We reserve the right to re-price any goods or services if supply or delivery is unable to be completed within 2 months of the customer accepting the quote or confirming an order, whichever is earlier (Including delays due to an event or circumstance that was not foreseeable and beyond our reasonable control). Delivery of all goods will be deemed to be completed upon collection of the goods by you, or delivery of the goods to your nominated delivery address or carrier (as applicable).  A nominated delivery address must have good, unrestricted, and safe access for large trucks.

Risk in respect of all goods passes to you when delivery of the goods is deemed to have been completed.  Ownership of all goods remains with us until payment is received in full in respect of those goods. While under our ownership, our representatives may enter the premises where the goods are stored at any time and remove them. We will not be responsible for any loss, damage or costs which arise as a result of such entry and repossession. We may resell the goods to recover any outstanding debt owed by you.

We will only accept returns of goods that are part of our usual stock and readily sold and not custom made, and only if the goods are in the same repair and condition as when supplied and the customer will pay for the return of those goods. All returns must be made within seven days of delivery or as agreed in writing.

5. TERMS OF PAYMENT AND PRICES

The balance of payments are to be paid or charged on account upon the goods being collected or despatched for delivery (if we are delivering your products). This payment is required within 2 months of the purchase date irrespective of delivery date.

Any variation to these payment terms must be agreed in writing by both parties. Errors or omissions made by us in any pricing, quoting or invoicing are subject to correction by us. Without prejudice to any other rights, we may set off any debts or liabilities of you to us against any monies payable by us to you.

We are entitled to recover from you all legal, client-solicitor and other costs incurred by us arising from the collection of the outstanding amount owing, or late payment, non-payment or other breach of these terms by you.  In the event of payment not being made by the due date we shall be entitled to (without prejudice to any other right or remedy) suspend or terminate the contract (without prejudice to any party’s rights or liabilities which accrued prior to suspension or termination) or take steps as we consider necessary to recover outstanding amounts.
