Basis
of Sale
All contracts between
Clickgranite ("http://www.clickgranite.co.uk") and the person who accepts
a quotation, and purchases goods, from Clickgranite ("the Customer") shall
be on these conditions of sale (including Clickgranite's quotation and specification)
to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions (including any terms and
conditions which the Customer purports to apply under any purchase order,
confirmation of order, specification or other document) and no terms or conditions
endorsed on, delivered with or contained in the Customer's order, drawings,
specification or other document will form part of the contract simply as a
result of such document being referred to in the contract. No variation or
addition to these conditions shall be binding unless agreed in writing by
the authorised representatives of the Customer and Clickgranite.
Orders and Specifications
On receipt of an order
from a Customer, Clickgranite will issue a formal written order acknowledgement,
which will confirm the relevant specification details and price. It will be
the responsibility of the Customer to ensure that this acknowledgement correctly
reflects its acceptance.
The quality, quantity
and specification of the goods shall be those set out in the order form, subject
always to the following.
All natural materials
supplied are subject to their natural markings, veining, variations in colour,
cracks and vents. These are supplied cramped, stopped or reinforced where
necessary and no claim on this account can be made.
When samples have been
submitted exact resemblances of the product supplied to the sample can not
be guaranteed.
All thickness quoted is
nominal and no liability is accepted for reasonable variations of whatsoever
nature.
Price of Goods
The price for the goods
is the price stated in Clickgranite's order acknowledgement.
Terms of Payment
Payment will be 50% Deposit
and the balance on delivery.
No payment shall be deemed
to have been received until Clickgranite has received cleared funds.
All payments payable to
Clickgranite shall become due immediately upon termination of the contract
despite any other provision.
The Customer shall make
payments due under these conditions without deduction whether by way of set-off,
counterclaim, discount, abatement or otherwise.
Clickgranite reserves
the right to charge interest at the rate of 1.5% per month on unpaid balances
(whether before or after any judgement).
Delivery
Delivery of goods shall
be made by Clickgranite as follows:
For goods being installed
by Clickgranite, on the date of completion of such installation.
For other goods, upon
physical delivery by Clickgranite or collection by the Customer or authorised
agent from Clickgranite within 14 days of Clickgranite giving notice that
the goods are ready for delivery.
Any dates quoted for delivery
of the goods are approximate only and Clickgranite shall not be liable for
any delay in delivery of the goods howsoever caused. Time for delivery shall
not be of the essence of the contract unless expressly agreed by Clickgranite
in writing. Clickgranite shall not be liable for failure to deliver the goods
if the failure is due to reasons beyond Clickgranite's reasonable control.
If for any reason the
customer will not accept delivery of the goods when they are ready for delivery.
Risk in the goods will pass to the customer, the goods will be deemed to have
been delivered and Clickgranite may store the goods until delivery whereupon
the customer will be liable for all related costs (including storage and insurance).
Risk and Property
Risk of damage to or loss
of the goods shall pass to the Customer at the time of delivery or, if the
Customer wrongly fails to take delivery of the goods, the time when Clickgranite
has tendered delivery of the goods and Clickgranite may store the goods until
actual delivery whereupon the Customer will be liable for all related costs
(including storage and insurance).
Notwithstanding any other
provision of these conditions, the property in the goods shall not pass to
the Customer until Clickgranite has received full payment for the goods.
Until such time as the
property in the goods passes to the Customer, the Customer shall hold the
goods on a fiduciary basis as Clickgranite's bailer and store the goods at
its own cost separately from its own goods and those of third parties and
shall keep the goods insured on Clickgranite behalf to their full replacement
value and (and provided the goods are still in existence and have not been
re-sold) Clickgranite shall be entitled at any time to require the Customer
to deliver up the goods to Clickgranite, and if the Customer fails to do so
forthwith, to enter upon any premises of the Customer or any third party where
the goods are stored and repossess the goods. If the Customer shall have re-sold
the goods, the proceeds of such sale shall be held by the Customer as trustee
for and to the account of Clickgranite.

