Terms & Conditions of Sale
1. Definitions
“the Company” means Hanson Technical Solutions Limited
“the Buyer” means the person, firm or Company specified on the contract.
“the Contract” means the contract accepted by the buyer, confirmed by the receipt of the first purchase order.
2. Ruling Conditions
All contracts of sale made by the Company are subject to these conditions and any printed conditions on the Buyer’s order form or other documents shall not apply unless, and to the extent only that, they shall have been expressly accepted by the Company in writing. These conditions can be varied or added to or suspended only by agreement in writing between the parties or by typed or written amendment on the face of this document or some attachment to this document.
3. Price and Payment
30 days from the date of the invoice (this being called “the due date” in these Terms and Conditions of Sale).
a. Payment shall be by BACS transfer or other means agreed between the Company & Buyer.
b. If any payment by the Buyer under the Contract shall be overdue the Company shall be entitled to charge interest upon such overdue payment from the due date until payment at the rate of 8% over the Bank of England Base Rate.
4. Delivery & Installation
Whilst the Company will do its best to meet the delivery & installation date requested by the Buyer, if for any unforeseen reasons, delivery is delayed, the Company will keep the Buyer duly informed, but will not be liable for any loss, costs, damages or expenses (direct, indirect or consequential) suffered by the Buyer as a result of a delayed delivery. Time is NOT the essence of the contract unless specific terms are agreed for a specific project, duly agreed and signed by both parties.
5. Scope of Supply & Service
The Company is responsible for the supply and installation of goods so specified in the Contract and agreed between the Company & Buyer. The Company is not responsible for the supply of any service contract purchased or supplied by a third party. This includes any connection to the cellular networks located within the UK. Any failure of service or degradation is not the responsibility of the Company and should be addressed to the service supplier.
6. Risk and Passing of Title
a. Goods will be at the Buyer’s risk from the time of delivery to the Buyer’s premises, or other delivery address specified by the Buyer.
b. Legal title to the goods shall remain with the Company until the Company has received all sums owing by the Buyer whether under the contract or any other account with the Company.
c. The Buyer acknowledges that he is in the possession of the goods solely as bailee for the Company until such time as all sums owing by the Buyer, whether under the contract or on any other account with the Company, have been paid.
d. The Buyer’s right to possession of the goods shall cease if the Buyer not being a company, commits an act of bankruptcy or suffers a bankruptcy order to be made against him, or makes a proposal to his creditors for a composition in satisfaction of his debts or a scheme of arrangement of his affairs being a proposal which provides for some person to act in relation to the composition or scheme either as trustee or otherwise for the purpose of supervising its implementation, or if the Buyer being a company, suffers or permits the appointment of an administrator or administrative receiver (as those expressions are defined in the Insolvency Act 1985), over the whole or any of its assets, or if a petition is presented for the winding up of the Buyer, or if the Buyer convenes a meeting of its creditors for the purpose of winding up. For the purpose of the recovery of its goods, the Company may enter upon the premises where they are stored and repossess them.
7. Warranty
These warranty terms only apply to goods supplied directly by the Company. Goods supplied by the Buyer will not be subject to any warranty from the Company.
The goods installed will be free from manufacturing defects and faults for a period of 12 months from the date of installation, unless otherwise advised by the Company.
The Company warrants that the goods shall at the time of delivery be free from any patent defects in workmanship and materials. If any goods do not conform to this warranty, the Company will at its option:
I. Replace the goods found not to conform to the warranty, or
II. Take such steps as the Company deems necessary to bring the goods into a state where they are free from such defects; or
III. Take back the goods found not to conform to the warranty and refund a proportionate part of the purchase price provided that the liability of the Company shall in no event exceed the purchase price of the goods.
The foregoing warranty is conditional upon:
I. The Buyer giving written notice to the Company of the alleged defect in the goods within 24 hours of delivery of the goods; and
II. The Buyer affording the Company a reasonable opportunity to inspect the goods; and
III. The Buyer making no further use of the goods that are alleged to be defective after the time at which the Buyer discovers or ought reasonably to have discovered that they are defective.
IV. Save as provided in paragraph (7.a) of this condition: The Company shall be under no liability for any loss or damage (whether direct, indirect or consequential) howsoever arising suffered by the Buyer.
The Warranty does not cover reconfiguration of any devices which have been reset by the Buyer to “factory defaults”. Any work to reconfigure devices after reset will be chargeable at the Company’s standard rates.
Devices running inbuilt software/firmware require intermittent updates by the Buyer. These updates are not covered by the Warranty. The Company will update software/firmware if requested but this service is chargeable at the Company’s standard rates.
8. Force Majeure
The Company shall have the right without incurring any liability to the Buyer, to cancel the Contract or reduce the volume of goods delivered, if it is prevented from or hindered in delivering the goods as a result of any circumstances beyond its control including (but not limited to), Industrial action, war, fire, or prohibition or enactment of any kind.
9. Law
All matters relating to the formation, performance and discharge of the Contract shall be governed by English Law.
