3.1 The products are as described in the Seller’s sales literature (as modified by any applicable Specification) or, in the event of an order made by the Buyer for a bespoke product, as described in the Specification.

3.2 To the extent that the products are to be manufactured in accordance with a Specification supplied by the Buyer, the Buyer shall indemnify the Seller against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal and other reasonable professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by the Seller in connection with any claim made against the Seller for actual or alleged infringement of a third party’s intellectual property rights arising out of or in connection with the Seller’s use of the Specification. This clause 3.2 shall survive termination of the contract.

3.3 The Seller reserves the right to amend any Specification if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements, and to supply the products with such modifications (technical or otherwise) as the Seller may consider necessary.

3.4 All designs, sketches and drawings are submitted by the Seller in confidence, and unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller, they, and the copyright in them, remain the property of the Seller. Press tools, printing plates, artwork, negatives and engravings provided by the Seller to the Buyer shall remain the property of the Seller, whether a charge is made by the Seller to the Buyer in respect of them or not.

  1. Price and Price Variation

(a) The price of the product shall be the price set out in the Agreement, or, if no price is quoted, the price set out in the Seller’s published price list in force as at the date of delivery. The Seller may, by giving notice to the Buyer at any time up to 10 Business Days before delivery, increase the price of the product to reflect any increase in the cost of the product that is due to

(i) any factor beyond the Seller’s control (including foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties, and increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs),

(ii) any request by the Buyer to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of products ordered, or the specification in the Agreement or

(iii) any delay caused by any instructions of the Buyer or failure of the Buyer to give the Seller adequate or accurate information or instructions.

(b) If the Buyer considers such variations unreasonable, it may, by notice in writing to the Seller (served upon the Seller within one Business Day of service upon the Buyer of the Seller’s notice), cancel the Agreement, subject strictly to the provisions of condition 10(d) below. In such circumstances, neither party shall be under further liability to the other under the Agreement, other than any liability accrued at the date of service by the Buyer of such notice on the Seller, or any liability as set out in condition 10(d) below.

  1. Despatch and Delivery

(a) The despatch and/or delivery date/s given in the Agreement are given in good faith, but are estimates only and time of despatch and/or delivery is not of the essence. No liability whatsoever can be accepted by the Seller for delays in despatch or delivery howsoever caused, and the Buyer shall not be entitled to refuse to accept the product or cancel the contract by reason of any delay in despatch or delivery, unless specifically agreed with the Seller.

(b) Unless otherwise agreed in the Agreement, the Buyer shall collect the product from the Seller’s premises and such location shall be advised by the Seller prior to delivery (“Delivery Location”). The Buyer shall ensure that the product is collected from the Delivery Location within 3 Business Days of the Seller notifying the Buyer that the product is ready for collection.

(c) If the Buyer fails to take delivery of the product within 3 Business Days of the Seller notifying the Buyer that the product is ready for collection, then, except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Seller’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Agreement

(i) delivery of the product shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the third Business Day after the Business Day on which the Seller notified the Buyer that the product was ready and

(ii) the Seller shall store the product until delivery takes place, and charge the Buyer for all related costs and expenses (including insurance).

(d) If 3 Business Days after the Business Day on which the Seller notified the Buyer that the product was ready for collection the Buyer has not collected the product from the Delivery Location, the Seller may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the product and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs and expenses, account to the Buyer for any excess over the price of the product or charge the Buyer for any shortfall below the price of the product.

(e) The Seller shall ensure that each delivery of the product is accompanied by a delivery note and if the Seller requires the Buyer to return any packaging materials to the Seller, that fact has been made known to the Buyer. The Buyer shall make any such packaging materials available for collection at such times as the Seller shall reasonably request. Returns of packaging materials shall be at the Buyer’s expense in accordance with clause 12.

(f) The Seller reserves the right to deliver the product by instalments, which may, at the sole discretion of the Seller, be invoiced for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract. The Seller is entitled to vary by way of frequency or quantity the delivery of the product by instalments. The total quantity agreed shall be delivered to the Buyer within 6 months after the date of the Buyer being notified of the first despatch. If any balance of the order is outstanding at the end of the 6 months, the Buyer shall take delivery within 14 days after the Seller has notified the Buyer that the product is ready for despatch. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Buyer to cancel any other instalment.

