below for Terms & Conditions of Sale
1. |
PARTIES |
(i) |
E.P. BARRUS LIMITED (“the Company”) |
(ii) |
THE CUSTOMER which expression shall mean any buyer or potential
buyer of the Company’s products and also any person,
firm, body or company at whose request and/or whose behalf the Company
undertakes any business, or provides advice, information or services (“the
Customer”). Where such Customer act or purports to act as agent he shall
nevertheless be responsible to the Company in accordance with these
Conditions for any liability arising in respect of such business information
or services jointly and severally with his principal. |
2. |
TERMS |
|
Except as otherwise specifically agreed in writing by the
Company, any order accepted by the Company whether or not it is based on or
results from any quotation given by the Company, is deemed only to
incorporate these terms and conditions which shall override and exclude all
other terms, provisions, conditions and warranties representations whether
oral or written express or implied (other than any condition or warranty
implied by English Law the exclusion or restriction of which is prohibited
void or unenforceable thereunder), even if included in or referred to in any
document of the Customer. Any terms or conditions stipulated by a Customer
which are in rejection of, in addition to, or inconsistent with these
Conditions and any others agreed to in writing by the Company shall be deemed
to be a counteroffer to the Company and shall not be binding upon the Company
save as agreed in writing by it. If the Company rejects or does not accept
such counter-offer, then such rejection or
non-acceptance shall be deemed to be a renewed offer to proceed on these
Conditions and any others so agreed by the Company and accordingly
performance by the Company shall in such event be deemed to be so governed. |
3. |
PRICE |
|
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company, the Company
reserves the right to vary the price quoted for products supplied by the
Company (‘the Products’) in accordance with the Company’s prices for Products
ruling on the day of despatch. Unless otherwise stated all prices are
exclusive of Value Added Tax or any other tax applicable to the supply of any
products from time to time. |
4. |
SPECIFICATION AND LIABILITY |
(i) |
In placing an order for Products the
Customer acknowledges that all information regarding weights, measures,
powers, capacities performance and other data relating to products contained
in catalogues, price lists, advertisements and other promotional material
produced by the Company are approximate only and they are intended to present
to the Customer a general guide, the accuracy of which the Customer must test
for himself. The Customer acknowledges that to the best of the Company’s
knowledge and belief the information contained in the said catalogue and
other like material is true and accurate as at the date of the printing of
the catalogues but that no representation of whatsoever nature has been made
to the Customer by the Company or its agents and that the Customer relied
upon his own judgement as to the nature and quality of the Products and their
suitability for the Customer’s purpose. |
(ii) |
On making a claim that any products are defective, the Customer
shall return them or the relevant parts thereof to the Company for inspection
at the Customer’s risks within the time limit stipulated by any applicable
guarantee or warranty or where there are none, no later than twelve months
from the date of original purchase. If the Company is reasonably satisfied
after such inspection that the Products are defective by reason of faulty
materials or workmanship, it will at its discretion either repair the
Products or supply equivalent Products to those agreed to be defective or
will pay the reasonable costs incurred by the Customer in repairing any
defects in the products. If the Products or part of them are found to be
defective the carriage cost of the Customer shall be reimbursed by the
Company, provided that such carriage was of comparable nature to the carriage
originally arranged by the Company and was otherwise reasonably incurred by
the Customer. If after such inspection the Company is not satisfied that the
Products are defective, the Customer shall pay a reasonable charge for such
inspection. The Company shall in no circumstances incur liability under any
of the specific guarantees or warranties given on any Products unless the
relevant guarantee or warranty registration card is sent duly completed to
the Company within the time limit stipulated or referred to in such
guarantees or warranty. For the avoidance of doubt the Customer accepts as
reasonable that the Company shall be under no liability whatsoever if the
total price payable for the Products has not been paid in full by the
Customer and that the total liability of the Company for any Products for
which the Customer has paid in full which are defective shall be limited to
the cost of the replacement or repair or any defective Product or part
thereof and the other necessary and incidental costs relating thereto as
specified in this sub-clause and for no other loss or damage whatsoever
consequential or otherwise relating to any defects in the Products and that
in fixing this limit the Company has had regard to the resources available to
