the buyer shall be considered acceptance of these conditions.
These conditions may not be modified or varied unless Construction Supplies (Hardware) Limited
hereinafter referred to as `the Company’ agrees in writing and the Company shall not be deemed to
accept such other conditions nor waive any of these conditions by failing to object to provisions
contained in any purchase order or other communication from the buyer. No person has authority on
behalf of the Company to vary any condition except a Director or Company Secretary and then only
in writing by a Director or the Secretary.
2 VALIDITY OF QUOTATION The Company reserves the right to refuse the buyer’s acceptance of a
quotation unless such a quotation is stated to be open for a specific period and is not withdrawn in
such period. No binding contract shall be created by the acceptance by the buyer of the Company’s
quotation until such notice of acceptance of the offer has been given in writing which shall have
been signed by the Company’s duly authorised representative, or the Company has indicated its
acceptance of the offer by taking delivery or part delivery of the goods. In the event that no
quotation is given by the Company and it has received an order from the buyer all deliveries are
made subject to these conditions of sale.
3 NEW ACCOUNTS Prospective customers wishing to open a credit account are requested to
furnish three trade references and one Banker’s reference. Until the opening of a credit account
has been confirmed delivery will not be made until after the references have proved acceptable.
4 SETTLEMENT TERMS Unless otherwise agreed in writing all accounts are payable on a strict
Nett Monthly basis. No receipts will be issued against Payments by cheque unless specifically
requested.
The Company at its discretion reserves the right to charge interest on accounts outstanding beyond
the time specified in this condition. The rate of interest shall be 3% per annum over National
Westminster Bank base lending rate. The Company can exercise this right in addition to any other
rights it may have in respect of the goods or non-payment.
Where the contract is to be or may be fulfilled in separate instalments, deliveries of part payments
for each such instalment delivered shall be made as if the same constitutes a separate contract.
5 PRICES Unless otherwise agreed in writing all orders are executed subject to prices and any
relevant discounts ruling at the date of despatch and any price list of the Company whether published
or not shall affect the right of the Company to charge for goods in accordance with this clause.
All prices are subject to the addition of Value Added Tax at the appropriate rate at the date of
despatch.
6 CREDIT Any contract shall be subject to the Company being satisfied as to the buyer’s credit
worthiness and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing the Company may in its absolute
discretion having informed the buyer that the goods are ready for delivery, refrain from delivering
the goods until such time as the buyer tenders the purchase money to the Company in a form satisfactory
to the Company.
7 ORDERS Orders sent in confirmation of telephone instructions should be clearly marked as such
otherwise any additional expense incurred by the Company as a result of duplication of order, will be
charged to the buyer.
8 DELIVERY Delivery dates are promises given in good faith by the Company to indicate estimated
delivery times but shall not amount to any contractual obligation to delivery at the time stated. No
liability for direct consequential loss or damage arising from delay in delivery will be accepted by
the Company.
9 TITLE TO GOODS The Company and the buyer expressly agree that until the Company has been
paid in full for the goods supplied the goods remain the property of the Company, although the risk
therein passes to the buyer at the point when the delivery is made. The Company may recover those
goods at any time from the buyer in his possession if the Company judges that the amount outstanding
from the buyer on the general statement of account between the parties is in excess of the credit
limit the Company is willing to accord the buyer, and for that purpose the Company’s servant and
agents may enter upon any land or building upon which the goods are situated. If the buyer incorporates
such goods into other products, with the addition of his goods or those of others, or uses such goods
as materials for other products, with or without such addition the property in those other products
is upon such incorporation or use ipso facto transferred to the Company and the buyer as bailee of them
for the Company will store the same for the Company in a proper manner without charge to the Company.
The buyer has the right to dispose of the goods or such other products in the course of his business
for the account of the Company and to pass good title to the goods or the products to his customer
being a bona fide purchaser of value without notice of the Company’s rights.
In the event of such disposal the buyer has the fiduciary duty to the Company to account to the Company
for the proceeds but may retain therefrom an excess of such proceeds over the amount outstanding and
due to the Company, and the Company has the additional right to recover the buyer’s price from the
buyer’s customer to the extent unpaid; if the Company avails itself of this right, it will account to
the buyer for any excess less any expenses incurred by effecting recovery.
10 CARRIAGE CHARGE The Company makes a nominal charge towards delivery costs for all orders.
Where goods are specially ordered from manufacturers and a charge is levied, the Company reserves the
right to recover this charge from the buyer.
11 DAMAGE IN TRANSIT AND SHORTAGES ETC The Company will repair or replace free of charge goods
damaged in transit provided that the Company receive written notification of such damage within three
days of delivery. Goods received in a damaged or unsatisfactory condition must be signed for as such.
On receipt, goods should be checked with the advice note enclosed with the goods. Shortage claims and
delivery discrepancies will only be considered if the Company receive notification of such shortage
within three days of delivery, failing which no liability will be admitted. The packing and contents
should be retained for inspection.
12 RETURNS Goods correctly supplied may not be returned without the Company’s agreement and
nominal handling charge will be made in such cases. Goods so returned must be accompanied by a packing
note stating the Company’s Delivery Note number and date thereof together with the reason for return.
Any article which has been supplied to special requirements cannot be accepted for credit under any
circumstances, and other instances, a restocking charge may be imposed.

giving the buyer the benefit of any guarantee or warranty given by the manufacturer of such goods.
The Company shall not be under any further liability howsoever arising and all conditions and warranties
expressed or implied by or under statue custom or trade usage and hereby expressly excluded.

arrangement with or for the benefit of his creditors or commits any act of bankruptcy or, being a
limited Company, has a Receiver appointed of its undertaking or assets or any part thereof or for
the purposes of reconstruction or amalgamation without insolvency, goes into liquidation, the Company
