No variation to these Conditions shall be binding unless agreed in writing between the authorised representatives of the Company and the Customer.

The Company’s employees or agents are not authorised to make any representations concerning the Goods unless confirmed by the Company in writing. In entering into the Contract the Customer acknowledges that it does not rely on and waives any claim for breach of any such representations which are not so confirmed.

Any recommendation or opinion given by the Company or its employees or agents to the Customer or its’ employees or agents as to the storage, application or use of the Goods which is not confirmed in Writing by the Company is followed or acted upon entirely at the Customer’s own risk and so the Company shall not be liable for any such recommendation or opinion which is not so confirmed.

The quantity, quality and description of the Goods shall be those given in the Company’s quotation or confirmation if accepted by the Customer.

The Company reserves the right to make any changes in the specification of the Goods which are required to conform with any applicable safety or other statutory requirements or which do not materially affect the quality or performance of the Goods.

No order which has been accepted by the Company may be cancelled by the Customer except with the agreement in Writing of the Company and on terms that the Customer shall indemnify the Company in full against all loss (including loss of profit), costs, damages, charges and expenses incurred by the Company as a result of cancellation.

All prices quoted are valid for a maximum of 28 days only or until earlier acceptance by the Customer after which time they may be altered by the Company without giving notice to the Customer.

The Company reserves the right by giving notice to the Customer at any time before delivery to increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost to the Company which is due to any factor beyond the control of the Company (such as without limitation any foreign exchange fluctuation, currency regulation, alteration of duties, a significant increase in the price charged to the Company by its supplier for the Goods which is requested by the Customer or any delay caused by instructions of the Customer or failure of the Customer to give the Company adequate information or instructions).

Except as otherwise stated under the terms of any quotation or any price list of the Company and unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the Customer all prices include the costs of normal packaging but exclude the cost of delivery and commissioning (where commissioning is applicable).

Time for delivery shall not be of the essence of the Contract. The Goods may be delivered by the Company in advance of the quoted delivery date upon giving reasonable notice to the Customer.

Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalments each delivery shall constitute a separate Contract and failure by the Company to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Conditions or any claim by the Customer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Customer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any Goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:

14 days after we receive back from you any goods supplied or
(if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods or
if there were no Goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement.

you will have to bear the direct cost of returning the Goods. The cost is estimated at approximately GBP 25.
you are only liable for any diminished value of the Goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods

If you requested to begin the performance of Services during the Cancellation Period, you shall pay us an amount which is in proportion to what has been performed until you have communicated us your cancellation from the Contract, in comparison with the full coverage of the Contract.
