Delivery Terms and Conditions

4. Delivery and Risk

4.1 Subject to the provisions of Conditions 4.2 and 4.3, the Seller shall deliver the Goods to the Delivery Address and delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have occurred immediately upon the arrival of the Goods at the Delivery Address.

4.2 If the Delivery Address is the Seller’s premises, the Buyer shall be responsible for collecting the Goods therefrom.. Goods shall be collected between 08:30 and 17:00 on a Working Day within five (5) Working Days of the date on which the Seller informs the Buyer that the Goods are available for collection. Delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have occurred on the Seller placing the Goods at the Buyer’s disposal at the time of collection or at 17:00 on the final date for collection of the Goods, whichever is the earlier to occur.

4.3 If the Delivery Address is outside mainland Great Britain, the Goods shall be delivered DDU (as such term is defined in Incoterms, 2000 edition) at the Delivery Address. Delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have occurred on completion by the Seller of its obligations pursuant to such Incoterm. Where this Condition 4.3 applies, it shall take precedence over any other conflicting provision in these Conditions relating to the parties’ respective delivery obligations.

4.4 Time for delivery of the Goods shall not be of the essence of the Contract and any times or dates relating to delivery provided by the Seller are non-binding estimates only. The Seller shall have no liability to the Buyer in respect of or in connection with any delay in delivery of the Goods. In particular but without limitation, if Condition 7.4 applies Goods will not be despatched or made available for collection until payment in full in cleared funds of the Total Contract Price has been received by the Seller.

4.5 With immediate effect from the time delivery of the Goods is deemed to have occurred pursuant to Conditions 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3, risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer and the Seller shall have no further obligations whatsoever in relation to the transportation, care or storage of the Goods. 4.6 If any Goods are still in the possession of the Seller after a period of five (5) Working Days from the deemed delivery date, the Seller shall have the right (without giving notice to the Buyer) to dispose of the Goods in any manner it sees fit, including re-selling the Goods and retaining any proceeds of sale. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Condition

4.6 shall be construed as preventing the Seller from taking any action against the Buyer for recovery of the Total Contract Price (or, if the Seller exercises its right to re-sell the Goods, such part of the Total Contract Price as is not recovered by the Seller by way of the proceeds of such re-sale) and any losses, damages, costs and/or expenses incurred by the Seller in connection with such disposal.

4.7 The Seller may, at its option, deliver Goods by separate instalments, in which case each instalment shall be treated as a separate contract on and subject to these Conditions. No breach by the Seller of any one contract relating to an instalment shall entitle the Buyer to any right of action, cancellation or termination in respect of either the Contract as a whole or any contract relating to any other instalment.

5. Loss and Damage in Transit and Inspection of Goods on Delivery

5.1 The Seller shall only be liable for any loss or damage to the Goods in transit if Conditions 4.1 or 4.3 apply to the Contract and the loss or damage occurs prior to the point at which delivery of the Goods is deemed to have occurred pursuant to Condition 4.1 or 4.3 (as applicable) and either:

(a) the loss or damage is notified to the Seller by the Buyer in writing within 48 hours from the time of deemed delivery; or

(b) in the case of total loss, the non-arrival is notified to the Seller in writing within 48 hours of receipt by the Buyer of the Seller’s invoice for the Goods.

5.2 Without prejudice to the provisions of Conditions 5.1 and 8.5, the Buyer shall inspect the Goods for defects immediately following collection or delivery and unless the Buyer notifies the Seller of any alleged defect in the Goods within seven (7) days of the date of delivery or collection of the Goods the Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods as delivered.

5.3 The Seller’s liability in respect of any alleged damage or defect notified to it pursuant to Conditions 5.1 or 5.2 shall be conditional upon the Buyer, in accordance with the Seller’s instructions, promptly making available for collection by the Seller or returning to the Seller at the Buyer’s cost the allegedly damaged or defective Goods.

5.4 Without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 8.5, the Seller’s liability in relation to any claim under this Condition 5 shall in all circumstances be limited (at the Seller’s sole option) to the replacement or repair as soon as reasonably practicable of any Goods which the Seller finds to be lost, damaged or defective or, where payment for such Goods has already been made by the Buyer, crediting the Buyer with the relevant amount of the Total Contract Price and, if applicable, the reimbursement to the Buyer of the Buyer’s reasonable costs incurred in returning such Goods to the Seller.

8.4 The Seller shall have no liability to the Buyer for any breach of warranty under this Condition 8:

(a) unless the Buyer has complied with its obligations under Condition 8.2;

(d) if the non-conformity in question was caused or aggravated by any act or omission on the part of the Buyer, its employees, officers, representatives or customers, including: (i) any use, handling, assembly or storage of the Goods in any manner contrary to any instructions provided by the Seller and/or good trade practice; or (ii) any modification or alteration of the Goods;

(c) save as expressly provided in these Conditions, all warranties, conditions, and other terms implied by statute or common law in relation to the Goods are hereby excluded from the Contract.

9.3 Any reference in the Contract to the Seller’s liability to the Buyer shall mean any liability of the Seller to the Buyer whatsoever, whether arising in contract, tort (including negligence and breach of statutory duty), misrepresentation or otherwise.
