Basis of Sale
-
The Seller's employees and agents may not make representations about the Goods unless
confirmed by the Seller in writing. The Buyer accepts that it does not rely on, and
waives any claim for breach of, representations that are not so confirmed.
-
No variation to these Terms is binding unless agreed in writing between authorised
representatives of the Buyer and the Seller.
-
Sales literature, price lists and other documents are subject to change without notice
and do not amount to offers. No contract is binding unless the Seller issues a quotation
expressed as an offer, or accepts an order, by whichever is the earlier of its written
acceptance, delivery of the Goods, or its invoice.
-
Any typographical, clerical or accidental error in the Seller's documents may be
corrected without liability.
Orders and Specifications
-
No order is accepted until confirmed in writing by the Seller's authorised representative.
-
Specifications are as set out in the Seller's documentation unless varied in the Buyer's
order and accepted in writing by the Seller. Goods are supplied only in the minimum or
multiple units shown in the price list, and orders for other quantities will be
adjusted.
- Illustrations, photographs and descriptions are for guidance only and are not binding.
-
The Seller may change specifications to meet safety or legal requirements, or where the
change does not materially affect quality or performance.
-
Accepted orders may not be cancelled without the Seller's written agreement. The Buyer
shall indemnify the Seller against all resulting losses and costs.
Price
-
Prices are those in the Seller's current price list at the date of acceptance, unless
otherwise agreed in writing.
-
Quoted prices (other than those in the price list) are valid for 30 days unless stated
otherwise.
-
The Seller may, by notice before delivery, increase prices to reflect cost increases
beyond its control, changes requested by the Buyer, or delays caused by the Buyer.
- Quantity discounts may apply in line with the Seller's current price list.
-
Settlement discounts, if offered, apply only where payment is made on or before the due
date and no other sums are overdue.
- Unless otherwise agreed, prices include packaging and transport.
-
Prices are exclusive of VAT and any applicable taxes or duties, which the Buyer shall
pay in addition.
Payment
- The Seller shall invoice the Buyer on or after delivery. If the Buyer fails to collect
or take delivery, the Seller may still invoice after giving notice that the Goods are
ready.
-
Payment is due within 30 Business Days of the invoice date unless otherwise agreed in
writing. Time of payment is of the essence.
- Payment shall be made to the Seller as stated on the invoice.
-
If the Seller is not satisfied with the Buyer's creditworthiness, it may withdraw credit
terms and require immediate payment.
Delivery
-
Delivery is made to the location in the Buyer's order and confirmed by the Seller, or
otherwise by collection from the Seller's premises.
- Delivery dates are approximate. Time is not of the essence unless expressly agreed.
-
Instalment deliveries are treated as separate contracts. Failure or delay in one
instalment does not entitle the Buyer to cancel the whole.
-
If the Buyer fails to take delivery or give instructions, risk passes to the Buyer,
delivery is treated as complete, and the Buyer shall pay storage and insurance costs.
Non-Delivery
If the Seller fails to deliver, other than for reasons outside its control or the Buyer's fault:
- where delivery occurs within a reasonable time afterwards, the Seller has no liability; and
-
where the Buyer gives notice within 5 Business Days of the Delivery Date and the Seller
still does not deliver within 10 Business Days of that notice, the Buyer may cancel the
order. Liability is limited to the excess, if any, of the cost of replacement goods over
the agreed price.
Inspection and Shortage
- The Buyer shall inspect the Goods on delivery or collection.
- Where inspection is not possible, delivery notes shall be marked "not examined".
- Claims for damage or shortage must be notified within 5 Business Days of delivery.
- Goods must not be used, altered or modified before inspection by the Seller.
- Subject to the above, the Seller shall make good shortages or replace Goods damaged in transit, but shall have no further liability.
Risk and Retention of Title
-
Risk passes to the Buyer on collection (once the Goods are ready and notified to the
Buyer), or on delivery (or, if delivery is refused, when the Goods are tendered).
-
Title remains with the Seller until payment is received in full for all Goods supplied
and all other sums owed.
- Until title passes, the Buyer holds the Goods as bailee, stores them separately, and insures them.
