  2. Risk and Title
  1. General – Unless previously withdrawn, our proposal is open for acceptance within thirty days from date of proposal only, or for such other period as is stated in our quotation. Any order shall not be binding on us unless, and until, such an order shall have been accepted by us in writing. The placing of an order implies acceptance of the following terms and conditions, upon which alone such an order is accepted, and no purported terms and condition introduced by you, which is inconsistent with any of these conditions, shall have any effect and these conditions alone shall, in all circumstances, prevail.
  2. Price – Standard Products: All standard catalogue products will be invoiced at prices ruling at the end of despatch. Any clerical errors are subject to correction.
  3. Acceptance – The acceptance of our proposal must be accompanied by sufficient information to enable us to proceed with the order forthwith otherwise we shall be at liberty to amend the proposal prices to cover any increases in cost which have taken place after acceptance, and also to amend any estimated delivery date resulting from such delays. Any samples submitted to you and not returned to our works within one month from date of receipt shall be paid for by you.

Site specific drawings can be supplied, price on application.
  6. Inspection and tests – Our products are carefully inspected, and where practicable, submitted to our standard tests at our works before despatch. If tests other than those specified in our proposal, or tests in the presence of you or your representative are required, these will be charged for. In the event of any delay on your part in attending such tests after seven days notice that we are ready, the tests will be performed in your absence and shall be deemed to have been made in your presence.
  7. Performance – We will accept no liability for failure to attain any performance figures quoted by us unless we have specifically guaranteed them, subject to any tolerances specified or agreed to by us, in an agreed sum as liquidated damages. If the performance figures obtained on any test provided for in the contract are outside the acceptance limits specified therein, you will be entitled to reject the goods. Before you become entitled to claim liquidated damages or to reject the goods we are to be given reasonable time and opportunity to rectify their performance. If you become entitled to reject the goods, we will repay to you any sum paid by you to us on account of the contract price thereof and any sum that may have accrued due to you in respect of delay in despatch under Clause 9 up to the date of such rejection. You assume responsibility that goods stipulated by you are sufficient or suitable for your purpose save in as far as your stipulations are in accordance with our advice.

In all cases, whether a time be quoted for despatch or not, the time for despatch shall be extended by a reasonable period if delay in despatch is caused by instructions or lack of instructions from you, or by industrial dispute, or by any cause whatsoever beyond our reasonable control.

  12. Terms of Payment – Terms of payment, unless otherwise notified are CASH IN FULL WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM END OF MONTH. NO DISCOUNT IS ALLOWED. If, in the opinion of the Company, the financial conditions of the Purchaser at any time does not justify continuance of production or shipment on the terms of payment previously agreed in writing, the Company may require full or partial payment in advance. The Company shall have no obligation to state any reason therefore. Interim payments become due as deliveries are made. VAT will be charged on all products and services provided by Entrotec. If despatch is delayed by the Purchaser, payments shall become due from date when the Company is ready to despatch goods. Any liability on our part is subject to the terms of payment and all your other obligations to us under the contract being strictly observed.
