13. Delivery

13.1 The Supplier shall ensure that delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note which shows the date of the Order, all relevant Customer and Supplier reference numbers, the type and quantity of the Goods (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable), special storage instructions (if any) and, if the Order is being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Goods remaining to be delivered

13.2 The Supplier shall deliver the Goods to the location set out in the Order (Delivery Location).

13.3 Delivery of the Goods shall be completed on the Goods´ arrival at the Delivery Location.

13.4 Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. The Supplier shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a Force Majeure event or the Customer´s failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods. The Supplier will inform the Customer if it becomes aware of an unexpected delay and will arrange a new delivery date. Please allow extra time for deliveries to include Scottish Highlands, Islands & Ireland

13.5 If the Customer fails to take delivery of an Order, then, except where this failure is caused by the Supplier´s failure to comply with these Conditions or by a Force Majeure event the Supplier:

(b) shall have no liability for late delivery.

13.6 If the Supplier is not able to deliver the whole of the Order at one time due to operational reasons or shortage of stock, it will deliver the Order in instalments. The Customer will not be charged extra delivery costs for this. If the Customer requests delivery of the Order in instalments, the Supplier may charge extra delivery costs. If an instalment is faulty or late being delivered, that will not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment or the Contract.

13.7 If the Supplier fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Customer in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. The Supplier shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer’s failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

14.Price and Payment

14.1 The price of the Goods shall be the price set out in the Order.

14.2 The Supplier may, by giving notice to the Customer at any time before delivery, increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods that is due to:

(a) any factor beyond the Supplier’s control (including foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties, and increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs);

(b) any request by the Customer to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered, or the Specification; or

14.3 The price of the Goods is exclusive of the costs and charges of packaging, insurance and transport of the Goods, which shall be paid by the Customer when it pays for the Goods.

(c) any delay caused by any instructions of the Customer or failure of the Customer to give the Supplier adequate or accurate information or instructions.

14.4 The price of the Goods is exclusive of amounts in respect of value added tax (VAT). The Customer shall, on receipt of a valid VAT invoice from the Supplier, pay to the Supplier such additional amounts in respect of VAT as are chargeable on the supply of the Goods.

(c) be fit for any purpose stated by the Supplier or for any reasonable purpose for which the Customer uses the Goods pursuant to any Specification;

(e) comply with all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements for selling the Goods in the United Kingdom/ Ireland.

15.2 Where the Customer has indicated that they are a consumer rather than a business and therefore that the Goods are intended for personal and not business use, the warranty in clause 4.1 is in addition to its legal rights in relation to Goods which are faulty or which otherwise do not conform with these Conditions. Advice about a consumer´s legal rights is available from any Citizens´ Advice Bureau or trading standards office.

15.3 Where the Customer has indicated that they are a business rather than a consumer and therefore that the Goods are intended for business and not personal use, except as set out in these Conditions, all warranties, conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.

15.4 The warranty in clause 4.1 does not apply to any defect in the Goods arising from any use made of the Goods after giving notice of a defect, fair wear and tear, wilful damage, accident, negligence by the Customer or any third party (save for those engaged in delivery of the Goods), if the Customer uses the Goods in a way that is not recommended, the Customer´s failure to follow the Supplier´s or manufacturer´s instructions, or for any alteration or repair carried out by the Customer.

15.5 These Conditions apply to any repaired or replacement Goods supplied, in the unlikely event that the original Goods are faulty or do not otherwise conform with these Conditions.

15.6 Where the Customer is a consumer only, and the Customer wishes to cancel the Order or is unhappy with the Goods for any other reason after they are delivered, the Goods may be returned to us at your own cost as set out below within 14 calendar days of receipt.. Following expiry of this period the Customer shall have no right to return the Goods.

15.7 Upon receipt of the returned Goods and providing the returned Goods are, in the Supplier´s reasonable opinion, unaltered, unused and undamaged, the Supplier will refund the amount paid for the Goods less any costs levied against the Supplier for any such return and in addition, for business Customers only, less the original shipping charge and a restocking and administration fee of 20% + Vat of the total Order value.

15.8 No refund shall be given for products that have been manufactured to a Specification, unless the goods are faulty.
