The usage of the site is strictly subject to the website terms of use and to the Privacy Policy.

All orders made by the buyer through the site, and all orders accepted by the seller through the site, are subject only to these e-commerce terms and conditions of e-commerce sale transactions. Accordingly, these e-commerce Terms and conditions apply to the exclusion of any other terms and conditions which are applicable to sales and purchases of products made outside the site between the seller or its affiliates and the buyer or its affiliates.

No other Terms and conditions will apply to the supply of products ordered through the site unless otherwise expressly agreed by the seller in writing and where it is expressly stated that the amendment is agreed for the purposes of these e-commerce Terms and conditions.

These E-Commerce Terms and Conditions are primarily designed for usage by Business Customers.

2.YOUR STATUS:

(a) The Site is primarily intended for use by Business Customers. If, however, the Buyer is purchasing Products as a Consumer, its attention is drawn to certain provisions (including Sections 3(f), 4(a)(2), 4(b)(2), 8(b), 8(d), 8(e) and 19) marked with an asterisk (“*”) which are designed to reflect the enhanced rights for purchases by Consumers. Your attention is also drawn to the right of all Buyers under the 14 day ‘No Fault Returns Policy’ in subsection 3(e) and to the ‘LIMITED WARRANTIES’ in Section 10. By placing an Order through the Site, the Buyer warrants and undertakes that:

(i) it is acting as principal;
(ii) it is an entity established in the United Kingdom or, if not an entity, permanently resident in the United Kingdom;
(iii) it has the requisite power/capacity (as applicable) and authority to accept these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions , the relevant Order and the Acceptance Confirmation as the basis of the Contract, to enter into the Contract and to perform its obligations under the Contract;
(iv) it will at all times comply with the Website Terms of Use and Applicable Policies as in force from time to time; and
(v) it will at all times comply with the Contract and all applicable rules, laws or ordinances in the performance of its obligations under the Contract and its purchase of the Products, including but not limited to the payment of applicable taxes, duties and levies.

The Buyer acknowledges that, unless it is an Existing Customer, when the Buyer first places an Order on the Site, it will be asked to confirm its status as either a Business User or a Consumer. The Buyer agrees to provide a true and accurate description of its status to reflect the capacity in which it is placing an Order through the Site.

(b) Status of Existing Customer. The Buyer acknowledges that it must be an Existing Customer at the time of the Acceptance Confirmation being issued in respect of that Buyer’s Order.

Only where previously specifically approved and consented to by the Seller in writing, will an Existing Customer have access to the Special Payment Terms for Products forming part of the Contract entered into; in all other cases, Payment by Card must be made prior to the issuance of the Acceptance Confirmation.

Without prejudicing the Seller’s discretion to decline to issue an Acceptance Confirmation in any given case, the Buyer acknowledges that no Acceptance Confirmation will be issued to it in circumstances where it is not an Existing Customer (for example, where the Buyer has failed the Seller’s vetting process detailed in (c) below).

(c) Registering the Buyer to the ERP System as an Existing Customer. Where the Buyer is not an Existing Customer at the time it places an Order, by accepting these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions and placing an Order on the Site, the Buyer consents to the Seller creating a new customer account for it on the Seller’s ERP System and acknowledges that acceptance of any Order shall be in the Seller’s sole discretion. As part of this process, the Buyer will confirm to the Seller whether it is making purchases on the Site in the capacity as a Business Customer or as a Consumer under Section 2 ‘YOUR STATUS’ and provide the Seller with such evidence of its capacity as the Seller may reasonably request. Furthermore, the Buyer consents to the Seller conducting its vetting and know-your-client checks on the Buyer and, if successfully completed to the Seller’s satisfaction, to the Seller creating an online e-commerce account in such Buyer’s name. All information provided by the Buyer will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and in accordance with the terms of the Seller’s Privacy Policy (see Section

16 ‘DATA SECURITY’).

(d) Website Terms of Use and Applicable Policies. The usage of the Site is strictly subject to the Website Terms of Use and to the other Applicable Policies. You must therefore read these when accessing the Site and when seeking to place any Orders through the Site.

3. CONTRACT FORMATION:

(a) Contract Terms. If you purchase Products from the Site, these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions shall apply to the sale and purchase. By accessing the Site and proceeding to the checkout with an Order, the Buyer acknowledges and accepts these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions and agrees that such E-Commerce Terms and Conditions will apply to any Contract formed with the Seller.

Accordingly, these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to the exclusion of any other terms and conditions which are applicable to sales and purchases of Products made outside the Site between the Seller or its affiliates and the Buyer or its affiliates.

The Buyer also agrees that, in respect of any Contract formed, these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions supersede any additional or other terms and conditions contained in any other communication between the Seller (or any of its affiliates, representatives or agents) and the Buyer (or any of its affiliates, representatives or agents) in respect of the respective Order from the Site. Accordingly, no agreement or understanding, oral or written, purporting to modify these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions shall be binding on the Seller unless it is made in writing, specifically stating that it is a modification of these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions and it is signed by the Seller’s authorized representative. No course of dealing, usage of trade, or course of performance shall be relevant to explain or supplement any of these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions . Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the Seller agrees with the Buyer in writing that different Incoterms shall apply to a Contract formed under these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions, this shall be confirmed by the Seller as set out in subsection 8(a) ‘Applicable Incoterm’.

Fulfilment of the Buyer’s Order does not constitute acceptance of any of the Buyer’s own terms and conditions and does not modify or amend these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions.

The Seller shall be entitled to update and/or amend these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions from time to time and, as of the moment of uploading such updated or amended E-Commerce Terms and Conditions to the Site, the revised E-Commerce Terms and Conditions shall apply to all dealings on the Site between the Seller and the Buyer. The Buyer should therefore check these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions every time it uses the Site to ensure it understands the terms that apply at that time.

(b) Orders. The Buyer’s Order placed through the Site is an offer to buy the Product(s) in the respective Order. The Buyer is deemed to have made such an offer by placing an Order with the Seller via the online checkout process on the Site.

After placing an Order, the Buyer will receive an automated e-mail from the Seller acknowledging receipt of the Buyer’s Order and containing an Order reference number and details of the Product(s) ordered (“Order Receipt Acknowledgement”). Please note that neither the taking of payment for the Order nor the issuance of an Order Receipt Acknowledgement (or any other automated e-mail prior to the issuance of an Order Receipt Acknowledgement) nor any delay in issuing an Order Receipt Acknowledgement shall constitute acceptance of the Buyer’s Order nor the conclusion of the Contract.

All Orders via the Site shall be subject to these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions, whether or not the Order Receipt Acknowledgement, any Acceptance Confirmation or any Delivery Dispatch Note so states.

