Shipping policy

DELIVERY

  • 8.1 Delivery or dispatch dates mentioned in any Quotation, Order Acknowledgement or elsewhere are approximate only and not of any contractual effect. The Seller is not liable to the Buyer for failure to deliver on a particular date or dates. Time for delivery is not of the essence of a Contract and shall not be made so by service of any notice. If no delivery dates are specified, delivery shall be within a reasonable time.
  • 8.2 Delivery shall be at the delivery address specified on the Order Acknowledgement unless otherwise agreed by the Seller in writing.
  • 8.3 The Buyer shall provide at the point of delivery and at its expense adequate and appropriate equipment and manual labour for unloading the Goods. The Buyer is solely responsible for unloading the Goods at the point of delivery. The Buyer shall indemnify the Seller against each loss, liability and cost arising as a result of the Seller or its subcontractors assisting the Buyer in the unloading or other removal of the Goods from the point of delivery.
  • 8.4 Subject to the other provisions of these Conditions, the Seller shall not be liable for any failure to deliver on a particular date nor shall any delay entitle the Buyer to terminate or rescind a Contract unless such delay exceeds 60 days.
  • 8.5 If for any reason the Buyer refuses or fails to take delivery of any of the Goods when they are ready for delivery or fails to take any action necessary on its part for delivery of the Goods, the Seller is entitled to terminate the Contract with immediate effect, to dispose of the Goods as the Seller may determine and to recover from the Buyer any loss or additional costs incurred as a result of such refusal or failure (including storage costs from the due date of delivery).
  • 8.6 The quantity of any consignment of Goods as recorded by the Seller upon dispatch from the Seller’s premises shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity received by the Buyer on delivery unless the Buyer can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary.
  • 8.7 The Seller may effect delivery of the Goods in one or more instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid for in accordance with the provisions of the Contract. Each instalment shall be treated as a separate Contract and no cancellation or termination of any one Contract relating to an instalment shall entitle the Buyer to repudiate or cancel any other Contract or instalment.
  • 8.8 The Buyer shall inspect and test the Goods immediately upon receipt and in any event prior to applying any process to, using, amending, treating or otherwise changing the Goods. In the event that the Buyer fails to inspect and test the Goods in accordance with this Condition 8.8 then, notwithstanding any other terms in these Conditions, the Seller shall be under no liability to the Buyer in respect of any defect whatsoever in the Goods.
