  2. How do I place an order?

When ordering, the prospective Buyer should indicate the Goods' Catalogue number, the quantity required and a brief description as it appears in the Catalogue.
    2. Any quotations given by the Seller shall not in any way constitute an offer to contract on this Contract or any other terms. A quotation shall only be valid for a period of 28 days from its date of issue.
    3. The Seller’s acknowledgement of the Buyer’s Order in writing shall constitute the Seller’s agreement to sell and supply the Goods therein stated on the terms of this Contract.

  3. How is the Price of the Goods determined?

    1. The Price will:

      1. in the absence of manifest error or omission and subject to this Contract, be final;
      2. be confirmed by the Seller in the Order confirmation. The Price will be based on the prices listed on the Website at the time the Order is placed. While the Seller will endeavour to ensure that all prices on the Website are accurate, it will be under no obligation to honour any price if there is any difference due to typographical or other errors resulting in a difference from the actual price. If the Seller discovers an error in the Prices, it will inform the Buyer. The Buyer will have the option of reconfirming its Order at the correct price or cancelling it.
    2. Notwithstanding clause 3.1, the Seller reserves the right, at its absolute discretion, including but not limited to reasons of market forces, to adjust the Price if the Seller suffers an increase in the cost to it of supplying the Goods, howsoever caused. The Seller will use its reasonable endeavours to minimise any such adjustment and shall notify the Buyer of any adjustment as soon as reasonably practicable.

    3. The Prices are exclusive of:

      1. Delivery Costs (which unless the Seller determines otherwise are £15 for orders less than £150, and free for orders over £150); and
      2. VAT and any other tax or duty which must be added to the total price payable. VAT will be charged at the rate applicable at the time the Order is accepted.
    4. The Price, VAT and Delivery costs (if any) shall be paid in accordance with the method of payment stipulated by the Seller and the time of payment shall be of the essence of the Contract.
    5. It is the Buyer's sole responsibility to ensure that the payment is made to the account notified by the Seller to the Buyer at the time the order is made, as may be stated on the Statement or Invoice provided by the Seller to the Buyer. The Seller does not take any responsibility for payments made by the Buyer to an account that does not belong to the Seller, including but not limited to payments brought about by any fraudulent third party act. If the Buyer receives any communication from a party claiming to be the Seller requesting for the payment to be made to an account not provided at the time the order is made, it is the Buyer's responsibility to contact the Seller directly to confirm the correct account details before making any such payment.

    6. For the purpose of this clause 3.

      1. On “Account” shall mean that:

        1. (a) the Buyer shall be invoiced for the Price of the Goods delivered in any calendar month and any other sum from time to time due and owing by the Buyer to the Seller under this Contract in the form of a statement (the “Statement”) made up to the end of the said calendar month (the “Statement Month”); and
        2. (b) the Buyer shall pay the total amount specified in the Statement prior to close of business on the last day of the month during the Statement Month.

      2. On “Invoice” shall mean that:

        1. (a) the Seller shall invoice the Buyer for the Price of the Goods and any other sums from time to time due and owing by the Buyer to the Seller under this Contract; and
        2. (b) the total amount specified in the Invoice shall be paid prior to the date specified for payment in the Invoice which, unless otherwise stated in the Order acknowledgment, shall be deemed payable prior to close of business on the last day of the month following the invoice date.
    7. Where payment for the Goods is on Invoice or on Account, the Buyer shall pay the Price and any other costs as set out at clause 3.5, notwithstanding that the Goods are being delivered by instalments and that any Goods remain undelivered.
    8. Without prejudice to any other rights, the Seller reserves the right to suspend or cancel (or first suspend then cancel) further deliveries under any Contract with the Buyer, should the Price or any part thereof not be paid by the relevant payment date(s).
    9. The Seller reserves the right to treat any of its new or existing Buyers as a “Proforma Account” holder, whereby the total invoice for the Goods will be required to be paid in cleared funds with the Seller prior to the release or delivery of the Goods.
    10. If payment is made by cheque, the Goods will not be released or delivered until the cheque has cleared to the Seller’s bank account. For the avoidance of doubt, no payment shall be deemed to have been received until the Seller has received cleared funds.
    11. Credit will only be given in the form of credit notes which can be used against further purchases from the Seller and is not transferable.
    12. The Buyer shall make all payments due under the Contract without any deduction, whether by way of set-off, counterclaim, discount, abatement or otherwise, unless the Buyer has a valid court order requiring an amount equal to such deduction to be paid by the Seller to the Buyer.