(c) Acceptance. No Buyer Order shall be binding on the Seller until accepted in writing by the Seller, and the Seller shall have no liability to the Buyer with respect to Orders that are not accepted.

All Orders are therefore subject to acceptance by the Seller. The earlier of: (i) the sending by the Seller to the Buyer of an e-mail confirming that the Order has been accepted (being the ”Acceptance Confirmation”); or (ii) delivery to the Seller’s carrier against an Order where the delivery packaging contains a hard copy delivery dispatch note from the Seller (being the “Delivery Dispatch Note”) shall be deemed to constitute the Seller’s written acceptance thereof, subject to these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions. Subject to, amongst other things, completion by the Seller of its vetting and know-your-client checks on the Buyer, the Seller shall seek (but without obligation) to send any Acceptance Confirmation which it chooses in its sole discretion to issue within 72 hours of receiving the Buyer’s Order.

Accordingly, only upon such acceptance under (i) or (ii) of the preceding paragraph, will a Contract arise between the Buyer and the Seller in relation to the respective Order and then only to the extent specified in the next sentence. Such Contract will relate only to those Products the Seller has specifically confirmed and identified in the Acceptance Confirmation or Delivery Dispatch Note (as applicable) which may be all or part of the Buyer’s Order; accordingly the Seller will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of the Buyer’s Order until the Seller has confirmed acceptance of the Buyer’s Order for those other Products within a separate Acceptance Confirmation and/or Delivery Dispatch Note.

(d) Cancellation or Change by Buyer. Orders accepted by the Seller may not be cancelled or modified by the Buyer except:

(i) in accordance with the Returns Policy under (e) below; or
(ii) otherwise with the prior written consent of the Seller.

In the event an Acceptance Confirmation and/or Delivery Dispatch Note have been sent to the Buyer, the Buyer may not change its Order unless the Seller accepts in writing any change(s) requested by the Buyer (whereby the Seller reserves the right to revise the price and delivery schedule).

(e) No Fault Returns Policy. In order for a Buyer to be eligible for a refund on an undamaged Product, the Buyer must return the Product to the Seller within 14 days of delivery by the Seller’s carrier to the Buyer’s Destination Address (the “Return Period”). To return a Product during the Return Period, the Buyer should contact the Seller’s sales team (whose details are set out in the automated e-mail from the Seller attaching the Order Receipt Acknowledgement) to obtain a return merchandise authorisation number. The Product must be returned in the same condition as it was received by the Buyer and (subject to subsection 3(f) below applicable to Buyers which are Consumers only) must be undamaged. Subject to subsection 3(f) ‘Remedies for loss or damage to Products in the case of Consumers only’ in respect of Consumers, if the product is damaged or the Buyer has initiated the return after expiry of the Return Period, the Buyer will not be eligible for a refund. When packing the Product, the Buyer should re-use the packing material supplied for delivery to ensure safe transportation. If the Buyer requires the Seller to arrange collection from a location in the United Kingdom, they should contact the Seller’s sales team (whose details are set out in the e-mail from the Seller attaching the Order Receipt Acknowledgement ) who will confirm details and charges. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller, all transportation costs for the return of a Product to the Seller shall be borne by, and be for the sole account of, the Buyer. Where agreed in writing by the Seller, the Seller may reimburse the Buyer for transportation costs relating to the return of a Product to the Seller. For the avoidance of doubt and unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller, the Buyer is responsible for arranging any returns from locations outside of the United Kingdom.

After the Seller receives the Product, the Seller will carry out an inspection to confirm it is in good condition and undamaged before processing the Buyer’s return. The Buyer’s money will be refunded to it using the original payment method used for the purchase, whether Payment by Card or Payment by ERP. For credit card payments it may take 5 to 10 business days for a refund to appear on the Buyer’s credit card statement.

All products supplied by the Seller are covered by the Seller’s 12 month warranty (see Section 10 ’LIMITED WARRANTIES’) and the Buyer should therefore also review Section 10 carefully in this context so that it has a fuller understanding of its rights to return Products. If a warranty claim is found to be false following an investigation then the Buyer will be liable for the collection and delivery charges associated with the claim.

This Returns Policy does not affect the Buyer’s statutory rights to the extent these cannot be excluded by law.

(f) * Special Rights for Consumers in case of loss or damage to Products in course of transit

The following special rights are also available to a Buyer which is a Consumer in case a Product is lost or damaged between the time of delivery to the Seller’s carrier and delivery to the Buyer’s Destination Address (or the earlier taking of physical possession of the Product by the Buyer or its agent):

(1) Lost Products: Unless the Seller agrees in writing with the Buyer that the Seller shall replace such Product, if a Product is lost (whether due to theft or otherwise) after the time of delivery to the Seller’s carrier but prior to the time of delivery to the Buyer’s Destination Address (or, if earlier, the time of the Buyer or its agent taking physical possession of the Product), a Buyer who is a Consumer shall be entitled to a refund of the price paid by it for the Product. In order to be eligible for a refund under this subsection 3(f)(1), the Buyer must request a refund of the price paid by it in writing within 90 days of the Acceptance Confirmation;

(1) Damaged Products: Unless the Seller agrees in writing with the Buyer that the Seller shall repair or replace such Product, if a Product is damaged after the time of delivery to the Seller’s carrier but prior to the time of delivery to the Buyer’s Destination Address (or, if earlier, the time of the Buyer or its agent taking physical possession of the Product), a Buyer who is a Consumer shall be entitled to a refund of the price paid by it for the Product subject to fulfilment of the requirements of this subsection 3(f)(2).

In order to be eligible for a refund under this subsection 3(f)(2), the Buyer must do the following within 30 clear days after delivery of the damaged Product to the Buyer’s Destination Address (or, if earlier, the time of the Buyer or its agent taking physical possession of the Product): (i) request a refund of the price paid by it in writing; and (ii) return the damaged Product together with photographic evidence of the damage, a confirmation in writing that such damage was present on delivery to it and a reasonable explanation of the damage identified. When packing the damaged Product for return to the Seller, the Buyer should re-use the packing material supplied (to the extent feasible) for delivery to ensure safe transportation. If the Buyer requires the Seller to arrange collection from a location in the United Kingdom, they should contact the Seller’s sales team (whose details are set out in the e-mail from the Seller attaching the Order Receipt Acknowledgement) who will confirm details and charges. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller, all transportation costs for the return of a Product to the Seller shall be borne by, and be for the sole account of, the Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt and unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller, the Buyer is responsible for arranging any returns from locations outside of the United Kingdom. For the purposes of this (2), the expression “clear days” excludes the day of delivery of the Product to the Buyer’s Destination Address or, if applicable, the earlier day on which the Product enters the physical possession of the Buyer or its agent.

