Prices and payment 1. The Price shall be as stipulated in the Seller’s published price list current at the date of order of the Products. In any event of any increase in the cost to the Seller of raw materials, labour, overheads, or any increase in taxes or duties, or any variation in exchange rate the Seller may increase the Price payable under the contract upon written notice.

Notice of cancellation must be received in writing by the seller within seven days of delivery of the notice of price increase to the buyer. 2. Payment of 50% of the Price shall be due at the date of the order being placed with the balance being due upon your order being despatched from our warehouse. Time for payment shall be of the essence. If the Buyer does not pay the Price on notification of dispatch of the goods the Seller may bring an action for the Price even though property in the Products has not been passed to the Buyer. If the Buyer fails to make payment as required the Seller may suspend delivery of the Products or any further Products ordered until payment is made in full. 3.

The products 1. The quantity and description of the Products shall be as set out in the Seller’s order confirmation. 2. The Seller may make any changes in the specification of the Products which do not materially affect their quality or performance required to conform with any applicable statutory requirements where the Products are supplied to the Seller’s specification. 3. Photographs are for illustrative purpose only, and may not exactly match the product itself, particularly with regard to fittings, handles, locks, etc. 4.

Except where the Buyer acts as a Consumer all other warranties, conditions and terms relating to fitness for purpose, satisfactory quality or conditions of the products whether implied by statute or common law or otherwise are excluded to the fullest extent of the law. 5. Insofar as is permitted by law, our only liability to you under these terms and conditions will be, at our sole discretion, to make good any shortage or non-delivery, to replace or repair any goods which are received by you in a damaged or defective state or to refund to you any sums actually paid by you for the goods in question. We will not be liable to you for any indirect or consequential loss or damage arising out of any problem you notify to us and will have no liability to you for any failure or delay in delivering goods or any damage or defect in goods delivered which is caused by any event or circumstance which is beyond our reasonable control. Nothing in this Clause 5 affects your statutory rights as a consumer. Delivery, Returns and Cancellations 1. Delivery of the products shall be made by the Seller or his agent notifying the Buyer that the products are available for collection at the Sellers premises or for delivery to such place as the Buyer may specify at the time the order is placed. 2.

All orders for delivery to addresses within mainland GB that exceed a total value of £1000 are delivered free of charge, except to certain remote postcodes where there will be a small additional charge which will be advised prior to order confirmation. 5. For delivery to Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Scottish Islands and Channel Islands we will deliver free to a nominated mainland GB address if the order value exceeds £1000 and is not in a post code where additional charges apply e.g. a port. Onward shipping from that point is the responsibility of the customer unless prior arrangement is made and confirmed in writing by the Seller with such confirmation outlining any additional costs that this service may incurred that will be met by the Buyer. 6. Unless agreed by the Seller, where an order contains more than one item all items will be delivered at the same time once all items are available. 7. Where a delivery date has been agreed with our carrier but the Buyer isn’t present to receive the delivery we reserve the right to charge the customer a minimum of £25 to cover part of the cost of the failed delivery. 8. An order may be cancelled at any time between the placement of the order and 7 working days following delivery of the goods. 9. If the Buyer is dissatisfied with his purchase for any reason he may, within 7 working days of delivery, inform the Seller’s customer service department in writing to arrange for collection of the goods at the Buyer’s expense. Any money which you have paid will be refunded within 30 days less the cost of returning the goods, provided that the Seller receives the goods in the same condition they were in at the time of delivery to you in their original packaging or similar. Items which are not adequately packaged at time of collection will not be collected and a charge of at least £25 will be levied to cover cost of failed collection.  10. Delivery is defined as to the street door of the designated premises, any further movement of goods onto the buyers premises is entirely at the buyers own risk. Acceptance of products 1.

After acceptance the Buyer shall not be entitled to reject Products which are not in accordance with the contract. Title and risk 1.