Warranties and Liability
Subject to orders and
specifications above and the conditions set out below Clickgranite warrants
that the goods will correspond with their description at the time of delivery.
Clickgranite shall be
under no liability in respect of any defect in the goods arising from any
drawing, design, specification or template supplied by or on behalf of the
Customer.
Clickgranite shall be
under no liability in respect of any defect arising from fair wear and tear,
wilful damage, negligence, abnormal working conditions, failure to follow
Clickgranite's instructions (whether oral or in writing), misuse or alteration
or repair of the goods without Clickgranite's approval.
Subject as expressly provided
in these conditions, and except where the goods are sold to a person dealing
as a consumer (within the meaning of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977) all
warranties, conditions or other terms implied by statue or common law are
excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Where the goods are sold
under a consumer transaction (as defined in the Consumer Transactions (Restrictions
on Statements) Order 1976) the statutory rights of the Customer are not affected
by these conditions.
Any claim by the Customer
which is based on any defect in the quality or condition of the goods or failure
of the goods to correspond with their description shall (whether or not delivery
is refused by the Customer) be notified to Clickgranite within three days
from the date of delivery. If delivery is not refused, and the Customer does
not notify Clickgranite accordingly and allow Clickgranite reasonable opportunity,
after receiving notice, of examining the goods, the Customer shall not be
entitled to reject the goods and Clickgranite shall have no liability for
such defect or failure, and the Customer shall be bound to pay the price as
if the goods had been delivered in accordance with the contract. Furthermore,
Clickgranite shall not be liable for any such defect or failure if the Customer
makes any further use of the goods after giving any such notice.
Where the Customer deals
as a consumer, the provisions of section 35 of the Sales of Goods Act 1979(as
amended) shall replace the provisions referred to in clause stating the same
act above.
Where any valid claim
in respect of the goods which is based on any defect in the quality or condition
of the goods or their failure to match their description is notified to Clickgranite
in accordance with these conditions, Clickgranite shall be entitled to replace
the goods (or the part in question) free of charge or, at the discretion of
Clickgranite, refund to the Customer the price of the goods (or a proportionate
part of the price) but Clickgranite shall have no further liability to the
Customer.
Subject to this warranties
and liability condition, the following sets out the entire financial liability
of Clickgranite (including any acts or omissions of employees, agents or sub-contractors).
Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by Clickgranite's negligence,
Clickgranite shall not be liable to the Customer by reason of any representation
(unless fraudulent) or any implied warranty condition or any other term, or
any duty at common law, or under the express terms of contract, for any indirect,
special or consequential loss or damage (whether for loss of profit or otherwise)
cost, expenses or other claims for compensation whatsoever (whether caused
by the negligence of Clickgranite, it's employees or agents otherwise) which
arise out of or in connection with the supply of the goods, their installation
by Clickgranite or their use, and the entire liability of Clickgranite under
or in connection with the contract shall not exceed the price of the goods,
except as expressly provided in these conditions.
Clickgranite shall not
be liable to the Customer or be deemed to be in breach of the contract by
reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform any of Clickgranite's
obligations in relation to the goods, if the delay or failure was due to any
cause beyond the reasonable control of Clickgranite, including but not limited
to strikes, lockouts, trade disputes, import or export regulations or embargoes
and difficulties in obtaining raw materials.
Variations
Clickgranite reserves
the right to change these terms and conditions from time to time and when
they affect current Customer orders Clickgranite will advise the Customer
accordingly in sufficient time to allow the Customer to amend or terminate
the contract by written notice.

terminate the contract by written notice if the other becomes insolvent or
is deemed to be insolvent within the meaning of section 123 of the Insolvency
Act 1986.
General
Any notice required or
permitted to be given by either party to the other under these conditions
shall be in writing addressed to that other party at its registered office
or principle place of business or where a person is dealing as a consumer
at such address as may at the relevant time have been notified pursuant to
this provision to the party giving the notice.
No waiver by Clickgranite
of any breach of the contract by the Customer shall be considered as a waiver
of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.
If any provision of these
terms and conditions is held by any competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable
in whole or in part the validity of the other provisions of these conditions
and the remainder of the provision in question shall not be affected.
The Customer shall not
be entitled to assign the contract or any part of it without the prior written
consent of Clickgranite.

that any term of this contract will be enforceable by virtue of the Contracts