Subject to the Seller being satisfied as to the validity of any claim under (1) or (2) and except as otherwise agreed, the Seller will refund any money due to the Buyer under this subsection 3(f) using the method of Payment by Card selected by the Buyer, being either the credit or debit card used for the purchase or via PayPal. For credit card payments it may take 5 to 10 business days for a refund to appear on the Buyer’s credit card statement. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any refund it receives under this section shall be in full and final settlement and fulfilment of the Seller’s obligations under the Contract.

(g) Cancellation by Seller. Notwithstanding any indication given on the Site, all Orders are accepted subject to availability. Most Products displayed at the Site are available. In some cases, Products displayed for sale at the Site may not be available for supply by the Seller. In the event that an Order cannot be accepted for reason of non-availability of stock, the Buyer’s Order may be cancelled by the Seller without liability on the Seller’s part. As stock becomes available any Order re-submitted will be subject to the price and the E-Commerce Terms and Conditions pertaining at the time of such re-submission.

(h) Seller’s right to refuse an Order. The Seller may refuse to accept the Buyer’s Order in its sole discretion and without liability on the Seller’s part, including (without limitation): (i) where the Product is not available; (ii) where the Seller cannot obtain authorisation for the Buyer’s payment (see Section 4 ‘PRICE; PRICE CHANGES’); (iii) if there has been a pricing or Product description error (see Section 4 ‘PRICE; PRICE CHANGES’); (iv) where the Buyer fails the Seller’s vetting and know-your-client process and checks for being registered on the ERP System and/or for an online e-commerce account; (v) if the Buyer does not meet the eligibility criteria set out in Section 2 ‘YOUR STATUS’; or (vi) if the Seller determines that proceeding to accept the Order and/or proceeding to implement any provision of the resultant Contract may result in a breach by either Seller or Buyer of any applicable laws, rules or regulations and/or in a contravention by the Seller of any non-legally binding guidelines or recommendations issued by any governmental body (see also Section 9 ‘EXCUSABLE DELAYS; FORCE MAJEURE’). Where the Seller exercises its right under this Section 3(g), it shall notify the Buyer of its determination.

(i) Seller’s Rights of Termination. Without prejudice to the other rights of the Seller (whether arising under these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions, at law or otherwise) to terminate any Contract, the Buyer acknowledges the Seller’s rights of termination set out in Section 9 ‘EXCUSABLE DELAYS; FORCE MAJEURE’ and in Section 24 ‘LAWS’.

(j) Determination by the Seller to refuse an Order or terminate a Contract. The Seller shall notify the Buyer in writing of a determination under subsections 3(h) ‘Seller’s right to refuse an Order’ or 3(i) ‘Seller’s Rights of Termination’ above to either refuse any Order or terminate any Contract, as soon as practicably possible following such a determination. In the event that an Order is refused or a Contract is terminated in accordance with these Sections, the Seller will reimburse any payments received by the Seller from the Buyer, subject to deductions for any costs or expenses incurred by the Seller in relation to the Order or the Contract

4. PRICE; PRICE CHANGES:

(a) Price. The price of Products and, if applicable, Software (“Offerings”) sold pursuant to the Contract shall be as quoted on the Site from time to time. The prices quoted on the Site for Offerings include the Seller’s standard packaging and assumes CPT 2020 Incoterms are applied.

Furthermore, the prices:

(1) exclude the cost of arranging insurance cover for loss (whether by theft or otherwise) or damage to the Product from the point when the Product is delivered to the Seller’s carrier for onward transportation to the Buyer’s Destination Address which shall be the sole responsibility of the Buyer and no such insurance cover will be provided by the Seller.

BUSINESS CUSTOMERS: Title and risk to Products passes to Business Customers upon delivery to the Seller’s carrier and it shall be the sole responsibility of Business Customers, at their own cost, to arrange their own insurance cover for any eventual loss or damage to the Product from such point.

* CONSUMERS ONLY: A Buyer which is a Consumer shall not be required to arrange insurance cover under this subsection 4(a)(2) for loss or damage to the Products during transportation of the Products by the Seller’s carrier to the Destination Address. Consumers should note the provisions of subsections 8(d) ‘Title Transfer’ and 8(e) ‘Risk of Loss/Damage’, pursuant to which the risk of loss (whether by theft or otherwise) or damage shall only transfer to the Consumer upon the earlier of (i) delivery of the Products to the Destination Address; or (ii) the date on which the Buyer or its agent takes physical possession of the Products.

If the Seller has agreed in writing with the Buyer in accordance with subsection 8(a) ‘Applicable Incoterms’ that alternative Incoterms are to be applied, additional delivery charges and/or other charges may be added and will be set out in the Acceptance Confirmation or separately agreed in writing by the Seller.

Prices are exclusive of amounts in respect of value added or similar taxes and the Buyer shall pay the Seller all additional amounts in respect of such taxes.

Published prices are for the Seller’s current Offerings, and are based on, in the case of Products, current standard design and construction from standard materials.

The Seller reserves the right at any time, without notice and without incurring any liability, to discontinue and withdraw any Offerings from sale, to make changes in the design of Offerings, and/or to add improvements to Offerings. The Seller reserves the right to discontinue any price advances, discounts, extras and other terms and conditions related to price without notice.

Whilst prices are liable to change at any time, the changes will not affect Products forming part of any Order in respect of which the Seller has already sent the Buyer an Order Receipt Acknowledgement.

Price at the checkout is based on delivery in accordance with Incoterms CPT 2020 under Section 8 ’DELIVERY; TITLE TRANSFER; RISK OF LOSS/DAMAGE’ below; if the Seller has agreed in writing with the Buyer in accordance with subsection 8(a) ‘Applicable Incoterms’ that alternative Incoterms are to be applied, additional delivery charges and/or other charges may be added and these will be set out in the Acceptance Confirmation or separately notified in writing by the Seller.

(b) Price Changes.

(1) The Site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite the Seller’s best efforts, some the Products listed on the Site may be incorrectly priced. The Seller will normally verify prices as part of its Order Receipt Acknowledgement process so that, where a Product’s correct price is less than the price displayed on the Site, the Seller will charge the Buyer the lower amount. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on the Site, the Seller will normally, at its discretion, either contact the Buyer for instructions before dispatching the Product or reject the Buyer’s Order and notify them of such rejection.

(2) BUSINESS CUSTOMERS ONLY: In response to the following changes increasing the Seller’s costs, effective upon notice from the Seller to the Buyer, the Seller may change unilaterally the price applicable to a Contract between the parties: (a) changes in the Buyer’s shipment arrangements from CPT 2020 as envisaged in subsection 8(a) ‘Applicable Incoterms’ and other Buyer requests to which the Seller agrees in writing (whether agreed by the Seller during check-out or otherwise agreed by the Seller in writing); (b) changes in freight rates and other transportation related expenses, where the Seller is responsible for these; (c) changes in applicable laws, including, but not limited to, conditions described in Section 6 ‘TAXES, DUTIES and FEES’ below; and (d) changes in the Seller’s cost of production, such as in the cost of raw materials, components, and/or labour.

