For the trade buyer, any other terms or representations, whether implied by statute,
made prior to, collateral with or subsequent to the contract or order are hereby
excluded and shall not be binding upon the company. For the consumer buyer, representations
shall only be binding upon the company if confirmed within the order form or
other acknowledgement from the Company.
8. Brochure descriptions and colour reproductions therein,
Web Site information, representations and artwork on display are indicative only
and any specifications, origins, measurements and technical data have been prepared
by artists and are for guidance only. Buyers are therefore required to check

or clerical errors in any order without notice. In addition, the buyer shall
ensure that all details contained within the order are correct prior to submission
to the Company. Subsequent to delivery, the Company shall accept no liability

LIMITATIONS UPON LIABILITY
10. For trade buyers, the company is hereby excluded
from any liability, howsoever arising, in respect of any express or implied condition,
warranty or term, statement, representation whether statutory or otherwise, relating
to the goods supplied. The trade buyer accepts that he is best placed to insure
against losses which arise by virtue of any breach of this agreement and warrants
that he carries adequate insurance in this respect.
11. Where goods purchased by the buyer are alleged to
be defective, the purchaser agrees to return such goods to the seller for inspection
and report (without the seller replacing the said goods prior to such inspection).
The purchaser also accepts that it is reasonable to inform the seller of any
interruption, defect or other failure prior to contacting independent third parties
or incurring expense and, in addition, to allow the seller to remedy the defect,
failure or interruption. Goods modified or adapted by the purchaser shall no
longer be warranted by the manufacturer.
12. Where goods are defective, incorrectly supplied,
delayed or otherwise in breach of the implied terms of the buyers’ statutory
rights, all losses that directly result therefrom are excluded and shall not
be reclaimable from the Company. In addition, the company shall accept no liability
for death or personal injury unless caused directly by the Companies own negligence.
13. The company accepts no liability in respect of failure
to supply or other interruptions caused by matters beyond the reasonable control
of the company, including but without limitation, strikes, lockouts, civil disputes,
acts of God, war or actions by third parties.
14. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
nothing in this Agreement shall confer a benefit on any person or persons not
named as the purchaser herein (for the purposes of the Contract (Rights of Third
Parties) Act 1999 or for any other purpose).
PAYMENT TERMS
15. Quotations are given on the assumption that no variation
in the price will be made by the manufacturer/sole importer and that Government
levies remain unaltered. In the event of such changes, the trade buyer shall
be liable for the full cost of any change without notice from the Company. A
Consumer Buyer shall be contacted by the Company and consent for any price increase
obtained. Where no such consent is obtained, the Consumer Buyers agreement to
purchase shall be treated as cancelled. Buyers are hereby informed that calling
down of smaller quantities of material than ordered may increase the overall
price per unit, there being reduced economies of scale in order. The resultant
additional cost shall be the buyers.
TITLE AND DELIVERY
16. Ownership or Title to the product shall not pass
to the buyer until the company has received payment in full. In the event that
sums owing in respect of other items ordered remain due, apportionment by this
company shall take place without prejudice to the right to retain title or ownership
in respect of all goods ordered.
17. Delivery times will be quoted at time of order and
all times given for despatch or delivery are approximate and time shall not be
of the essence. The buyer agrees to give 20 days in any written notice making
time of the essence, such notice to commence subsequent to the last time for
delivery quoted by the Company. The Buyer further agrees to accept full liability
in respect of delayed or late delivery or dispatch prior to the expiry of any
such notice. In respect of special order goods, the buyer acknowledges that further
delays may occur and allows the company 30 days in any written notice, such notice
to commence subsequent to the last time for delivery quoted by the Company. In
any event, delivery times are approximate and variable. When delivery is effected
to the purchaser directly or to an independent delivery contractor as agent for
the purchaser, risk shall pass to the buyer immediately.
18. The Buyer is required to notify the company, in writing,
of any shortage, misdelivery or other discrepancy immediately, or at the latest
within seven days of such shortage, misdelivery or failure, thereafter the buyer
shall be liable for any such discrepancy. Where delivery is effected to the buyers
own independent delivery contractor, loss or damage in transit claims should
be made directly to the carrier. The company will assist purchasers in making
their claim. Buyers should retain all packaging in the event of a claim or return
within the terms of this agreement.
19. Delivery and packing prices indicated within the
Companies Brochures and Internet Site are subject to change and will be confirmed
at the time of order. Buyers outside the United Kingdom and Europe shall be quoted
approximate prices for delivery and packing prior to order confirmation. If required
the Company shall quote for delivery and packing in such instances and confirmation
of acceptance shall be required from the Buyer prior to acceptance of order.

buyer's sole expense.
28. If the Consumer Buyer fails to return the goods
in accordance with clause 26 within 7 days of the cancellation of the contract,

and to recover any reasonable costs involved in such collection from the consumer
buyer.
29. The Company shall then affect a refund of any monies

clause 27.

all actions, claims, demands, penalties and cost brought by or incurred by
