2.1. The terms and conditions set out in this document ('Terms') apply to all sales of goods by us, other than customised, personalised or bespoke goods, ('Products'), through whatever sales channel (excluding Ebay and Amazon), to the exclusion of any terms and conditions of the customer, save to the extent that any variation is agreed in writing by one of our directors.

2.2. Our Privacy Policy governs the way in which we collect and process your personal data and is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

3.1. You may order products listed in our current main catalogue and/or on our Website, for supply at a later time, by telephone, post, facsimile, email, through our Website, in person through one of our sales representatives or in one of our stores. In doing so, you will be accepting our offer to supply the Products ordered subject to these Terms. No offer will have been open to you for acceptance if we have notified you that we will not accept you orders. An order which contradicts any of these Terms shall not constitute a valid acceptance. You may also purchase products for immediate supply (subject to stock) in one of our stores, in which case, a contract will come into existence between us when the sale is concluded. Contracts made with us in any of these ways are referred to as 'Contracts' below.

3.2. All Contracts are between us and the person, partnership or corporation names as the customer as the time of ordering ('Customer').

Except in the case of condition 4, the term 'you' is used in these Terms to refer to the Customer.

3.3. Notwithstanding any other condition, we may cancel a Contract at any time without being required to give you a reason, including without limit in circumstances in which you are in arrears in relation to payment for any goods previously supplied by us. Such a cancellation will be without liability to you, save that we will refund the price of any goods not supplied where this has been paid to us (after setting off any sums owed to us in relation to any account of the Customer).

3.4. Please note that in the event where a duplicate or amendment required for either a statement or invoice a £25 charge will be applicable.

You personally warrant by placing an order with us that you are authorised to enter into a legally binding contract with us on behalf of the Customer.

5.1. Where Products are ordered for supply at a later time, by whatever means:

• 5.1.1. The quantity of Products to be purchased will be as set out in your order; and
• 5.1.2. sales will be by description not sample.

For standard products, the description of the products to supplied shall be as set out in our current main catalogue or on our website at the time the contract is formed.

5.2. The products will comply with the description, save that the products delivered may differ as to colour and any dimensions provided are approximately only. Products may also differ from the same or similar products at a different time.

6.1. Except where Products are for immediate supply in one of our stores, delivery shall be made:

• 6.1.1. to one of our stores for collection by you or your courier;
• 6.1.2. by our courier at your delivery address(es);

6.2 Any dates specified by us for delivery of Products are intended to be an estimate and time shall not be of the essence or be capable of being made of the essence in relation to delivery. In addition, we shall be entitled to suspend our obligation to deliver Products, in the event that, any account of the Customer is in arrears. Your sole remedy in the event of delay in or failure to deliver (for whatever reason, even if caused by our negligence) shall be the right to terminate the Contract after more than 30 days have elapsed since the estimated delivery date (or the date of the Contract, where no delivery date was specified) without delivery having been effected (excluding any periods of suspension as aforesaid), save that you may not terminate as aforesaid if you have agreed to accept delivery at a later date.

6.3 Where you require Products to be delivered to one delivery address on the island of Great Britain (excluding parts of Scotland) and the value of the order is over £149.00 + VAT, no extra charge above the contract price will be made for delivery. Where Products are to be delivered to multiple addresses, delivery charges will be payable. Where delivery charges are payable, these will be notified to you at the time you place your order or as soon as possible afterwards. If you do not wish to accept delivery charges notified to you after the Contract is formed, you may cancel the Contract by refusing to confirm acceptance of the charges within 14 days.

6.4 We reserve the right to make delivery by instalments and to invoice for each instalment separately

6.5 Where the goods are to be delivered otherwise than at our (your) premises, we undertake only to deliver to the ground floor entrance of the required delivery address and during the hours of 8.00am and 5.00pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays in England).

You are advised, and will be given the opportunity, to check the suitability and quality of all Products to be shipped internationally prior to despatch.

6.10 Time shall be of the essence of your obligation to collect or accept delivery (as the case may be). If you fail to do so, we may, without prejudice to our other rights and remedies, terminate the Contract or store the Products (at your cost) pending delivery being made. We may also elect to treat the Products as having been delivered and if collection from our premises has not occurred within 30 days of notification to you to collect, we may dispose of them as we in our absolute discretion consider fit.

We also reserve the right to claim compensation under the Late Payment of Commercial Debt Regulations 2002 in connection with each unpaid invoice.

9.3 We will usually grant the facility of a credit account, subject to status, but remain entitled to refuse, withdraw or reduce any such facility where we in our absolute discretion consider fit without giving any reason. If you do not hold or have exceeded/will exceed the amount of your credit account, we will require payment in full before shipment and we will submit our invoice immediately after the Contract is made.

10.1 Where we are not the manufacturer of the Products to be supplied, we shall use our reasonable endeavours to transfer to you the benefit of any warranty or guarantee given to us by our supplier.
