This clause 5 shall only apply if the Customer is purchasing the Goods as a Consumer.
As the Goods supplied by the Company are made to the Customer’s specification, the Customer has no right to cancel the Contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
Subject to clauses 10.1 and 11, if the Company fails to comply with these Terms and Conditions, it is responsible for loss or damage the Customer suffers that is a foreseeable result of it breaking this Contract or its failing to use reasonable care and skill, but it is not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable.

The Company is under a legal duty to supply Goods that are in conformity with the Contract. The box below summarises the Customer’s key legal rights in relation to the Goods. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions will affect the Customer’s legal rights. Summary of your key legal rights

This is a summary of the Customer’s key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected life of the Customer’s good its legal rights entitle it to the following:

-up to 30 days: if the Customer’s item is faulty, then it can get a refund.

-up to six months: if the Customer’s faulty item can’t be repaired or replaced, then it is entitled to a full refund, in most cases.

-up to six years: if the item can be expected to last up to six years the Customer may be entitled to a repair or replacement, or, if that doesn’t work, some of its money back.

If the Customer wishes to exercise its legal rights to reject Goods, as specified in the above box, it must either return them in person to where it bought them, post them back to the Company or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow the Company to collect them from it. The Company will pay the costs of postage or collection. The Customer should call customer services on +44-1233-732-013, or by writing to it at [email protected] to arrange collection.

7. Delivery

Goods will be delivered by the Company to the place stated in the Order.
Where dates have been quoted for delivery these are for guidance only and the Company does not warrant that delivery will take place on these or any other specified dates. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence of the Contract. Whilst the Company shall use its best endeavours to deliver the Goods in accordance with any specified delivery dates, delivery may be delayed due to circumstances beyond its control, including, without limitation:
a. delays in the delivery of the Goods to the Company by its supplier;
b. rejection of defective or faulty Goods delivered to the Company by its supplier;
c. amendments to the Specification by the Customer; or
d. fire or flooding at the Company’s supplier’s premises,
and in such circumstances, the Company shall have no liability to the Customer whatsoever for late delivery.
If the Customer is purchasing Goods as a Consumer, in the event of substantial delay it may contact the Company to end the Contract and receive a refund for any Goods that it has paid for but not received.
Goods may be delivered in advance of a quoted delivery date upon giving reasonable notice to the Customer.
Where Goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by the Company to delivery any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Terms and 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 cancelled.

If the customer fails to take delivery of the Goods or fails to give the Company adequate delivery instructions then without prejudice to any of the other of the Company’s rights or remedies the Company may:
a. Store the Goods until actual delivery and charge the Customer for the reasonable costs of storage and any further delivery costs; or
b. Sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and after deducting all reasonable storage and selling costs account to the customer for any excess over the Company’s price for the Goods or charge the Customer for any shortfall below the Company’s price; or
c. Otherwise dispose of the Goods and charge the Customer the reasonable cost of disposal.

8. Risk and Title

This clause 8 shall apply where the Customer is purchasing Goods as a business.
Risk of damage or loss of goods shall pass to the Customer when off-loading the Goods from the Company’s transport or on loading the Goods onto the Customer’s own transport by the company at the place of manufacture. The Customer shall insure at its own expense, on behalf of the company, the Goods to their full value.

9. Claims Notification

This clause 9 shall apply where the Customer is purchasing Goods as a business.
It is the duty of the Customer to inspect all Goods immediately on delivery.
Any claim for non-delivery of any Goods shall be notified by the Customer to the Company within 7 days of the date on which the Goods should have been delivered.

Any claim that any Goods have been delivered damaged or Goods are defective shall be notified by the Customer to the Company within seven days of the Goods delivery which the Customer agrees is a reasonable period in which to discover such damage and defect in the Goods.
Unless the Company receives notification of non-delivery or damaged or defective Goods in accordance with the above conditions, it shall be entitled to treat the Contract as completed in accordance with its advice note or notes accompanying delivery of the Goods and accordingly the Company shall not be liable for any shortage damage or non-performance or defect in the Goods.
Any claim under the above conditions must be in writing and contain full details of the claim including any identifying batch or production numbers of any allegedly defective Goods.
Any claim made by the Customer under the Contract shall not entitle the Customer to return the Goods to the Company but rather the Company shall be afforded reasonable opportunities and facilities to investigate any claim made under this condition at the Customer’s place of business if it should so elect. The Customer shall if so requested in writing by the Company promptly return any Goods which are the subject of any claim together with any packing securely packed and carriage paid to the Company for examination and such Goods shall remain at the risk of the Customer.
In the event of any examinations or investigations carried out by the Company or allegedly defective goods revealing no defect for which the Company is liable then the Company shall not be liable for damage caused to or incurred by the Goods as a result of such examinations or investigations and all costs of such examinations or investigations shall be borne by the Customer.
The Company shall have no liability with regard to any claim in respect of which the Customer has not complied with the provisions of this clause.

10. Warranties and Liabilities

d. any description, designs, illustrations, specifications, drawings and particulars of sizes and measurements submitted by the Company or contained in any pamphlets, quotations, catalogues, brochures and price lists of the Company since they are merely indented to represent a general idea of the goods and not to form part of the Contract or be treated as representations;
e. any information, recommendations, statements or advice furnished by the Company, its servants or agents not given in Writing in response to a specific written request from the Customer before the Contract is made; or
f. any variations in the quantities of any Goods or changes in their specification or design or substitution of any materials if the variations or changes or substitution does not materially affect the characteristics of the Goods and the substituted material or specification is of a quality equal to or superior to that originally specified.

Clauses 10.3 to 10.10 below shall only be applicable to the extent that the Customer is purchasing Goods as a business.
Because the potential losses which the Customer might suffer as a result of any breach of Contract by the Company are more easily ascertainable by the Customer AND because such losses could be wholly disproportionate to the Contract Price AND so that the Company can keep the Contract Price as low as reasonably possible THE CUSTOMER AGREES with the Company limiting its liability in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and/or any Guarantee.
The Company shall have no liability to the Customer (other than liability for death or personal injury resulting from the Company’s negligence) for any loss or damage of any nature arising from any breach of any express or implied warranty or condition of the Contract or any negligence breach of statutory or other duty on the part of the Company in any other way out of or in connection with the performance or purported performance of or failure to perform the Contract except in accordance with this condition.
The Company undertakes to repair or at the sole option of the Company replace within one year from the date of delivery of the Goods any item manufactured by the Company which forms part of the Goods and which proves defective within one year from the date of delivery of the Goods.
If the Customer establishes that any Goods have not been delivered, have been delivered damaged, are not of the correct quality or the Goods do not comply with the Order for the Goods or are defective the Company shall at its option replace with similar goods any Goods which are missing, lost or damaged or do not comply with the said order or allow the Customer credit for their invoice value or the cost of repair of any damaged Goods.
The delivery of any repaired or replacement Goods shall be at the Company’s premises or other delivery point specified for the original Goods.
Where the Company is liable in accordance with this Condition in respect of only some or part of the instalment of the Goods the Contract shall remain in full force and effect in respect of the other or other parts of the instalment of the Goods and no set-off or other claim shall be made by the Customer against or in respect of such other or other part of the instalment of the Goods.
Under no circumstances shall the Company be liable for any claim made by the Customers for consequential, indirect or economic loss or damage.
Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing under no circumstances whatsoever shall the liability to the Company to the Customer under or in connection with matters arising from the Contract howsoever arising exceed the Contract Price (except in the case of liability for death or personal injury resulting from the Company’s negligence).
