- Terms and Conditions
- Regarding the provision of materials, goods, and services, we shall be held accountable. If a customer's order or offer contains any stipulations or conditions that conflict with our conditions, they shall be deemed inapplicable. Our conditions shall apply to all orders unless we expressly agree in writing to the customer's conditions. If we agree, we will specify which of our conditions will not apply and how our conditions will be varied.Our pricing strategy considers the prevailing costs of goods, materials, customs duties, insurance, labour, transportation, and machinery maintenance. Additionally, we consider local and parliamentary rates and taxes applicable on the date of quotation or dispatch. Please note that all quoted prices are subject to written acceptance within 14 days, failing which the prices will be as per the rates in effect on the date of dispatch. If there are any additional costs or expenses incurred by us due to any subsequent increase in fixed costs, including the aforementioned costs, we reserve the right to increase our prices proportionally to the increased costs. Our quoted price is inclusive of only the items specified in the written quotation or tender.
- Our company and its employees hereby disclaim any liability for any loss, damage, or delay that may arise from any cause, regardless of whether it was caused by our negligence or intentional actions.
- In accordance with our policy, we shall, at our discretion, replace or repair any component produced by our company that fails to function due to poor workmanship or an inherent defect. This warranty is subject to the condition that written notice is provided to us within fourteen days of the completion of approval or trial, or within three days from the date of delivery to our customer, whichever occurs earlier. Moreover, the replacement or repair will be carried out either at the customer's premises or at our designated location, as determined by our discretion. If we choose to proceed with the repair or replacement, the defective unit, or units, at the expense of the Purchaser and/or customer, shall be returned to our premises for inspection. It is important to note that any costs associated with dismantling and delivery, including but not limited to loss of hire, loss of profit, time expended in waiting, and carriage, shall not be borne by us. Additionally, we cannot be held responsible for any defects that arise in equipment not manufactured by us. However, we will transfer to our customers the benefits of any guarantees and warranties provided by the respective manufacturers.
- We, as a company, and our employees explicitly disclaim any liability or responsibility for theft or fire damage, regardless of whether such loss or damage may have resulted from our negligence or lack of care. We shall not be held accountable for any such incidents, and individuals are advised to take appropriate measures to safeguard against such risks.
- The Purchaser assumes full responsibility and risk for all goods and materials supplied by our company, starting from the moment of delivery to the customer or the designated destination. It is mutually agreed that delivery is deemed complete upon the arrival of the carrying conveyance at the customer's premises or the initiation of unloading of the goods or materials from the conveyance, as well as the transfer of goods to our customer, their authorized representative, or carrier. In cases where goods are paid for by the customer and subsequently stored on our premises, delivery is considered to occur at the time of payment, and all provisions outlined in Clause (2 and 3) shall be fully applicable.
- We strive to provide accurate delivery or completion dates; however, it is important to note that any dates quoted or provided are given in good faith and cannot be guaranteed. Our commitment is to make every effort to deliver or complete within a reasonable timeframe, taking into consideration the unique circumstances of each specific case.
- This provision applies exclusively when we provide goods to a business customer. We hereby state that (a) none of the articles supplied by us to a business customer shall possess any expressed or implied warranty or condition of sale, neither in terms of quality nor fitness for any specific purpose, even if the customer adequately communicates the intended purpose of the article at the time of ordering and clearly indicates their reliance on our expertise and judgment. (b) Similarly, no proprietary article specifically requested from us by a business customer, in terms of name, type, and/or size, shall carry any such warranty or condition of sale
- The customer acknowledges their ample opportunity to thoroughly inspect the material, goods, items, or other supplied products provided by our company. They further affirm that they have been given the chance to conduct any necessary tests as they deem fit. The customer acknowledges that, as a result, they have not relied upon any representations made by our company, our employees, or our agents before or during the sales negotiations.
- In instances where a customer does not engage in a transaction within our business, but instead provides us with specific details about a particular product using a trade name or similar description, or requests that we procure it based on a trade name, we must clarify that we bear no liability regarding the suitability of the product for its intended purpose or its adherence to acceptable commercial standards.
- In order to organize transportation, whether at the specific request of our customer or otherwise, it is mutually agreed that we possess irrevocable authority to enter into any carriage agreement on terms that we, in our absolute discretion, deem appropriate. This authority extends to various modes of transportation, including road, rail, air, or sea. In fulfilling our role in arranging such transportation, it is understood that we act solely as an agent on behalf of the customer. Accordingly, we shall not assume any liability, regardless of its nature or cause, arising from said carriage, even in instances where our selection of a carrier may be deemed negligent.
- Unless otherwise specified in a separate agreement, we reserve the right to assert a general lien on any materials or property while they are in or on our premises. This lien will remain in effect until all outstanding payments owed to us by the owner or customer for the supplied goods have been settled.
- We hereby declare that in situations where we are entrusted with the storage of goods belonging to our customers, we shall not be held liable for any loss, damage, or delay relating to the said goods or property, regardless of the cause or nature of such incidents. This exemption from liability extends to circumstances where negligence on the part of our company or employees is alleged, including but not limited to incidents involving fire, theft, or any other cause. Additionally, we cannot be held responsible for any variations in weight or condition of the goods.
