Terms and Conditions of Sale

1 Application of these Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions (“Conditions”) apply to all supplies made by the Supplier to the Purchaser. Where the Purchase Order purports to be made on or subject to terms and conditions other than these Conditions, the Purchaser agrees that such other terms and conditions are disregarded and form no part of the Contract unless the Supplier agrees otherwise in writing.

2 Quotations, Purchase Orders and Forecasts

Any quotation made by the Supplier is not an offer to sell and no Purchase Order given in pursuance of any quotation will bind the Supplier unless and until such Purchase Order is accepted by the Supplier in its absolute discretion. All quotations are subject to withdrawal or variation by the Supplier at any time prior to acceptance of a Purchase Order.

Where the Purchaser has provided the Supplier with a forecast of future requirements it acknowledges that the Supplier will be entitled to rely on the accuracy of such forecast(s) for the purpose of ordering raw materials and arranging its resources so as to be able to meet those forecast requirements. In the event that any such forecast is materially inaccurate the Supplier shall be entitled to invoice the Purchaser for all costs, expenses or losses which result from the Supplier having relied on the inaccurate forecast. Such invoice will be subject to the normal terms of payment applying to the Purchaser.

3 Terms of Payment

Terms of payment are strictly 30 days from end of the month of issue of the tax invoice unless otherwise agreed to by the Supplier. Any credit limit determined by the Supplier, in its absolute discretion, and as varied from time to time by the Supplier, shall apply to all purchases of supplies from the Supplier. If payments are not made within the above terms the Supplier is entitled to calculate and charge interest at a rate of 12 % per annum calculated daily.

4 Default

If the Purchaser defaults in payment, or an application is made to a court to wind up the Purchaser, or a receiver or administrator is appointed to manage the affairs of the Purchaser, or the Purchaser makes or proposes to make any arrangement with its creditors, then the Supplier may, without prejudice to any other remedy that may be available to the Supplier, at its option withhold further deliveries or terminate the Contract and may recover from the Purchaser, at a minimum, reasonable compensation for all costs incurred in complying with the Purchaser Order.

5 Delivery and Risk

While the Supplier will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver by the date specified in the Purchase Order, it does not guarantee delivery on that date and is not liable for any loss resulting from late or early delivery. Delivery of the Goods shall be effected when the Goods are unloaded from the delivery vehicle or placed on the Purchaser’s or the Purchaser’s agent’s nominated carrier. If no date for delivery has been specified, then the Goods shall be supplied to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall receive the Goods as soon as practicable after the Purchase Order has been accepted by the Supplier. Risk in the Goods passes to the Purchaser at the time of delivery. Delivery to the Purchaser is deemed to occur at the time of delivery to the Purchaser, its agent or carrier.

6 Passing of Property

The Purchaser agrees that property in the Goods is retained by the Supplier until payment by the Purchaser of all sums owing to the Supplier, whether under the Contract or otherwise.

If the Purchaser fails to pay by the due date any amount owing to the Supplier, the Supplier may (without prejudice to any of its other rights) recover and resell any of the Goods in which property has not passed to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser authorises the Supplier to enter onto the premises where the Goods are kept to take possession of the Goods for that purpose at any time.

If the Purchaser sells or purports to sell any of the Goods supplied by the Supplier in which property has not passed to the Purchaser, then the Purchaser does so as a fiduciary for the Supplier. The proceeds of such sale are the property of the Supplier to the extent of any money owed to it by the Purchaser. The Purchaser must account to the Supplier for that portion of the proceeds of sale.

7 Cancellations

Any request by the Purchaser for cancellation of a Purchase Order must be in writing and may be delivered by post, hand delivery, facsimile or email.
