Submitting an Order does not mean that We have accepted it.

 

(3) There is a minimum order value of £200 per order of Goods. We reserve the right to change our minimum order value without notice although We will endeavour to give the Customer notice of any proposed changes in this respect.

 

(4) In addition to the provisions of the above Clause, if the Customer wishes to place their first Order for Goods with Us which amounts to less than the minimum order value, We may at Our sole discretion accept the order if we deem it financially viable. This will apply to first orders only.

 

(5) Once your Order is received by Us, we will confirm and accept the Order in writing by replying to the given email and sending you an electronic Invoice. The Invoice will confirm the details of the Order, an Order number, and the amount payable by you in respect of your Order, together with any delivery or other charges applicable to the Order.

 

(6) We will endeavour to confirm an Order and issue the Customer an Invoice within 24 hours of receipt by Us, or less if the Order is received within normal working hours. However, please allow up to 48 hours for Us to check and process the Order, and up to 72 hours where an Order is placed over a weekend or public holiday.

 

(7) Please check the details set out in the Invoice as We shall not be responsible for any errors or missing information once the Order is confirmed by you. Please quote the Order number in all subsequent correspondence with Us relating to the Order.

 

(8) Once you have checked the Order details that We have are correct, you will be able to pay online via the invoice you receive. Payment must be made within 7 days of receipt of the Invoice. Once your Invoice is paid, then your Products will be dispatched to you.

 

(9) Our Lead time for all wholesale orders will be 11 – 14 Business days from payment in full. If all Goods ordered are in stock and available, Lead time may be reduced.

 

(10) Lead time is exclusive of transportation/delivery times. Please see Clause 7 for delivery terms.

 

(11) If We are unable to supply you with any particular Goods ordered, or if We are unable to comply with the time scale set out in your Order, We will inform you of this by email as soon as is reasonably practicable upon becoming aware of any such issues, and We will not process the Order unless, and until you confirm to Us by email that you wish for Us to proceed and the details of any changes required to be made to your Order. If We are able to, We will offer you the nearest alternative or if you prefer, We will refund you the full amount that you have paid in respect of the relevant Goods as soon as is reasonably practicable, where you have already paid for the Goods.

 

(12) Once the Goods are ready to be dispatched, We will inform you by email.

 

(13) We reserve the right to refuse or decline any Order at Our sole discretion.

 

 

5. Price

(1) The price of the Goods is set out in our Wholesale catalogue or the Invoice at the date of your order or such other price as we may agree in writing.

 

(2) If the cost of the Goods to us increases due to any factor beyond our control including, but not limited to, material costs, labour costs, alteration of exchange rates or duties, we can increase the Price prior to delivery.

 

(3) Any increase in the Price under the Clause above will only take place after we have told you about it and will not affect any order that you have already placed.

 

(4) You may be entitled to discounts. Any and all discounts will be at our discretion.

 

(5) Delivery charges are not included in the price of Goods. Delivery charges will be presented as a separate item in the Invoice we send you.

 

(6) It is always possible that, despite Our best efforts, some of the Goods or delivery costs may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of Our dispatch procedures so that, where the Goods’ correct price or the delivery cost is less than Our stated price, We will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Goods to you. If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, We do not have to provide the Goods or send them to you at the incorrect (lower) price. If the Goods' correct price or the delivery cost is higher than the price stated on Our Site or in these Terms, We will contact you as soon as possible to tell you about the error and We will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Goods at the correct price or amending your delivery specification (where the mispricing relates to delivery charges) or cancelling your Order. We will not process your Order until We have your instructions. If we cannot contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, We will treat the Order as cancelled and notify you in writing. We will refund you the full amount paid by you as soon as is reasonable if you have already made a payment to Us.

7. Delivery

(8) If the Order delivery address is located within a 30-mile radius of Marlborough Wiltshire, We can deliver to you at a rate of 50 pence per mile regardless of the weight and size of the order. This option will lessen the risk of problems during delivery.

(13) You will receive a notification from the courier on the morning of delivery with a one hour delivery window.

 

(14) If We are not able to deliver the whole of the Order at one time due to a shortage of stock, We will ship the Order in instalments. You will be notified in this instance and We will not charge you extra delivery costs for this. However, if you ask Us to deliver the Order in instalments, We may charge you extra delivery costs. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract governed by these Terms.

 

(15) If no one is available at the delivery address (or at any alternative address notified by you when placing the Order) to take delivery of the Goods, the courier will leave you a note at the address to confirm that they have attempted to deliver the Goods and requesting that you contact them to rearrange delivery.

 

(16) Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. We will not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by any circumstance beyond our control or your failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

 

(17) The Order will be completed, and the Goods are your responsibility and owned by you from the point at which We or the courier first attempt delivery, whether you (or any nominated alternative) take delivery or not.

(2) Either of us can cancel the order for any reason prior to your acceptance (or rejection) of the quotation.

(4) As a gesture of goodwill, however, the Order or part of it may be cancelled at any point before Our dispatch of the Goods and any amounts paid by you will be refunded.

(7) You bear the risk and cost of returning the Goods unless the Goods are being returned due to reasons described in Clause 8(2).
