1. Application of Conditions: subject to any express variation agreed by us with you in writing, the contract between us in respect of any order from you (whether written or verbal) and any acceptance by us (the “Contract”) shall be based on these Conditions to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions. You confirm that you have not relied upon any statement, promise or representation made or given by us that is not set out in the Contract.
2. Quotations and Orders: any quotation from us to you in respect of Equipment is valid for a period of thirty days and is an invitation by us to you to place an order for the supply by us of Equipment as set out in such quotation subject always to these Conditions. Nothing in the quotation or this Contract guarantees the availability of any Equipment for which a quotation is provided nor does it require us to accept any order from you. We may, at our absolute discretion, prior to the acceptance by us of any order from you in respect of the Equipment for which a quotation is provided sell the Equipment to a third party. All prices quoted in a currency other than Pounds Sterling are converted from Pounds Sterling to the relevant currency at the exchange rate current on the date of the quotation (the exchange rate to be used is at our absolute discretion). We reserve the right to adjust any quotation stated in a currency other than Pounds Sterling in the event that the exchange rate used for the quotation changes plus or minus 2 percent during the thirty day validity period of the quotation.
3. Price and Title: the price for the Equipment shall be the total amount as shown on the face of the Contract invoice and any applicable value added tax chargeable thereon and any other sums that may be chargeable under these Conditions (the “Price”). The items included in the Price are as detailed in either any quotation delivered by us to you or on the face of the Contract invoice. In the event of any conflict the information on the face of the Contract invoice shall take precedence. Until the Price has been paid in full, title to and property in the Equipment, shall remain with us and you shall hold the Equipment for our benefit and on our behalf and insure the Equipment at your own expense for its full replacement value and keep the Equipment separate in a safe place and in the same condition and label it as our property. We shall be entitled at any time to recover and sell the Equipment and accordingly you agree to return the Equipment to us on our giving you notice. Our rights and remedies under this clause are in addition to and shall not prejudice or otherwise restrict the exercise by us of any other rights and remedies that we may have under the Contract including, without limitation, bringing legal proceedings to recover the Price.
4. Payment: payment of the Price shall be made by you to us in the amount and currency shown on the face of the Contract invoice and shall be paid in full in cleared funds prior to delivery of the Equipment. Time of payment for any part of the Price under the Contract is of the essence. Payment may be by cheque, credit or debit card (subject to a service charge of 3.5% of the Price) or by bank transfer (without deduction of your bank charges which are to be paid by you) to the relevant bank account specified in the Contract invoice. Payment shall not be deemed to be made until we are in receipt of cleared funds.
5. Late Payment: should you fail to pay us any sum due pursuant to the Contract, you shall be liable to pay interest to us on such sum from the date due for payment (being 30 days from the date of the Contract invoice) at the annual rate of 3% above the base lending rate from time to time of Lloyds TSB Bank Plc, accruing on a daily basis until payment is made, whether before or after any judgment.
