2THE CONTRACT

2.1         Each Contract will be performed on a business to business basis, and the Goods and/or Services will be provided by Bradbury for business purposes only.
2.2         These Conditions shall apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any terms or conditions that the Buyer seeks to impose or incorporate whether contained, or referred to, in any purchase order, confirmation of order, specification, acceptance of a quotation or other document, or which may be implied by law, trade custom, practice or course of dealing. No terms or conditions endorsed on, delivered with, or contained in any purchase order, confirmation of order, acceptance of a quotation or specification or other document produced by the Buyer will form part of the Contract simply by reference to any such document in the Contract.
2.3         Unless Bradbury has expressly confirmed otherwise in writing, any quotation and/or specification that it may issue from time to time will be entirely non- binding, and will not constitute an offer for the supply of the Goods and/or Services.
2.4         The Order constitutes an offer by the Buyer to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Conditions. The Buyer is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order and any specification submitted by the Buyer are complete and accurate.
2.5         Before the Order is accepted in accordance with Condition 2.6, Bradbury may amend any specification submitted by the Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, any amendment made to the specification by Bradbury in accordance with this Condition 2.5 shall not constitute an offer for the supply of the Goods and/or Services.
2.6         Subject to Condition 2.7, the Order will be deemed to be accepted when Bradbury issues a written acceptance of the Order, or commences the supply of the Goods and/or Services (whichever occurs first), at which point the Contract shall come into existence.
 
2.7         Bradbury's acceptance of, and continued performance against, an Order is at all times conditional upon the Buyer providing the necessary information and assistance to enable Bradbury to proceed with the supply of the Goods and/or Services. Bradbury may suspend or cancel an Order, in whole or in part, at any time upon the Buyer failing to promptly provide such information and assistance following request from Bradbury.
2.8         All drawings, photographs, descriptive matter and illustrations, weights, dimensions, specifications, brochures, figures as to performance, catalogues, price lists, advertising matter and other publications issued by Bradbury are by way of identification only and produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the goods and/or services described therein. Their use shall not in any circumstances render any sale a sale by description, nor form part of any Contract or constitute any representation, unless previously agreed in writing.
2.9         Bradbury may, acting reasonably in such regard, update and amend any Specification, including to the extent required to comply with any law, regulation, code of practice or any other obligation applying to the activities of Bradbury under the Contract.
2.10 No variation of these Conditions shall have effect unless agreed in writing by a director of Bradbury. Bradbury shall not be bound by, or liable for, any variation of any Contract which is not contained in a document duly signed on Bradbury's behalf.

3.CANCELLATIONS AND/OR AMENDMENTS

3.1         No cancellation or amendment of any Order by the Buyer shall be effective unless made in writing, and accepted in writing by Bradbury, who may, at its sole option, refuse to accept any cancellation or amendment.
3.2         Bradbury is not obliged to accept any cancellation or amendment of any Orders for Goods manufactured to special requirements, or for Goods otherwise not normally stocked by Bradbury, or if the manufacture or obtaining by Bradbury of such Goods is already in the process of being completed.