* CONSUMERS ONLY: The Seller may also make changes to the price applicable to a Contract with a Buyer which is a Consumer in the circumstances described in the above paragraph of this sub-section 4(b)(2) relating to Business Customers, provided that before doing so the Seller notifies the Buyer which is a Consumer and obtains that Buyer’s express consent to the change in price. In such case, that Buyer shall also be permitted to contact the Seller to end the Contract before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any Products paid for but not received.

5. SALE OF PRODUCTS

The provisions set forth in this Section shall apply if the Seller sells Products to the Buyer.

(a) Environment requirements. The Buyer shall ensure an environment which meets the requirements specified by the Seller for the Products in a particular case (for example, concerning temperature, humidity, technical environment requirements and the like).
(b) The Products of the Seller’s supplier. If and insofar as the Seller provides Products from third parties to the Buyer, these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions shall apply with regard to that Product as between the Seller and the Buyer.

6. TAXES, DUTIES AND FEES:

The Seller shall be responsible for taxes measured on the Seller’s net income based upon performance of, or payment for, sales of Products under the Contract (“Seller Taxes”). The Buyer shall be responsible for all other taxes, duties, fees or other charges of any kind (including, but not limited to any manufacturer’s tax, retailers’ occupation tax, use tax, sales tax, excise tax, any tariff, levy or duty, any custom, inspection or testing fee, value added tax, or any other tax, fee or charge of any nature whatsoever), and any increase in the same, imposed by any governmental authority against the Buyer, the Seller or the Seller’s suppliers and/or contractors, based upon the Contract between Seller and Buyer, and whether related to production, sales, distribution, the delivery of Products or Software, or any other element of Seller’s performance under the Contract, or the performance of a Seller supplier or contractor in support of the Contract. In the event that the Seller, whether directly or indirectly through one or more of its suppliers and/or contractors, is required to pay any such tax, duty, fee or charge (including any increase in the amount thereof), regardless whether such tax, duty, fee or charge (or increase in the amount thereof) is imposed before or after the Seller’s delivery of the Products and/or Buyer’s payment under the Contract, the Buyer shall reimburse the Seller for the payment of such tax, duty, fee or charge (or increase in the amount thereof). The Seller may add the amount to be reimbursed to the price of the Product or Software or invoice it separately, at the Seller’s election. In lieu of such reimbursement, the Buyer may provide the Seller, at the time the Order is submitted, with a valid exemption certificate or other document which discharges the requirement to pay the relevant tax, duty, fee or charge and is acceptable to the authority imposing such tax, duty, fee or charge. If the exemption certificate or other document is considered to be invalid or without effect at any time, the Buyer shall reimburse the Seller on demand in respect of the resultant tax, duty, fee or charge. If the Seller’s prices include or are intended to cover any taxes, duties, fees or charges (other than Seller Taxes), any increase in such taxes, duties, fees and/or charges shall be the basis for a price adjustment.

All sums payable under, or in respect of, or in connection with, the Order by or on behalf of any party shall be paid free and clear of all deductions or withholdings save only as may be required by law. If any deduction or withholding is required by law to be made from any payment made by the Buyer to the Seller at any time, the Buyer shall pay the Seller such additional amount as will, after such deduction or withholding has been made, leave the Seller with the same amount as the Seller would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding.

7. TERMS OF PAYMENT:

(a) Payment terms. Terms of payment are payment in full, without set-off or discount, in pounds sterling (or such other currency agreed in writing by the Seller for the purposes of the Contract), which shall be payable either (i) by credit, debit card or via PayPal (Payment by Card); or (ii) where specifically consented to and approved by the Seller in writing, by wire transfer through the ERP System with the benefit of Special Payment Terms (Payment by ERP).

(b) Payment by a Buyer who is not an Existing Customer. The Buyer acknowledges that Orders may only be accepted in respect of Buyers who have been uploaded as an Existing Customer onto the Seller’s ERP System and that any such acceptance is in the Seller’s sole discretion. Accordingly, where the Buyer is not an Existing Customer at the time of placing an Order, it consents to the Seller registering it as an Existing Customer on the ERP System and acknowledges that the Seller will refuse to accept the Buyer’s Order where the Buyer fails the Seller’s vetting and know-your-client processes and checks as part of the registration process for the ERP System (see Section 2(b) ‘STATUS’). Where the Buyer is accepted onto the Seller’s ERP System, the Buyer further consents to the Seller creating an online e-commerce account in the Buyer’s name.

(c) Payment by Card. The Seller accepts payment by Visa Debit, Visa Credit, MasterCard, American Express, Maestro and PayPal. A Payment by Card will only be charged at or shortly after the time the Buyer places its Order on the Site. The Buyer is hereby made aware that online payment transactions are subject to validation checks by the Buyer’s card issuer and the Seller is not responsible if the Buyer’s card issuer declines to authorise payment for any reason. In addition, where a Buyer who makes Payment by Card is not an Existing Customer, the Buyer consents to the Seller conducting various vetting and know-your-client processes and checks on the Buyer in order to upload the Buyer’s Order onto its ERP System and register the Buyer as an Existing Customer (see Section 2(b) ‘STATUS’). All information provided by the Buyer will be treated securely and strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 2018 and in accordance with the terms of the Seller’s Privacy Policy (see Section 16 ‘DATA SECURITY’). In addition, the Seller shall not be responsible or liable for any charges or online handling or processing fees set by the Buyer’s card issuer.

(d) Payment by ERP. Where specifically consented to and approved by the Seller in writing, a Buyer which is a Business Customer may make payment by ERP. Payments by ERP shall be by means of a wire transfer, no later than thirty (30) days after (i) the end of the month in which the relevant Products were delivered to the Buyer at the Destination Address with a Delivery Dispatch Note or (ii) the end of the month otherwise applicable under the definition of Special Payment Terms set out in Section 1 ‘DEFINITIONS’.

