Orders
The Company reserves the right to decline to trade with any company or person or to impose reasonable conditions prior to accepting any order (such as, by way of example, the provision of a valid landline phone number or the prior receipt of cleared funds by the Company) where the Company considers it reasonably necessary for security or fraud prevention purposes.
To avoid duplication, written confirmation of telephone orders must be clearly marked ‘Confirmation only’. The Company will not accept liability for orders not so marked and duplicate orders will be charged accordingly. Once accepted, no order may be cancelled without the prior written agreement of a director of the Company. Orders for Goods are accepted by the Company by dispatching the Goods provided, however, that dispatch will not be acceptance where the price for the Supplies has been incorrectly quoted or referenced by the Customer in its order. At the date of issue of these Conditions the following Small Order Handling Charges apply:
A. In relation to all orders placed by account holding customers and by non account customers
Orders up to £75.00 (ex VAT) – charge £7.95 (ex VAT);
Orders Over £75.00 – Free Delivery
The Company reserves the right to increase or re-classify these charges at any time, including in the event that its costs of delivery increase.
Please note that an additional charge of up to £40.00 (+VAT) for larger items such as cabinets, large containers and some bulky items.
Delivery
The Company will use all reasonable endeavours to dispatch Goods ordered before 3pm Monday to Friday on the same day (this only applies to stock lines and will be confirmed at the time of ordering). Such deliveries are usually offered free of charge but may be subject to the handling charges referred to above. The Company reserves the right generally to change its policy on charges for delivery at any time and to pass on any fuel surcharges imposed on it. The Company reserves the right to levy a delivery and/or handling charge in the amount notified to the Customer prior to dispatch for delivery of heavy or bulky items. For urgent deliveries the Company offers a special next day delivery service, the details and cost of which are referred to in condition 6 above.
The Customer may request delivery or performance by instalments for up to 12 months from the date of order.
The Company reserves the right to deliver or perform by instalments. Failure to meet a delivery or performance date where deliveries or performance are by instalment shall not prevent or restrict the Company from making further deliveries or rendering subsequent performance under the relevant Contract by instalment.
Delivery will be made to the address specified by the Customer.
The Company may use any method of delivery available to it. The Company will use reasonable endeavours to meet delivery and/or performance estimates but, in no circumstances shall it be liable to compensate the Customer for non-delivery, non-performance or late delivery or performance. Time for delivery and/or performance will not be of the essence.
The Company reserves the right to delay dispatch for a number of reasons, including to perform any necessary credit or anti-fraud checks or procedures or to ensure that payment has been received in cleared funds in full. Where dispatch is delayed for such reasons the Company will use reasonable endeavours to inform the Customer.
Inspection, Defects and Non-Delivery
The Customer must inspect the Supplies as soon as is reasonably practicable after delivery or, in the case of Services, performance and, the Company shall not be liable for any defect in the Supplies unless written notice is given to the Company within 10 days of such date. The Company does not write software comprised in the Goods and it is the Customer’s responsibility to check for the presence of computer viruses before the Goods are used. The quantity of any consignment of Goods, as recorded by the Company upon dispatch from the Company’s place of business, shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity received by the Customer on delivery, unless the Customer can provide conclusive evidence to the contrary. The Company will not be liable for any non-delivery of Goods or non-performance of Services unless written notice is given to the Company within 5 days of the date when Goods should have been delivered or the Services performed in the ordinary course of events. Subject to 16(i) below, any liability of the Company for non-delivery or non performance or for Goods notified as defective on delivery or Services notified as defective following performance in accordance with this Condition will be limited to replacing the Goods or re-performing the Services within a reasonable time or to refunding the price they paid in respect of such Supplies.
Returns
Except as detailed below, no order can be cancelled or accepted for credit without the prior written agreement of the Company. If cancellation/credit is accepted by the Company, the Customer must obtain a returns authorisation number from the Company prior to returning the Goods. Goods must then be returned, at the Customer’s risk and expense, for receipt by the Company within 7 days of their delivery by the Company and must be undamaged, in re-saleable condition and in original packaging (which shall include any of the Company’s outer packaging). The Customer should return the Goods to “The Returns Department, Wise Safety Ltd, Unit 5, Wheldon Road, Speke Approach, Widnes, WA8 8FW” quoting the Customer’s account number, postcode and order number. The Customer is responsible for returning Goods to the Company and for providing proof of delivery of such return.
Certain Goods are excluded from this right of return, including bare root hedging, printed logoed clothing and special signs. Goods returned after 7 days as ‘unwanted’ or ‘incorrectly ordered’ may be accepted at the discretion of the Company but will be subject to a restocking fee of 30% of the invoice value of the Goods.
Goods that consist of specially constructed or contain any of the hazardous substances referred to in the Directive 2002/95/EC on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical or Electronic Equipment may not be returned under this Condition.