4.DELIVERY

4.1         Deliveries and van space are scheduled within 24 hours of the order being received. Any delivery date or delivery address amendments thereafter, may result in an increase of delivery costs which will be charged to the buyer.
4.2         Delivery of the Goods shall take place at the Delivery Location and will be completed upon the Goods' arrival at the Delivery Location. All costs of delivery at places other than Bradbury's premises shall be borne by the Buyer.
4.3         Any stated delivery times or dates are an estimate only and are not guaranteed. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence.
4.4         Delivery of the Goods may be by instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid for in accordance with the provisions of the Contract, and any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Buyer to cancel any other instalment.
4.5         In circumstances where any change to the Specification is required by the Buyer, and/or where the Buyer fails to provide any necessary information and assistance in accordance with Condition 2.7, the expected time for delivery may be extended by such period as Bradbury deems reasonably necessary (acting reasonably in such regard).
4.6         The Buyer must provide assistance for unloading the Goods at the Delivery Location at its own cost. Prior to the expected date of delivery the Buyer may consult with Bradbury to ascertain the most appropriate method for unloading the Goods. Notwithstanding the above, it remains the Buyer's responsibility to ensure suitable offloading and positioning equipment and labour are available to ensure that the Goods are unloaded in a safe and secure manner, (and, if appropriate, placed adjacent to the aperture to where the Services, if any, are to take place), and are then protected in such a way as to prevent any damage, including arising from site works or exposure to weather conditions. If Bradbury is performing Services, any damage found by Bradbury upon a pre-installation inspection will be chargeable and, if un-repairable on site, will also incur reasonable abortive, repair, re-attendance, and/or re-delivery charges (as applicable), payable by the Buyer following written agreement in the form of an Order in respect of such remedial work.
4.7         Where the Contract provides for delivery of the Goods to the Delivery Location, the total time allowed for unloading in accordance with Condition 4.5 is thirty (30) minutes (the Demurrage). If the actual time taken exceeds the Demurrage, the Buyer may be charged additional fees, at the rate of £50 per hour or part thereof, in accordance with prevailing RHA guidelines.
4.8  Any installation services provided by Bradbury on or after delivery of the Goods will be carried out on Working Days between the hours of 07:00 and 18:00 only. If the Buyer requires Bradbury to perform any Services outside of these hours, Bradbury will charge the Buyer an enhanced rate, as advised in writing prior to the performance of such Services.
4.9         If, for any reason, the Buyer fails to take delivery of the Goods when they are made ready by Bradbury, or if Bradbury is unable to deliver the Goods on the expected delivery date due to the Buyer failing to provide appropriate instructions, licences, authorisations or access, or otherwise due to site circumstances beyond Bradbury's control:
4.9.1  the Goods will be deemed to have been delivered of the expected delivery date;
4.9.2  all risk in the Goods will pass to the Buyer on the expected delivery date;
4.9.3  Bradbury may store the Goods at the Buyer's cost until the physical delivery of the Goods (including all storage, insurance and, if applicable, re- delivery costs, which may be invoiced on a weekly basis, and immediately payable upon receipt);
and Bradbury shall not be obliged to complete re-delivery of the Goods in such event without written agreement in the form of an Order from the Buyer and, if necessary, until pre-payment in respect of the Order has been received by Bradbury in full cleared funds.
4.10 If, for any of the reasons set out in Conditions 4.4 or 4.8, the Buyer fails to take delivery of the Goods within ten (10) Working Days of Bradbury notifying them that the Goods are ready for delivery:
4.10.1 Bradbury may rescind or terminate the Contract and sell the Goods to a third party; and
4.10.2 the aborted Services, if any, will be chargeable to the Buyer at a rate of 75% of the installation quotation value.
4.11 Bradbury shall not be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss, including: (i) loss of profit; (ii) costs; (iii) damages; or (iv) charges or expenses; arising from any delay in delivery of the Goods and/or performance of the Services, howsoever caused, (even if caused by the Bradbury's negligence), nor shall any delay in delivery of the Goods and/or performance of the Services entitle the Buyer to terminate or rescind the Contract. If Bradbury fails to deliver any Goods pursuant to a Contract, its liability shall be limited to any direct costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer in obtaining replacement goods and/or services of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available (less the price of the Goods and/or Services (as applicable)), provided always that Bradbury shall not be liable for any failure to deliver the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event, or for any of the reasons set out in Conditions 4.4 or 4.8.
4.12 Bradbury accepts no responsibility for any loss or damage to Goods while they are in transit unless they are carried by Bradbury's carrier and the Buyer notifies Bradbury in writing (otherwise than upon the carrier's documents) of any loss or damage in transit within two (2) Working Days of receipt of such Goods.
4.13 Customers collecting product directly from the factory are responsible for checking goods prior to loading onto their own transport and to ensure that the product is adequately protected. Bradbury logistics must be notified of any damage prior to loading.
4.14 Goods shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Buyer if notice of rejection is not received in writing within two (2) Working Days of delivery. Where Bradbury has provided an installation service, this Service is deemed to have been accepted by the Buyer upon the signature of the site job sheet within two (2) Working Days of completion of the Service. Upon such acceptance, the Goods and/or Services shall be deemed to comply with the terms of the Contract in all respects.
 

