2.3	No variation of these Conditions or to an Order, or to a quotation from the Company will be binding unless expressly agreed in writing and executed by a duly authorised signatory on behalf of the Company.
2.4	Each Order by the Customer to the Company will be deemed to be an offer to purchase Goods subject to the Conditions and will be deemed to have been authorised by an officer of the Customer’s company.

6.	DESCRIPTIONS, ILLUSTRATIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS

6.2	Material finishes and product colours shown on the Website are for illustrative purposes only and can vary when viewed on differing computer equipment.

The amount of the re-delivery charge depends on the carrier used to effect re-delivery. If the re-delivery is refused or fails, the Company reserves the right to resell or otherwise dispose of the Goods, and may invoice the Customer:
	(a) for reasonable storage charges and costs of resale; and

7.11	Manufacturing of bespoke goods will not commence until such time as the Company receives from the Customer written approval of its drawings and any specifications.
7.12	Goods may be delivered by instalments. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment will not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment.

7.14	The Company will not be liable for any delay in or failure of delivery of the Goods caused by:
	(a) the Customer’s failure to:
	(i) make the Location (or any equipment or items necessary for the delivery of the Goods) available to the Company; or
	(ii) prepare the Location in accordance with the Company’s instructions as required for the provision of the Goods; or
	(iii) provide the Company with adequate instructions pertaining to delivery of the Goods, or otherwise relating to the Goods; or

	(a) the Company’s receipt of all sums due in respect of the Goods, including carriage charges, together with;
	(b) all other sums which are, or which become due to the Company from the Customer on any account.
8.3	Until ownership of the Goods has passed to the Customer, the Customer must:
	(a) store the Goods (at no cost to the Company) separately from all other goods and any goods of any third party in such a way that they remain identifiable as the Company’s property;
	(b) not destroy, deface, or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods, maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep it insured on the Company’s behalf for the full price of the Goods against all risks to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction.

	(d) before title to the Goods passes to the Customer, the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 8.4 (a) or (b), or the Company reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen and notify the Customer accordingly, then:
	(e) without limiting any other right or remedy the Company may have, the Company may at any time require the Customer to deliver up the Goods and, if the Customer fails to do so promptly, the Company may (during normal business hours and with or without vehicles) enter any premises of the Customer or of any third party where the Goods are stored or kept in order to recover them. The Customer shall not keep the Goods at any premises in respect of which the Customer does not have the right to grant access to the Company.
9.	QUOTATIONS, PRICE, AND PAYMENT
9.1	Any quotation by the Company for the provision of Goods will be deemed to be:
	(a) an invitation to treat (and shall not be an offer) by the Company to supply Goods on and subject to the Conditions; and
	(b) will be valid for 30 days only from the date of issue (unless otherwise stated on the quotation); and
	(c) subject to adjustment at any time up to delivery of the goods.
9.2	Quotations are not binding on the Company and the Customer acknowledges that the Company may need to impose charges in addition to the charges set out in its quotation. The need to impose additional charges can arise for a number of reasons, including (but not limited to) circumstances where:
	(a) the Customer requests additional or different Goods (and the Company has agreed to make such additions or changes);
	(b) additional or different Goods are necessary in the opinion of the Company to comply with applicable health and safety or statutory requirements;
	(c) additional or different Goods are necessary in the opinion of the Company as a result of incorrect or misleading information having been provided to the Company;

9.3	Any payments which are to be made under the Contract shall be made at the times and in the amounts stipulated.

	(a) suspend or cancel the supply of Goods to the Customer;
	(b) terminate all and any Contract(s) with the Customer upon giving written notice.
9.4	All prices exclude VAT and delivery charges, which will be added to the total amount due.
9.5	The Website contains a large number of Goods, and it is always possible that, despite the Company’s best efforts, some of the Goods listed on the Website may be incorrectly priced. The Company will normally verify prices as part of its dispatch procedures so that, where the correct price of the Goods is less than the stated price, the Company will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Goods to the Customer. If the correct price of the Goods is higher than the price stated on the Website, the Company will normally, at its discretion, either contact the Customer for instructions before dispatching the Goods, or reject the Order and notify the Customer of such rejection.
9.6	The Company is under no obligation to provide the Goods to the Customer at the incorrect (lower) price, even after The Company has accepted the Order, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by the Customer as a mispricing.

