Terms and Conditions of Sale of BMS Technologies

Definitions

"the Company" shall refer to BMS Technologies Ltd. "the Customer" refers to the person, firm or company with whom or with which the Company contracts subject to these Conditions. "Contract" refers to the contract made or to be made between the Company and the Customer subject to these Conditions. "Products" shall mean any articles, things, products or services to be supplied by the Company to the Customer under the Contract.

1. General

The Company's Conditions of Sale shall apply to and govern any Contract between the Company and the Customer to the exclusion of any condition contained on or in any order form, letter, receipt acknowledgement, or other document emanating from the Customer. No variation of these Terms and Conditions shall be effective unless expressly agreed by the Company in writing and only then with an endorsed signature of a Director of the Company.

These Terms and Conditions shall supersede all previous Terms and Conditions existing between the Company and the Customer including any Terms and Conditions which the Customer may purport to apply. This agreement shall not be cancelled except with the prior agreement of the Company.

2. Prices

Any quotation provided by the Company, whether written or oral, shall be deemed to incorporate these Terms and Conditions of Sale. All prices quoted are strictly net, unless otherwise quoted. Whilst every endeavour will be made to maintain the prices quoted, the Company maintains the right to change price without prior notice, including in order to cover currency fluctuations which increase the cost to the Company; extra costs incurred as a result of cancellation, alteration, postponement or re-scheduling of orders; FOB UK delivery in non-returnable packing; carriage at the Customer's request and expense; multi-consignment delivery and separate invoicing; and import licensing obtained at the Customer's expense for non-UK destinations.

3. Availability / Storage

The Company shall notify the Customer in the acknowledgement of order of the date upon which the Products will be provided. Any dates given by the Company shall be an estimate only. Time shall not be of the essence of this Contract. The Company will use its best endeavours to deliver by the date specified but shall be under no liability whatsoever for delay or consequence thereof, however caused. When delivery is delayed for reasons attributed to the Customer, storage and other costs will be charged.

4. Risk

Where the Contract provides for supply of Products: risk shall pass to the Customer when the Products leave the premises of the Company (or those of the Company's supplier where delivery is effected direct from the premises of the Supplier) for delivery to the Customer notwithstanding that the Company may arrange for delivery, and pending disposal the Customer shall keep the Products insured in the amount of the price.

5. Change of Product Specifications

The Customer indemnifies the Company against discontinuing any Product or making design changes which they believe are necessary.

6. Scheduled Delivery

Orders can only be accepted for scheduled delivery where the line value of each shipment is economically viable. Customers must accept delivery of the total order within one year of the order date. Suspension of deliveries requires thirty days written notice and is limited to a maximum 60-day period. Cancellation of a schedule or part schedule will be invoiced at 30% of the cost of the Products involved.

7. Technical Advice

No liability shall result from Products that have been used by the Customer in any way at variance with the manufacturer's instructions. Any technical advice given by the Company shall not amount to a warranty as to fitness for any purpose, other than in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.

8. Payment Terms and Late Payment

Payment of all sums due to the Company shall be made in full within 30 days of the date of the invoice unless specified otherwise on the quotation ("the Due Date"). Where no payment period is otherwise agreed, payment shall become due 30 days after the Customer receives the invoice, or 30 days after the date on which the Products are supplied, whichever is the later. Time for payment shall be of the essence in the Contract. In default of payment by the Due Date the Company may suspend all work and further deliveries and may appropriate any payment received as it in its absolute discretion sees fit.

Without prejudice to any other right or remedy, the Company shall be entitled to claim the remedies provided by the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 on all overdue sums, namely:

  1. Statutory interest on the unpaid debt at 8% per annum above the Bank of England base rate, accruing daily from the Due Date until payment is received in full;
  2. Fixed compensation added to the balance of each overdue invoice towards recovery costs, being £40.00 where the debt is up to £999.99, £70.00 where the debt is £1,000.00 to £9,999.99, and £100.00 where the debt is £10,000.00 or more; and
  3. Reasonable recovery costs — where the Company's reasonable costs of recovering the debt (including, without limitation, solicitors' fees and debt collection agency charges) exceed the fixed compensation set out above, the Company may recover the difference from the Customer.

