1. Formation of Contracts

(a) All contracts of sale made by the Company shall be deemed to incorporate these terms and conditions. No variation of or addition to these terms and conditions shall form part of any contract unless made of specifically accepted by the Company in writing.

(b) These terms and conditions shall override and take the place of any other terms and conditions in any
document or other communication used by the purchaser in concluding the contract with the Company.

(c) No contract shall come into effect until the Purchaser’s order has been accepted in writing by the
company.

(d) The application of the Uniform Laws on International Sales shall be excluded. The construction validity
and performance of all Contracts shall be governed by the laws of England and any claim or dispute arising there from shall be subject to jurisdiction of and be determined by the English Courts.

2. Prices

Unless otherwise expressly stated in writing by the Company orders are accepted on the basis that:
(a) The price stated is the net price of the goods (after deduction of any discounts) for delivery ex works and
unpacked excluding value added or any like tax.

(b) Package and carriage are charged extra at cost.

(c) The Company is entitled without prior notice to adjust the price stated to take account of any change in specification made at the request of the Purchaser or any alteration before the date of delivery in the cost to the Company of import or export duties of tariffs or transport which directly affects the costs to the Company of supplying the goods.

(d) Where applicable value added tax will be added to the price at the rate ruling at the time of delivery.

(e) Unless otherwise confirmed by the Company in writing, where the price is based upon a foreign currency, the price is subject to adjustment with the exchange rate ruling on the date of invoice.

3. Payment
(a) Unless otherwise expressly stated prices are due any payable net cash in United Kingdom sterling 30 days
from the date of invoice and punctual payment is of the essence of the contract.

(b) If the Purchaser shall fail to make payment in full in accordance with sub-paragraph (a) of this Condition
then (without prejudice to any other rights of the Company)

(i) If the customer is in late with payment, we shall be entitled to charge 8% interest p.a. above the Base bank Rate from the due date.

For clarification: For contracts dated on or after 7 August 2002, the late payment interest rate is 8 per cent plus the current reference rate. The reference rate for payments that became overdue between 1 January and 30 June is the Bank of England base rate on 31 December the previous year. For payments that became overdue between 1 July and 31 December, the reference rate is the Bank of England base rate on 30 June that year.

For example:

If the base or reference rate for the six month period when the debt became overdue is 0.5 per cent, then the statutory interest charge is 8.5 per cent (0.5 per cent base/reference rate plus 8 per cent).

The debt is £851.06 plus £148.94 VAT = total £1,000

If this debt is 30 days late, then the interest owed is:

£1,000 x 8.5 per cent = £85 (the annual rate)

£85 / 365 = 23p (the daily rate)

23p x 30 days = £6.90 (the interest owed to date)

VAT will be included in the total value of the invoice you enter.
(ii) The Company shall be entitled to suspend all or any other deliveries to be made under that or any other contract with the Purchaser in such event the Purchaser shall not in any respect be released form its obligations to the Company under that or any other such contract or:
(iii) Instead of suspension in accordance with paragraph (I) above the Company shall be entitled to terminate the relevant contract or any other contract with the Purchaser in accordance with condition 11 below and to claim damages from the Purchaser for breach.
(c) Where carriage, packing or other charges are stated separately from the price they will nevertheless be
payable by the Purchaser at the same time as if they formed part of the price and shall be treated as such.
