2.4. By ordering Deliverables from the Seller, whether in writing (which includes email) or by telephone, the Client is deemed to have accepted these Terms. These Terms apply to and form part of the Contract between the Seller and the Client. These Terms supersede any previously issued terms and conditions of purchase or supply. Nothing in this clause shall affect the validity and/or enforceability of any non-disclosure and/or confidentiality agreement that has been entered into between the parties.

2.5. The Contract is formed when the Seller provides a confirmation e-mail to the Client either expressly accepting the Client’s Order or when the Seller provides a confirmation e-mail following the Client’s written acceptance of a Quotation.

2.6. The Seller (at its sole and absolute discretion and without having to give any reasons) reserves the right to decline to accept and reject any Order for Deliverables submitted to it by the Client.

3.2. All samples, drawings, descriptive matter, Specifications and advertising issued by the Seller and any descriptions or photographs contained on the Seller’s website are published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Deliverables. They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force and this is not (and shall not be construed as) a sale by sample.

The Seller reserves the right to amend the Specification at any time prior to delivery of the Products or performance of the Services, if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

4. DELIVERY

4.1. The Seller shall deliver the Products and/or perform the Services within a reasonable time. Although the Seller will endeavour to deliver the Products and/or perform the Services within the delivery time specified (if any), that time is an estimate and not a term of the Contract. Time is not of the essence in relation to the performance or delivery of the Deliverables. Late delivery or performance does not entitle the Client to terminate the Contract, save as per clause 4.3.

4.2. The Client acknowledges that certain information may be required from the Client before the final version of the Products can be delivered. Any time specified for delivery, will be automatically extended by (and the Seller shall have no liability to the Client in respect of) any period during which the delivery of the Products and/or the performance of the Services by the Seller in connection with the Contract is delayed due to a Force Majeure Event or the Client’s failure to provide the Seller with adequate delivery instructions and/or any other instructions or information that is relevant to the supply of the Products and/or the performance of the Services (as set out in clause 2.7).

4.3. If any such delivery time is extended by more than 6 weeks as a result of a Force Majeure Event then the Client may give written notice to the Seller requiring the Products to be delivered and/or the Services to be performed within 28 days of the date of such notice, failing which the Client may give further written notice terminating the Contract immediately.

4.4. The Seller is entitled to deliver the Products or perform the Services in instalments. Each delivery will be a separate Contract and failure by the Seller to deliver an instalment in accordance with the Contract or any claim by the Client in respect of any one or more instalments will not entitle the Client to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated or to cancel any other instalment.

4.5. The delivery by the Seller of a greater or lesser quantity of the Products than the quantity provided for in the Contract, or the delivery of Products only some of which are defective or of the wrong type, will not entitle the Client to reject all of the Products delivered. The Client’s remedy in such circumstances is set out in clause 4.12.

4.6. All Products and electronics belonging to the Client which are returned to the Client by the Seller shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing, be supplied Ex Works and all terms of delivery are defined in accordance with the International Chamber of Commerce Standards “INCOTERMS 2020”.

4.7. Subject always to clause 4.6, the Seller may arrange for the delivery of the Products to the Client or return the Client’s electronics to the Client.

4.8. The Services shall be:

4.8.1. performed by the Seller at the Location on the date(s) specified in the Order; and

4.8.2. deemed delivered by the Seller only on completion of the performance of the Services at the Location.

4.9. If the Client refuses or fails to take delivery of the Products or fails to give the Seller adequate delivery instructions (otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond the Client’s reasonable control or by reason of the Seller’s fault) then, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to the Seller, the Seller may:

4.9.1. store the Products until actual delivery and charge the Client for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage; or

4.9.2. sell the Products at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to the Client for the excess over the Price under the Contract or charge the Client for any shortfall below the Price under the Contract.

4.10. The Client shall inspect the Products within 7 days of delivery and, in any event, prior to installation/use. Any claim alleging an error in the type or quantity of Products delivered must be made in writing by the Client to the Seller within 7 days of the date of delivery of the Products, and in any event before installation or use of the Products.

