Terms and Conditions
CONDITIONS OF SALE
Any contract of sale between this company and a customer will be subject to these conditions and the placing of an order with this company shall be deemed to be an acceptance by the customer of these conditions. Any terms or conditions appearing in any document issued by the customer shall have no effect. No variation of any of these conditions shall be binding on this company unless expressly accepted by this company in writing. All photographs, pictures and illustrations shown are for information purposes only. Actual products delivered may vary from those shown but will be in accordance with the specification as described.
PRICE
Prices to be charged will be those ruling at the date of the purchase of the product. Prices given in any quotation are those ruling at the date of the quotation and are given for guidance only.
DELIVERY
The rate or time of delivery in relation to any consignment or series of consignments is estimated as accurately as possible. Fine Mesh Metals will do its best to meet the requirements of the customer as to time of delivery as specified in the customer's enquiry but no guarantee or warranty as to time of delivery or rate of deliveries is given or implied. We aim to deliver stock items within 3-5 working days. All deliveries will be completed within 30 days unless the product is bespoke, in which case the delivery estimate will be specified.
DELIVERIES TO SITES
Where customers request deliveries to sites on or by a specific date, this company will do its best to meet such requirements but the company cannot give any guarantee nor can any claims be accepted on account of late deliveries. This is because our transport service, although normally reliable, is subject to various contingencies beyond our control, including road and weather conditions, breakdowns, accidents, delay in unloading at customer's premises, etc. Furthermore, we are sometimes in the hands of outside transport contractors over whom we do not have direct control. Customers are strongly advised, therefore, not to send labour to sites without first ensuring that the goods have been delivered to the desired location.
DAMAGE OR LOSS IN TRANSIT
This company will not accept responsibility for material damage or lost in transit, unless this company and the carriers are notified of the complaint in writing, within three days of the receipt, by the customer of the consignment in respect of which damage or shortage is alleged and an adequate opportunity is given for inspection of the material. In the case of non-delivery of a complete consignment notification must be made in writing within 21 days of the date shown on the invoice. In any event the liability of this company in respect of material damage or loss in transit, shall be limited to the cost of replacement of the loss or damage material.
DEFECTIVE MATERIAL
(a) This Company shall not be liable to the customer for any consequential or special loss or damage or any loss of profit suffered by the customer by reason of any defect or errors in quality or measurement of goods supplied.
(b) Any goods returned to this company by the customer at its own expense within seven days of the receipt, thereof by the customer, and which are found on examination by this company to be defective in quality or measurements. Will be replaced by this company free of charge but that will be the limit of this company's liability.
CUSTOMERS MATERIAL
If this company agrees to carry out work on customer's own material, or to store customers' goods after an invoice has been presented for the goods. Such material or goods will be held at the customer's risk and this company will not be responsible for the damage by accident, fire, flood, deterioration or any other cause.
CANCELLATION
Orders can be cancelled within 7 working days of receipt of goods. This excludes bespoke items such as products fabricated, cut to size or hand made to the customers specifications.
FORCE MAJEURE
If the manufacture or delivery of any material ordered by the customer, shall be prevented or delayed, directly or indirectly by fire, weather conditions, war (whether formerly declared or not) civil disturbance, strikes, industrial dispute or shortage of materials, or by any other cause outside the complete control of this company. This company shall be entitled to extend the period for the delivery of the materials for such reasonable period as may in the opinion of the company be sufficient to enable the delivery to be made. If this company does so elect, the buyer shall not be entitled to cancel the contract nor to receive any compensation of the resultant delay.
DELIVERY BY INSTALMENTS
Where under the terms of any contract delivery of material to a customer is made by installments whether in accordance with a pre-arranged program or not the following provisions shall apply.
(a) This company shall be entitled, without prejudice to any other right to terminate the contract or to suspend further deliveries there under in any of the following events.
(i) If any sum due and payable to this company by the customer is unpaid
(ii) If the customer shall without due cause have failed to take delivery of any goods
(iv) If the customer becomes insolvent, or goes into liquidation, whether voluntary or compulsory, (except a voluntary liquidation for the purpose of amalgamation or reconstruction only) or has a Receiver appointed, or if the customer is an individual or a partnership, has entered into any arrangement with his or their creditors or has had a receiving order in bankruptcy made against him or them.
PROPERTY TRANSFER
Property in these goods shall only pass to the customer from the date of payment in full, of all sums payable to the company in respect thereof. Until such time the goods remain the absolute property of the company.
