The Company will usually give the Buyer an indication of when the Company expects delivery to be made in its order acknowledgement and/or order confirmation.

Where the Buyer fails to collect the Goods or arrange for actual delivery of the Goods within 30 days and payment in advance has been made in whole or in part, the Company reserves the right to sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and deduct costs, loss of overheads and profit prior to accounting to the Buyer for any balance from such sale (if any).
   4.6 The Buyer shall provide at its expense adequate and appropriate equipment and manual labour for loading and/or unloading the Goods for delivery. The Buyer must inspect and check the Goods on actual delivery to ensure that they conform to the order and the Buyer’s requirements.

   4.8 The Company may deliver the Goods by separate instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid for in accordance with the provisions of the Contract.
   4.9 Each instalment shall be a separate Contract and no cancellation or termination of any one Contract relating to an instalment shall entitle the Buyer to repudiate or cancel any other Contract or instalment.
   4.10 The Company is able to deliver the Goods to the countries listed at (International Delivery Destinations). There are restrictions on some Goods for certain International Delivery Destinations. If Buyer’s order is to be sent to an International Delivery Destination, such order may be subject to additional import duties and taxes which are generally applied when the delivery reaches such destination. The Company has no control over such charges and cannot predict their amount. Buyer shall be responsible for payment of such charges and should contact its local customs office for information in respect of such charges before completing its order.
   4.11 In the event that the Company, for any reason, is unable to deliver the Goods to Buyer’s required International Delivery Destination, the Company shall notify the Buyer in writing and, if payment has already been made by the Buyer such payment shall be refunded as soon as possible. The Company shall have no liability and/or responsibility if it is unable to deliver to any International Delivery Destination.

6. Risk/title
   6.1 Subject to clause 4.5, the Goods are at the risk of the Buyer from the time of delivery. Ownership of the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until the Company has received in full (in cash or cleared funds) all sums due to it in respect of the Goods and all other sums which are due to the Company from the Buyer on any Account.
   6.2 Until ownership of the Goods has passed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall:
   (a) hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as the Company’s bailee;

   (c) not remove, destroy, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;
   (d) maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured on the Company’s behalf for their full price against all risks to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company. On request the Buyer shall produce the policy of insurance to the Company; and
   (e) deliver up the Goods to the Company on demand.
   6.3 The Buyer may resell the Goods before ownership has passed to it solely on the basis that any sale shall be affected in the ordinary course of the Buyer’s business at full market value and be a sale of the Company’s property on the Buyer’s own behalf and the Buyer shall deal as principal when making such a sale.
   6.4 The Buyer shall keep the entire proceeds of sale of the Goods separate from any monies of the Buyer and any third party. The monies held shall be held on trust for the Company in a separate bank account for that purpose which shall remain in credit. Monies so held shall be payable to the Company upon demand in such sum as may be outstanding and due to the Company from time to time. The Buyer shall maintain and promptly disclose to the Company upon demand copy bank statements and details of the balance held on the account and records of sale of Goods including details of purchasers and payments received.
   6.5 The Buyer’s right to possession of the Goods shall terminate immediately if the Buyer:

   (b) suffers or allows any execution, whether legal or equitable, to be levied on his/its property or obtained against it; or
   (c) fails to observe or perform any of its obligations under the Contract or any other agreement between the Company and the Buyer; or

   6.7 The Buyer grants the Company, its agents and employees an irrevocable licence at any time to enter any premises where the Goods are or may be stored in order to inspect them, or, where the Buyer’s right to possession has terminated, to recover them. Where the Company is unable to determine whether any Goods are the goods in respect of which the Buyer’s right to possession has terminated, the Buyer shall be deemed to have sold all goods of the kind sold by the Company to the Buyer in the order in which they were invoiced to the Buyer.
   6.8 Should the Company repossess any Goods or the Buyer delivers up any Goods in accordance with this condition 6, the Contract in respect of those particular Goods shall be rescinded.

   7.1 Unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, the price for the Goods shall be the price as quoted on our site at the time the Buyer submits their order. The Company shall use reasonable care to ensure that the prices of the Goods are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system.
   7.2 It is possible that despite the Company’s reasonable efforts, some of the Goods on its site may be incorrectly priced. If the Company discovers an error in the price of the Goods subject to the Contract, the Company shall contact the Buyer to inform it of this error and give the Buyer an option of purchasing to Goods at the correct price or cancelling the order. If the Company is unable to contact the Buyer in respect of a pricing error (after using the contact details made available by the Buyer) the Company will treat the order as cancelled and notify the Buyer or such cancellation in writing. If the Company mistakenly accepts and processes the Buyer’s order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by the Buyer as a mispricing, the Company may cancel the Contract and refund the Buyer for any sums it has paid. .
   7.3 The price for the Goods shall be exclusive of any value added tax and all costs, charges, taxes, levies and other fees in relation to packaging, loading, unloading, carriage and insurance, all of which (where possible) amounts the Buyer shall pay in addition when it is due to pay for the Goods or for which, in accordance with condition 4.10, the Buyer shall be responsible. The Company shall inform the Buyer during the order process of the delivery costs and charges. Subject to the Company’s minimum order value (details of which can be found on the site), the Company offers free United Kingdom mainland delivery. Due to variations in delivery prices depending on the volume and size of the Goods ordered the Company can only provide an estimate of the cost of delivery to any International Delivery Location on written request. The Company may arrange delivery to an address designated by the Buyer upon request (and for such further cost as agreed in writing between the parties).
   7.4 The price for the Goods is based on the cost of materials, labour, transport, taxes (including value added tax) and duties and all other relevant costs at the date of the order. If the rate of value added tax changes between the date of the Contract and the date of delivery, the Company shall adjust the value added tax the Buyer pays unless the Buyer has already paid for the Goods in full before the change in value added tax takes effect. The Company reserves the right to vary the price for the Goods to take account of any variation (howsoever arising) in these costs or the imposition of any new taxes or duties between the date of the quotation and/or order acknowledgement and the delivery date.

The Buyer agrees to use its best endeavours to ensure that any additional security required by the Company (including, but not limited to, a third party providing additional guarantee) is provided. The Company may decide to reinstate the Account if the Buyer provides the additional security required or meets any other conditions required to be satisfied by the Company.
8.6 If the Company exercises its right to cancel or suspend an Account, in accordance with conditions 8.4 and 8.5 respectively, all sums owed to the Company by the Buyer at the date of cancellation or suspension shall be payable on demand and the Company may decide to continue trading with the Buyer on the basis set out in condition 8.1.
