2 BASIS OF THE CONTRACT

2.1 Quotations are not binding on the Seller who may refuse to accept any Order at its discretion and may withdraw the Quotation before acceptance of an Order. An Order shall be deemed to be accepted only when the Seller has sent a written acceptance or has commenced work upon or dispatched or otherwise appropriated items for the performance of the Order.
2.2 Each Order so accepted constitutes a separate legally binding Contract between the Seller and the Buyer.
2.3 The Contract will be subject to these Conditions only and no qualifications or condition contained in any request for quotation, Order or other communication from the Buyer shall form any term of the Contract unless expressly accepted in writing by a director of the Seller. This does not prevent the Seller from correcting typographical or other errors or omissions in documents or information issued by the Seller.
2.4 These Conditions constitute the entire understanding of the parties and supersede all prior promises, representations and undertakings.
2.5 Unless otherwise stated therein a Quotation will lapse thirty days after its date of issue. Any Quotation that has lapsed must be reconfirmed with the Seller prior to an Order being accepted.
2.6 Orders are accepted subject to the credit status of the Buyer being satisfactory to the Seller and the Seller may cancel the Contract if its credit enquiries at any time prove unsatisfactory to it.
2.7 The Order must be accompanied by all information necessary for the Seller to proceed with the Contract. The Buyer is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of any Order submitted by the Buyer. If work is delayed or additional costs incurred through lack of such information or changes in information, the Seller may amend the Contract price to cover the additional costs (including insurance and/or storage) and/or extend the delivery date.
2.8 All prices quoted are based on information available at the time of Quotation. The Seller reserves the right to vary prices at any time without notice prior to the date of the order being accepted and the price payable by the Buyer shall be the price applicable at the date of the order being accepted. 
2.9 Delivery of the Goods to the Buyer is conclusive proof that the Buyer has accepted the Conditions to the exclusion of any other terms and conditions (if any) and in particular those of the Buyer.
2.10 No addition, variation or substitution to the Contract shall be binding or form any part of the Order unless agreed in writing between the authorised representatives of the Buyer and Seller [prior to the date of the Contract].
2.11The Seller reserves the right to modify Goods ordered which are required to confirm with any applicable safety or statutory instruments or which do not materially affect their quality or performance.

Where such price is based upon a currency other than pounds sterling any fluctuations in the exchange rate of such currency against pounds sterling between the date of Order and the date of the Seller’s invoice which adversely affect the Seller shall be passed on to the Buyer who shall pay the same in accordance with the clause 5 hereof.

4 CREDIT TERMS

The Seller may set and vary credit terms from time to time and withhold all or any further supplies if the Buyer exceeds such credit limits.

The Buyer is responsible for payment of any bank or transmission charge in addition to the price. The Seller may invoice and apply for payment for each delivery separately.
5.3 The Buyer shall make all payments hereunder in full without deduction, set off or counter claim whatsoever from, or against the same, except as required by law and regardless of any delays in delivery or performance or any corrections or adjustments that may be necessary to the Goods.
5.4 The time for performance of the Buyer’s obligation (whether as to payment or otherwise) shall be of the essence so that failure to perform shall entitle the Seller at his option, to treat the Contract as repudiated by the Buyer or to delay shipment or otherwise withhold performance (in which event the Seller’s time for performance shall be extended accordingly). In the case of delivery by instalments, failure to perform in respect of one delivery shall entitle the Seller, at its option, to cancel or delay or withhold performance in respect of that delivery or other deliveries, or to treat the whole Contract as repudiated by the Buyer.
5.5 The Buyer may cancel the Contract in whole (but not in part unless the Seller so agrees in writing) by written notice to the Seller accompanied by payment of a cancellation charge computed as a percentage of the Contract price as follows:
more than 90 days before agreed delivery date 8%.
90 days or less but greater than 60 days before agreed delivery date 20%
60 days or less but greater than 30 days before agreed delivery date 30%
30 days or less before agreed delivery date 100%
provided that if the Goods have been described as "Specials" on the Quotation or the written acceptance of the Order, the cancellation charge shall be 100% of price regardless of when written notification of cancellation is received and accepted by the Seller.
5.6 If any monies payable by the Buyer to the Seller are not paid when due, or if the Buyer is in breach of any of its obligations (whether under the Contract or any other agreement with the Seller), or makes any voluntary composition or arrangement with its creditors, or becomes bankrupt or (being a company) enters into liquidation, or has an administration order made in respect of it, or suffers the appointment of a receiver to all or any of its assets, or if a resolution for the winding up of the Buyer is passed or a court makes an order to that effect, the Buyer shall immediately pay to the Seller all monies payable by the Buyer under the Contract or any other agreement with the Seller (whether or not then otherwise due for payment) and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies and at its option:
(a) the Seller shall have the following rights in respect of the Contract and every other agreement with the Buyer:
(i) to suspend or cancel the delivery of any further Goods and any other performance by the Seller (and if suspended the Seller’s time for performance shall be extended accordingly).
(ii) to terminate all or any part of the Contract with the Buyer.
(b) the Buyer shall pay to the Seller by way of full indemnity all costs of any nature incurred by the Seller arising from the breach by the Buyer (including, but not limited to, all legal costs on a full indemnity basis).

5.8 The Seller shall be entitled to make a claim against the Buyer for the unpaid amount.
5.9 The Buyer shall indemnify the Seller (after as well as before judgment and on as many occasions as necessary to indemnify fully the Seller) against any loss or expense which the Seller may suffer in the event of any delay in payment or other breach of Contract by reason of any change in currency exchange rates between the date payment fell due and the date payment is actually received by the Seller and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall be required by the Buyer.

6.2 Whilst every effort will be made by the Seller to adhere to any agreed delivery dates, such dates are not guaranteed and the Seller shall not be liable for any expense, loss or damage whatsoever (including but not limited to any indirect or consequential loss to the Buyer arising from third party claims or otherwise) due to delay to deliver the Goods (or any of them) promptly or at all howsoever caused.

(b) sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling costs) account to the Buyer for the excess over the price under the Contract or charge the Buyer for any shortfall below the price under the Contract.
6.5 If the Buyer fails to accept delivery fourteen days after being notified that the Goods are ready for despatch, the Seller may, at its option and in addition to the rights, treat this as a cancellation of the order with effect from the date the Seller notified the Buyer that the Goods were ready for dispatch. In these circumstances clause 5.4 shall apply.
6.6 Where the Goods are delivered by instalments, each delivery shall be deemed to be a separate Contract and failure by the Seller to deliver any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Buyer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated or reject any other instalments.
