and no other conditions shall apply unless expressly agreed in writing
by the seller.

occur, and an order is placed, you will be informed and given the option
of continuing the order at the correct price or cancelling the order.

additional charge will be levied.Please note that a signed consignment
note constitutes delivery of goods. Please check that the number of boxes
received, corresponds with the delivery note before signing.

be liable for any losses incurred by the buyer or any other person as
a result of any delay in the delivery of the goods or any part of the
order for any reason whatsoever. The due performance of the contract
is subject to cancellation or such variation as the seller may find necessary
as the result of instructions or lack of instructions from the buyer,
or as a result of industrial dispute or of any cause whatsoever beyond
the seller’s reasonable control. The seller reserves the right
to make partial deliveries.

is by credit/debit card or cheque. A credit account can be opened providing
you have been trading for one year and are registered for VAT and can
provide the necessary trade references. All Government bodies including
Councils, Schools, Universities, NHS etc. qualify for instant credit
facilities. Once an account has been opened terms are net cash within
30 days of date on invoice. We accept VISA, Mastercard, Delta, Switch,
Solo, JCB and VISA Electron.

Property of the
goods remains with the seller until full payment has been received by
the seller. Until full payment is received Equip4work Ltd may at any
time recover the goods and may enter the buyer’s premises for this
purpose. Nevertheless the risk in the goods passes to the buyer on delivery
and the buyer shall promptly effect and maintain in the joint names of
the parties, insurance of the goods against loss or damage in their full
invoice price until final payment.

or condition, express or implied, as to the merchantability of the goods
or their suitability for any purpose whatsoever. As far as it is able
the seller will assign to the buyer all rights conferred on it by any
of its suppliers. Insofar as quality of materials used in goods manufactured
for the seller is concerned, the seller shall have the option to repair,
replace (or at its sole discretion refund to the buyer the price of the
goods without any further liability) parts agreed by it as being defective,

of 1 year from the date of delivery to the buyer’s works. Goods

or modification, are excluded from this guarantee. Goods covered are

of the seller hereunder exceed that of the actual manufacturer of the
particular goods or parts thereof. Any liability on the part of the seller
is subject to terms of payment being met.