A Buyer making payment by ERP is referred to subsection 8(e) ‘Risk of Loss/Damage’ below and agrees that (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Seller), where Special Payment Terms are approved by the Seller to be available and this payment method is selected by the Buyer but:

(i) the Products are lost (whether due to theft or otherwise) after delivery to the Seller’s carrier, then payment for such Products shall be due no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the month in which the Seller’s carrier (or another representative or agent of the Seller) delivers a notice confirming the loss of the Products along with a copy of the Delivery Dispatch Note, provided that an Invoice for the Products has been sent to the Buyer; or

(ii) the Products are damaged after delivery to the Seller’s carrier, then payment for such Products shall remain due no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the month in which the relevant damaged Products were delivered to the Buyer at the Destination Address with a Delivery Dispatch Note.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Seller, an Invoice for the Products shall be sent by (or on behalf of) the Seller to the Buyer to the Destination Address on or around the same time that the relevant Products are delivered to the Seller’s carrier for onward delivery to the Destination Address. Any complaint with respect to the Invoice must be notified to the Seller within eight (8) days after the date of delivery of the Invoice. Thereafter the Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the Invoice.

(e) Payment Default. If the Buyer defaults in any payment when due under a Contract, then the whole Contract price shall immediately become due and payable upon demand, or the Seller, at its option and without prejudice to its other lawful remedies, may defer delivery of remaining Products forming part of the Order or terminate the Contract. Where Payment by ERP is agreed with the Buyer and delivery is deferred, the Seller will only request payment in accordance with the requirements of subsection 7(d) ‘Payment by ERP’ above.

(f) Buyer Financial Condition. If, during the period of performance of the Contract:

(1) the financial condition of the Buyer is reasonably determined by the Seller not to justify usage of Special Payment Terms previously approved in writing by the Seller, the Seller may demand full or partial payment in advance before proceeding with the delivery of the Products under the Contract, or satisfactory security or guarantees that invoices will be promptly paid when due, or, at its option, without prejudice to other lawful remedies, may defer delivery or terminate the Contract with immediate effect by notice to the Buyer without incurring any liability vis-à-vis the Buyer; or

(2) the Buyer is or becomes subject to an Insolvency Event, then (without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller), the Seller may terminate the Contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Buyer, and if Products have been delivered but not paid for, the price shall become immediately due and payable notwithstanding any previous agreement to the contrary. For the purposes of this subsection 7(f)(2), “Insolvency Event” means any of the following: (i) the Buyer makes a composition or voluntary arrangement with its creditors, enters administration or goes into liquidation (other than for the purposes of a solvent amalgamation or reconstruction approved by the Seller in writing); (ii) an encumbrancer takes possession, or a receiver is appointed, of any of the property or assets of the Buyer; (iii) in the case of a Buyer who is a Consumer, a bankruptcy order is filed against them or steps are taken by the Buyer to enter into bankruptcy; (iv) any event analogous to the events in (i), (ii) or (iii) arises under the laws of any country outside England & Wales with respect to the Buyer; (v) the Buyer ceases or threatens to cease to carry on business; or (iv) the Seller reasonably apprehends that any of the above events in (i) to (v) of this subsection 7(f)(2) is about to occur and notifies the Buyer accordingly.

(g) Delay. If taking of delivery at the Destination Address is delayed by the Buyer, which delay must be consented to by the Seller, the Seller may store the Products in accordance with subsection 8(f) ’Storage’ below and the Seller may (effective on notice to the Buyer), change the price for the Products to reflect the increased cost of storage and delivery on the delayed date. Payments or, where Payment by Card has already occurred, the balance of payments shall become due 30 days following the end of the month on which the Seller is prepared to deliver the Products and storage shall be at the Buyer’s risk and expense as provided in subsection 8(f) ’Storage’ below.

(h) Late Payment. If any payment owed by the Buyer is not paid when due, then (without prejudice to the Seller’s other rights and remedies) it shall bear interest (both before and after judgment), without any written demand or notice of default being necessary, from the date on which it is due until it is paid. Interest shall accrue at the rate of 4 percent per annum above the Barclay’s Bank base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis and on the basis of a 365 day year. The Buyer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount. In the event the Seller is unable to take payment following delivery of any Products due to unforeseen circumstances, any technical error or other oversight, the Seller reserves the right to request payment from the Buyer and be paid accordingly for up to the legal limitation period which is currently 6 years under English law.

8. DELIVERY; TITLE TRANSFER; RISK OF LOSS/DAMAGE:

(a) Applicable Incoterms. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Seller and the Buyer (and as detailed in the Buyer’s ERP System account), the Seller shall apply CPT 2020 to all Contracts entered into under these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions and the following provisions of this subsection 8(b) to (f) shall apply. Where the Seller and the Buyer agree that different International Chamber of Commerce Incoterms (“ICC Incoterms”) shall apply to a particular Contract, this shall be confirmed by the Seller in the Acceptance Confirmation. If any amendment is needed to these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions to reflect the effect of the different Incoterms to be used, the Buyer shall promptly agree any relevant amendments to the terms of the Contract upon the request of the Seller.

(b) Delivery. The Buyer acknowledges that deliveries are restricted to locations in the United Kingdom. Accordingly, when placing an Order the Buyer will (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Seller) provide the Seller with a destination address in the United Kingdom for delivery and/or consent to delivery of the Products to the destination address in the United Kingdom registered for the Buyer on the ERP System (whichever is applicable being the Buyer’s “Destination Address”).

The Seller shall deliver Products into the custody of its carrier under CPT 2020 (“Carriage Paid to”) and arrange for the carrier to transport the Products to the Buyer’s Destination Address. For the avoidance of doubt, reference in these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions to delivery to the Seller’s carrier shall be deemed to occur upon the earlier of (i) collection by the Seller’s carrier of the relevant Products from the Seller’s office, factory, warehouse, authorized service centre or other facility and (ii) delivery of the relevant Products to the custody of the Seller’s carrier.

As provided in subsections 8(d) ‘Title Transfer’ and 8(e) ‘Risk of Loss/Damage’ below, the Buyer shall (except where it is a Consumer) acquire the title to the Products and bear the risk of loss (whether by theft or otherwise) and/or damage to such Products from the time the Seller delivers the Products to its carrier. Whilst the Seller is responsible for the transportation charges of the carrier up until delivery to the Buyer’s Destination Address (excluding any unloading costs), the Seller will not provide transit insurance (intended to cover loss or damage to the Product from the point of delivery of the Products to the Seller’s carrier including during transportation) and the Buyer shall be solely responsible for effecting any such insurance at its own cost and expense.

* CONSUMERS ONLY: As provided in subsections 8(d) ‘Title Transfer’ and 8(e) ‘Risk of Loss/Damage’ below, a Buyer which is a Consumer shall acquire the title to the Products and bear the risk of loss (whether by theft or otherwise) and/or damage to such Products from the earlier of (i) delivery of the Products to the Destination Address; or (ii) the date on which the Buyer or its agent takes physical possession of the Products. Accordingly, the Buyer shall not be required to arrange insurance cover for loss or damage to the Products from the point of delivery of the Products to the Seller’s carrier including during transportation and the insurable interest shall remain with the Seller for this period.