9. Retention of Title

Products which are the subject of a Contract shall remain the sole and absolute property of the Company as legal and equitable owner until payment of all sums due to the Company from the Customer on any accounts whatsoever have been received in full by the Company. Where payment is by cheque, payment is not received until the cheque has been honoured. Until property is vested in the Customer, the Customer shall not pledge the Products and shall separately store and mark them as the property of the Company.

The Company shall be entitled to serve notice on the Customer indicating its intention to re-take possession of its Products if the Customer is in breach of payment terms or on the happening of insolvency events including: appointment of a receiver or manager; petition to wind up or liquidate; entering into composition or arrangement with creditors; distress execution; inability to pay debts as defined in the Insolvency Act 1986; or commission of an act of bankruptcy.

10. Shortages

Shortages must be notified both to the Company and the Carrier of the Products within 24 hours of receipt of the Products.

11. Returns

If there is a warranty issue the product must be tested to support the claim, then the Company must be notified by phone or email before the next order. The Company will then exchange these products on delivery of the next order and the warranties will be collected.

12. Guarantees and Warranties

The Company guarantees that subject to the conditions in clause 11, the Company shall replace Products sold by the Company, but only for any items with defects caused by faulty materials or workmanship.

13. Limitation of Liability

The Company shall not incur any liability under the warranty unless promptly notified in writing on discovery with invoice number and date supplied; defective Products are returned carriage prepaid; and examination confirms the defect exists and was not caused by misuse. Liability is limited to replacement or credit for Products returned within 6 months of dispatch. The Company shall not be liable for incidental or consequential damages including loss of goodwill, profits or use. Except for death or personal injury caused by negligence, the Company's entire liability shall be limited to the value of the Contract.

14. Country of Origin

Unless otherwise confirmed, no information contained within any of the Company's publications is to be taken as a representation of the source of origin, manufacture or production of the Products or any part thereof.

15. Quotations

Quotations are dated and are valid for thirty days from that date, unless the Company provides written notice to the Customer that the quotation is withdrawn.

16. Patents and Copyright

Products offered for sale by the Company may be the subject of patents or other such protective devices.

17. Confidentiality

Both the Company and the Customer shall each keep confidentiality and shall not without the prior written consent of the other disclose to any third party any technical or commercial information acquired from the other relating to the Products and the order.

18. Description of Products

If the description of any Products varies from that of the manufacturer's description, the manufacturer's description shall be deemed correct and shall take precedence. Description by the Company is for identification only and shall not constitute a sale by description.

19. Force Majeure

The Company shall have no liability in respect of failure or delay in delivery or in performance of any obligations under the Contract due to any cause outside of the control of the Company.

20. Export Control Regulations

The Company shall in no circumstances be liable for any damage, loss or claim however occasioned by an act or omission on the part of the Customer in contravention of any export control regulations. The Company will not accept orders for Products directly or indirectly destined for countries where a NATO, UN or EU embargo is in force.

21. Termination

Any Contract operates on an order-by-order basis. The Company may by written notice rescind any Contract or suspend delivery on any sum being overdue; breach of any term; or the Customer entering into composition with creditors, bankruptcy, liquidation, receivership, or threat to cease trading.

22. Export Business

These Terms and Conditions of Sale apply to all Export Transactions. All export goods are strictly on a 30-day payment from date of invoice.

23. Assignment

The Company shall be entitled to assign, sub-contract or sub-let this Contract or any part thereof. The Customer shall not be entitled to assign this Contract.

24. Severance

If any term of this Contract shall be adjudged void or unenforceable but would be valid and enforceable if some part or parts were deemed deleted or varied, then such provision shall apply with such modification as shall be necessary to make it valid and effective.

25. Law

All questions relating to any quotations or contracts of sale shall be determined in all respects by the Laws of England and the parties irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the English Courts.

26. Third Party Rights

The Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 is expressly excluded from this Contract.

27. Closure of Account

If the Company has to close any Customer account and redeem any monies owed via a Credit Company, the Customer will be responsible for any of the administration charges involved.
