3.2 If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your Order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

7.8 If we fail to deliver the Products within 10 days of dispatch, our liability shall be limited to replacement of the products. We shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the Products to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer’s failure to provide us
with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Products.

7.9 If you fail to take or accept delivery of the Products within three Business Days of us notifying you that the Products 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 Products:

(a) delivery of the Products 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 Products were ready; and

7.14 When you own Products. You own a product once we have received payment in full for the Products delivered under this contract and Products delivered under all other contracts with you.

7.15 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you, for example do you have appropriate lifting equipment, what time you require delivery, who will be available to take delivery and sign for the delivery. If so, this will have been told to you over the telephone or set out in our brochure or on our website or told to you in the course of email exchanges. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.

7.16 Reasons we may suspend the supply of products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a product to:

(a) deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;

(b) update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;

(c) make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you (see clause 6).

7.17 Your rights if we suspend the supply of products. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the product, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency.

7.18 We may also suspend supply of the products if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the products when you are supposed to (see clause 14.4), we may suspend supply of the products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the products. We will not suspend the products where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see clause 14.6).

14. Price and payment

14.1 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which excludes VAT) will be the price in your quote. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 14.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.

14.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.

14.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and require the return of any goods provided to you.

14.4 How you must pay. Subject to statutory credit checks we accept payment with BACS, bank transfer all credit and debit cards except American Express, or cheque if no other method is available

14.5 We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount pursuant to the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Interest Act 1988 at the rate applicable from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.

14.6 What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us within 10 days to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

15. Our responsibilities for loss or damage suffered by you if you are a business

(a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors (as applicable);

Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.

If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

16.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. If you are a business, any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with a contract between us or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.
