particular but without limitation, the Buyer may not set off any amount of loss or damage arising from alleged
defects in Goods received or Services supplied by the Company.
6. DELIVERY
6.1 Where Goods are delivered to the Buyer, the Buyer shall be responsible for unloading unless the Company
has expressly agreed to unload the Goods. Where Goods are collected by the Buyer at the Company's
premises, the Company will load the Buyer's vehicle.

charge where unloading of the Goods is delayed. Where the Company delivers to the Buyer’s Premises
the Buyer shall provide reasonable assistance in unloading the Goods.

unsuitable for the safe passage of its vehicles. Where delivery is made to the Buyer's premises the Buyer
will indemnify the Company against any loss suffered during unloading or as a result of the access way
being unsuitable. If the Buyer does not advise the Company of any access restrictions and it transpires that
the vehicle delivering the Goods is unsuitable and/or the access is restricted causing the delivery to be
delayed due to the Buyer failing to disclose the restricted access the Company may levy a charge.
6.4 Should the Buyer fail to collect to collect any Goods on the date notified to it by the Company or allow the

Company shall not be liable for any loss whatsoever or howsoever arising caused by its late or non-delivery
or by the failure to make Goods ready for collection on the due date. Time of despatch or delivery is not of
the essence and a delay in delivery will not entitle the Buyer to treat the contract as repudiated or to any
damages.
6.7 The Company reserves the right to despatch and/or make delivery by instalments and to tender a separate
invoice in respect of each instalment.
6.8 When despatch and/or delivery is to be by instalments or the Company exercises its right to deliver by
instalments or if there be delay in the despatch and/or delivery of any one or more instalments for whatever
reason, this will not entitle the Buyer to treat the contract as repudiated or to any damages.

requests delivery by a specific carrier any difference in cost between the Company's normal method of
carriage and that requested will be payable by the Buyer.

(or of the Company's supplier if delivery is to be made directly to the Buyer) regardless of whether they
remain on a vehicle of the Company or not.
7.2 Notwithstanding risk in the Goods passing to the Buyer, title in Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until
payment is received by the Company for the Goods and there are no other amounts then outstanding from

Buyer may resell on an arm’s length basis (in its own capacity as principal and not as agent for the Company
and for such purposes title to the relevant Goods shall pass from the Company to the Buyer immediately
prior to completion of such onwards sale) or use any Goods in the ordinary course of its business.
7.4 The Buyer's power of sale and use under this Condition 7 shall automatically cease if the Buyer becomes
insolvent or suffers any form of insolvency proceedings or action (whether or not involving the intervention
of the court) against it (including but without limitation any receivership, petition or order for administration,
winding up or bankruptcy, any proposal for or voluntary arrangement with creditors or proposal to compound
with creditors, or any similar procedures under the laws of England or any other jurisdiction) and in such
circumstances the Buyer shall notify any manager, receiver or insolvency practitioner that the Goods do not
belong to the Buyer but are the property of the Company. The power of sale and use shall also be
determinable at any time by notice of the Company to the Buyer.

Goods has ended, for the purposes of recovering those Goods.

involving advice in relation to the installation of Goods shall be taken to exclude any obligation to undertake

verify any designs or calculations provided) unless and only to the extent that the contract contains an
express statement signed by an authorised person on behalf of the Company that the Company shall
undertake such calculations or verification.
10.2 The Buyer shall supply as soon as reasonably practicable all information or documents reasonably required
or requested by the Company in order to allow the Company to carry out the Services.

they will provide satisfactory support and stability to the Goods and any other dependant item or structure

purchases from the Company all of the goods or materials set out in or required or described by or in the
Materials that the Company is in the business of supplying.

Company's liability specified in these Conditions. Should the Buyer before accepting the Company's offer
wish to obtain higher limits of liability or varied exclusion terms, the Company should be approached for an
alternative quotation as it may be prepared to consider this in return for an addition to the price but no such
discussion shall result in any variation to these Conditions unless and until agreed to by the Company in
accordance with Condition 2.4.