    13. If the Buyer fails to make any payment on the due date then without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller shall be entitled to:

      1. cancel the Contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Buyer;
      2. appropriate any payment made by the Buyer to such of the Goods (or the goods supplied under any other contract between the Buyer and the Seller), as the Seller may think fit (notwithstanding any purported appropriation by the Buyer);
      3. charge the Buyer interest (both before and after any judgment) on the amount unpaid, at the rate of 4% per annum above the base lending rate from time to time of Barclays Bank PLC accruing on a daily basis from the due date for payment until payment in full from the Buyer;
      4. recover from the Buyer the price of any Goods delivered to the Buyer notwithstanding that the payment for such Goods has not yet fallen due; and/or
      5. reduce the Buyer’s credit limit or remove credit facilities completely.
    14. All costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Seller in recovering any debt due by the Buyer shall he paid by the Buyer.

  4. How and when will the Goods be delivered?

    1. The expression “Delivery” as used in this Contract shall be deemed to take place when:

      1. the Seller or any other person acting upon the Buyer’s instructions leaves the Goods at the Buyer’s address (as stated in the Order or otherwise agreed to by the Seller in writing); and
      2. the Buyer, or a person in the Buyer’s employ or any other person acting upon the Buyer’s instructions including such other person as shall be agreed with the Buyer (who for the purposes of this clause 4 and clause 7, shall be referred to as the “Buyer’s Nominee”) signs the Seller’s standard form of acknowledgement of Delivery, which shall be conclusive evidence of such Delivery.
    2. Whilst reasonable efforts shall be made to ensure prompt Delivery, the Delivery Date is an estimate only and the Seller accepts no liability whatsoever for late Delivery. The time for Delivery shall not be of the essence and any failure to adhere to the Delivery Date shall not entitle the Buyer or Buyer’s Nominee to claim damages or to rescind or cancel the Contract. The Goods may be delivered in advance of the Delivery Date at the Seller’s discretion, upon giving reasonable notice to the Buyer.
    3. If the Buyer or the Buyer’s Nominee does not receive the Goods on the stated Delivery Date, then the Buyer shall notify the Seller in writing of such non-receipt within seven calendar days of the stated Delivery Date. Should the Buyer fail to notify the Seller within seven calendar days of the Delivery Date, the Seller shall not be liable for the non-Delivery of the Goods and the Buyer shall be liable and shall indemnify the Seller for any loss or damage that the Seller may suffer as a consequence of the Seller’s resultant omission to notify the carriers of the non-arrival of the Goods.
    4. The method of Delivery shall be at the Seller’s absolute discretion.
    5. The Buyer or the Buyer’s Nominee shall accept part deliveries unless specifically agreed with the Seller in writing.

    6. If the Buyer or the Buyer’s Nominee refuses to accept Delivery for any reason whatsoever, then the Buyer shall nevertheless pay the Seller:

      1. the Price and any Delivery Costs (if any); and
      2. any additional expenses incurred by the Seller as a result of such refusal, including but not limited to any amounts payable by the Seller to its agents, employees or sub-contractors.