- We cannot be held accountable for any instances of non-supply or delays in supplying materials or goods, regardless of the cause or circumstances. This includes, but is not limited to, factors such as our own negligence, acts of nature, force majeure events, war or hostilities, invasions, riots, civil unrest, military takeovers, government regulations or directives, strikes or lockouts, fires, accidents, machinery breakdowns, labour or equipment shortages, or any other unforeseen conditions that may impact the production or transportation of said materials or goods. These circumstances are beyond our control and fall outside the scope of our responsibility.
- As part of our commitment to exceptional service, we ensure timely delivery of goods to our valued customers or designated premises. Unless otherwise arranged, deliveries are made promptly upon tendering the consignment at the designated location, typically the customer's address, during the regular cartage hours of the district. This adherence to efficient delivery practices reflects our dedication to meeting customer expectations and ensuring a seamless experience provided: (a) In the event that safe and adequate access or appropriate unloading facilities are not available, it is to be understood that delivery shall be considered completed one clear day after written notice (or, if previously agreed upon in writing, notice by telephone) of the arrival of the consignment at the customer's premises has been transmitted to the customer. Additionally, in cases where a consignment is held by us or a carrier for the purpose of awaiting further instructions, being "kept till called for," or any similar arrangement, and said instructions are not provided, or the consignment is not called for and removed within fourteen days from the date we notify our intention to deliver, then delivery shall be deemed completed at the conclusion of that specified time period.
- We will not be held liable, under any circumstances, including our own negligence, for any consequential loss or damage. This includes damages that the customer may be obligated to pay to a third party under any contract or in tort, loss of time waiting, costs associated with removing defective materials, claims by third parties against the customer, loss of earnings, loss of income, wages paid by the customer to employees, and loss of profit.
- Our liability, unless otherwise excluded under these conditions, will not exceed the cost to us of replacing the goods and/or materials that give rise to the claim or liability.
- All orders are accepted subject to the availability of the materials or goods ordered in the required quantities.
- Our prices only cover delivery on normal working days during normal working hours.
- We reserve the right to refuse to execute any order if payment arrangements or the customer's credit are unsatisfactory. In such cases, we may suspend or discontinue delivery of goods or sales to customers with overdue payments, without liability to us.
- Terms of payment immediately with the exception if agreed otherwise in writing are within 30 days from the invoice date. After this period, the invoiced amount will accrue penalty at a rate of 18 percent per annum. In addition, any overdue accounts passed to solicitors for collection will be charged a surcharge of 10 percent of the outstanding principal account, regardless of the timeframe. The appointment of solicitors is at our discretion and will not be questioned by the customer. The surcharge is payable regardless of whether legal proceedings are commenced, and it is in addition to interest and any costs awarded by a court. This provision does not affect our entitlement to be awarded costs in any legal proceedings.
- Value Added Tax (VAT) will be added to quoted prices at the applicable rate on the invoice date.
- The risk in any goods we supply to customers passes to the customer when the goods leave the place of storage to commence the journey or leave our manufacturing factory or premises. We may arrange transit insurance on behalf of the customer, but we make no warranty or representation regarding obtaining insurance. If insurance is arranged, the premium will be charged to the customer.
- Property and/or title in the goods or materials supplied by us will only pass to the purchaser upon full payment of the price of the goods and all sums owed by the purchaser to us. Until payment is made, the purchaser will store the goods or materials clearly indicating they are our property. If the purchaser uses the goods or materials in the manufacture or construction of other goods or structures, the property remains vested in us as security for the sums owed. The purchaser shall hold all goods and materials supplied by us, as well as any goods and structures incorporating them, to our order. If required, the purchaser shall store or segregate them to demonstrate that they are held to our order and are our property. However, the purchaser may sell the goods to a buyer within their normal business activities and direct the buyer to pay us any amounts owed up to the outstanding debt.
- These conditions shall be interpreted according to the laws of England. Any disputes or differences between the parties, including claims for unpaid sums, shall be determined by the Bradford City Registry of the High Court of Justice, to the exclusion of all others. If the dispute involves an amount below the City Court limit, it shall be determined by the County Court or the District Registry of the High Court, at our discretion.
- By placing an order with us, the customer acknowledges that they have read, understood, and accepted these conditions.
- The term "customer" includes Hire Purchase Company and owner. If a customer places an order through an agent, the agent guarantees that they have the authority to accept these conditions on behalf of the customer and have informed the customer about them.
- It is explicitly agreed that all the provisions mentioned also benefit any employees or agents of our company who are acting within their employment or in connection with it. For the purposes of the provisions mentioned above, the company is considered to be acting as the representative and agent of such employees or agents. These employees or agents are also considered to be involved in any contract made by the company as part of its regular trading activities.
- Owners and customers are strongly advised to ensure that their goods, materials, and liabilities under these conditions are insured against all risks associated with them. It is recommended that appropriate insurers or underwriters are informed accordingly.
- The reason we can offer lower rates for work, services, and prices for materials and goods provided or supplied is due to the acceptance of these conditions by the owner and/or customer.
