Terms & Conditions of Sale

General Conditions of Sale

The following conditions shall apply to all orders/contracts accepted or entered into by StockShed,
 hereinafter called "The Company", and all other conditions whatsoever are excluded from the contract, or any variation thereof, unless expressly accepted by the Company in writing.

Prices


All prices quoted by the Company are ex-works and the Purchase shall in addition pay all charges for carriage, insurance and (where appropriate) any export duties. All prices will be subject to surcharge in the event of any increase in wages, in the cost of raw materials, or fluctuations in foreign currencies, although every endeavour will be made to ensure that prices quoted are maintained at date of despatch. When products are sold without quotation they will be charged at price prevailing at the date of collection or despatch from the Company.


Dispatch

a) Delivery dates are given as accurately as possible but are not guaranteed. Under no circumstances will late delivery entitle the Purchaser to treat the contract as repudiated or to claim damages.


Unless paid for online, the Company may invoice the Purchaser at the earlier of the following dates:-

i) The date goods are shipped.
ii) The date goods are ready for shipment but are held pending instruction from the Purchaser.


Packing

Where goods are supplied packed in returnable cases, a separate charge will be made to cover the cost thereof, which will be credited in full only if the empty case is returned to the Company within 4 weeks and in good condition.


Carriage

Delivery of goods to the carrier shall constitute delivery thereof to the Purchaser, and thereafter such goods shall be at the Purchaser's risk.

Payment

Payment terms are immediate or 30 days from date of invoice unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company. If payment is not received within the agreed payment terms, the Company shall be entitled to charge and recover interest from the Purchaser on the price of the goods calculated at the rate of four percent above the Barclays Bank PLC base rate from the due date until the date of full payment. In addition, delayed or non-payment by a third party to Purchaser shall by no means constitute delayed or non-payment from Purchaser to Company.


Although a binding contract for the sale of goods is formed when an order (whether written or verbal) is received by the Company and the Company despatches an acknowledgement of the order together with the terms and
conditions the title in the products shall remain with the Company and shall not pass to the Purchaser until the amount due under the invoice from them (including interest and costs) has been paid in full.