12 months commencing with the date of despatch, the Company will at its option replace or repair the
Goods as necessary and correct any defective Services. This Condition 12.2 only covers defects in the
Goods (or their packaging or instructions) which render them non-compliant with the Company's or their
manufacturer's design and specifications which have been incorporated into the contract in accordance
with these Conditions, or defects in the Services or part of them as a result of the Company’s failure to
exercise reasonable care and skill. It does not cover defects caused by: (i) abnormal storage, working
conditions, use, misuse, neglect or accident, fair wear and tear; (ii) any failure by the Buyer or any third
party to follow the Company’s oral or written instructions as to the storage, handling and use of the Goods

by the Buyer or any third party; (iv) the defect arises as a result of the Company following any drawing or
specification supplied by the Buyer; (v) the Goods differ from the specification as a result of changes made
to ensure they comply with applicable statutory or regulatory requirements; and/or (vi) other matters which
are excluded or restricted by these Conditions including, without limitation, Conditions 9 or 10.

the Company of the relevant defect in writing within 30 days of discovering it or within 30 days of when it is
notified to the Buyer by any third party (provided in each case it was discovered within the time described
in Condition 12.2). The Buyer must ensure that the Company is afforded a reasonable opportunity to
inspect the Goods in order to claim the benefit of Condition 12.2.
12.4 The remedies provided by Condition 12.2 shall be in place of all other claims for damages or loss or
compensation arising from or related to defects in, or non-compliance with the contract of the Goods or
Services or any aspect of them.

and each of the above sub-clauses shall be read as an independent term where the introductory
wording forms part of each sub-clause.
12.8
12.9
The Company's total aggregate liability to the Buyer arising from or related to each contract in respect of
any and all claims (whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise whatsoever and including without limitation
non-fraudulent misrepresentation) shall not exceed the price payable by the Customer.
The Company does not seek to limit or exclude in any way its liability for death or personal injury caused
by negligence; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; in respect of any breach of any condition implied
under section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979; and/or for any other matter or liability which cannot be
lawfully limited or excluded. Each provision of these Conditions and of any contract shall be read as subject
to this Condition 12.9 and no provision of these Conditions or any contract is intended to nor shall be
interpreted as seeking to limit or exclude any of the foregoing types of liability.
12.10 Each of these Conditions is to be treated as separate and independent.
12.11 Where Goods are supplied to the Buyer located in, or for delivery in another country outside the UK, there
shall be no term of the contract, whether express or implied, that the Goods will be suitable for the conditions
(or some of them) within, or will comply with any legal requirements of such other country, and the Buyer
agrees to rely entirely on its own assessment and enquiries in this respect.
12.12 No claim of any description related to any contract or the Goods or Services, or to the terms or
circumstances or statements surrounding their supply, shall be brought by the Buyer against the Company
at any time after two years from the date of the first invoice in respect of the contract price for such Goods
and/or Services.
12.13 The Buyer agrees to indemnify the Company against any claim (including any legal or other costs incurred
by the Company defending such a claim) made by a third party against the Company in respect of which
liability is excluded or limited as between the Company and the Buyer under these Conditions and in any
event arising from or related or connected to:-
12.13.1 the Goods, including their packaging and instructions (or any part of them) or Services; or
12.13.2 any other matter.
12.14 To the extent not otherwise excluded or limited under these Conditions, the Company's liability to the Buyer
whether contractual, in tort and/or for any breach of statutory duty or otherwise shall in all events be limited
to that proportion of the Buyer's losses which it would be just and equitable to require the Company to pay
having regard to the extent of the Company's responsibility for the same on the following assumptions,
namely that:
12.14.1 all other consultants, contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers in respect of any project for which the
Goods and/or Services are purchased have provided contractual undertakings to the Buyer that they
have exercised and shall continue to exercise all reasonable skill and care in the performance of their
services in connection with the said project and that they have and will supply only goods and materials
that comply with their contracts; and
12.14.2 any such other consultants, contractors, sub-contractors and suppliers have paid to the Buyer such
proportion of the losses which it would be just and equitable for them to pay having regard to the extent
of their responsibility for the Buyer's losses.
13. FORCE MAJEURE
13.1 The Company shall not be liable for any failure to carry out its obligations arising from circumstances outside
the Company’s control.
13.2 Non-exhaustive illustrations, of such circumstances would include act of God, war, riot, terrorism, explosion,
abnormal or extreme weather conditions, fire, flood, strikes, lock-outs, government action or regulations
(UK or otherwise), delay by suppliers, accidents and shortages of materials, labour, utilities or
manufacturing facilities.
13.3 If the circumstances preventing the performance of the contract are still continuing three months after the
said circumstances have arisen, then either party may give written notice to the other cancelling the contract
and neither party shall be under any further liability to the other except that the Buyer shall be liable to pay
the contract price less a reasonable allowance for what has not been performed by the Company.
14.SALES DOCUMENTATION AND TECHNICAL DATA
14.1 No information or expression of opinion contained in any catalogues, technical circulars, pricelists and other
literature or material published on the Company’s or any other website shall give rise to any liability
whatsoever for the Company, whether in contract, tort, misrepresentation or otherwise save that the
foregoing shall not act so as to limit or exclude any liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or for
any other matter which the Company is not lawfully permitted to limit or exclude liability for..
14.2 Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Company, any samples provided and/or technical
details issued by the Company are merely indicative of the type of Goods or Services to be supplied and
shall not constitute any representation, warranty or condition of the contract as to colour, composition,
quality, fitness for any purpose, or compliance with such sample or technical details.
15.PACKAGING AND HANDLING
15.1 Any packaging supplied is intended for delivery to the Buyer and is not intended for onward transportation
purposes and the Buyer is responsible for any subsequent movement of the Goods and any necessary
packaging in that regard. If the Buyer supplies packaging materials to the Company it shall be solely
responsible for the suitability and safety of such packaging and shall be responsible for any loss or damage
arising out of the Company’s use of such packaging.
15.2 Goods will, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Company and the Buyer, be packaged in a
manner that the Company deems reasonably suitable for the method of delivery to be adopted. The Buyer
will not be entitled to reject Goods on the basis of defective or inadequate packaging.
16.SEVERANCE
16.1 If any term of any contract shall be held to be void or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever it shall be
deemed severed from that contract without affecting the other provisions of that contract which will remain
in full force and effect. If any such provision would be valid if part of the wording of such provision was
deleted then the provision shall apply with such modification as shall make it valid and effective while
preserving to the maximum extent its intended effect.
17. NOTICES
17.1 Any notice to be given under any contract shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given
if sent or delivered to the party concerned at its registered office address or such other address as the party
may from time to time notify in writing in accordance with this Condition 17.1 and shall be deemed to have
been served, if sent by post, 48 hours after posting. If there is no registered office or notified address for
the Buyer then the Company may serve notice to any address where the Buyer has corresponded from.
18. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND POLICIES
18.1 The Buyer shall and shall procure that each member of its group comply with all applicable laws, statues,
regulations and codes from time to time in force and the Mandatory Policies.