it including insurance cover, to meet any liability. |
(iii) |
Subject as expressly provided in these Conditions all
warranties, conditions or other terms implied by statute or common law are
excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law. |
(iv) |
The liability of the Company pursuant to sub-clause (ii) above shall
not extend to cover Products which are of perishable nature or are generally
known to have a limited life and shall not cover any Products which have been
inadequately maintained, installed or modified or subject to improper use by
the Customer otherwise then strictly in accordance with any written operating
instructions provided by the Company or which have been modified or repaired
by anyone other than the Company or its authorised agent. |
(v) |
Subject to sub-clause (ii) above except in respect of death or
personal injury caused by the Company’s negligence, the Company shall not be
liable for any loss of anticipated profits, damage to the Customer’s
reputation or goodwill, loss of expected future business, loss, damage,
compensation, costs, expenses or any other liability howsoever caused,
whether direct or indirect, consequential or otherwise, and whether suffered
by the Customer or by any third party and any other remedy which would
otherwise be available in law to such parties is hereby excluded except to
the extent that such exclusion is prohibited by any rule of law. |
(vi) |
A claim in relation to any Products in accordance with these
Conditions shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any order, or part
thereof, or to refuse to take delivery of, or withhold payment for those
Products, or any other products (whether under the same or any other order). |
5. |
MODIFICATIONS |
|
The Company reserves the right to make modifications or
improvements in the construction or specification of the Products without
notification to the Customer. |
6. |
PAYMENT |
(i) |
Prices quoted are net unless stated on the invoice to the
contrary. Accounts are due for payment by the 21st day of the month following
the date of invoice (‘the due date’) and any balance unpaid after the due
date shall carry interest at 8% per annum above the base rate of Barclays
Bank Plc. from time to time from the due date. |
(ii) |
Failure by the Customer to comply with any provision hereof or
to make payment in accordance with these conditions, or under any other
agreement between the Customer and the Company shall entitle the Company at
its option to suspend any, or all further supplies to the Customer, or
without prejudice to any other rights it may have under this or any other
agreement to terminate this agreement. |
(iii) |
The Company reserves the right before making any delivery to
require payment in cash or security for payment and if the Customer fails to
comply with such requirement, the Company may terminate the agreement. |
(iv) |
The Company shall be entitled to appropriate any payment made by
the Customer to any outstanding account whatsoever of the Customer with the
Company as the Company may think fit (notwithstanding any purported
appropriation by the Customer). |
(v) |
The Company reserves the right to levy an administration charge
of £40 each time a payment is returned by the customer’s bankers. |
(vi) |
All prices are exclusive of Value Added Tax
and this will be charged at the applicable rate and recoverable as part of
the price by the Company. |
7. |
DELIVERY |
(i) |
Delivery may, at the option of the Company, be made at the
Company’s premises or by the Company’s representatives or by any carrier instructed
by the Company. Any dates given for the delivery are estimated approximate
dates only and unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Company,
time is not of the essence for delivery. The Company will not be liable for
the consequences of any delay in delivery or failure to deliver if the
duration of the delay is not substantial or if the delay is due to Act of
God, fire, inclement or exceptional weather conditions, industrial action
(whether at the Company’s premises or elsewhere), hostilities, shortage of
labour, materials, power or other supplies, late delivery or performance or
non-delivery or non-performance by suppliers or sub-contractors governmental
order or intervention (whether or not having the force of law) or any other
cause whatsoever beyond the Company’s control or of any unexpected or
exceptional delay. |
(ii) |
No delay for whatsoever reason shall entitle the Customer to
reject any delivery or any further instalment or part of any order or other
contract or order from the Customer to the Company or to repudiate any such
order or contract. |
(iii) |
Notwithstanding that title to the Products may not have passed,
the risk in the Products shall pass to the Customer upon delivery. If the
customer fails to take delivery of the Products or fails to give the Company
adequate delivery instructions at the time stated for delivery the risk in
the Products shall pass at the time when the Company has tendered delivery. |
(iv) |
a) Where the Company undertakes to make delivery to the Customer
or its premises the Customer shall be obliged within three days of delivery
of the Product to report in writing to the Company any loss or damage
occurring to the Products. To the extent that any loss or damage is apparent
