2. Basis of contract 
   • Please follow the onscreen prompts to place an order. The Order constitutes an offer by the Customer to purchase Goods and/or Services in accordance with these Conditions.
   • The order process allows the Customer to check and amend any errors before submitting the Order. The Customer should check the Order carefully before confirming it. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the Order is complete and accurate.
   • After the Customer places an Order, the Customer will receive an email from the Supplier acknowledging that it has received it, but please note that this does not mean that the Order has been accepted. The Supplier will confirm its acceptance to you by sending you the invoice for your order (Invoice Confirmation). The Contract will only be formed when the Supplier sends the Invoice Confirmation to the Customer or, if earlier, the Goods are delivered and/or the Services are supplied, at which point and on which date the Contract shall come into existence.
   • If the Supplier is unable to supply the Customer with the Goods for any reason, the Supplier will inform the Customer of this by email and will not process your order. If the Customer has already paid for the Goods, the Supplier will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.
   • Any catalogues, brochures, samples, drawings, descriptive matter, advertising, web pages or marketing materials issued by the Supplier and any descriptions or illustrations of the Goods and/or Services contained in the Supplier's catalogues, brochures, website or other media are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods and/or Services described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force. Although the Supplier has made every effort to display the colours accurately, the Supplier cannot guarantee that the Customer’s computer's display of the colours accurately reflect the colour of the Goods. The colour of the Goods may vary slightly from those images.
   • These Conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.
   • Any quotation given by the Supplier shall not constitute an offer, and is only valid for a period of 30 days from its date of issue.
   • All of these Conditions shall apply to the supply of both Goods and Services except where application to one or the other is specified.
3. Goods
   • Subject to clause 2.3, the Goods are described in the Supplier's catalogue and marketing information.
   • The Customer shall indemnify the Supplier against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal costs (calculated on a full indemnity basis) and all other professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by the Supplier arising out of or in connection with any claim made against the Supplier for actual or alleged infringement of a third party's intellectual property rights arising out of or in connection with the Supplier's use of the specification of any Goods. This clause 2 shall survive termination of the Contract.
   • The Goods may vary in non-material respects from those in the Supplier’s site, catalogue and/or marketing information. The packaging of the Goods may vary from those in the Supplier’s site, catalogue and/or marketing information.

   • Delivery of the Goods shall be completed on the arrival of the Goods at the Delivery Location, at which point the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods.
   • Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. The Supplier shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer's failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
   • If the Supplier fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the price of the Goods. The Supplier shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer's failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions for the Goods or any relevant instruction related to the supply of the Goods.
   • If the Customer fails to take delivery of the Goods within three Business Days of the Supplier notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready, then except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or by the Supplier's failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract in respect of the Goods:
     • delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the third Business Day following the day on which the Supplier notified the Customer that the Goods were ready; and
     • the Supplier may resell part of, or all the Goods and after deducting any reasonable storage and selling costs, account to you for any excess over the price of the Goods or charge you for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.
   • If five Business Days after the Supplier notified the Customer that the Goods were ready for delivery the Customer has not taken delivery of them, the Supplier may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, account to the Customer for any excess over the price of the Goods or charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.
   • If the Supplier delivers up to and including 5% more or less than the quantity of Goods ordered the Customer may not reject them, but on receipt of notice from the Customer that the wrong quantity of Goods was delivered, the Supplier shall make a pro rata adjustment to the invoice for the Goods.
   • The Supplier 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 Customer to cancel any other instalment.

   • If the Customer orders Goods from our site for delivery to a country outside the UK, the Order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination. The Supplier has no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount.
   • The Customer will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact the local customs office for further information before placing your order.
   • The Customer must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Goods are destined. The Supplier will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law.