(g) The Seller reserves the right to make a charge for deliveries based on minimum order/delivery quantity, at a rate to be determined by the Seller.

(h) If the Seller fails to deliver the product, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer in obtaining replacement goods of a similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the product. The Seller shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the product to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Buyer’s failure to provide the Seller with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the product.

(i) The Buyer shall not be entitled to reject delivery of the product if the Seller delivers up to and including 10% more or less than the quantity ordered, but a pro rata adjustment shall be made to the order invoice, on receipt of notice from the Buyer that the wrong quantity of the products were delivered.

(j) In the case of a Buyer failing to take delivery of the product, or if the Seller is unable to deliver the product by reason of the Buyer’s instructions or lack thereof, the Seller shall be entitled to store and insure the product at the expense of the Buyer, and charge the Buyer the costs associated with the same, until such time as the Buyer takes delivery of the product.

  1. Passing of Title and Risk

(a) Title in the product shall pass on payment being received by the Seller in full in cash or cleared funds into its bank account, for the whole of any delivery.

(b) Risk in the product passes to the Buyer on delivery (as set out in clause 5 above). (c) Until title to the product has passed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall:

(i) hold the product on a fiduciary basis as the Seller’s bailee;

(ii) store the product separately from all other goods or products held by the Buyer so that they remain readily identifiable as the Seller’s property;

(iii) not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the product;

(iv) maintain the product in satisfactory condition and keep it insured against all risks for its full price from the date of delivery;

(v) notify the Seller immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 10(a)(iii); and

(vi) give the Seller such information relating to the product as the Seller may require from time to time,

(d) Subject to clause 6(c) the Buyer may resell or use the product in the ordinary course of its business (but not otherwise) before the Seller receives payment for the product. However, if the Buyer resells the product before that time it does so as principal and not as the Seller’s agent and title to the product shall pass from the Seller to the Buyer immediately before the time at which resale by the Buyer occurs. In the event of the Buyer selling or otherwise disposing of the product before payment is made in full to the Seller, the Buyer shall hold the proceeds of such sale or disposal on trust for the Seller.

(e) If, before title to the product passes to the Buyer, the Buyer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 10(a)(iii), or the Seller reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen and notifies the Buyer accordingly, then, provided that the product has not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into any other goods or product/s (as the case may be), and without limiting any other right or remedy the Seller may have, the Buyer’s right to resell the product or use it in the ordinary course of its business shall cease immediately and the Seller may at any time require the Buyer to deliver up the product and, if the Buyer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Buyer or of any third party where the product is stored in order to recover the product.

  1. Terms of payment

(a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller, payment shall be due 30 calendar days from the date of invoice. Time of payment is of the essence.

(b) Notwithstanding clause 7(a), the Seller may, at any time, require the Buyer to make payment in advance of delivery, or to advance adequate security for the payment of all amounts due or becoming due.

(c) Without prejudice to the right of the Seller to payment in accordance with the terms of payment specified in clause 7(a) the Seller shall, at its sole discretion, have the right to charge interest at the rate of 5% per month or part of a month above the base lending rate from time to time of the Bank of England on any amount more than 20 calendar days overdue. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. The Buyer shall pay the interest, together with the overdue amount.

(d) The Buyer shall pay all amounts due under the Agreement in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (except for any deduction or withholding required by law). The Seller may at any time, without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have, set off any amount owing to it by the Buyer against any amount payable by the Seller to the Buyer.

  1. Seller’s Warranty

(a) The Seller warrants that the product delivered to the Buyer will comply with the Specification, or in the absence of a Specification, the description given in the Agreement. In the absence of such Specification or description, the product shall be of normal industrial quality and supplied to the Seller’s current Acceptable Quality Standard, a copy of which is available on request.

(b) Save as provided in this clause (and to the fullest extent permitted by law), no representation, warranty, condition or term, express or implied, statutory or otherwise as to the quality of the product, its fitness for any purpose or compliance with any sample or description or in any other respect shall apply to the Agreement or to any delivery made thereunder.