at the date of delivery the Customer is also obliged to give details of the
loss or damage on any carrier’s delivery sheet. b) In the event of non-delivery of products
the Customer shall notify the Company in writing within fourteen days from
the date of the relevant invoice. c) If the Customer fails to adhere to its obligations in a) or
b) above the Company shall not be responsible for any partial or total loss
or damage or non-delivery of the Products. |
(v) |

Company’s liability shall be limited to making up the delivery or allowing
credit in respect thereof. |

(i) |
The risk in the Products passes to the Customer as in clause 7
hereof. |
(ii) |
Title in all Products supplied or sold under these Conditions
shall be retained by the Company until all sums due on any account whatsoever
from the Customer to the Company have been received by the Company either in
cash or cleared funds. Until such payment the Customer shall keep the
Products separate from those of the customer and third parties and properly stored, protected and identified as the property of the Company
and as bailee on behalf of and in a fiduciary capacity for the Company. If
any indebtedness on any running account between the Company and the Customer
is from time to time reduced to nil this reduction shall not be deemed to
have passed title to any Products still in the possession of the Customer at
the time of any subsequent default in payment by the Customer. |
(iii) |
Pending the sale of the Products and the payment of the purchase
price and the other monies pursuant to clause 8, (ii) above the Customer
shall keep the Products insured in the amount of the price at which the
Products were supplied to the Customer against all insurable risks. |
(iv) |
If the Products are destroyed by an insurable risk prior to the
Customer making payment in full for the Products or any of them, the Customer
shall receive and hold the proceeds of any insurance monies relating to such
Products as trustee for the Company. |
(v) |
On the disposal of the Products by the Customer prior to the
payment in full of the purchase price (which the Customer shall be entitled
to do in the ordinary course of its business as the fiduciary agent of the
Company) the Customer shall be liable to account to the Company for that part
of the proceeds of sale thereof (“the Company’s part of the proceeds”) which
is equivalent to the price at which the same were invoiced by the Company to the
Customer. The Customer shall, as fiduciary agent for the Company, pay the
Company’s part of the proceeds into a separate bank account clearly denoted
as an account containing monies deposited for the benefit of the Company by
the Customer acting in a fiduciary capacity and shall ensure that such
account is never overdrawn. Any such sub-sale by the Customer shall as
between the Customer and the Company be affected by the Customer as agent for
the Company but as between the Customer and the sub-purchaser shall be effected by the Customer as principle. Upon request by the
Company the Customer shall supply the Company with details of any sub-sale
and shall assign to the Company any claim or right of action it may have
against a sub-purchaser. |
(vi) |
If Products the property of the Company are admixed with
products of the Customer or are processed with or incorporated therein the
product thereof shall become and shall be deemed to be the sole and exclusive
property of the Company until all sums due on any account whatsoever from the
Customer to the Company have been received by the Company either in cash or
cleared funds, and shall be kept separate from the Products belonging to the
Customer and third parties and the Company shall be notified of the location
thereof. |
(vii) |
Until such time as the title in the Products passes to the
Customer (and provided the Products have not been resold) the Company shall
be entitled in addition to any and all other rights available to it at any
time to require the Customer to deliver up the Products to the Company and,
if the Customer fails to do so forthwith, to enter upon any premises of the
Customer or any third party where the Products are stored and repossess the
Products and, if the Customer has failed to make payment by due date, also to
sue the Customer for non-payment. |
(viii) |
For a saleable product which is authorised to be returned to the
Company as no longer required, or returned for any other reason not due to
the condition of the Product (including collection by the Company, or its
agents for non-payment), the Company shall be entitled to recover a handling
charge of up to 33% of the invoiced selling price of the units in question,
and up to 50% of the invoiced selling price of the spares in question. |
(ix) |
In the event of the Company and/or the Company’s Agents
recovering possession of any of the Products in the circumstances referred to
in sub-paragraph (vii & viii) above the Company shall be entitled to
resell the Products. |
(x) |
The Customer shall not be entitled to assign pledge or charge by
way of security for any indebtedness any of the Products or any invoice for
the Products which remain the property of the Company, but if the Customer
does so all monies owing by the Customer to the Company shall (without
prejudice or any other right or remedy of the Company) forthwith become due
and payable. |
