The Order constitutes an offer by the Purchaser to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Conditions. The Purchaser is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order are complete and accurate. The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when the Seller issues a written acceptance of the Order or when the Seller despatches the Goods to the Purchaser at which point the Contract shall come into existence. No modifications to these Conditions (whether expressed or implied by the Purchaser) shall apply unless accepted in writing by the Seller’s Managing Director.

They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.

3. Performance of Contract

(a) Delivery dates are approximate only, are not binding on the Seller and are not of the essence of the Contract.

The Purchaser shall accept delivery of the Goods.

(b) The Seller 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 the Purchaser to cancel any other instalment or the Contract as a whole.

(a) Title in the Goods shall not pass to the Purchaser until the Seller has received payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods and any other goods or services that the Seller has supplied to the Purchaser in respect of which payment has become due. Until title passes to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall:
(i) hold such Goods on a fiduciary basis as the Seller’s bailee;

readily identifiable as the Seller’s property;
(iii) not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to such Goods;
and

On request the Purchaser shall allow the Seller to inspect such Goods and the insurance policy;
(v) but the Purchaser may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business subject to
Conditions (b) – (h) below.

(b) Until title in the Goods passes to the Purchaser (and provided the Goods are still in existence and have not been resold) the Seller may require the Purchaser to deliver up the Goods to the Seller and if the Purchaser fails to do so forthwith, may enter the premises of the Purchaser or any third party where the Goods are stored and repossess them. The Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller in respect of any claims, costs or damages against or incurred by the Seller as a result of entering the premises.

(c) The Purchaser may sell any Goods in the ordinary course of business which may have been delivered but which are still owned by the Seller PROVIDED THAT the Seller may by notice given at any time terminate the right to sell. Such right shall terminate automatically upon a receiver or administrative receiver being appointed over any assets of the Purchaser or the Purchaser becoming insolvent or going into liquidation or becoming subject to an administration order.

(d) If the Purchaser sells the Goods pursuant to the rights granted in Condition 4 (c) above, the Purchaser shall hold the proceeds of sale as trustee for the Seller until the Contract price has been paid and shall open a separate account with its bankers for the sole purpose of receiving the proceeds of sale of the Goods and paying out of it the price of the Goods to the Seller.

(e) The Purchaser may attach the Goods to the Goods of a third party or its own but not in such a way that the Goods lose their separate identity and are not capable of being removed PROVIDED THAT the Seller may by notice given at any time terminate this right and such right shall terminate automatically upon a receiver or administrative receiver being appointed over any assets of the Purchaser or the Purchaser going into liquidation or becoming subject to an
administration order.

(f) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller, risk in the Goods shall pass to the Purchaser on despatch from the Seller’s works and the Seller shall not thereafter incur any liability whatsoever for damage to the Goods, but the Seller shall, on behalf of the Purchaser,forward any claim for damage to the appropriate carrier if such claim is notified in writing to the Seller in time to enable the Seller to comply with relevant time limits in the contract of carriage.

(g) Patterns, jigs, tools, fixtures and moulds manufactured by the Seller for carrying out the Purchaser’s orders and plans, drawings and specifications submitted by the Seller to the Purchaser or prepared by the Seller for the Purchaser’s requirements shall be and remain the Seller’s property, notwithstanding any charge made by the Seller in respect of them. Where the Seller at the Purchaser’s request uses the Purchaser’s patterns, jigs, tools and/or fixtures, the Purchaser shall pay for replacement or repairs due to normal wear and tear or to their being, in the Seller’s opinion, unsuitable for production of satisfactory Goods.

(h) No right or licence is granted to the Purchaser under any patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property right, except the right to use or resell the Goods (subject to these Conditions).

Except where otherwise agreed in writing, the price is exclusive of costs of packaging, delivery, carriage, insurance, any tax (including VAT) or duties, all of which shall be paid by the Purchaser. The Seller may, by giving notice to the Purchaser at any time up to 14 days before
delivery, increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods that is due to:
(i) any factor beyond the Seller’s control (including foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties and increases in labour, material and other costs);
