- The "Customer" means the client
with whom the Company contracts.
- The "Product" means all plant to

entered into between the Purchaser and the Company.
- "Delivery" means the date at which

2. These
Conditions contain the entire obligations between the Company
and the Customer and in the case of any inconsistency between
any letter or quotation incorporating or referring to these
Conditions and any order, letter or form of contract sent
by the Customer to the Company whatever may be their respective
dates, the provisions of these Conditions shall prevail. No
variation of these Conditions shall be binding unless made
in writing and signed on behalf of the company. If in any
particular case any of these Conditions shall not be valid
or shall be held not to apply to the contract the other Conditions
shall continue in full force and effect.
3. No order
or other contract may be cancelled or varied except by written
agreement with the company and on such terms as to increase
the price or otherwise, as the company may stipulate.
4. Notwithstanding
that the Company may have given a detailed quotation, such
quotation is not binding and can be changed by the Company,
so that no order shall be binding on to the Company unless
it has been confirmed in writing by the Company.
5. Every
quotation or tender is open for acceptance in writing within
thirty days from its date, and is subject to confirmation
by the Company upon receipt of acceptance, provided that it
shall be deemed to have been confirmed by the Company if not
expressly withdrawn by notice to the Customer within ten days
from the receipt of such acceptance.
6. Where
no price has been fixed or agreed at the time of acceptance
of the order, the price shall be that current at the time
of delivery or completion of the work as may be appropriate.
Where a price has been quoted, this is provisional only, and
may be increased to cover any increase in cost that may take
place between the date of the quotation or the completion
of the works.
7. The date
for delivery shall be the date on which the products are despatched
from
the Company's premises, and all times and all dates given
for delivery are in good faith but without any responsibility
on the part of the Company. Time shall not be of the essence
of any contract nor shall the company be under any liability
for delay in delivery whether occasioned by the negligence
of the company or any other circumstances whatsoever, whether
or not beyond the company's reasonable control, unless
otherwise expressly agreed in writing at or before the date
of the order, in which case the Company's liability shall
be limited to such liquidated damages as may be specifically
agreed. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing
any delay in the delivery of any instalments of products shall
not entitle the Customer to refuse any subsequent instalment
or otherwise repudiate the contract. The right is reserved
by the Company to deliver and invoice part shipment of goods
against any order unless specific instructions to the contrary
have been given to the Company.
8. Quotations
for repair work are made on the basis of a preliminary examination
of the goods to be repaired. To ensure a satisfactory repair,
it is frequently necessary to replace parts which, on first
inspection, appear to be re-useable and /or carry out additional
work to that originally quoted for. The Company therefore
reserves the right to invoice repair work on the basis of
ascertained cost. If, following receipt of a
quotation for the repair of goods , the Company decides not
to proceed, the Company reserves the right to charge for dismantling
and inspection. In the event that the contract is terminated
or repudiated, due to factors not attributable to the Company,
then the Customer will reimburse the Company for outstanding
costs to date, plus a reasonable allowance for profit and
overhead, plus all reasonable demobilisation and cancellation
charges incurred by the Contractor. If within 21 days from
receipt of the quotation for the repair of goods the Customer
does not give any instructions, the Company will not thereafter
accept any liability for loss or damage to any of the Customer's
property remaining in its hands.
9. Site Services
The Customer will provide reasonable use
(free of charge) of such site services as are necessary for
the Company to undertake the Works. Such services will include,
as a minimum, electrical power, potable water, compressed
air and use of sanitary facilities. The customer will provide
a site area, inclusive of vehicle parking, as close as is
reasonably practical to the work area.
10. Details,
drawings, specifications, dimensions and other descriptions
issued by the Company in connection with the products are
intended to be accurate but shall not import into the contract
any condition or warranty in this respect. Furthermore, no
statement, description, information or warranty, condition
or recommendation contained in any catalogue, price list,
advertisement or communication or made verbally by any agent
or employee of the Customer shall be construed to enlarge,
vary or override in any way these conditions. The Company
makes no warranty or representation in
respect of performance figures, or suitability or fitness
of products for any particular application or purpose. The
Company will not accept any liability whatsoever, whether
for damages or otherwise if the product is not capable of
carrying out the particular function for which the Customer
has bought the product. Therefore before placing an order
with the Company for any product, the Customer must ensure
that the particulars and specifications of the particular
product satisfy his requirements and are capable of carrying
out the particular function for which the product has been
bought.
11. The
Customer agrees to pay for any loss or extra cost incurred
by the Company through the Customer's instructions or lack
of instructions or through failure or delay in taking delivery
or through any act or default on behalf of the customer, its
servants, agents or employees.
12. Payment
is due thirty days after the date of the invoice or as stated
in the Company's quotation or the Company's official acknowledgement.
The invoice may be rendered either after delivery or on completion
of the goods comprised in any order and after the scheduled
delivery date.
13. Risk
in all products shall be deemed to pass upon despatch from
the Company's premises. Where the Customer collects or arranges
collection of the Goods from the Company premises, entry of
any vehicle of the Customer's or its agent on to the Company
premises shall be at the sole risk of the Customer or its
agent save to the extent that any claim arises from the Company's
negligence, resulting in personal injury or death.
