    • The Company shall have no liability for any failure to deliver Goods and/or to perform Services to the extent that such failure is caused by the Client’s failure to ensure that:
      • the Company is able to gain access to the premises where Installation and/or the performance of Services is to occur;

      • charge the Client a failed delivery charge (“Failed Delivery Charge”), which will be a minimum sum of £15 (the full cost is available on application); or
      • store the Goods until actual delivery and charge the Client for the reasonable costs of insurance, storage and redelivery; or
      • resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and, after deducting all reasonable storage and selling costs, charge the Client for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.
    • The Company may deliver the Goods and/or Services by instalments. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract.  Any delay in Delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Client to cancel any other instalment.
    • If upon Delivery only part of an Order can be fulfilled, the Company shall advise the Client which of the Goods supplied are only temporarily unavailable. Orders for Goods that are temporarily unavailable will be fulfilled by the Company as and when the Goods are available.
    • The Client must notify the Company within 8 Working Hours of the completion of Delivery of the Goods of any damage to the goods or incomplete Delivery, otherwise the Client will be deemed to have accepted the Goods.
    • If the Company delivers more or less than the agreed quantity of Goods the Company shall have no liability to the Client in respect of the shortfall unless the Client notes such excess or shortage on the delivery note or sign-off sheet.
    • In the case of excess delivery the Company will make arrangements within a reasonable period for the excess to be returned to the Company at the Company’s expense. Until such time as such excess is collected by or on behalf of the Company, the Client shall be responsible for the storage of such excess (and to keep such Goods in good condition) at the Client’s expense.
    • In the case of a short delivery, the Company may at its own discretion either make good the shortfall by one or more further deliveries or reduce the Price by the same proportion as the shortage bears to the Contract quantity.
    • The Client shall not be entitled to reject any delivery on the grounds of any excess or short delivery but shall pay the Price or where the Company exercises the option referred to in Clause 5.15 above the reduced Price in accordance with that provision.

    • Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Client on Delivery. The Company shall not be liable for any loss of or any damage to the Goods occurring after Delivery.

    • Until the date referred to in clause 6.2, the Client shall not be entitled to dispose of the Goods in any way whatsoever and shall hold the Goods as trustee for the Company and shall store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Client so that they remain readily identifiable as the Company’s property and shall maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from Delivery and notify the Company immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 9.
    • If before title to the Goods passes to the Client the Client becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 9, or the Company reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen and notifies the Client accordingly, then, provided that the Goods have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product, and without limiting any other right or remedy the Company may have the Company may at any time require the Client to deliver up the Goods and, if the Client fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Client or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.

 

  • PRICE AND PAYMENT
    • The price of the Goods and/or Services (“the Price”) shall be the price set out on the Company’s Website, except in cases of obvious error, or the Company’s sales quotation form issued by the Company to the Client.
    • The Company’s published prices for the Goods and/or Services are exclusive of VAT or any similar tax or duty which may be imposed in respect of the sale of goods and/or services. The Client shall, on receipt of a valid VAT invoice from the Company, pay to the Company such additional amounts in respect of VAT as are chargeable on the supply of the Goods and/or Services.
    • Prices are liable to change at any time but changes will not affect Orders in respect of which the Company has already sent an Order Confirmation to the Client.
    • The Company’s Website contains a large number of Goods and Services and it is always possible that, despite best endeavours, some of the Goods and/or Services listed on the Company’s Website may be incorrectly priced. Prices are normally verified as part of the Company’s Order Confirmation so that where a Goods’ and/or Services’ correct price is higher than the stated price on the Company’s Website, the Company will normally, at the Company’s discretion, either contact the Client to offer the Goods and/or Services at the higher price before dispatching the Goods and/or Services or reject the Client’s Order and notify the Client of such a rejection.
    • Time for payment shall be of the essence and no payment shall be deemed to have been received until the Company has received cleared funds.
    • The Client shall make all payments due under the Contract in full without any deduction whether by way of set-off, counterclaim, discount, abatement or otherwise unless the Client has a valid court order requiring an amount equal to such deduction to be paid by the Company to the Client.

 

  • RETURNS
    • Where the Client returns Goods to the Company (“Return”), for example in accordance with Clause 3, the Company will examine the returned Goods and notify the Client whether or not the Company accepts the Client’s claim for a refund via email within a reasonable period of time.
    • Returns must be requested in writing to sales@warrensoffice.co.uk.
    • Until such time as the Return is collected on behalf of the Company, the Client shall be responsible for the storage of the Return (and to keep such Goods in good condition) at the Client’s expense.
    • The Goods to be returned must be re-packaged in their original packaging, otherwise collection of the Goods may be refused by the collecting courier.
    • The courier will only attempt collection once. If the courier is unable to gain access to the Goods at the address for collection or the Goods are inadequately packaged, the Client shall pay a charge for a failed collection (“Failed Collection Charge”).  Details of Failed Collection Charges are available on request.
    • Where the Goods are returned using the Client’s own courier, the Company will not be responsible for any damage to the Goods until their arrival at the Company’s Return address. Whether or not a credit is made and the amount of the credit may be determined by the condition of the Goods on arrival.
    • When the Return is received by the Company, the Company will examine the Goods and notify the Client by email within a reasonable period of time whether or not the Client’s claim for a refund is accepted.
    • Where the Company deems that a refund is due, it will usually make a refund using the same method originally used by the Client to make payment for the Goods and/or Services. The Company will usually process the refund due to the Client as soon as possible.
