General
These terms only will govern sales by us unless we expressly agree in writing to any variation.
A contract is not made between ourselves and a Buyer until we have accepted his order (whether
resulting from a quotation or ours or not).
We trade online with the best of intentions to fulfil every order diligently, professionally and without
malice or intent to harm or cause damage or loss to any customer.
However, we also trade with goals to make profits to allow us to continue providing the best of
service to all our customers.
With this in mind, we absolutely retain the right to refuse an order for WHATEVER REASON.
If we decide that it is unfeasible to fulfil your order for any reason, we will refund your money
immediately by the SAME method that it was originally paid to us. The time it takes for the money to
be credited back to you will depend on your card provider or payment facilitator. We will advise you
that we have done so from our side.
Please bear in mind that our regular office hours are Monday through to Friday from 8.00AM to
5.30PM (except on Fridays when we close at 5.00PM) so we will respond to your order during these
times if we have to advise you of a cancellation of your order
Prices
Prices are subject to alteration without prior notice and the price ruling at the date of despatch of
goods will be the contract price.
Unless otherwise agreed the cost of delivery to any destination will be paid by the buyer for all orders to be delivered by other than by common carrier and for orders over £50 in value when delivery is by common carrier.
There will be minimum invoice and line value, which may be varied by us from time to time.
Prices
Unless we have at our discretion agreed to grant credit terms goods must be paid for at the time of order.
When we have agreed to grant credit, payment must be made to us not later than the thirtieth day of the month next following that in which the goods are invoiced.
If any payment is overdue, interest on the sum concerned will be payable at 3% over Royal Bank of
Scotland base lending rate for the time being in force.
Credit terms granted may be withdrawn or altered by us at any time. Without notice.
If we consider that a Buyer’s creditworthiness is impaired or because of late payments, we may at our absolute discretion and without prejudice to our rights against the Buyer, suspend performance of our obligations under the contract or treat the contract as repudiated by the Buyer.
Goods will be invoiced when ready for despatch.
When goods are to be delivered in instalments, each instalment will rank as a separate contract and payment is to be made accordingly. A defect in any delivery instalment shall not entitle a Buyer to suspend, reduce or refuse to make payment in respect of any instalment.
The Buyer shall not be entitled to withhold payment of any amount payable under the contract to us because of any claim the Buyer might have under Term 7 or otherwise.
Delivery
Delivery dates quoted are estimates only. We will make every reasonable effort to keep them but we accept no liability for any financial or other loss or damage (whether direct or indirect) if delivery is nonetheless delayed nor shall any such delay entitle the Buyer not to accept or pay for the goods
when they delivered.
We will arrange delivery of goods within the UK by means at our discretion unless the Buyer otherwise requires.
The risk in the goods will pass to the Buyer when they are all off-loaded at their destination if we are the carrier, and on leaving our premises if not.
Without accepting any liability for our failure in any case to do so we will pursue for the benefit of the Buyer any claim for damage to or short delivery or loss of goods in transit provided that we and the carrier are notified in writing of the claim within 14 days after the date of the advice note or other despatch notification in the case of a complete loss and within 5 days after delivery in the case of damage or short delivery and in the later case also that on delivery the goods have been signed for unexamined or the damage or short delivery has been recorded on the carriers delivery documentation.

The storage will be at the Buyer’s risk, and will not entitle the Buyer to postpone payment for the goods.
