3.1 No order submitted by Buyer shall be deemed to be accepted by Seller unless and until confirmed in Writing by Seller's authorised representative.

3.2 All orders will be subject to a carriage and handling charge unless otherwise specified. Prices for larger export orders are quoted on request.

 

4. Price of the goods

4.1 The price of the Goods shall be Seller's quoted price or, where no price has been quoted (or a quoted price is no longer valid), the price listed in Seller's published price list current at the date of acceptance of the order. All prices quoted are valid for thirty (30) days only or until earlier acceptance by Buyer.

4.2 Seller reserves the right, by giving notice to Buyer at any time before delivery, to increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost to Seller which is due to any factor beyond the control of Seller (such as, without limitation, any foreign exchange fluctuation, currency regulation, alteration of duties, significant increase in the costs of labour, materials or other costs of manufacture), any change in delivery dates, quantities or specifications for the Goods which is requested by Buyer, or any delay caused by any instructions of Buyer or failure of Buyer to give Seller adequate information or instructions.

4.3 The price is exclusive of any applicable value added tax, which Buyer shall be additionally liable to pay to Seller.

 

5. Terms of payment

5.1 Subject to any special terms agreed in Writing, Seller shall be entitled to invoice Buyer for the price of the Goods on or at any time after delivery of the Goods, unless the Goods are to be collected by Buyer or Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Goods, in which event Seller shall be entitled to invoice Buyer for the price at any time after Seller has notified Buyer that the Goods are ready for collection or (as the case may be) Seller has tendered delivery of the Goods.

5.2 Subject to any special terms agreed in Writing Buyer shall pay the price of the Goods within thirty (30) days of the date of Seller's invoice, notwithstanding that delivery may not have taken place and the property in the Goods has not passed to Buyer. The time of payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract. All payments shall be to Endless Ideas BV.

5.3 If Buyer fails to make any payment on the due date then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Seller, Seller shall be entitled to:

5.3.1 cancel the contract or suspend any further deliveries;

5.3.2 appropriate any payment made by Buyer to such of the Goods (or the goods supplied under contract between them) as Seller may think fit (notwithstanding any purported appropriation by Buyer); and

6.3 Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by Seller to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Conditions or any claim by Buyer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle Buyer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.

6.4 If Seller fails to deliver the Goods for any reason other than any cause beyond Seller's reasonable control or Buyer's fault, and Seller is accordingly liable to Buyer, Seller's liability shall be limited to the excess (if any) of the cost to Buyer (in the cheapest available market) of similar goods to replace those not delivered over the price of the Goods.

6.5 In case of non-delivery or shortages, Buyer must notify Seller in writing within ten (10) working days. In case of receipt of damage goods the receipt should be signed DAMAGED and Seller notified in writing immediately BUYER SHOULD REFUSE PARCELS DELIVERED IN A DAMAGED CONDITION.

6.6 If Buyer fails to take delivery of the Goods or fails to give Seller adequate delivery instructions at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of Seller's fault) then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Seller, Seller may:

6.6.1 store the Goods until actual delivery and charge Buyer for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage; or

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

6.7 Buyer shall in no circumstances be entitled to return any Goods without consent of Seller. Upon approval Seller's return authorisation number will be given which must be quoted.

6.8 Goods returned by agreement for credit must be in first class saleable condition complete with all manuals and undamaged original packaging.

7.3 Until such time as the property in the Goods passes to Buyer, Buyer shall hold the Goods as Seller's fiduciary agent and bailee, and keep the Goods separate from those of Buyer and third parties and properly stored, protected and insured and identified as Seller's property.

7.5 Buyer shall not be entitled to pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Goods which remain the property of Seller, but if Buyer does so all money owing by the Buyer to Seller shall (without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Seller) forthwith become due and payable.