Given the restrictions on delivery of Products only to Destination Addresses in the United Kingdom, each Buyer (whether a Business Customer or a Consumer) agrees to be solely responsible for any export formalities which arise where the Buyer seeks to export the Products from the United Kingdom (including all costs and expenses of any export clearances) and any additional freight transportation costs for delivery of the Products to a final destination outside of the United Kingdom shall also be for the Buyer’s sole account.

(c) Delivery Dates. Delivery dates set out in the Order Receipt Acknowledgement, Acceptance Confirmation, Delivery Dispatch Note and any other notices relating to the Buyer’s Order are approximate and estimates only; delivery dates are not guaranteed. Delivery dates are based upon product availability, relevant third party suppliers performing timely and prompt receipt by the Seller from the Buyer of all necessary and correct delivery and other information. The Seller shall endeavour to meet any stated delivery date but the Seller shall not be in default in case a stated delivery or other period has been exceeded.

(d) Title Transfer. In the case of sales of Products to Buyers which are Business Customers, title to Products shall pass to the Buyer on the delivery of the Products to the Seller’s carrier for onward delivery to the Buyer’s Destination Address in accordance with subsection 8(b) ‘Delivery’. Notwithstanding the foregoing, title to Software shall not pass to the Buyer and is subject to the applicable license.

* CONSUMERS ONLY: In the case of sales of Products to Buyers which are Consumers, title to Products shall pass to the Buyer on earlier of (i) delivery of the Products to the Destination Address; or (ii) the date on which the Buyer or its agent takes physical possession of the Products.

(e) Risk of Loss/Damage. In the case of sales of Products to Buyers which are Business Customers, risk of loss (whether due to theft or otherwise) and/or damage to the Products shall pass to Buyer upon delivery of the Products to the Seller’s carrier for onward delivery to the Buyer’s Destination Address or, where there are subsequent carriers/freight forwarders, to the first carrier for transportation to the Buyer’s Destination Address.

A Buyer which is a Business Customer shall accordingly be solely responsible for arranging insurance at its own cost to cover the risk of loss (whether due to theft or otherwise) or damage to any Products arising from the point of delivery to the Seller’s carrier. Such Buyer’s rights to return or reject the Products are limited to those under subsection 3(e) ‘No fault returns policy’ and a claim under Section 10 ‘LIMITED WARRANTIES’.

Any loss (whether by theft or otherwise) of or damage to the Products and, if applicable, Software, in the course of transit to the Buyer’s Destination Address shall not affect the Buyer’s obligation to pay the full price for the Products in accordance with these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions.

* CONSUMERS ONLY: In the case of sales of Products to Buyers which are Consumers, risk of loss (whether due to theft or otherwise) and/or damage to the Products shall pass to the Buyer on the earlier of (i) delivery of the Products to the Destination Address; or (ii) the date on which the Buyer or its agent takes physical possession of the Products. Accordingly, a Buyer which is a Consumer shall not be responsible for arranging insurance to cover the risk of loss (whether due to theft or otherwise) or damage to any Products arising from the point of delivery to the Seller’s carrier. The insurable interest shall remain with the Seller until the risk of loss and/or damage transfers to the Buyer. Buyers which are Consumers are referred to their rights under subsections 3(e) ‘No Fault Returns Policy’, 3(f) ‘Remedies for loss or damage to Products in the case of Consumers only’ and Section 10 ‘LIMITED WARRANTIES’.

(f) Storage. In the event that the Buyer is unable to or fails to accept delivery of the Products at time of delivery by the carrier to the Buyer’s Destination Address, the Seller shall (if it has not already) give an Invoice to the Buyer for the full purchase price as if shipment had been successfully made and, in such case, payment shall fall due no later than the day falling 30 days after the end of the month in which delivery was attempted (even though it was unsuccessful) provided that an Invoice together with a copy of the Delivery Dispatch Note is given to the Buyer. Without prejudice to its other rights and remedies: (i) if the Seller elects to store such Products in its own facilities, the Buyer will pay the Seller the reasonable handling and storage charges for the period of such storage, or (ii) if the Seller elects not to store such Products itself, the Seller may arrange handling and storage by the carrier or other person selected by the Seller (in each case at the prices charged by such carrier or other person) for the Buyer at the Buyer's expense. In cases where handling and/or storage become necessary, the Seller shall have no obligation to make a contract of carriage for the redelivery of the Products and it shall be the Buyer's responsibility to make necessary arrangements to collect and/or arrange redelivery of such Products using its own carrier from the Seller’s own facilities or such other place of storage as arranged by the Seller (as applicable) to the Buyer’s Destination Address and all additional transportation and other charges and expenses incurred shall be for the Buyer’s sole account.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer’s inability or failure to accept delivery of the Products shall not alter the passage of risk under subsection 8(e) ‘Risk of Loss/Damage’ above, with the risk of loss and/or damage passing to the Buyer upon delivery of the Products to the carrier in accordance with subsection 8(b) ‘Delivery’ above (or, for a Consumer, on the earlier of (i) delivery of the Products to the Destination Address; or (ii) the date on which the Buyer or its agent takes physical possession of the Products). Without limitation, any failure by the Buyer to collect or arrange redelivery of relevant Products shall not excuse payment in full of the price for the Products, together with any additional charges and expenses in accordance with this subsection 8(f).

9. EXCUSABLE DELAYS; FORCE MAJEURE:

(a) Excuse of Performance. Seller shall not be deemed in breach of the Contract or be liable to the Buyer in any way (whether for any ordinary, incidental, or consequential loss or damage or otherwise) as a result of the Seller’s delay in or failure of delivery due to any of the following (an Excusing Factor): (i) any cause beyond the Seller’s reasonable control, (ii) an act of God, (iii) any act or omission of the Buyer, (iv) any embargo or other government act (v) any decree, legislation, restriction, authority or regulation (vi) any guideline, recommendation or request of the government, any ministry or any governmental body (including where caused by the Seller following any such guideline, recommendation or request not having the force of law) , (vii) fire, theft or accident (viii) strike, slowdown or other labour disturbance, (ix) war, armed conflict, act or threat of terrorism or riot, (x) epidemic or pandemic (including COVID-19) and/or any related quarantine measures, (xi) any act or omission of the Seller’s carrier (including any agent or sub-contractor of such carrier) or any delay or impossibility to use railways, shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other any means of public or private transportation, (x) impossibility to use public or private telecommunications network, or (xi) delay or inability to obtain necessary labour, materials, components, or facilities. Should any Excusing Factor occur, the Seller shall be: (1) entitled to extend the delivery date for a period equal to the duration of the Excusing Factor, including any consequential disruption caused by the Excusing Factor, and shall be relieved of its obligations under the Contract for such period, and (2) further entitled, in its sole discretion, to elect to terminate the Buyer’s Contract, provided that in the case of an Excusing Factor causing a delay to the Seller’s delivery (as opposed to a failure), the Excusing Factor must cause a delay of more than 7 days before the Seller’s right to terminate arises. Notice of the Excusing Factor shall be given promptly to the Buyer. In the event the Seller elects to so terminate the Contract, the Seller shall be released of and from all liability for failure to deliver the Products, including, but not limited to, any and all claims on behalf of the Buyer for lost profits, or any other claim of any nature which the Buyer might have. If shipping or progress of the work is delayed or interrupted by the Buyer, directly or indirectly, the Buyer shall pay the Seller for all additional charges resulting therefrom.

