the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade,
custom, practice or course of dealing.
Orders not placed on the Supplier’s Website.
2.2 The Order constitutes an offer by the Customer to purchase the Goods in
accordance with these Conditions. The Customer is responsible for ensuring
that the terms of the Order are complete and accurate.
2.3 The Order shall only be deemed accepted when the Supplier acknowledges
acceptance of the Order either orally or in writing, at which point the Contract
shall come into existence.
2.4 The Customer acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise,
representation, assurance or warranty made or given by or on behalf of the
Supplier which is not set out in the Contract.
2.5 Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter, or advertising produced by the
Supplier and any descriptions or illustrations contained in the Supplier’s
website, catalogues or brochures are produced for the sole purpose of giving
an approximate idea of the Goods described in them. They shall not form part
of the Contract or have any contractual force.
2.6 A quotation for the Goods given by the Supplier shall not constitute an offer. A
quotation shall only be valid for a period of 30 days from its date of issue.
Orders placed via the Website
2.7 Where the Customer places an order for Goods via the Website, the Customer
shall submit such order using the on-screen prompts provided on the Website.
The Customer is responsible for ensuring that all details entered as part of the
online order process are complete and accurate, and the Customer must check
and amend any errors before submitting the order. By submitting an online
order, the Customer confirms that the order is complete, accurate and reflects
the Customer’s requirements.
2.8 Any automated or manual email sent by the Supplier acknowledging receipt
of an Order (including any confirmation that the Order has been received or
logged) shall not constitute acceptance of the Order. An Order shall only be
deemed accepted, and the Contract formed, when:
(a) the Supplier has received payment for the Goods in full and in cleared
funds; and
(b) the Supplier sends an explicit order acceptance email confirming that
the Order has been accepted.
No Contract shall come into existence until both conditions in this clause 2.8
have been satisfied.
2.9 All online Orders are subject to stock availability and receipt of payment in full
and in cleared funds. If, for any reason, the Supplier is unable to supply the
Goods ordered, the Supplier shall notify the Customer as soon as reasonably
practicable. In such circumstances, the Supplier will not process the Order
further and will refund to the Customer, as soon as reasonably practicable, all
sums paid in respect of that Order, including any delivery charges.
2.10 The Supplier’s inability to supply the Goods as referred to in clause 2.9 shall
not constitute a breach of the Contract where such non-availability arises from
events outside the Supplier’s reasonable control, including but not limited to
production delays, supply chain failures, or manufacturer shortages.
3. Goods
3.1 The Goods are described in the Supplier’s Website, catalogues or brochures.
All weights, dimensions and sizes shown on the Website, catalogues or
brochures are guides only and are approximate. Images of the Goods are for
illustrative purposes only. Although the Supplier has made every effort to
display colours accurately, the Supplier cannot guarantee that a device’s
display of the colours accurately reflects the colour of the Goods. The
packaging of the Goods may vary from that shown in images on the Website,
catalogues or brochures.
3.2 The Supplier reserves the right to amend the specification of the Goods if
required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements or in line with
any manufacturer’s amendments. In respect of Non-TD Goods, the Supplier is
not responsible for manufacturer-driven specification changes.
3.3 The Supplier may, at the request of the Customer, provide technical written or
oral advice to the Customer regarding use of the Goods, provided that such
advice is given at the Customer’s sole risk and the Supplier shall not be liable
for any loss, damage or claim arising therefrom.
3.4 The Supplier reserves the right to correct any obvious errors in the description
or pricing of the Goods displayed on the Website, in a catalogue or a brochure.
If an error is identified after the Customer has placed an Order, the Supplier
may notify the Customer of the error, cancel the Order, and refund in full all
sums paid by the Customer in respect of that Order. In such circumstances, no
Contract shall be deemed to have been formed, and the Supplier’s liability shall
be strictly limited to the refund of the price paid for the Goods (including any
delivery charges), and the Supplier shall have no further liability to the
Customer arising from or in connection with the cancellation of the Order.
4. Delivery & Carriage
4.1 Delivery of the Goods shall be completed on the Goods’ arrival at the Delivery
Location. Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of
delivery is not of the essence of the Contract.
4.2 If the Customer fails to take delivery of the Goods within 10 days after the
Supplier notifies the Customer that the Goods are ready for delivery, then,
without limiting any other right or remedy available to the Supplier:
(a) the Supplier may resell part or all of the Goods; and
(b) after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, the Supplier
shall account to the Customer for any excess over the price of the
Goods or shall charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price
of the Goods.
This clause 4.2 operates in addition to, and not in substitution for, the
Supplier’s rights under clause 6 (Title & Risk) in circumstances where the
Customer fails to take delivery or becomes subject to any of the events listed
in clause 9.2.
4.3 The Supplier shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is
caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer’s failure to provide the
Supplier with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are
relevant to the supply of the Goods.
4.4 If the Supplier fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the cost
of the Goods. The Supplier shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the
Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or
the Customer’s failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery
instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the
Goods.