5        PRICE AND PAYMENT

5.1         Unless otherwise agreed by Bradbury in writing, the price for the Goods and/or Services shall be the price set out in the quotation, which is valid for thirty
(30) days from date of issue. Prices shown on quotations are, unless otherwise stated, exclusive of value added tax and any other applicable duties, levies and/or taxes, which the Buyer will pay in addition to the price when it pays for the Goods and/or Services in accordance with this Condition.
5.2         Unless otherwise agreed, any costs and charges of packaging, insurance and, if applicable, carriage of the Goods shall be charged in addition to the quoted prices.
5.3         Quotations which include a charge-out rate for the performance of the Services are subject to an allowance of one (1) hour for customer site/safety inductions (the Induction Time). Bradbury shall not charge the Buyer, and the Buyer shall not be liable to pay, any fees in connection with the Induction Time, save where the Induction Time exceeds one (1) hour, in which case the Buyer will be charged at the rate of £75 per man per hour, or part thereof, in respect of such additional time.
5.4         Quotations for Services which include installation of the Goods allow, where applicable, a bead of standard colour (white, black or clear) mastic/silicon sealant to be run around the edge of the frame. If alternative colour mastic and/or silicon sealant and/or trims and/or architraves are required, the Buyer must inform Bradbury within seven (7) Business Days of performance of the Services. Bradbury will advise the Buyer of any additional costs payable in such event.
5.5  If required by Bradbury, the Buyer shall pay a deposit. Any deposit payable shall be paid on acceptance of the Order, and payment of such in full and in cleared funds is a condition precedent to Bradbury being under any liability to supply the Goods and/or Services in accordance with the Contract. In all other cases, Bradbury may invoice for the Goods at any time on or after delivery (being the Goods' arrival at the Delivery Location).
5.6         If the Buyer’s site is zero rated for VAT purposes in accordance with HMRC Regulations, it is the Buyer's responsibility to provide written confirmation on letter headed paper of such VAT rating along with any other evidence that Bradbury may require. Failure to provide sufficient evidence will result in a demand for payment of VAT on all invoices submitted by Bradbury as if the site is rated at the appropriate standard rate of VAT in force at that time.
5.7         Subject to Conditions 5.5 and 5.10, the due date for payment of Bradbury's invoices, in full and in cleared funds, shall be the end of the month following the date of the invoice (the Payment Due Date). Time for payment of invoices shall be of the essence.
5.8         If the Buyer fails to pay any sum due by the Payment Due Date it shall be liable to pay interest. Interest will accrue on any overdue amount on a daily basis at the annual rate of three per cent (3%) above the base rate for lending of Barclays Bank PLC, from the Payment Due Date until receipt by Bradbury of payment in full and cleared funds of the overdue amount, whether before or after any judgment. The Buyer shall also pay all costs and expenses (including legal expenses) incurred by Bradbury in collecting such sum. The Buyer shall pay the interest and all such costs and expenses together with the overdue amount.
5.9         In addition to its right to charge interest and associated costs and expenses on late payment as set out in Condition 5.8, where any sum owed by the Buyer is overdue, or where the Buyer exceeds its authorised credit limit, Bradbury shall be entitled, but not obliged, to do any or a combination of the following without prejudice to any other right or remedy:
5.9.1  suspend all or any part of the ongoing supply of the Goods and/or Services;
5.9.2  cancel all or any part of any outstanding Contract; and/or
5.9.3  exercise its rights to recover the Goods pursuant to Condition 6.9.
5.10 All payments payable to Bradbury under the Contract shall become due and payable immediately on its termination notwithstanding any other provision of the Contract or these Conditions.
5.11 If the Buyer fails to provide Bradbury within seven (7) Working Days of the Order being accepted, any items belonging to, or to be supplied by, the Buyer for adaption in, or for incorporation in, the Goods, together with sufficient drawings, specifications and information to enable Bradbury to start work within such time, Bradbury may in such event amend the prices quoted to reflect any increase of the Goods which arises from the delay in receipt of such items, drawings, specifications and information.
5.12 Bradbury may increase any agreed price to reflect: (a) any increase in the cost of the Goods and/or Services due to factors beyond Bradbury's reasonable control (including foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties, increases in labour, materials and component costs and other manufacturing costs); or (b) any additional costs incurred as a result of: any alterations by the Buyer in design, quantities and/or specifications; and/or any suspension of work arising from instructions or lack of instructions from the Buyer; and/or (without prejudice to Bradbury's rights under Condition 5.13) any item supplied by the Buyer proving unsuitable for, or having to be altered prior to, such incorporation; and/or Bradbury not obtaining access to the Buyer's premises as and when necessary to provide the Goods and/or Services.
5.13 Bradbury may make any alteration it thinks reasonably necessary to any item supplied by the Buyer for incorporation into Goods, and charge the cost of so doing to the Buyer.
5.14 Bradbury may, without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have, set off any amounts owed to it by the Buyer against any amounts payable by it to Buyer.