  1. Limitation of Liability – the Buyer’s attention is drawn in particular to the provisions of this clause

(b) Subject to clause 9(a), the Seller shall, under no circumstances whatsoever, be liable to the Buyer, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any loss of profit, or any indirect or consequential loss arising under or in connection with the Agreement.

(c) The Seller’s total liability to the Buyer in respect of all other losses arising under or in connection with the Agreement, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall in no circumstances exceed the price paid by the Buyer for the product.

(d) The Seller’s liability in respect of products found to be defective either as to workmanship, material or design shall be limited at the Seller’s option to the replacement of any such defective products or refund of the Buyer’s payment in respect of any such products. The Seller’s liability shall not extend to loss or damage in any way attributable to the operation of filling or capping.

(e) The Seller shall not be responsible for any injury loss or damage, howsoever caused, arising directly or indirectly from the storage, application, or use of the product.

(b) Should the Seller suspend deliveries, it may, at any subsequent time, terminate the Agreement forthwith. Should the Seller waive or delay its right to suspend deliveries, it shall not be stopped from suspending later deliveries or from terminating the Agreement forthwith. No Agreement may be cancelled or suspended by the Buyer without the Seller’s written consent. Any consent so given shall be given only on the express condition that the Seller be compensated against any losses incurred wholly or in part by that cancellation or suspension.

(c) If, within 5 Business Days of the Seller accepting an order from the Buyer in accordance with the provisions of condition 2(c), the Seller determines that it is unable to fulfil the order, or make the product using its machinery, the Seller shall be entitled to terminate the contract with the Buyer forthwith in writing, without liability.

  1. Packaging and Marking

(a) While it is intended that the packages shall bear a description of the product contained therein, the Buyer must ensure at the time of delivery that the packages are so marked. Unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Seller, all packages are non-returnable. Packages specified as returnable remain the property of the Seller, and shall not be used for any other purpose than storage of the product supplied. Any such returnable packages must be returned to the Seller in good condition, as soon as possible, with carriage paid to an address indicated by the Seller.

(b) While the Seller will use its reasonable endeavours to comply with any instructions the Buyer may give as to the markings to be placed on the packages, the Seller accepts no responsibility for any failure to comply with such instructions, and the Buyer shall indemnify the Seller against all the consequences to the Seller of complying with the Buyer’s instructions in respect of so packaging and marking the product.

(c) Unless the Seller agrees otherwise under any Specification, the Seller shall at all times reserve the right to determine how the product is packaged (without exception).

  1. Buyer’s Obligations

(a) It is a condition precedent to liability on any claim relating to the specifications or quality of the product that such claim is made in writing to the Seller’s head office as follows:

(i) within 10 Business Days of the date of arrival of the product at premises owned, occupied or used by the Buyer or to which the Buyer has access in respect of faults that can be determined by way of visual inspection, including (but not limited to) fit, adherence to design tolerances or print quality; or

(ii) within 30 Business Days of the date of arrival of the product at premises owned, occupied or used by the Buyer or to which the Buyer has access in respect of any faults that cannot be reasonably determined by visual inspection.

(b) If it is alleged that the product is delivered in a damaged state, or in the event of loss, shortage, nondelivery, or delay, the Buyer is required to notify the Seller’s head office and the Buyer’s carriers (if any) in writing within 10 Business Days of the date of arrival of the product at premises owned, occupied or used by the Buyer or to which the Buyer has access, giving full details of the alleged damage, loss, shortage, nondelivery, or delay. If it is alleged that the product is lost in transit, the Buyer is required to notify the Seller’s head office within 5 Business Days of the date of invoice. The Seller cannot accept any liability if the product is damaged or lost in transit where transport/delivery is arranged by the Buyer.

(c) For export orders where the Seller has effected marine insurance, no claim for loss, damage or nondelivery can be made by the Buyer unless it has complied with the provisions of the marine insurance certificate and promptly notified the Seller and the underwriters or their agents of the possibility of a claim.

