Terms & Conditions

 

These Conditions of sale (“the Conditions”) shall apply, to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions, to each transaction (“the Contract”) for the sale of goods (“the Goods”) by Townley Office Supplies Ltd (“the Company”) to a purchaser of Goods (“the Buyer”), unless otherwise agreed in writing as provided below.

 

The British Paper and Board Trade Customs 1988 as amended from time to time (“the Customs”) shall apply to each Contract unless inconsistent with the terms of the contract in which case the contract shall apply.

 

The price of the goods (“the Price”) shall be the Company’s quoted price and shall be exclusive of VAT, Delivery, carriage and insurance. The Company shall be entitled to increase the price at any time before the goods are despatched to reflect any increase in the cost to the company arising from any factor beyond its control or any changes in delivery dates, quantities or specifications requested by the buyer or any delay caused by the buyer’s failure to provide adequate information or instructions.

 

Unless otherwise agreed, the Buyer shall pay the Price (whether or not formally demanded) on or before the end of the month following the month in which the goods are delivered. The time of payment of the Price shall be of the essence of the Contract.

 

If the buyer fails to make any payments when due then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to:

  • 1.      cancel the contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Buyer;
  • 2.      charge the Buyer interest (both before and after any judgement) on the amount unpaid at the rate of 4% per annum above Lloyds base rate from time to time until payment in full is made, such interest to be compounded at quarterly intervals;
  • 3.      withdraw all credit facilities extended to the Buyer and require immediate payment of any and all outstanding invoices issued by the Company to the Buyer whether or not they are due for payment;
  • 4.      cancel and withdraw any discount allowed to the Buyer on the Price. 

Any date quoted for delivery of the Goods shall be approximate only and the Company shall not be liable for any delay in the delivery of the Goods whatsoever. Delivery shall be made to the address agreed with the Company.

 

If the Buyer fails to take delivery of the Goods or fails to give adequate delivery instructions to the Company then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Company, the Company may store the Goods until actual delivery and charge the Buyer for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage and after a period of 7 days sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and ( after deducting reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to the Buyer for the excess over the Price or charge the Buyer the amount of any Shortfall.

 

Risk of damage to, or loss of, the Goods shall pass to the Buyer on delivery or, if the Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery, at the time when delivery is tendered. The property in the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until the Company has received payment in full of the Price of all other Goods agreed to be sold by the Company to the Buyer for which payment is then due.

 

Until property in the Goods passed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall hold the Goods as the Company’s fiduciary agent and bailee, shall keep the Goods separate from those of the Buyer and third parties, keep the Goods properly stored, protected and insured and identified as the Company’s property and the Buyer shall not pledge or charge the Goods by way of security or otherwise. Until that time the Buyer shall be entitled to resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business but shall account to the Company for the proceeds of sale or otherwise of the Goods and shall keep all such proceeds separate from any monies or property of the Buyer and third parties and, in the case of tangible proceeds, properly stored, protected and insured. The Company shall be entitled at any time to require the Buyer to deliver up the Goods to the Company and, if the Buyer fails to do so, to enter upon any premises of the Buyer or of any third party where the Goods are stored and repossess the Goods. Any breach of this clause by the Buyer shall cause all monies owing to the Company to become immediately due and payable.

 

If the Buyer makes any voluntary arrangement with its creditors, becomes subject to an Administration Order, or (being an individual or firm) becomes bankrupt, or (being a company) goes into liquidation (otherwise than for the purpose of amalgamation or reconstruction), or an encumbrance takes possession, or a Receiver is appointed of any of the property or assets of the Buyer, or the Buyer ceases or threatens to cease to carry on business or the Company reasonably apprehends that any of the events mentioned in this clause is about to occur ( and notifies the Buyer accordingly) then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to cancel the Contract or suspend any further deliveries without any liability on the part of the Company and if the Goods have been delivered but not paid for, the Price shall become immediately due and payable notwithstanding any previous agreement to the contrary.