6.       RISK AND TITLE

6.1         The Goods are at the risk of the Buyer from delivery.
6.2         Notwithstanding the earlier passing of risk, ownership in the Goods shall remain with Bradbury and shall not pass to the Buyer until: (a) the amount due under the invoice for the Goods and/or Services has been paid in full and in cleared funds; and (b) all other sums which are, or which become, due to Bradbury from the Buyer have been paid in full and in cleared funds.

6.7         If the Buyer has not received payment for a sale under Condition 6.6 it shall, upon written request, assign to Bradbury all of its rights against its customer in respect of that sale.
6.8         The Buyer's right to possession of the Goods shall terminate immediately, and without notice, if:

6.8.3  it fails to observe/perform any of his/its obligations under the Contract, or any other contract between the Parties; or
6.8.4  it ceases to trade; or

8.2.2  Bradbury is given a reasonable opportunity to examine such Goods and agrees that they do not conform with the Product Warranty (and in the absence of manifest error, Bradbury's decision as to conformity or otherwise with the Product Warranty shall be final and binding); and
8.2.3  the Buyer, if asked to do so by Bradbury, returns such Goods to Bradbury;
then Bradbury will repair or, at its option, replace the defective Goods or the defective part of the Goods and/or Services free of charge, provided that the Buyer adequately packs and returns the Goods (the cost of carriage shall be at Bradbury's expense) to the designated point of return stated by Bradbury, to arrive within seven (7) Working Days of the Buyer giving notice to Bradbury of such defect in accordance with Condition 8.2.1. Where it would not be practical for the Buyer to return the Goods to Bradbury, Bradbury will arrange to visit the premises of the Buyer. Except as provided in this Condition 8.2, Bradbury shall have no liability in respect of the Goods and/or Services' failure to conform with the Product Warranty

8.4  Bradbury shall not be liable for a breach of the Product warranty if:
8.4.1  the defect in the Goods and/or Services arises from any drawing, design or specification supplied by the Buyer; or
8.4.2  the Buyer makes any further use of such Goods after giving such notice in accordance with Condition 8.2.1; or
8.4.3 the defect arises because the Buyer failed to follow Bradbury's oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation or commissioning, use or maintenance of the Goods or, in the absence of such instructions, good trade practice regarding the same; or
8.4.4  the Buyer misuses, alters or repairs the Goods without Bradbury's written consent; or
8.4.5  the defect in the Goods and/or Services Goods arises from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence or abnormal use, storage or working conditions (for the avoidance of doubt, this includes highly saline and corrosive environments), and/or beyond the Goods' capacity as rated and recommended by Bradbury; or