4.5 If the Goods were damaged prior to arrival at the Delivery Location, the
Customer must notify the Supplier in writing within three Business Days of the
delivery.
4.6 If the Supplier delivers up to and including 5% more or less than the quantity of
Goods ordered the Customer may not reject them, but on receipt of notice from
the Customer that the wrong quantity of Goods was delivered, a pro rata
adjustment shall be made to the Order invoice. This tolerance applies equally
to orders placed via the Website and to orders placed by any other method.
4.7 The Supplier may deliver the Goods in instalments. Each instalment shall
constitute a separate contract and shall be invoiced and paid for separately.
Any delay in delivery of, or defect in, an instalment shall not entitle the
Customer to reject any other instalment, to cancel the Contract as a whole, or
to withhold payment for any other instalment.
4.8 International delivery:
(a) The Goods are intended to comply with the laws, regulations and
standards applicable in the United Kingdom only, unless the Supplier
expressly states otherwise in writing;
(b) The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the Goods comply with
all applicable laws, standards, import requirements and regulations of
the country to which the Goods are destined. The Customer must
check any relevant destination-country standards, certifications or
restrictions before placing an Order;
(c) The Goods may be subject to import duties, taxes or other charges
which are levied when the delivery reaches the destination country.
The Supplier has no control over these charges, cannot predict their
amount, and shall not be responsible for their payment. The Customer
shall be responsible for payment of all such duties, taxes and charges;
(d) The Supplier accepts no liability for any breach by the Customer of any
laws, regulations or standards applicable in the destination country,
nor for any refusal by authorities to permit import of the Goods; and
(e) Delivery times for international shipments may vary, and the Customer
acknowledges that delivery-time estimates do not account for customs
delays or inspections, which are outside the Supplier’s control.
5. Warranty & Claims
5.1 In respect of Non-TD Goods, the Supplier does not provide any warranty of its
own. The only warranty applicable to the Non-TD Goods is the manufacturer’s
warranty (if any), and the Supplier’s sole obligation is to use reasonable
endeavours to pass on the benefit of such manufacturer’s warranty to the
Customer.
5.2 The Supplier shall have no liability for handling, processing, administering, or
pursuing any warranty claim in respect of Non-TD Goods. Any such claims shall
be made by the Customer directly to the manufacturer, and the Customer
acknowledges that the Supplier shall not be responsible for any refusal by the
manufacturer to honour a warranty.
5.3 The warranty set out in clause 5.4 shall apply only to TD Goods and shall not
apply to Non-TD Goods under any circumstance.
5.4 The Supplier warrants that on delivery, that the TD Goods shall, on delivery
and for a period of 12 months from delivery:

(b) be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship.
5.5 Subject to clause 5.7, if:
(a) the Customer gives notice in writing to the Supplier during the warranty
period within a reasonable time of discovery that some or all of the TD
Goods do not comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1;
(b) the Supplier is given a reasonable opportunity of examining such TD
Goods; and
(c) subject to clause 5.3, the Customer (if asked to do so by the Supplier)
returns such TD Goods to the Supplier’s place of business at the
Customer’s cost,
the Supplier shall, at its option, repair or replace the defective TD Goods, or
refund the price of the defective TD Goods in full.
5.6 Prior to any return of the TD Goods, the Customer must obtain authorisation
from the Supplier via email or telephone.
5.7 The Supplier shall not be liable for the TD Goods’ failure to comply with the
warranty set out in clause 5.4 in any of the following circumstances:
(a) the Customer makes any further use of such TD Goods after giving notice
in accordance with clause 5.5;
(b) the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow the Supplier’s oral
or written instructions as to the storage, commissioning, installation, use
and maintenance of the TD Goods or (if there are none) good trade
practice regarding the same;
(c) the Customer alters or repairs such TD Goods without the written consent
of the Supplier;
(d) the defect arises as a result of the Supplier following any drawing, design
or specification supplied by the Customer;
(e) the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage,
negligence, or abnormal storage or working conditions; or
(f) the TD Goods differ from their description as a result of changes made to
ensure they comply with applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.
5.8 Except as provided in this clause 5, the Supplier shall have no liability to the
Customer in respect of the TD Goods’ failure to comply with the warranty set
out in clause 5.4.
5.9 The terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 are, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.
5.10 These Conditions shall apply to any repaired or replacement TD Goods
supplied by the Supplier.
6. Title & Risk
6.1 The risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer upon completion of delivery.
6.2 Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the Supplier receives
payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods and any other goods
that the Supplier has supplied to the Customer in respect of which payment has
become due, in which case title to the Goods shall pass at the time of payment
of all such sums.
6.3 Until title to the Goods has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall:
(a) store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Customer so
that they remain readily identifiable as the Supplier’s property;
(b) not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or
relating to the Goods;
(c) maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured
against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery;
(d) notify the Supplier immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events
listed in clause 9.2; and
(e) give the Supplier such information relating to the Goods as the Supplier
may require from time to time.