kind received by the Buyer in connection with the performance of any contract.
19. GENERAL
19.1 Where any contract refers to one of the groups of Incoterms, those Incoterms shall be incorporated into the
contract except to the extent that those Incoterms are inconsistent with these Conditions, in which case
these Conditions prevail unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties.
19.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing where Goods are to be exported from the UK, payment shall be in
Sterling. Further in all export contracts unless agreed otherwise in writing payment shall be made prior to
despatch of the Goods.
19.3 When payment is made in a currency other than Sterling, the sum payable shall be increased, in order to
maintain the value of the payment when converted to Sterling, by the percentage of any depreciation of the
payment currency against Sterling (as quoted by the Company's principal bankers) which has arisen
between the date of the contract and the date when payment is due (or if later the date when payment is
actually made).
19.4 The Company will be responsible for obtaining any necessary United Kingdom export licence. The Buyer
will be responsible for obtaining all necessary licences which it may require to enable it to import and use
the Goods and the Buyer shall not be discharged from its obligations hereunder by any total or partial
prohibition on import or by the refusal or non-availability of any import licence or by the imposition of any
conditions or restriction upon the grant of such licence.
19.5 In the event of the Buyer failing to obtain the necessary licences on or before the date of dispatch of the
Goods by the Company, the Company shall be entitled (at its option and without prejudice to its other rights)
to deal with the Goods as set out in Condition 3.5.
19.6 The Company and the Buyer are with respect to each other independent contractors and nothing in any
contract and no actions taken by the parties under any contract shall be deemed to constitute any agency,
partnership, association, joint venture or other co-operative enterprise between the parties.
19.7 The Buyer may assign, novate, transfer or sub-contract the performance of any of its rights and/or
obligations under any contract other than with the prior written consent of the Company.

their respective subject matter or formation (including any non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be
governed by English Law and any dispute or action arising out of these Conditions, any contract or related
to the substance of or otherwise in connection with the same shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction

more matters of dispute or actions bring proceedings against the Buyer in any state or territory that the
Company chooses and which accepts jurisdiction.

to enforce any judgment or order or award in any other jurisdiction as it may in its discretion determine, nor

preclude the Company from taking proceedings or enforcing any judgment or order in any other jurisdiction
whether concurrently or not.

prejudice to the exercise of any other right or remedy which may be available to the Company whether
under any contract and/or as a matter of general law. The rights and remedies of the Company shall not be
diminished, waived or extinguished by the granting of any indulgence, forbearance or extension of time by

remedies.
