Terms & Conditions
END DESIGN LIMITED CONDITIONS OF SALE
DEFINITIONS
"END
DESIGN" means End Design Limited, Unit 37 Bookham Industrial Park,
Church Road, Bookham, Leatherhead, Surrey, KT23 3EU. The "BUYER" means
any person, firm, or company that buys or agrees to buy goods from End
Design. "GOODS" means the articles (including any instalment of the
articles or parts for them) ordered by the Buyer from End Design.
"CONDITIONS" mean these conditions of sale together with any special
terms and conditions agreed in writing by End Design and the Buyer.
CONDITIONS APPLICABLE
The
Buyer's order is accepted upon and subject to these Conditions only to
the exclusion of all other terms and conditions subject to which the
Buyer's order is made or purported to be made. No variation to these
Conditions shall be binding unless agreed in writing by End Design.
ORDERS AND SPECIFICATIONS
No
order submitted by the Buyer shall be deemed to be accepted by End
Design unless and until confirmed in writing by End Design's authorised
representative. The quantity, quality and description and any
specification for the Goods shall be those set out in End Design's
quotation (if accepted by the Buyer) or the Buyer's order (if accepted
by End Design). End Design reserves the right to make any changes in
the specifications for the Goods which are required to conform with any
applicable safety or other statutory requirements or, if the Goods are
supplied to End Design's specification, which do not materially affect
their quality or performance. The Buyer shall indemnify and keep
indemnified End Design against all claims, costs, damages and expenses
incurred by or for which End Design may become liable by carrying out
any work required to be done on or to the Goods in accordance with the
requirements or specifications of the Buyer which results in any claim
for infringement of any intellectual property rights vested in another
person, firm or company.
PRICES
The price is that
quoted by End Design and is valid for 28 days or until earlier
acceptance by the Buyer. Quoted prices are "ex works" and exclusive of
Value Added Tax and other duty levy or tax assessed against the Goods by
any Government or other authority. Any prices quoted may (unless
otherwise stated in the quotation) be varied by End Design in accordance
with cost variations.
PAYMENT TERMS
Strictly net cash
with order unless a credit account has been established with End
Design. Where a credit account has been established with End Design,
payment made for each instalment of Goods delivered within 30 days after
delivery (whether the Goods are whole or only part of the Goods
ordered) and the time of payment of the price shall be of the essence.
If the Buyer fails to make any payment on the due date, then without
prejudice to End Design's other rights or remedies, End Design shall be
entitled to:-
(a) charge interest at 4% over the Barclays Bank PLC.
Base rate from time to time on any payment that is overdue until actual
payment (both before and after any judgement). (b) to cancel the
contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Buyer and (c) to
appropriate any payment made by the Buyer to such of the Goods (or the
Goods supplied under any other contract between the Buyer and End
Design) as End Design may think fit.
DELIVERY
Any time
or date quoted by End Design for delivery is given and intended as an
estimate only. Whilst every endeavour will be made to meet an estimated
time of delivery for delivery, End Design shall not be liable to make
good any damage or loss whether arising directly or indirectly out of
delay in delivery. End Design reserve the right to deliver by
instalments against any order. Each delivery shall constitute a
separate contract and End Design's failure to deliver any one or more
instalments in accordance with the conditions, or any claim by the Buyer
in respect of any one or more instalments, shall not entitle the Buyer
to treat the contract as a whole as repudiated. Where End Design
arranges for delivery to the Buyer's address, the carrier is deemed to
be the Buyer's agent. Non-delivery must be reported immediately in
writing to End Design and the carriers within 7 days of the date of
despatch.
RISK
(A) Risk of damage to or loss of the
Goods shall pass to the Buyer at the time of delivery of the Goods. (B)
Delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to take place at the time the same
are posted by End Design in a package addressed to the Buyer, placed in
the hands of any delivery agent or service or, if the Buyer collects
the Goods, when End Design notifies the Buyer that they are available
for collection.
OWNERSHIP
Notwithstanding delivery and
the passing of risk in the Goods, legal and equitable ownership of the
Goods shall remain with End Design until the price of the Goods and all
other goods agreed to be sold by End Design to the Buyer, for which
payment is then due, has been paid in full. Until that time the Buyer
shall:- (a) hold the Goods as End Design's fiduciary agent and Bailee
only. (b) keep the Goods separate from those of the Buyer and third
parties and properly stored, protected, insured and identified as End
Design's property. (c) be entitled to resell or use the Goods in the
ordinary course of its business but shall account to End Design for the
proceeds of such sale (including insurance proceeds).
End Design
may recover the purchase price notwithstanding the fact that ownership
has not passed, and the Buyer shall not be entitled to pledge or in any
way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Goods
which remain the property of End Design, and, if it does so, all monies
owing by the Buyer to End Design shall (without prejudice to any other
rights or remedies of End Design) become due and payable immediately.
ENTRY RIGHTS
Until
property in the Goods passes to the Buyer, End Design shall be entitled
at any time to require the Buyer to deliver up the Goods and, if the
Buyer fails to do so forthwith, to enter any premises where the Goods
are kept to take possession thereof.
WARRANTY
Any
Goods supplied by End Design which contain defects of materials or
workmanship will at the option of End Design be replaced or repaired
free of charge provided that:-

within one month of the date of purchase (b) the Goods are returned to

of death or personal injury caused by End Design's negligence, in no
circumstances shall End Design be liable for consequential loss or
damage (including loss of profit or otherwise) of any nature in relation
to the supply of the Goods, or their use or resale by the Buyer.
FORCE MAJEURE
End
Design will not be liable to the Buyer or deemed to be in breach of
contract because of any delay or non-performance directly or indirectly
due to any cause beyond End Design's reasonable control including
(without limitation) lack of adequate instructions from the Buyer,
Governmental regulations or requirements, Acts of God, unavailability of
materials, work stoppages, strikes, slow-downs, boycotts or other
industrial action and in such a case may wholly or partially suspend
shipment of Goods.
USE OF GOODS
The Buyer acknowledges
that he is exclusively responsible for detailing the specification for
all goods ordered from End Design, for ascertaining the use to which

purpose.

100% for stock held by End Design pending shipment, up to 100% for items
of which End Design cannot cancel delivery with End Design's supplier
and up to 50% for the remaining balance. In particular (but without
limitation), in the event of cancellation by the Buyer of part only of
the order, End Design shall be entitled to re-calculate the price of the
uncancelled part of the order as if it constituted the whole order, and
re-invoice the Buyer accordingly.

without End Design's prior consent in writing and must be returned at
the Buyers expense in their original condition and packaging.

purposes of amalgamation or reconstruction); (b) an encumbrancer takes
possession, or a receiver is appointed, of any of the property or assets
of the Buyer; or (c) the Buyer ceases, or threatens to cease, to carry
on business; or (d) End Design reasonably apprehends that any of the
events mentioned above is about to occur in relation to the Buyer and
notifies the Buyer accordingly and if the Goods have been delivered but
not paid for the price shall become immediately due and payable not
withstanding any previous agreement or arrangement to the contrary.

the event of the Goods being exported out of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland it shall be the responsibility of the
Buyer to ensure that the Goods comply with all legal requirements and
standards in the countries to which the same are exported and no
warranties are made by End Design in this respect and no liability will
be accepted by End Design if the Goods are not permitted in the country
concerned.