4.11. Unless a claim is made in accordance with clause 4.10, the Client will be deemed to have accepted the Products and waived all claims relating to error in quantity or type of the Products delivered and/or damage to the Products in transit.

4.12. Any liability of the Seller:

4.12.1. for failure to deliver the Products within a reasonable time or non-delivery of the Products shall be limited to issuing a credit note against any invoice raised for the Products which have not been delivered. This clause 4.12 shall not apply where the Client fails to accept delivery of any of the Products when they are made available for delivery, or the Seller is unable to deliver the Products on time because the Client has not provided sufficient and appropriate instructions, documents, licences or authorisations; and

4.12.2. in relation to the type or quantity of Products Ordered shall be limited to supplying the additional Products (if there is a shortfall), to removing the additional Products (if there is an excess) or replacing the Products (if the incorrect Products were delivered). This clause 4.12.2, shall not apply where the Client has Ordered the incorrect type or quantity of Products or has not provided sufficient, appropriate and/or accurate instructions/information to the Seller as to the type or quantity of Products required. The Client must arrange a suitable policy of insurance with a reputable insurer against the value of their board or device (and any associated equipment) before the Client’s board or device is sent to the Seller’s premises for diagnostic testing.

5.1.1. the Seller has received payment in full in cleared funds for all the Products the subject of the Contract and the full Price in cleared funds for any other Products supplied by the Seller to the Client under any other Contract otherwise howsoever for which payment has become due, in which case title to the Products shall pass at the time of payment of all such sums;

5.3.3. at no cost to the Seller, store the Products separately from all other Products held by the Client so that they remain readily identifiable as the Seller’s property;

Notwithstanding any written agreed credit period, payment will fall due immediately on the commencement of any act or proceeding relating (in the Seller’s opinion) to the Client’s solvency or upon the occurrence of any event which (in the Seller’s opinion) places in jeopardy the Seller’s title to the Products.

5.6. The Seller may by written notice to the Client transfer ownership in all or any part of the Products specified in the notice to the Client.

5.7. The Client must notify the Seller (in writing) of any notices and/or attempts by third parties to seize or distrain against the Products whilst in the Client’s possession or power and before title has passed to the Client and must notify any such third parties (in writing) of the Seller’s ownership of the Products.

6. PRICE

6.1. A copy of the Seller’s current price list is available on request. Prices in any Quotation are provisional only and are subject to adjustment to take account of increases in the Seller’s costs (e.g. increases in Taxes, in acquisition costs and/or in labour/materials/transport costs) overhead expenses and any exchange rate fluctuation which cause the Seller’s costs to increase or increases in the cost of the Products which arise due to the instructions/information of the Client or the Client’s failure to give the Seller adequate, accurate or complete instructions/information.

6.2. Unless otherwise agreed by the Seller in writing, the Price for the Deliverables shall be exclusive of all Taxes and all costs, fees, licences, duties or charges in relation to packaging, loading, unloading, carriage, transport and insurance, all of which amounts the Client shall pay in addition when it is due to pay for the Deliverables.

If the Client suffers (or appears to the Seller to be about to suffer) a Client Insolvency Event, or the Seller reasonably believes that there is a legitimate reason to doubt the financial stability of the Client, or the Client ceases to carry on business, or stops paying its debts as they fall due, or is in breach of any term or condition of the Contract (including without limitation, a failure to pay any sums due under the Contract) the Seller may without prejudice to its other rights or remedies, postpone delivery both in respect of the Contract in question and any other contracts with the Client until the breach has been rectified and/or (at its option) terminate the Contract (and/or any other such contracts) and recover payment for all deliveries already made and for any expenditure already incurred for the purpose of future deliveries (less any allowance for the value thereof as utilised by the Seller for other purposes) and also recover from the Client a sum equivalent to the Seller’s loss of profit arising out of such termination. The exercise of the Seller’s option to postpone delivery shall not prevent the subsequent exercise of the Seller’s option to terminate the Contract and/or any other such contracts.

16. CANCELLATION

The Contract may be cancelled by the Client only with the Seller’s written consent. In the event of such cancellation the Seller will be entitled to charge the Client a cancellation charge, commensurate with the Seller’s costs incurred up to the date of cancellation plus the Seller’s loss of profit.
