Coastform Systems Limited (“Coastform”)

Standard Terms and Conditions

1 General

1.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, these Terms (“Terms”) apply exclusively to each order (“Order”) for the sale of goods (“Goods”) and/or for the supply of services for any design, consultancy or advisory work (“Services”) by Coastform to a purchaser of Goods and/or Services (“Purchaser”) (together “the Parties” and reference to “the Party” means either of them).

2 Application of Terms

2.1 These Terms apply to all Orders (including Internet, fax and phone Orders) of any type, and override any terms submitted by Purchaser with any Order or at any other time. Any variance from these Terms must be in writing accepted and signed by a Director of Coastform.

2.2 Coastform shall not be bound to fulfil any Order unless and until Coastform has confirmed its acceptance or has fulfilled it.

2.3 Any delay or failure by Coastform to object to any terms contained in any communications from Purchaser, including in the Purchaser’s original Order paperwork, will not be a waiver of these Terms.

2.4 Under no circumstances shall Coastform’s acceptance of the Purchaser’s order be construed or implied to create an obligation on Coastform’s part to subsequently accept any additional Order.

3 Price

3.1 The cost of the Goods or Services (“the Price”) is the price contained in Coastform’s quotation or current list price and does not include taxes, shipping, special packaging, or insurance except as specifically noted.

3.2 Coastform may change the Price and delivery date(s) at any time before Order acceptance.

4 Payment

4.1 On approved accounts, payment is due within 30 days after invoice date. Else, payment is due in advance of the delivery of Goods or Services. Payment may be made by electronic funds transfer, or cheque from an approved account. All bank charges from either the sending or receiving bank will be charged back to Purchaser, and Coastform reserves the right to refuse to fulfil any Order where prepayment is required and where bank charges are not also paid in full.

4.2 If the Price (plus taxes and any other applicable charges) is not paid in full when due then, without affecting any of Coastform’s other rights or remedies, Coastform may (a) cancel the Order and/or suspend any further deliveries or performance of the Services; (b) charge interest at 5% a year above the Bank of England base rate at the time on all unpaid amounts; (c) withdraw all credit facilities extended and require immediate payment of all outstanding invoices whether or not due for payment; and/or (d) cancel and withdraw any trade discount allowed on the Price.

5 Delivery

5.1 Unless otherwise specified Delivery is 2-3 day, and charged at the standard rate of £10 +VAT for the UK mainland only. Delivery occurs when the Goods are handed over to the Purchaser, its agent or carrier. Delivery dates quoted are approximate only and Coastform is not liable for any delay in the delivery of the Goods.

5.2 Failure of Purchaser to take delivery of Goods or to give adequate delivery instructions will not relieve Purchaser of its requirement to pay Coastform for the Goods.

6 Risk and Property

6.1 Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods passes on delivery or, if the Purchaser fails to take delivery without good cause, at the time when delivery is tendered. Where Goods are held on consignment the Purchaser may be required to enter into an additional agreement.

6.2 The Goods remain the property of Coastform until Coastform has received full payment (plus taxes and other applicable charges) from Purchaser. Until payment is made in full, Purchaser merely hold the Goods or Services as Coastform’s fiduciary agent and bailee, and Purchaser will not pledge or charge the Goods, and Coastform may require Purchaser to return the Goods to it and, if Purchaser fails to do so, Coastform may repossess the Goods. Purchaser grants Coastform an irrevocable licence to enter, with or without vehicles, any of its premises for the purpose of inspecting or repossessing the Goods.

7 Insolvency of Purchaser

7.1 If the Purchaser shall be deemed under any applicable law to be unable to pay its debts as they become due Coastform is entitled to terminate the Order and/or suspend any further deliveries without incurring any liability.

The warranty given in this Condition 8.1 is not transferable in any way.

8.2 Coastform warrants that Services will be performed with reasonable skill and care. All other warranties, Terms or other terms implied by statute or common law are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
