Note: Supply Instability

Ongoing geopolitical events and sanctions are having unpredictable impacts on energy and raw material supplies beyond the control of the Company or the Company's supply chain. Per our existing Force Majeure terms, the Seller shall be relieved of all liabilities wherever and to the extent to which the fulfilment of its obligations is prevented, frustrated or impeded by or as a consequence of the actions of any Government, war, conflict, or act of foreign hostilities whether or not war has been declared. The Company will be entitled to an adjustment of contract price in any such circumstances.


Pricing

All prices shown on the Company’s price list, or on quotations offered by them, are based upon the acceptance of these conditions. Any variation of these conditions requested by the Buyer could result in changes in the offered pricing or refusal to supply. The Company reserves the right to withdraw, withold or amend its pricing at any time. All quoted pricing is in Pounds Sterling and is exclusive of VAT and delivery unless stated. In addition to the invoiced value the Buyer is liable for all import duty as may be applicable in the Buyer’s location. If there is any documentation required for import formalities, whether or not for the purposes of duty assessment, the Buyer shall make this clear at the time of order. All quotations supplied by the Company are subject to confirmation following a site survey by one of its engineers. The Seller may in some cases agree to exclude this site survey, in which case the Buyer accepts liability for any issues, delays or costs incurred whatsoever relating to incorrect or unprovided site information including but not limited to room dimensions, material specifications, site access requirements, or obstructions.


Delivery

All delivery times offered by the Company are to be treated as best estimates and no penalty can be accepted for non compliance with them. The standard estimation of delivery terms is 4 weeks to 8 weeks from acceptance of order, approval of relevant drawings or resolution of any technical issues, whichever is the later. Delivery shall be made by the Company using either its own transport or a courier service of its choice. Unless specified on the quotation then the cost of the delivery will be added to the invoice issued. If multiple deliveries are requested by the Buyer, multiple delivery charges will be made.

If requested at the time of ordering, and agreed by the Company, an alternative delivery service can be used; but only if account details are supplied to the Company so that the delivery can be invoiced directly to the Buyer by the delivery service. In this instance the Company passes all risk at the time of collection and assumes no responsibility for the agreed delivery service.
