2.2  The Order constitutes an offer by you to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Conditions. You are responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order are complete and accurate.
2.3  The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when we issue a written acceptance of the Order, at which point the Contract shall come into existence. Any Order which is received orally
       or over the telephone shall be confirmed in writing in such written acceptance. The Order shall form part of the Contract and each Order, when accepted, shall constitute a separate Contract.

3.    Goods
Images, samples, drawings, descriptions or advertising of the Goods may be contained in our catalogues, brochures, or on our website. These are for illustrative purposes only and are produced for the sole purpose of giving you an approximate idea of the Goods referred to in them.


4.    Delivery
4.1  We shall ensure that each delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note that shows the date of the Order, your (if applicable) and our relevant reference numbers, the type
       and quantity of the Goods (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable), and, if the Goods are being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Goods
       remaining to be delivered.
4.2  We shall deliver the Goods to the location set out in the Order or such other location as the parties may agree (Delivery Location) at any time after we notify you that the Goods are ready.
4.3  Delivery is completed on the completion of unloading of the Goods at the Delivery Location (Delivery).
4.4  Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. We shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a
       Force Majeure Event or your failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
4.5  If we fail to deliver the Goods, our liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by you in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest
      market available, less the price of the Goods. We shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or your
      failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
4.6  If you fail to accept delivery of the Goods within 10 Business Days of us notifying you that the Goods are ready, then, except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure
      Event or our failure to comply with our obligations under the Contract in respect of the Goods:
4.6.1  Delivery shall be deemed to have been completed at 9:00 am on the third Business Day after the day on which we notified you that the Goods were ready; and
4.6.2  we may store the Goods until actual delivery takes place, and charge you for all related costs and expenses (including insurance and any further shipping or delivery costs).
4.7  If 10 Business Days after the day on which we notified you that the Goods were ready for delivery you have not taken actual delivery of them, we may resell or otherwise dispose of
      part or all of the Goods and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, charge you for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.
4.8  We may deliver the Goods by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an
       instalment shall not entitle you to cancel any other instalment.


5.    Quality
5.1  We warrant that on delivery, and for a period of 60 days from the date of delivery (Warranty Period), the Goods shall:
5.1.1  conform in all material respects with their description;
5.1.2  be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship; and
5.1.3  be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979).
5.2  Subject to clause 5.4, if:
5.2.1  you give us notice in writing during the Warranty Period within a reasonable time of discovery that some or all of the Goods do not comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1;
5.2.2  we are given a reasonable opportunity of examining such Goods; and
5.2.3  you (if we ask you to do so) return such Goods to our place of business at your cost;
         we shall, at our option, repair or replace the defective Goods, or refund the price of the defective Goods in full.
5.3  If the Goods are delivered in instalments under clause 4.8, any right of repair, replacement or refund under and in accordance with clause 5.2 applicable to a defect in one instalment
       shall apply to that instalment only and not to any other instalments.
5.4  We shall not be liable for the Goods’ failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1 if:
5.4.1  you make any further use of such Goods after giving notice in accordance with clause 5.2;
5.4.2  the defect arises because you failed to follow our instructions (whether oral or written) as to the storage, commissioning, installation, use and maintenance of the Goods or (if
          there are none) good trade practice regarding the same;
5.4.3  the defect arises as a result of us following any drawing, design or specification supplied by you;
5.4.4  you alter or repair such Goods without our written consent;
5.4.5  the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal storage or working conditions; or
5.4.6  the Goods differ from their description as a result of changes made to ensure they comply with applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.
5.5  Except as provided in this clause 5, we shall have no liability to you in respect of the Goods’ failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1.
5.6  The terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.
5.7  These Conditions shall apply to any repaired or replacement Goods we supply.


6.    Title and Risk
6.1  The risk in the Goods shall pass to you on Delivery.
6.2  Title to the Goods shall not pass to you until the earlier of:
6.2.1  we receive payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods; and
6.2.2  you resell the Goods, in which case title to the Goods shall pass to you at the time specified in clause 6.4.
6.3  Until title to the Goods has passed to you, you shall:
6.3.1  store the Goods separately from all other goods you hold so that the Goods remain readily identifiable as our property;
6.3.2  not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;
6.3.3  maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery;
6.3.4  notify us immediately if you become subject to any of the events listed in clauses 11.1.2 - 11.1.4 (inclusive); and
6.3.5  give us such information as we may reasonably require from time to time relating to:
6.3.5.1  the Goods; and
6.3.5.2  your ongoing financial position.
6.4  You may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of your business (but not otherwise) before we receive payment for the Goods. However, if you resell the Goods before that time:
6.4.1  you do so as principal and not as our agent; and
6.4.2  title to the Goods shall pass from us to you immediately before the time at which you resell the Goods.
6.5  At any time before title to the Goods passes to you, we may:
6.5.1  by notice in writing, terminate your right under clause 6.4 to resell the Goods or use them in the ordinary course of your business; and
6.5.2  require you to deliver up all Goods in your possession that have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product, and if you fail to do so promptly, enter any of your
         premises or the premises of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.

7.1  The price of the Goods shall be the price set out in the Order.
7.2  We may, by giving notice to you at any time up to 3 Business Days before delivery, increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods that is due to:
7.2.1  any factor beyond our control (including foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties, and increases in labour, materials and other supply or manufacturing costs);
7.2.2  any request by you to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered; or
7.2.3  any delay caused by any of your instructions or your failure to give us adequate or accurate information or instructions.

7.3.1  excludes amounts in respect of value added tax (VAT), which you shall additionally be liable to pay to us at the prevailing rate, subject to the receipt of a valid VAT invoice; and

7.4  We may invoice you for the Goods on or at any time after Delivery.
7.5  You shall pay each invoice we submit:
7.5.1  within the time period or by the due date stated on the invoice; or
7.5.2  if no time period or due date is stated, by the end of the calendar month immediately following the calendar month in which Delivery occurred; and time for payment shall be
         of the essence of the Contract.
7.6  If you fail to make a payment due to us under the Contract by the due date, then, without limiting our remedies under clause 11, you shall pay interest on the overdue sum from
       the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment, and we may recover our costs and expenses (including legal and debt collection fees and costs)
       in collecting any late payment. Interest under this clause 7.6 will accrue each day at 6% a year above the Bank of England’s base rate from time to time, but at 6% a year for any
       period when that base rate is below 0%.

       this Contract in full.
8.3  Cancellation of the Contract for an Order of bespoke Goods is not possible at any time once production of those Goods has commenced.
