The Customer acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of BPS which is not set out in the Contract.

1.3     The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when BPS issues a written acceptance of the Order or delivers the Goods, (whichever is sooner), at which point the Contract shall come into existence. A quotation for any Goods given by BPS shall not constitute an offer and may be varied or withdrawn at any time.

1.4     The opening and the maintenance of a credit account and the acceptance of any Order against that account is subject to the Customer providing BPS with any satisfactory references and/or personal guarantee requested and the observance by the Customer of the terms on which credit is allowed.

Goods are not sold fit for any particular purpose.

             2.1.1 BPS shall not be liable for any misrepresentation as to the condition of the Goods, fitness for purpose, or as to quantity or measurement unless the representation is:

2.4     BPS shall not be liable for the failure of any Goods to comply with the warranty set out in clause 2.2 in any of the following circumstances:

             2.4.1 The Customer makes any further use of such Goods after giving notice in accordance with clause 2.3.1;

         2.4.3 The Customer alters or repairs such Goods without the written consent of BPS;

         2.4.4 the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, willful damage, negligence, or abnormal storage or working conditions; or

         2.4.5 The Goods differ from their description as a result of changes made to ensure they comply with applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

2.5     BPS shall, where possible, use reasonable endeavors to assign to the Customer the benefit of any warranty, guarantee or indemnity given by BPS’s supplier.

These Conditions shall also apply to any repaired or replacement Goods supplied by BPS.

3.        TITLE AND RISK

3.1     Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer on delivery.

3.2     Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until BPS has received payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods or any other Goods for which payment is due.

         3.3.2 not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods and store the Goods separately from all other items held by the Customer so that they remain readily identifiable as BPS’ property whilst maintaining the Goods in satisfactory condition and keeping them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery;

         3.3.3 Notify BPS immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 7.2; and give BPS such information relating to the Goods as BPS may require from time to time.

3.4     If before title to the Goods passes to the Customer the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 7.2, or BPS reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen and notifies the Customer accordingly, then, provided that the Goods have not been resold, irrevocably affixed to land or incorporated into another product, BPS (without limiting any other right or remedy it may have) may at any time require the Customer to deliver up any Goods to which BPS retains title, BPS and or its representatives may enter any premises of the Customer or of any third party where the Goods are stored or believed to be stored in order to recover them.

4.        DELIVERY AND INSPECTION

4.1     BPS shall deliver Goods, in accordance with the method specified in the Order. Delivery of the Goods shall be made either:

             4.1.1 subject to clause 4.2.1 below, to the location set out in the Order or such other location as the parties may agree ("Delivery Location") at any time after BPS notifies the Customer that the Goods are ready. The Customer shall provide BPS with access to the Delivery Location in order that the delivery of the Goods may be carried out. The Customer must notify BPS promptly of any days or part days when such access to the Delivery Location will be unavailable; or

             4.1.2 The Customer shall collect the Goods from BPS’ premises or such other location as may be advised by BPS prior to delivery (“Delivery Location”) within five (5) days of BPS notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready to be collected.

4.2     Delivery of the Goods shall be completed:

             4.2.1 in the case of clause 4.1.1 on the arrival of the Goods on a BPS delivery vehicle on a hard road surface, unloaded at the Delivery Location, such unloading to be the responsibility of the Customer and which must be undertaken at reasonable speed;

             4.2.2 If any further movement of vehicle or Goods including if a BPS delivery vehicle is driven off hard road and or where a BPS representative(s) is required to assist with unloading is required, the Customer shall indemnify BPS against all and any liability arising from such further movement or unloading, including but not limited to fuel cost, labor and transport.

             4.2.3 In the case of clause 4.1.2 delivery of the Goods shall be completed on the completion of loading of the Goods at the Delivery Location.

4.3     Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery shall not be of the essence of the contract.

4.4     If BPS fails to deliver Goods, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Customer in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods.

4.5     BPS shall have no liability for any failure to deliver goods to the extent that such failure is caused by an event beyond BPS’ control or the unavailability of access to the Delivery Location or the Customer's failure to provide BPS with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of goods.

             4.5.1 For the avoidance of doubt BPS will not be liable for any damages whatsoever whether direct or indirect (including any liability to a third party) resulting from any delay in delivery of the Goods, or failure to deliver the Goods in a reasonable time howsoever the delay or failure is caused.

4.6     If the Customer fails, in the case of clause 4.1.1 to accept delivery, or in the case of clause 4.1.2 to take delivery, of the Goods within five (5) days of BPS notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready, then delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the fifth day after the day on which BPS notified the Customer that the Goods were ready and BPS shall store the Goods until delivery takes place, and charge the Customer for all related costs and expenses (including insurance).

4.7     If fourteen (14) days after the day on which BPS notified the Customer the Goods were ready for delivery the Customer has not accepted delivery of them,  BPS may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, account to the Customer for any sum received from the Customer as payment of the price of the Goods and any excess over the price of the Goods disposed of or charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.

4.7.1 BPS may in any case recover its losses caused by a failure to take delivery or make collection.

4.8     BPS may deliver or procure delivery of the Goods by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate Contract.

4.9     Immediately on delivery the Customer shall inspect the Goods delivered and inform BPS immediately by telephone and in writing within 3 days of any shortage or any defect apparent on normal visual inspection. The Customer shall check, complete and send to BPS immediately following delivery the relevant delivery documents provided by BPS (“Delivery Documents”) to confirm that the Goods are delivered and defect free, or otherwise, as the case may be.

             4.9.1 Liability for short delivery is limited to making good the shortfall

5.        PRICE AND PAYMENT

5.1     The price of the Goods shall be the price set out in the Order, or, if no price is set out, the price given in BPS’ published catalogue or price list in force as at the date of delivery.

            5.2.1 Any factor beyond BPS’ cotrol (including, without limitation, foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties and increases in labor, materials and other manufacturing costs;

          5.2.2 Any request by the Customer to change the delivery dates of the Goods, he quantities or types of Goods ordered; or

          5.2.3 Any delay caused by any instructions of the Customer or failure of the Customer to give BPS adequate or accurate information or instructions.

5.3     The price of the Goods is exclusive of the costs and charges of packaging, insurance and transport of the Goods, and amounts in respect of value added tax, all of which shall be invoiced to and payable by the Customer in the same manner as the price of the Goods.

5.5     In the event that the amount outstanding at any time exceeds the permitted credit account limit, a request will be made to the Customer for a payment on   account to bring the account within that limit. The credit limit may be reviewed at any time by BPS save that there will be no administration charge payable in respect of any outstanding overdue balance arising solely as a result of such adjustment.

5.6     In the event of non-payment, in accordance with these Conditions the whole of the price for all goods supplied to the Customer shall become due and payable.

5.7     Late payment will incur interest at 8% above the Bank of England base rate pursuant to the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest Act) 1998. BPS is also entitled to charge compensation in respect of late payment and in certain circumstances recovery charges.

5.8     Customers must obtain the permission of BPS to return unwanted Goods or materials. Should BPS agree to the return a re-stocking fee of not less than 10% of the selling price will be charged. BPS cannot accept for return any Goods ordered in as ‘Specials’ at the Customers request unless BPS’ supplier agrees to take the Goods back upon which there will be a minimum re-stocking charge of 25% of the selling price or greater as determined by BPS’ supplier.