(d) If the Buyer shall fail to give such notice as is required in clauses 13(a) and 13(b), then the product shall be deemed in all respects to be in accordance with the Agreement, and the Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the product.

(e) Any product in respect of which the Buyer makes any claim shall be preserved intact as delivered. The Seller and/or its agents shall have the right to attend the Buyer’s premises to investigate any complaint.

(f) If the Buyer gives notice in writing to the Seller of an issue with the delivery, specification, quantity or quality of the product in line with those set out at clauses 13(a) and 13(b), the Seller shall, at its option (and only if it considers such action to be appropriate and justified), replace the product, provide a credit note for the price of the product in full, or take any such action deemed necessary by the Seller to resolve the situation with the Buyer, with both parties acting reasonably and in good faith at all times.

(g) Any failure by the Buyer to comply with this clause 13 shall preclude the Buyer from making any claim against the Seller in respect of any defect in the product, and from refusing to accept the product.

  1. Customers articles The Seller shall take reasonable care of any of the Buyer’s goods, design, artwork, patterns, moulds or any other article or item within its custody or control, but in the case of any damage to any such article howsoever caused, the Seller shall be liable only if and so far as such loss or damage is caused by the Seller’s negligence, breach of duty or other wrongful act or omission, and any such liability shall be limited to the payment by the Seller of any amount not exceeding the value or replacement cost (whichever is the lesser sum) of the article that is the subject of the claim.
  2. Import Duties and Licences The Buyer will, in good time, procure any necessary import permits and promptly pay all customs and import duties which may be due by the Buyer and which may become payable on the importation of the products.
  3. Seller’s Marks The Buyer shall not, in selling its products, or in promoting the sale thereof, make any reference to the Seller, or to any of the Seller’s trademarks or brand names without the Seller’s written consent.
  4. Assignment The Seller may at any time assign, transfer, mortgage, charge, subcontract or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under the Agreement, but the Agreement shall not be assigned or transferred by the Buyer (directly or indirectly) except with the prior written consent of the Seller.
  5. Notices

(a) Any notice or other communication given to a party under or in connection with the Agreement shall be in writing, addressed to that party at its registered office (if it is a company) or its principal place of business (in any other case) or such other address as that party may have specified to the other party in writing in accordance with this clause, and shall be delivered personally, sent by pre-paid first class post or other next Business Day delivery service, or by commercial courier or fax or e-mail.

(b) A notice or other communication shall be deemed to have been received: if delivered personally, when left at the address referred to in clause 18(a); if sent by pre-paid first class post or other next Business Day service, at 9.00 am on the second Business Day after posting; if delivered by commercial courier, on the date and at the time that the courier’s delivery receipt is signed; or, if sent by fax or e-mail, one Business Day after transmission or sending (as the case may be).

(c) The provisions of this clause shall not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action.

  1. Severance

(a) If any provision or part-provision of the Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the Agreement.

(b) If any provision or part-provision of the Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend such provision so that, as amended, it is legal, valid and enforceable, and, to the greatest extent possible, achieves the intended commercial result of the original provision.

  1. Waiver

A waiver of any right or remedy under the Agreement or law of the Seller is only effective if given in writing by the Seller, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. No failure or delay by the Seller to exercise any right or remedy provided under the Agreement or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

  1. Third Party Rights

A person or firm who is not a party to the Agreement shall not have any rights to enforce its terms.

  1. Arbitration

Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Agreement is to be settled by arbitration in London, England, by two Arbitrators accustomed to the trade (one to be named by each party) and an umpire to be chosen by the Arbitrators in accordance with the Arbitration Act 1996, or any statutory modifications or reenactment thereof for the time being in force and in accordance with the Laws of England and Wales.

  1. Health and Safety

All products are sold on the basis that the Buyer will take notice of the care and handling recommendations as supplied by the Seller or manufacturer of the product, or, failing such recommendations being given, follow the highest standards of care adopted by the industry in respect of the product. If the Buyer is not already in possession of literature or information in connection with the safe use of the product at work, then contact should be made with the Seller to request such information.

  1. Variation

Except as set out in these terms and conditions, no variation of the Agreement, including the introduction of any additional terms and conditions shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorised signatory of the Seller.