(b) Allocation. If the Seller determines that its ability to meet the demand for products, including the Products, or to obtain labour, materials, components or facilities is hindered, limited or made impracticable due to an Excusing Factor, the Seller may allocate its available supply of products (without obligation to acquire additional or other supplies of any such products), including the Products, among itself and its purchasers on such basis as the Seller determines to be equitable without liability for any failure of performance which may result therefrom

Seller shall not be bound by this Section to satisfy a claim under this Section made against the Seller by a Transferee, whether such Transferee is a direct or indirect Transferee of the Buyer. The Buyer shall provide any Transferee of a Product and, if applicable, Software written conspicuous notice of this section and Section 11 ‘LIMITATIONS OF REMEDY AND LIABILITY’ hereof.


(5) Exceptions. The duration of the warranty of certain Products may differ from the warranty duration set forth in subsection 10 (a)(1) ‘Scope and Period – Products.’ The Buyer must consult the Site or Seller directly to confirm the applicable warranty period.

(b) Remedies.

The Buyer’s exclusive remedy and the Seller’s sole obligation under this warranty shall be limited to such repair or replacement, CPT (Incoterms® 2020), or refund or credit by the Seller, and shall be conditioned upon the Seller receiving written notice of any defect and/or non-conformance within a reasonable period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after it was discovered or by reasonable care should have been discovered. All claims not made in writing and received by the Seller within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed waived. In no event shall the Seller’s liability for such defective or nonconforming Products exceed the purchase price paid by the Buyer for such Products. With prior approval from the Seller, the Buyer shall return the alleged defective Product or part, freight prepaid, for the Seller’s inspection, and no other Products shall be returned to any Seller office, factory, warehouse, authorized service centre or other facility, without the Seller’s written consent. Where the Seller elects to repair or replace Defective Products or components thereof, the provisions of Section 8 ‘DELIVERY; TITLE TRANSFER; RISK OF LOSS/DAMAGE’ shall apply except that references to the Buyer’s Order are deemed to apply to the replaced or repaired Products or components in question with the Destination Address being the same as was used for the original Order, unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Seller and the Buyer.

(6) Products and/or parts not manufactured by the Seller; for Products furnished by the Seller, but manufactured by others, the Seller will assign to the Buyer the written warranty, if any, of the manufacturer, if assignment is reasonably practicable; however, the Seller does not adopt or guarantee or represent that the manufacturer will comply with any of the terms of the warranty of such manufacturer. In no event shall the Seller have any liability for Products and/or parts not manufactured by the Seller;

(7) any technical advice furnished by the Seller without charge to the Buyer with respect to use of the Products; all such technical advice, or results obtained, is given and accepted at the Buyer’s sole risk; and/or

* Disclaimer: The Seller does not exclude any warranties in favour of a Consumer that the Seller cannot exclude under applicable law, including that the Products will be of satisfactory quality, provided within a reasonable timescale and match their description. Subject to the foregoing, the warranties described in this Section 10 are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in lieu of all other express and implied warranties, arising by operation of law or otherwise (including, without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, whether or not the purpose or use has been disclosed to the Seller in specifications, drawings, or otherwise and whether or not the Seller’s Products are specifically designed and/or manufactured by the Seller for the Buyer’s use or purpose) and accordingly, no such other express or implied warranties shall apply to or form part of the Contract. No employee, representative, or agent of the Seller other than an officer of the Seller is authorized to alter or modify any provision of this Section or to make any guarantee, warranty, or representation, express or implied, orally or in writing, which is contrary to the foregoing. Except where the Buyer and the Seller agree in a written and signed agreement upon the specifications applicable to the Products and, if applicable, Software, any description of the Products and, if applicable, Software, whether on the Site, otherwise in writing or made orally by the Seller or the Seller’s agents, specifications, samples, models, bulletins, drawings, diagrams, engineering sheets or similar materials used in connection with the Buyer’s Order are for the sole purpose of identifying the Products and shall not be construed as an express or implied warranty. Any suggestions by the Seller or the Seller’s agents regarding use, application or suitability of the Products shall not be construed as an express or implied warranty unless confirmed to be such in writing by the Seller’s authorized officer. In the event an authorized officer of the Seller sets forth any express or implied warranties in writing and (1) the actual operating conditions or other conditions or use differ from those represented by the Buyer to the Seller or (2) the Seller has relied upon any data or information supplied by the Buyer to the Seller in the selection or design of Products and such data or information is inaccurate, any such warranties contained therein which are affected by such conditions shall be null and void.

11. * LIMITATIONS OF REMEDY AND LIABILITY:

(a) Breach of Warranty Claims. The Buyer’s only remedy for breach of any warranty under the Contract, other than the warranty provided under Section 13 ‘INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNITY’ shall be the applicable remedy set forth in Section 10 ‘LIMITED WARRANTIES’ above. The Seller’s total liability for any and all breach of warranty claims under the Contract shall not exceed the purchase price allocable to the Product or Software or part thereof which gives rise to the claim.

(b) Other Claims. We do not exclude any warranties in favour of a Consumer that we cannot exclude under applicable law, including that the Products will be of satisfactory quality, provided within a reasonable timescale and match their description. Subject to the foregoing, all warranties, conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law are excluded from the Contract to the fullest extent permitted by law.

The Seller’s liability for any claim (other than a breach of warranty claim under Section10 ‘LIMITED WARRANTIES’) whether in contract, negligence, tort, strict liability, indemnity, misrepresentation or otherwise for any loss or damage, even if it is foreseeable, arising out of, connected with, or resulting from (i) the Contract or the performance or breach thereof; (ii) the design, manufacture, sale, delivery, resale, repair, replacement, installation, technical direction of installation, inspection, operation or use of any Products covered by or furnished under the Contract, shall in no case (except as provided in Section 13 ‘INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNITY’ and except to the extent of exclusions and limitations of liability that are prohibited by applicable law) exceed the purchase price allocable to the Products or part thereof giving rise to the claim. The Buyer agrees that this is a reasonable limitation on the Seller’s liability due to the nature of the Products.

