Terms & Conditons
1. General
We undertake to remedy any defect that develops under proper use within the 12-month guarantee period, where such defect is due to faulty material, design, or workmanship. This guarantee is conditional upon immediate notification and the prompt return of the defective apparatus or part(s) to our Works.
Defective items will be repaired or replaced as quickly as possible and returned free of charge within the United Kingdom, or FOB British Port for export shipments.
The 12-month guarantee period begins on the date of despatch from our Works, or, if despatch is delayed for reasons beyond our control, from the date we notify you that the apparatus is ready for despatch. Apparatus or machinery supplied by us but not manufactured by us is covered only by the subcontractor’s guarantee.
2. Acceptance
Unless previously withdrawn, our quotations and tenders remain open for acceptance for 30 days from the date of issue. Acceptance is subject to our confirmation at the time of order acknowledgement.
Quotations and tenders include only the apparatus and machinery specifically listed.
3. Despatch
Despatch dates are provided on the understanding that all necessary information to commence manufacture has been received.
Despatch undertakings do not constitute a contractual obligation unless expressly confirmed by us in writing and are subject to delays caused by industrial disputes, insufficient instructions, or any cause beyond our reasonable control.
While we will endeavour to ensure timely despatch of apparatus or machinery not of our manufacture, we cannot accept contractual responsibility for such items.
4. Delivery
All prices quoted for apparatus, machinery, and spare parts are ex-works.
Delivery within the UK, and packing and delivery FOB British Port for export shipments, will be charged at cost.
5. Pricing
Prices for apparatus manufactured by us are firm for the duration of the quoted despatch period.
For despatch periods extending beyond those quoted, we reserve the right to adjust invoice prices in line with increased material and manufacturing costs. Apparatus or machinery not of our manufacture is priced on the same basis.
6. Payment
Invoice prices are net and not subject to early-payment discounts. Compliance with our stated payment terms is a condition of the guarantee.
Ownership of apparatus and machinery supplied by us remains with us until payment in full has been received. During the period between delivery and full payment, the purchaser is responsible for satisfactory storage and insurance of the goods at their full value in our name.
If the apparatus or machinery is incorporated into plant, machinery, or goods by the purchaser before payment is made, we retain ownership rights and may claim a charge over the resulting plant, machinery, goods, or the proceeds of sale.
7. Performance
Performance data provided by us represents expected results under test conditions. We accept no liability for performance unless specific guarantees, within recognised tolerances, have been given in writing.
Our liability is limited to the provisions of these Conditions and does not extend to direct or indirect consequential damages, nor to repair or replacement costs incurred without our prior authority.
Any legal interpretation of this contract shall be in accordance with English law.