9.8	Payment is required prior to dispatch unless the Credit Account Terms and Conditions have been agreed.
9.9	Credit will only be given where the Customer is permitted to open a credit account with the Company (in accordance with Credit Account Terms and Conditions). The opening, use and termination of a credit account are subject to separate terms and conditions, and credit may be denied in the absence of an agreement with the Customer incorporating the credit account terms and conditions.
9.10	All payments must be made in Sterling, and time is of the essence in respect of any payments to be made by the Customer. If the Customer is in default and for each month or part thereof that it remains in default, The Company reserves the right to levy interest (at not less than 8% above the Bank of England’s interest rate in force on the date that any payment to the Company from the Customer becomes due and at any subsequent rate where the Bank of England’s rate changes and the debt remains unpaid) and other charges in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 as may be amended from time to time. The Company reserves the right to withhold dispatch of the Goods if the Customer’s account is in arrears.
9.11	If any deposit is paid to the Company in respect of the Goods, then such deposit will not be refunded to the Customer under any circumstances. The Company will not pay interest on any deposit held.
9.12	The Company shall have a general lien on all goods and property belonging to the Customer and such lien shall be exercisable in respect of all sums lawfully due from the Customer to the Company; the Company shall be entitled on the expiration of fourteen days’ notice to dispose of such goods or property in such manner and at such price as it thinks fit and to apply the proceeds toward such debt.
9.13	The Company shall not entertain any request for liquidated damages, nor accept any retentions or withholdings of payment, nor accept any Pay Less Notices issued by the Customer.
9.14	All payments by the Customer will be made without set-off or counterclaim, free and clear of and without deductions for any tax, levy, duty, charge, or withholdings of any kind now or in the future.

	(a) returns of non-faulty Goods shall only be refunded or replaced if the Customer contacts the Company within 5 working days following receipt of the Goods, informing the Company of the Customer’s wish to return them. The Goods must be returned in accordance with the Company’s standard authorisation procedure (please contact the Company on 01202 650900 or [email protected] for details). Without limitation, the Customer must take reasonable care of the Goods in the Customer’s possession and the Goods must be returned at the Customer’s risk, in the same condition in which the Customer received them and securely re-packed in their original packaging. A handling charge of at least 25% of the invoiced value of the Goods will be levied. Returns will not be accepted where the original packaging has been damaged.
	(b) Any non-faulty Goods which are non-stock Goods, or which are bespoke, made-to-measure, personalised, customised, made to the Customer’s specification or specially ordered (Restricted Goods) may not be returned;
	(c) If the Customer wishes to return Goods to the Company because they are damaged, missing or defective, any such damage, missing items and or defect must be notified to the Company as soon as possible, but in any event within 2 working days of the date that the Customer discovered or ought to have discovered the damage or defect, (within 24 hours if damage in transit is alleged), and no further use of the Goods must be made following discovery of the damage or defect. The Company will examine the returned Goods and will notify the Customer of any refund via e-mail within a reasonable period of time. The Company will usually process the refund due to the Customer as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 days of the day the Company confirmed to the Customer via e-mail that the Customer was entitled to a refund for the damaged or defective Goods. Goods returned by the Customer because of damage or defect may be replaced or refunded in full, at the discretion of the Company.
	(d) If the Customer wishes to return Goods to the Company because they are believed to be faulty, The Company reserves the right in the first instance to send an engineer to investigate the fault and inspect the Goods at the Location. In these instances, if the inspection finds the fault is a result of incorrect application, maintenance, or installation, or of misuse or vandalism, or any other cause that cannot be reasonably considered to be an inherent fault of the Goods caused by factory workmanship or defect due to non-conforming material, then a charge will be made for this inspection, and the return request will be refused. The Company reserves the right to require payment of this charge upfront prior to inspection and to refund it if/when the Goods are proved to be faulty. Where the dimensions of the Goods fall within acceptable industry standard manufacturer’s tolerances, the Goods shall not be considered faulty and cannot be returned.
	(e) The Company reserves the right to require the Buyer to return the Goods to any UK postal address other than that of the main trading address of the Company.
10.2	The Company will usually refund any money received from the Customer using the same method originally used by the Customer to pay for the purchase.
10.3	The Customer has an obligation to take reasonable care of the Goods whilst they are in their possession. The Company may, at its discretion and without limitation, refuse to refund or replace any Goods if the Company considers that the Customer has failed to discharge this obligation.
10.4	The Customer must not make any improper use of, or make any unauthorised modifications or repairs to the Goods, and the Customer must otherwise take reasonable care to avoid any risk of damage occurring to the Goods by any means.