(c) Consequential Damage Disclaimer. Subject to Section 11(g) ‘Exceptions’, the Seller shall not be liable for and disclaims all: (A) indirect, consequential, incidental, contingent, special or punitive damages whatsoever and regardless of whether the Seller knew or had reason to know of the possibility of the loss or damage in question; (B) loss of profits or revenues, goodwill, business opportunity or anticipated savings; (C) loss of data, loss of use of the Products, Software or any related equipment or systems, cost of capital, cost of substitute products, cost of facilities, business interruption, downtime, shutdown, or slowdown costs; (D) reputational damages or (E) any other types of economic loss, penalties, special or punitive damages, and claims of the Buyer’s customers for any such damages; and in the case of sub-categories (B) to (E), such exclusion and disclaimer applies regardless of whether such losses are direct or indirect.

(d) Expiration of Claims. Save to the extent such restriction is prohibited by law, all claims against the Seller arising out of or related to the Contract or the performance or breach thereof shall expire unless made and presented to the Seller in writing by the Buyer before expiration of the applicable warranty period.

(e) Notice of default. Subject always to the time limits for warranty claims set out in Section 10 ‘LIMITED WARRANTIES’, the Seller’s liability because of a failure to perform the Contract shall in all cases only arise if the Buyer immediately and properly provides a written notice of default to the Seller, with a reasonable time period for remedying the failure being given and the Seller still failing to perform its obligations after that period as well. The notice of default must contain a description of the breach which is as complete and specific as possible, so that the Seller can respond adequately.

(f) Precedence. The limitations of this Section shall apply regardless of whether a claim is based in contract, tort (including negligence), warranty, strict liability, intellectual property, or otherwise, and shall take precedence over any conflicting terms and conditions, except where the limitations of liability of such conflicting terms limit the Seller’s liability further.

(g) Exception. Nothing in the Contract limits any liability which cannot be limited by law. The limitations and exclusions set forth in this Section 11 or elsewhere in these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions shall not (i) save to the extent permitted by law, apply to limit liability arising in connection with death or personal injury resulting from a party’s negligence (ii) apply to limit liability caused by that party’s fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation or (iii) any other liability the exclusion or limitation of which is not permitted by English law.


12. INDEMNITY BY BUYER FOR THIRD PARTY WARRANTY CLAIMS:

If the Buyer supplies any of the Products to a third party, uses Products at a facility owned by a third party, and/or transfers Products and, if applicable, Software to a third party, the Buyer shall (except to the extent such requirement is prohibited by law) indemnify (and pay to the Seller an amount equal to the losses, costs and expenses incurred by it) and defend the Seller from and against any and all claims by, and liability to, any such third party in excess of the limitations set forth in Sections 10 ‘LIMITED WARRANTIES’ (including Section 10(a)(4) ‘Applicability’) and Section 11 ‘LIMITATIONS OF REMEDY AND LIABILITIES’. For the purposes of this subsection, the “Seller” means the Seller, its affiliates, suppliers, contractors, licensors and their employees.


13. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNITY:

The Seller warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, Products and, if applicable, Software furnished hereunder, and any part thereof, (each a “Delivered Item”) shall be delivered free of any rightful claim of any third party not affiliated with the Buyer for infringement of any patent granted in the U.S., UK or E.U., any trademark registered in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any equivalent office in the UK or E.U. and/or any copyright registered in the U.S. Copyright Office (“Registered IP Rights”). The Seller will, at its own expense, defend or settle any suits that may be instituted against the Buyer for alleged infringement by the Delivered Item of any Registered IP Rights provided that: (a) such alleged infringement consists of the use of the Delivered Item for (i) any of the purposes for which the Buyer informed the Seller such Delivered Items would be used, or (ii) if the Buyer did not so inform the Seller, any of the purposes for which the Seller reasonably believed such Delivered Items would be used; (b) the Buyer shall have made all payments for such Delivered Items then due hereunder; (c) the Buyer shall give the Seller immediate notice in writing of any such suit and transmit to the Seller, immediately upon receipt, all processes and papers served upon the Buyer; (d) the Buyer does not take any position adverse to the Seller in connection with such claim; and (e) the Buyer shall permit the Seller through the Seller’s counsel, either in the name of the Buyer or in the name of the Seller, to defend such suit(s) and give all needed information, assistance and authority to enable the Seller to do so. As a separate and independent obligation, the Buyer shall provide all such information (including documentation) and reasonable assistance as the Seller may request at any time(s) in connection with any such actual or threatened suit.

In case of a final award of damages in any such suit, the Seller will pay such award but will not be responsible for any compromise or settlement made without its written consent. In case the Delivered Item itself is in such suit held to infringe any Registered IP Rights, and its use is enjoined, or in the event of a settlement or compromise approved by the Seller which shall preclude future use of the Delivered Item, the Seller shall, at its own expense and at its sole option, either: (a) procure rights to continue using such Delivered Item; (b) modify the Delivered Item to render it non-infringing; (c) replace the Delivered Item with a non-infringing Product and, if applicable, Software; or (d) refund the purchase price paid by the Buyer for the Delivered Item after return of the Delivered Item to the Seller (less reasonable depreciation for any period of use). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not be held responsible for claims of infringement of any Registered IP Rights covering the use of the Delivered Item in combination with other goods or materials not furnished by the Seller.

The foregoing states the entire liability of the Seller for intellectual property infringement, and in no event shall the Seller be liable for consequential (including loss of profits or revenues) or incidental damages attributable to an intellectual property infringement beyond that. The Buyer, at its own expense, shall defend the Seller against, and/or settle, any claim against the Seller of contributory infringement resulting from the resale by the Buyer of a Delivered Item sold hereunder or use of a Delivered Item in a manner other than as described in this Section. The Buyer shall indemnify the Seller for any award against the Seller or settlement by the Seller regarding any such claims and attorneys’ fees and defence costs incurred in defence of such claims.

The Seller shall own all Intellectual Property Rights subsisting in or arising in connection with all software, content, drawings, know-how, designs, specifications, inventions, devices, developments, processes, applications and any other materials, made available to the Buyer in connection with the Contract (whether or not directly disclosed or otherwise provided to the Buyer by the Seller) (collectively, “Seller Intellectual Property”). All Seller Intellectual Property will remain the property of the Seller or its licensors (as applicable) and will vest in and inure to the Seller’s sole benefit and will be kept confidential by the Buyer in accordance with these E-Commerce Terms and Conditions.

Unless specifically provided for and itemised for payment as agreed to by the Seller, the sale of Products by the Seller to the Buyer does not include delivery of any design, development or related services associated with Seller Intellectual Property.
