​

Clause 2: Order Acceptances – Quotations issued by the Seller are not offers capable of acceptance so as to form a binding contract and the Seller may withdraw or modify them at any time.

Any contract made between the Seller and the Buyer shall be subject to these conditions any no representative or agent of the Seller has authority to agree any terms or make any representations inconsistent with them or to enter into any contract except on the basis of them unless such term is in writing and signed by the Seller’s director of sales, operations or marketing. These conditions shall override and exclude any terms and conditions stipulated, referred to or implied by the Buyer. In the event that the Seller has not given a written acknowledgement of the Buyer’s order of these conditions, provided the Buyer shall have had prior notice of them, shall nonetheless apply to the contract.

​

Clause 3: Representations – Save for any instructions or guidance as to the installation or use of the goods any description, drawing, illustration or specification contained in the Seller’s catalogues, samples, price lists or advertising material is intended merely to present a general picture of the Seller’s products and shall not form a representation or be part of the contract.

​

Clause 4: Prices – The prices shall be those set out in the Seller’s current price list as at the date of the contract. All prices quoted are exclusive of VAT and the Buyer shall pay any and all taxes, duties and other government charges payable in respect of the goods.

​

Clause 5: Quantity Tolerances for Under/Over Deliveries – Quantities are approximate and accordingly the Buyer shall accept up to plus or minus 10% of the order quantity and any such variations will be deemed to be due execution of the order.

​

Clause 6: Dimensional Tolerances – The goods will be supplied to the dimensional tolerances defined by the Seller.

​

Clause 7: Warranties and Liability –

a) The Seller warrants that it has good title to the goods and that the goods will, for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery comply with their specification and be free from defects in material and workmanship. The Seller does not warrant that the goods are fit for any particular purpose and it is the Buyer’s responsibility to ensure the goods are suitable for the use(s) to which it intends to put them.

b) The warranties in condition 7(a) are given on condition that the Seller is not liable for a defect in the goods caused by: (i) fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal or unsuitable storage or working conditions of the goods by the Buyer; (ii) failure to follow the Seller’s instructions or guidance whether oral or in writing (including but not limited to any instructions set out in the Seller’s catalogue) as to the storage, commissioning, installation, use and maintenance of the goods or (if there are none) good trade practice regarding the same; (iii) the Buyer altering or repairing the goods without the written consent of the Seller; (iv) the Buyer making further use of the goods after giving notice in accordance with condition 7(c); or (v) the goods differing from their specification as a result of changes made to ensure they comply with applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

c) The Seller is not liable for a defect in the goods unless it is notified to the Seller within 5 days of the date of delivery or, if the defect would not be apparent on reasonable inspection, of the date on which it would become apparent to a reasonable buyer.

d) The Seller shall not be liable for damage in transit, shortage of delivery or non-delivery unless the Buyer shall have given the Seller written notice of such damage, shortage or loss, with reasonable particulars of it within 5 days of receipt of the goods or (in the case of total loss) of receipt of the invoice or other notification of dispatch.

e) If the Seller is liable under these warranties then (subject to condition 7(j)) the Seller’s only obligation is, at its option, to make good any shortage or non-delivery; replace or repair any goods which are damaged or defective; or refund to the Buyer the amount paid by the Buyer for the goods that are the subject of the claim.

f) Except as expressly set out in these conditions, all conditions, warranties and representations, expressed or implied by statute, common law or otherwise, in relation to the goods are excluded.

g) The Seller is not liable to the Buyer, whether for negligence, breach of contract, misrepresentation or otherwise, for: (i) loss or damage incurred by the Buyer as a result of third party claims; or (ii) indirect or consequential damage suffered by the Buyer, including, without limitation, loss of goodwill, business opportunity or anticipated savings; or (iii) economic losses including without limitation loss of GeoGrow Ltd Company Registration 8168956 ● Registered Office 102/105 Lichfield Street, Tamworth, B79 7QB ● VAT 252973483

i) The Seller’s prices are determined on the basis of the liability limits in this condition. The Buyer may by written notice to the seller request the Seller to agree a higher limit of liability provided insurance cover can be obtained for that higher limit. j) Nothing in these conditions shall operate to exclude or restrict the Seller’s liability for death or personal injury resulting from negligence, or breach of the obligations arising from section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979, or for fraud/deceit.

​

Clause 9: Proprietary Information – All information of a confidential nature which the Seller has divulged or may divulge to the Buyer and any information relating to the Seller’s business, products or processes which may have come or may come into the possession of the Buyer in the course of quoting and/or carrying out the order, shall be treated by the Buyer in confidence and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Seller, be disclosed to any third parties.

(b) The Seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage sustained by any goods left with the Seller, howsoever caused, and whether or not attributable to negligence on the part of the Seller or negligence or wilful default on the part of any servant or agent of the Seller.

​

Clause 12: Orders for Multiple Goods – Notwithstanding that the Buyer may, in a single order purchase several different products, each product shall be construed as forming a separate contract, and failure to supply any of these shall not constitute a breach of contract in respect of the other items.

Payment shall be made by the Buyer, net cash, not later than the last day of the month following the date of the invoice. Without prejudice to any other rights of the Seller, interest will be payable on all overdue accounts until the date of actual payment at the rate of 5% per annum above the base rate from time to time of the Seller’s bankers. Time for payment will be of the essence of the contract, notwithstanding that property in the goods has not passed to the Buyer.

​

Clause 16: Passing of Title in Goods Supplied – (a) Upon delivery of the goods, the Buyer shall hold the goods solely as bailee for the Seller, and the goods shall remain the property of the Seller until such time as the Buyer shall have paid to the Seller, (i) the full purchase price of all goods supplied under the contract and (ii) all amounts done under any other contract with the Seller. Payment shall mean payment in cash, and acceptance of a cheque shall constitute conditional payment only until such cheque has been cleared and cash received.