- The Goods may not be pledged or charged. If they are, all sums owed become immediately payable.
- The Seller may repossess the Goods at any time, and the Buyer authorises access to its premises for this purpose.
- The Buyer's right to possession ends immediately if it breaches these Terms, enters insolvency, or ceases to trade.
Assignment
- The Seller may assign or transfer its rights and obligations under these Terms without consent.
- The Buyer may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations without the Seller's written consent.
Defective Goods
-
Defects must be notified within 5 Business Days of delivery. The Seller may, at its
option, replace the Goods within 10 Business Days or refund the price.
- Returns require the Seller's prior written consent.
-
Returns of newly launched products are allowed within 3 months of delivery, at the
Buyer's cost and risk.
-
The Seller is not liable for defects arising from misuse, neglect or unauthorised
alteration.
- Except where consumer law applies, all implied terms are excluded.
- The Seller is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit or goodwill.
-
The Buyer shall comply with statutory requirements when using or reselling the Goods,
and shall indemnify the Seller for losses arising from any failure to do so.
Buyer's Default
-
If the Buyer fails to pay on time, the Seller may cancel or suspend deliveries, apply
payments as it sees fit, and charge interest at 4% above Barclays Bank base rate until
payment is received in full.
-
This also applies if the Buyer breaches its obligations, enters insolvency, has assets
seized, ceases to trade, or where the Seller reasonably believes such events are
imminent.
-
In those circumstances the Seller may cancel orders or suspend deliveries, and all sums
become immediately due.
Limitation of Liability
-
Subject to the Payment, Delivery and Defective Goods clauses, the Seller's liability
covers breaches of these Terms, the use or resale of the Goods, and negligence or
misrepresentation connected with the sale.
- Except as required by law, all implied terms are excluded.
-
Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for death, personal injury, fraud or any other
liability that cannot be excluded by law.
-
The Seller's liability is capped at the price of the Goods concerned, and it is not
liable for loss of profit, goodwill, business or any consequential loss.
Confidentiality, Publications and Endorsements
- The Buyer shall treat all the Seller's business information as confidential.
- The Buyer shall not use the Seller's names, marks or logos without written consent.
- The Buyer shall ensure its employees and agents comply with these obligations.
- These obligations continue after the business relationship ends.
Communications
- All notices must be in writing.
-
Notices are treated as delivered on delivery if sent by courier during business hours;
when confirmed received if sent by email; after 2 Business Days if sent by first-class
UK post; and after 5 Business Days if sent by airmail.
- Notices must be sent to the last notified address or email.
Force Majeure
Neither Party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including
power or internet failures, strikes, civil unrest, fire, flood, storms, pandemics,
terrorism, war, government action, or import and export restrictions. Obligations are
suspended for the duration of the event, and both Parties shall make reasonable efforts to
resume performance.
Waiver
Any failure or delay in enforcing rights under these Terms is not a waiver of those rights,
or of any later breach.
Severance
If any provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be severed and the
remaining Terms shall continue in force.
Third Party Rights
A person who is not a party to these Terms has no right to enforce them under the Contracts
(Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999.
Law and Jurisdiction
-
These Terms, including any non-contractual obligations, are governed by the laws of
England and Wales.
-
The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising
under these Terms.
Because wood is a natural product, the following points apply to all flooring we supply.
Samples and Images
Wood is a natural material. Variations in colour, tone, grain, knots and other natural
features are to be expected and are not defects. Samples are indicative only and are not a
guarantee of an exact match with the product delivered.
Batch Differences
Wood flooring can vary slightly between production batches. We strongly recommend ordering
all the quantity you need for a project in a single purchase to keep it consistent. We
accept no responsibility for differences where additional or later orders are placed.
Acclimatisation
All flooring must be acclimatised on site in line with industry best practice before
installation. It is the responsibility of the Buyer or installer to make sure conditions are
suitable, including temperature, humidity and ventilation. Failure to follow acclimatisation
guidance may void any guarantee or claim.
Storage
Once delivered, the products become the Buyer's responsibility. Flooring must be stored in a
clean, dry and temperature-stable place, away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat
sources. We accept no liability for damage or deterioration caused by improper storage or
handling after delivery.