    7. If the Buyer or the Buyer’s Nominee fails to take Delivery of the Goods or fails to give the Seller adequate Delivery instructions at the time stated for Delivery then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller may:

      1. store the Goods until actual Delivery and charge the Buyer for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance); and/or
      2. ten days after the day on which the Seller notified the Buyer that the Goods were ready for delivery the Buyer has not taken delivery of them, the Seller may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, account to the Buyer for any excess over the price of the Goods or charge the Buyer for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.
    8. If the Buyer or the Buyer’s Nominee does not check the Goods on receipt, they must be signed for “Unchecked”.

  5. Am I permitted to re-package or promote the Goods?

    1. The Buyer shall keep the Goods at all times in the packaging in which they are supplied and the Buyer shall ensure that the markings on such packaging, including the Marks, are not altered, obliterated or obscured in any way.

      1. display advertising materials and other signs provided by the Seller;
      2. observe all directions and instructions given to it by the Seller for promotion and advertisement of the Goods; and

    3. The Seller grants the Buyer the revocable, non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the Marks in the UK for the duration of this Contract, or until otherwise revoked in writing by the Seller, for the sole purpose of the Buyer creating their own marketing materials to promote the Goods: in the Buyer's catalogue; on the Buyer's website; in the Buyer's email marketing; and in the Buyer's in-store promotions. No other use of the Marks or of the Intellectual Property Rights of the Seller is permitted or granted and the Buyer shall not hold itself out as being the Seller or an agent of the Seller.
    4. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that all rights in the Marks and in the Intellectual Property Rights of the Seller shall remain in the Seller, and that the Buyer has and will acquire no right(s) in them by virtue of the discharge of its obligations under this Contract, except for the right to use the Marks as expressly provided in this Contract.

    7. The Buyer shall stop using the Marks:

      1. within 7 days of written notice by the Seller that the Seller is terminating the licence under clause 5.3; and / or
      2. immediately on termination of this Contract for any reason.

Colour finishes will be maintained as accurately as possible but matching cannot be guaranteed. All terminology used in the Catalogue is as understood by general usage in the trade.
    2. The Seller reserves the right to supply at its absolute discretion, without notice to the Buyer, modified and/or improved versions of any Goods.
    3. The Seller reserves the right to amend the specification of the Goods if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

      5. the Buyer must notify the Seller immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events listed in clauses 15.3.3 to 15.3.5.

    5. If, before title to the Goods passes to the Buyer, the Buyer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clauses 15.3.3 to 15.3.5, then, without limiting any other right or remedy the Seller may have:

If the period of delay or non-performance continues for six weeks, the Buyer may terminate this Contract by giving seven days' written notice to the Seller.

  16. General Terms

    1. Entire Agreement. This Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between them, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter, including any terms of the Buyer.
    2. Variation. No variation of this Contract shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the parties (or their authorised representatives).
    3. Assignment. The Seller may at any time assign, transfer, mortgage, charge, subcontract or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under the Contract. The Buyer may not assign, transfer, mortgage, charge, subcontract, declare a trust over or deal in any other manner with any or all of its rights or obligations under the Contract without the prior written consent of the Seller.
    4. Waiver. No failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under the Contract or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
    5. Severance. If any provision or part-provision of the Contract is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the Contract.
    6. Notices. Any notice or other communication given to a party under or in connection with the Contract shall be in writing, addressed to that party at its registered office (if it is a company) or its principal place of business (in any other case) or such other address as that party may have specified to the other party in writing in accordance with this clause. A notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been received: if delivered personally, when left at the address referred to in the invoice; if sent by pre-paid first class post or other next working day delivery service, at 9.00 am on the second Business Day after posting; if delivered by commercial courier, on the date and at the time that the courier's delivery receipt is signed; or, if sent by fax or email, one Business Day after transmission. The provisions of this clause shall not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action.
    7. Third party rights. A person who is not a party to the Contract shall have no right to enforce any term of the Contract by virtue of the Contract (Rights of third Parties) Act 1999.
    8. Governing law. The Contract, and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