6.4 Subject to clause 6.5, the Customer may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary
course of its business (but not otherwise) before the Supplier receives payment
for the Goods. However, if the Customer resells the Goods before that time:
(a) it does so as principal and not as the Supplier’s agent; and
(b) title to the Goods shall pass from the Supplier to the Customer
immediately before the time at which resale by the Customer occurs.
6.5 If before title to the Goods passes to the Customer, the Customer becomes
subject to any of the events listed in clause 8.2, then, without limiting any other
right or remedy the Supplier may have:
(a) the Customer’s right to resell the Goods or use them in the ordinary
course of its business ceases immediately; and
(b) the Supplier may at any time:
(i) require the Customer to deliver up all Goods in its possession
which have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into
another product; and
(ii) if the Customer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the
Customer or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order
to recover them.
7. Price & Payment
7.1 The price of the Goods shall be the price set out in the Order, or for Orders
placed online, the price of the Goods shall be as quoted on the Website. In the
event that there are any errors regarding the price of the Goods, clause 3.4
shall apply.
7.2 The Supplier may, at any time before delivery, increase the price of the Goods
to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods that is due to:
(a) any factor beyond the Supplier’s control (including foreign exchange
fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties, and increases in labour,
materials and other manufacturing costs);
(b) any request by the Customer to change the delivery date(s), quantities or
types of Goods ordered, or the specification thereof; or
(c) any delay caused by any instructions of the Customer or failure of the
Customer to give the Supplier adequate or accurate information or
instructions.
7.3 The price of the Goods:
(a) unless the Order states otherwise, includes the costs and charges of
packaging, insurance and transport of the Goods, which shall be invoiced
to the Customer; and
(b) excludes amounts in respect of value added tax (“VAT”), which the
Customer shall additionally be liable to pay to the Supplier at the prevailing
rate, subject to the receipt of a valid VAT invoice.
7.4 Payment for the Goods must be in advance (i.e. on placing the Order), in full
and in cleared funds, of the delivery to the bank account nominated by the
Supplier or via credit or debit card. In the case of a Customer with a credit
account, payment shall be in accordance with the credit terms agreement
between the parties. Time for payment shall be of the essence of the Contract.
7.5 For Orders placed via the TDOnline Website, payment must be made by debit
or credit card. The Supplier accepts Visa, Mastercard and Maestro (and any
other card types as notified on the Website from time to time). No other
payment methods are accepted for Website Orders.
7.6 The Supplier may take payment at the point the Order is submitted; however,
the Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Supplier may alternatively
charge the Customer’s card at the point of dispatch of the Goods. For the
avoidance of doubt, the timing of the card charge does not affect the
acceptance mechanism set out in clause 2.8, and the Contract shall only come
into existence when:
(a) payment has been received in full and in cleared funds; and
(b) the Supplier has sent an explicit order acceptance email.
7.7 The Supplier reserves the right to claim interest, compensation and reasonable
costs under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 (“the
Act”) and it is agreed that the term implied by that Act shall apply after any
judgment as well as before. If for any reason the Act does not apply interest
shall be payable on overdue amounts at 8% over the Bank of England Base
Rate from time to time, but at 8% a year for any period when the base rate is
below 0%.
7.8 The provisions of clause 7.7 continue to apply in full to Customers purchasing
off-line or under credit account arrangements. For Orders placed via the
Website and paid by debit or credit card in accordance with these Conditions,
interest, late-payment charges or compensation under the Act will not ordinarily
apply, unless any further sums become payable following the initial card
payment (for example, charges relating to storage, re-delivery, or return fees)
and remain unpaid after the due date.
7.9 The Customer shall pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any
set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (except for any deduction or
withholding required by law). The Supplier may at any time, without limiting any
other rights or remedies it may have, set-off any amount owing to it by the
Customer against any amount payable by the Supplier to the Customer.
8 Cancellation and returns
8.1 The Customer may, with the Supplier’s prior written consent, return Non-TD
Goods for credit or refund, provided that:
(a) the Non-TD Goods are, in the Supplier’s opinion, unused, in new
condition, and in their original packaging; and
(b) the Non-TD Goods remain within any manufacturer warranty period.
8.2 All authorised returns of Non-TD Goods shall be subject to a restocking charge
equal to 20% of the price paid for those Non-TD Goods.
8.3 The Customer shall be responsible for all costs of returning Non-TD Goods,
including transport, insurance, and risk of loss or damage while in transit.
8.4 Goods made to the Customer’s specification, or which are customised,
modified, adapted or otherwise altered at the Customer’s request, cannot be
cancelled or returned under any circumstances and must be paid for in full. This
does not affect the Customer’s rights in respect of defective TD Goods under
clause 5.
8.5 No Goods may be returned without the Supplier’s prior written authorisation.
Any unauthorised returns will be refused and returned to the Customer at the
Customer’s expense. The Customer must follow all return instructions issued
by the Supplier, including the use of any returns reference number.
9. Termination & Suspension
9.1 If the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 9.2,
without limiting its other rights or remedies, the Supplier may terminate the
Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to the Customer.
