.6 If You fail to take or make arrangements to accept delivery of the Goods or Supplies or if We are unable to deliver because of inadequate access, conditions or instructions, We shall invoice You for the Goods and such invoice shall be payable in accordance with Condition 4. If You do not then collect the Goods or Supplies or make arrangements to accept delivery (at Your additional expense) within twenty (20) Working Days from the date of invoice (for which We require payment in any event), We may, at our discretion, resell the Goods or Supplies to another customer or destroy or dispose of the Goods or Supplies in any way whatsoever.
5.7 Where the Goods or Supplies are to be collected from Our premises You must collect such Goods or Supplies within twenty (20) Working Days of being notified of their availability for collection. If You fail to collect the Goods or Supplies within this time period We shall invoice You for the Goods and Services and such invoice shall be payable in accordance with Condition 4. If You do not then collect the Goods or Supplies within twenty (20) Working Days from the date of invoice (for which We require payment in any event), We may resell the Goods or Supplies to another customer or destroy or dispose of the Goods or Supplies in any way whatsoever and shall invoice You for a storage rent.
5.8 Unless otherwise agreed the unloading of the Goods or Supplies is Your responsibility. If We are required to assist or provide unloading facilities or equipment an extra charge will be made.
5.9 If Goods or Supplies are to be deposited other than on Your private premises You shall be responsible for notifying Us of all relevant laws, regulations, site rules and other information necessary for Us to make the delivery and shall ensure that the place of delivery is adequate and appropriate for such delivery. If You fail to notify Us in accordance with this Condition 5.9 You will indemnify Us and keep us indemnified in respect of all claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses We incur as a result of such failure.
5.10 You will indemnify Us in respect of all claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses incurred as a result of loading, unloading or delivery of Goods and/or Supplies in accordance with Your instructions. This indemnity will be reduced in proportion to the extent that such claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses are due to Our negligence.
5.11 We will have fulfilled Our contractual obligations in respect of each delivery of Goods or Supplies provided that the quantity actually delivered is not in excess of five percent (5%) more or less than the quantity specified in any order issued under the Contract. You shall pay for the actual quantity delivered and shall not be entitled to reject the Goods or Supplies or any part of them.

6. INSPECTION
6.1 You shall inspect the Goods or Supplies at the place and time of loading (if collected by You) or unloading (if delivered by Us) but nothing in these Terms shall require You to break packaging and/or unpack Goods or Supplies which are intended to be stored before use (such inspection hereinafter referred to as ‘Reasonable Inspection’).
6.2 Unless You advise Us immediately on collection or by endorsing the haulier’s receipt note on delivery and written notice is received by Us within three (3) Working Days of loading or unloading (as appropriate) of any claim apparent on Reasonable Inspection for loss or damage in transit, short delivery or failure to conform to the Contract, the Goods or Supplies will be deemed to have been delivered in accordance with the delivery documents and You shall not be entitled to reject the Goods or Supplies.
6.3 Our liability for loss or damage in transit or short delivery in respect of any order apparent on Reasonable Inspection is, subject to notification by You to Us in accordance with the provisions of Condition 6.2, limited to supplying the Goods or Supplies ordered. You remain liable to pay the full invoice price of all Goods or Supplies delivered in accordance with the Contract. Any claim for damages is subject to Condition 9.
6.4 Where We create Goods or provide Services which are not to a standard design of Ours at Your request whether or not to a specification, drawing, design, measurement or calculation provided by You (which shall include Specials), We shall seek Your approval of the final design before full production. Once the Order is approved by You, You shall thereafter be responsible for and shall promptly reimburse Us for any additional costs We incur as a result of the implementation of any variations to such specification, drawing, design, measurement or calculation, as the case may be.

7. TITLE AND RISK
7.1 Risk in the Goods shall pass to You when the Goods are delivered.
7.2 The title to Goods supplied by Us (whether separate and identifiable or incorporated in or mixed with other Goods) shall remain with Us until You have paid the agreed price of the Goods (together with any accrued interest at the rate specified in Condition 4.7) and paid any other sums outstanding between You and Us whether in respect of this Contract or any other agreement with Us.
