except that, if no price has been quoted, the price of the Goods and Services shall be as listed in the Company’s price list current at the date of acceptance of the order. If the Goods are supplied for export from the United Kingdom then the Company’s published export price shall apply.

At the time of invoicing a currency/exchange rate correction factor will be applied (if necessary) to the quoted or acknowledged price to take account of any change in the relevant exchange rate between the date of quotation, offer or order acknowledgement and despatch of the Goods, or supply of the Services, to the Purchaser.
5.3 Except for prices stated on the Company’s website, all prices quoted are (unless stated in Writing) valid for thirty days only, subject to earlier acceptance by the Purchaser. The Company reserves the right, by giving notice to the Purchaser at any time before delivery, to increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in cost to the Company which is due to:
5.3.1 any change in delivery dates, quantities or specifications for the Goods/Services which is requested by the Purchaser, or any delay caused by instructions of the Purchaser or failure of the Purchaser to give the Company adequate information or instructions;
5.3.2 any factor beyond the reasonable control of the Company (including but without limitation any foreign exchange fluctuations, currency regulations, alteration of duties, significant increase in the cost of labour and materials or other costs of manufacture).
5.4 The Company aims to ensure that all prices listed on its website are current and correct. Nevertheless, the Company may vary the prices listed on its website at any time. If a variation is made before the Company has accepted the Purchaser’s online order then the Company will notify the Purchaser of that change in price and:
5.4.1 if the new price is lower than the previously listed price then the Company shall charge the Purchaser the lower price (and refund the difference if payment has already been taken); or
5.4.2 if the new price is higher than the previously listed price then the Company shall ask the Purchaser to confirm whether it wishes to proceed with the purchase based on the new price.

5.7 In the event of the Purchaser varying any agreed call-off rate, the Company reserves the right to charge a price appropriate to the changed call-off rate.
6. Payment

Unless otherwise agreed in Writing, the Purchaser shall pay the price of the order (less any discount to which the Purchaser is entitled, but without any other deduction) within 3 days of receiving the Company’s invoice (the “due date”). Final acceptance of the Purchaser’s order by the Company will not become effective until payment of the invoice is received in full.
6.3 The time of payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract. Receipts for payment will be issued only upon request.
6.4 Goods and Services are not supplied on credit terms unless such terms have previously been agreed in Writing by the Company. The Company reserves the right to withdraw any such credit terms at any time.
6.5 Where, by special arrangement, Goods or Services have been supplied under the terms of post-delivery invoicing and the Purchaser fails to make full payment (including any Value Added Tax payable) by the due date, all of the Company’s invoices rendered (or to be rendered) to the Purchaser (whether in respect of the Contract or any other Contract between the Company and the Purchaser) shall become immediately due and payable to the Company. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to:
6.5.1 cancel the Contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Purchaser;
6.5.2 appropriate any payment made by the Purchaser to such of the Goods/Services (or the goods/services supplied under any other contract between the Purchaser and the Company) as the Company may think fit (notwithstanding any purported appropriation by the Purchaser); and
6.5.3 charge the Purchaser interest and compensation (both before and after any judgement) on the amount unpaid in accordance with the provisions of The Late Payment of Commercial Debt Regulations (2002).

7.5 Where the Goods to be delivered are in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by the Company to deliver any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Purchaser to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.
7.6 If the Company fails to deliver the Goods (or any instalment) or provide the Services (or any part thereof) for any reason other than any cause beyond the Company’s reasonable control or the Purchaser’s fault, and the Company is accordingly liable to the Purchaser, then the Company’s liability for any loss, damage or expense incurred or suffered by the Purchaser shall be limited to the price of the Goods/Services not delivered.
7.7 If the Purchaser fails to take delivery of the Goods or fails to give the Company adequate delivery instructions at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond the Purchaser’s reasonable control or by reason of the Company’s fault) then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Company, the Company may:
7.7.1 store the Goods until actual delivery and charge the Purchaser for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage; or
7.7.2 sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to the Purchaser for the excess over the price under the Contract or charge the Purchaser for any shortfall below the price under the Contract.
7.8 Where the Company arranges carriage and/or insurance of the Goods for transit to the Purchaser the Company shall be deemed to be acting solely as agent of the Purchaser and Sections 32(2) & (3) of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 shall not apply; and where the Goods are exported the Purchaser shall be responsible for complying with any legislation or regulations governing the importation of Goods into the country of destination and for the payment of any duties.

7.10 Unless otherwise agreed in Writing, the Company reserves the right to deliver up to 2% more or less than the total number of items stated in the Purchaser’s order and such delivery shall satisfy the said order subject to an appropriate adjustment by the Company to the price payable for the Goods.
7.11 Any claim by the Purchaser in respect of any alleged short delivery or discrepancy in delivery must be notified to the Company by notice in Writing by the Purchaser within 7 days of the receipt of the Goods. The Company will not accept any claim in respect of any alleged shortage or discrepancy after this time.

The Company will make reasonable efforts to notify the Purchaser of longer deliver times for Special Orders.

9.6 The Company shall be entitled to recover the invoice price (plus VAT if applicable) not withstanding that property in any of the Goods has not passed from the Company.
9.7 Until such times as the property in the Goods passes to the Purchaser and are still in existence the Company shall be entitled at any time to require the Purchaser to deliver up the Goods to the Company and, if the Purchaser fails to do so forthwith, the Company shall be entitled upon reasonable notice to enter upon any premises of the Purchaser where the Goods are stored and repossess the Goods. In the event that the Goods are in the possession of a third party, the Purchaser shall use its best endeavours to procure the consent and co-operation of such third party to facilitate re-possession of the Goods by the Company.
