These terms and conditions shall be incorporated into the Contract to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions expressed or implied other than valid variations of these terms and conditions as provided by condition 2.3 herein even if such terms and conditions are contained in a document produced by the Purchaser in which there are provisions which seek to provide that his terms and conditions prevail to the exclusion of the terms and conditions herein.

These terms and conditions supersede all previous terms and conditions of trade of CSD.

No variation of these conditions shall bind CSD unless agreed in writing and signed by a Proprietor on behalf of CSD save that any special conditions expressed by CSD in any quotation, estimate, contract, specification, written acknowledgement or letter shall form part of these conditions and in the event of any conflict or ambiguity such special conditions shall prevail.

CSD may grant to the Purchaser time or other indulgence without affecting its rights against the Purchaser under these conditions.

Each order and its acceptance is to be treated as a separate contract and accordingly if there shall be at any one time more than one Contract in the course of performance between CSD and the same Purchaser and if any question dispute or difficulty shall arise in respect of one of such Contracts, neither the existence of such question, dispute, or difficulty nor the terms on which it may be settled shall affect in any way whatsoever other such Contracts save that if such question or dispute relates to non-payment of CSD for the Goods supplied to or for the Services performed for the Purchaser then CSD shall be entitled to cease to perform the other Contracts without liability.

 

3. QUOTATIONS

A quotation given by CSD to the Purchaser does not constitute an offer by CSD to supply the goods or perform the Services.

 

4. ACCEPTANCE

Every order placed by the Purchaser with CSD shall be deemed to be an offer by the Purchaser to CSD to buy the Goods or pay for the performance of the Services subject to these terms and conditions and will not be binding upon CSD until CSD has accepted the order.

 

5. DELIVERY AND PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES

Time of delivery and performance

If no date for delivery or performance is stated by CSD delivery or performance shall be made within a reasonable time. Any time or date for delivery of the Goods or performance of the Services given by CSD to the Purchaser is an estimate only. CSD shall not be liable for any loss or damage howsoever arising by reason of any failure on the part of CSD to effect delivery to or performance for the Purchaser at the time or date stated and accordingly time for delivery or performance shall not be of the essence of the Contract unless CSD expressly agrees in writing. Any delivery period begins on the date of CSD’s acceptance of the Purchaser’s order as required by condition 4 hereof or if later when CSD receives from the Purchaser any further information or goods which it may require to proceed with the Contract. The Purchaser agrees to supply such information or goods promptly.

Passing of risk

Not withstanding the terms of condition 10 below, risk of loss or damage to or by the Goods shall pass to the Purchaser upon the Goods leaving the premises of CSD unless delivery is made by a motor vehicle owned by CSD in which case such risk shall pass to the Purchaser upon the Goods entering the premises of the Purchaser.

Place of delivery

In the event that the Contract requires CSD to cause the Goods to be delivered CSD shall effect delivery of the Goods to the Purchasers normal place of business within the United Kingdom unless otherwise agreed between the parties.

The Purchaser shall pay for the actual quantity of Goods delivered at the rates specified in the Contract.

Delivery by instalments

CSD shall be entitled to deliver the Goods in instalments unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties and the Purchaser shall be obliged to accept such deliveries. If the Goods are delivered in instalments by CSD each delivery shall be deemed to be the subject of a separate contract to which these conditions shall apply but so that this condition shall in no way affect the right of CSD to suspend or terminate the whole Contract.

Any complaint about or delay in the delivery of any instalment shall not entitle the Purchaser to reject any subsequent delivery.

If the Goods are being delivered in instalments by CSD then it shall have the right to make good any shortfalls in the amount of Goods delivered in earlier instalments in later instalments.

If the Goods are being delivered in instalments, CSD shall have the right to withhold later deliveries until earlier deliveries have been paid for in full by the Purchaser.

 

6. PURCHASER CAUSING DELAY IN DELIVERY OR COLLECTION OF GOODS

If for any reason the Purchaser causes any delay in the delivery or collection of the Goods or any part thereof beyond the lime that they would otherwise have been available for delivery or collection CSD may terminate the Contract by serving writ ten notice to that effect on the Purchaser. Such termination shall be without prejudice to any claim that CSD may have in respect of an antecedent breach by the Purchaser of any of his obligations under the said Contract or in respect of any Goods delivered to the Purchaser for which payment in full has not been received.

 

7. LIEN

CSD shall have a general lien over any goods or monies belonging to the Purchaser in its possession until all monies due to CSD from the Purchaser shall have been paid in full.

CSD may after a reasonable period (to be decided solely by CSD) otherwise dispose of the goods and account to the Purchaser for the proceeds of sale less storage expenses and any costs of sale and shall upon accounting to the Purchaser for the balance of the proceeds of sale (if any) be discharged from all liability whatsoever in respect of the goods.
