1.
a. The conditions set out below are the only terms on which we are
prepared to do our business unless a variation is specifically agreed
in writing signed by a director of SPEEDMALT LTD (" The company")
personally, if a purchaser or prospective perchance wishes to negotiate
a variation of the conditions either generally or in relation to
a specific transaction he must state such desire in writing by letter
addressed for the personal attention of a director of the company,
when the matter will be given attention. By not sending such letter
the purchaser or prospective purchaser acknowledges that he accepts
these conditions and that as between himself and the company any
standard terms which may appear on any of his stationary shall be
of no effect.
b. All goods offered are subject to remaining unsold.
c. Quotations, offers and tenders are for the whole of the goods
or service for which quotations are given by the company and the
company reserves the right to refuse acceptance of any orders which
constitute only part of the goods or services forming part of the
quotation, offer or tender.
d. Any quotation is open for acceptance for a period of 21 days
from the date of the quotation. The company reserves the right to
requote after this date.
e. If any order is not placed, the purchaser is liable to reimburse
any expenses incurred by the company at the purchaser's request.
2.
Subject to it being confirmed in writing or to it being detailed
within the sales invoice, the sellers warrant that at the time of
delivery the goods are in good working order, and that if any defect
appears within the time stated on the invoice after delivery and
notice is given within seven days of the defect appearing and if
the goods have at all times been used reasonably and normally by
competent persons and the buyers have not attempted to repair or
alter the goods or otherwise interfere with them, the sellers will
rectify the defect, or at their own option replace the goods. All
transport for repair of the goods shall be at the buyer's cost.
3.
The above warranty and undertaking do not apply if (a ) goods are
new and the makers guarantee is available (whether taken or not)
or (b) the goods are second-hand and are bought "ex-site",
that is when the goods are located on the premises of a third party
available for inspection (whether in fact inspected or not) or (c)
the goods are located on the companies premises and are purchased
without the benefit of any guarantee or warranty. Where at the time
the defect appears the goods are outside the United Kingdom the
sellers undertaking is limited to the replacement of any defective
part.
4.
All terms implied by the sale of goods act regarding any description
of the goods or their quality, condition or fitness for any purpose
are excluded. Sale is strictly on the terms that the buyer has every
opportunity to examine the goods and must satisfy himself as to
their condition and suitability. In particular it must be understood
that descriptions, and especially details given in catalogues or
similar documents are approximate only and are subject to check
by the buyers, any forecast regarding performance or details of
the goods in the documents or by word of mouth are not in any way
binding unless confirmed by the contract, they do not form any part
of the contract unless expressly agreed in writing on acceptance
of the order.
5.
The price unless otherwise stated does not include the cost of any
dismantling, transport, shipping, erection, installation or value added tax.
6.
The seller shall be entitled to increase the price of any goods
and any other charges in proportion to any increase to them in the
cost of goods, materials, labour and overheads (including taxes,
levies and currency exchange rate) between the date of the contract
and the date of delivery, the amount if not agreed to be decided
by arbitration. If any increase claimed exceeds 10% of the total
price the sellers entitle the buyers to be able to terminate the
contracts by notification in writing within seven days, but if the
goods have been delivered shall continue to be liable for the original
price until the goods have been returned in good working order at
the buyer's expense.
7.
Delivery to the buyer's is complete when the goods (whether to be
transported by the buyers, seller or any other persons) are loaded
on the transport for dispatch to the buyers and the risk then passes
on to the buyers, who should arrange their own insurance. Title to
the
goods does not pass until the full price, and any other charges are
paid and until then the buyers are not at liberty to sell, or otherwise
dispose of the goods and neither can they assign this contract.
8.
Where the sellers notify that the goods are ready for collection
and the buyer fails to take delivery or give transport instructions,
they shall be liable for storage charges (this to include an
allowance for insurance as actually kept on hand, by the sellers) on a day to
day basis after the first 28 days.
9.
The sellers shall be under no legal obligation for delay, but if
notice requiring delivery to the buyers is not fulfilled within
28 days from due date of delivery then the buyer may, by written means,
cancel the order.
10.
After the delivery, the sellers are not liable for damage or injury
to any persons arising from the goods or defect in them or use made
of them, and the buyers shall indemnify the sellers against any
such claim and shall effect any necessary insurance.
11.
The sellers shall not be liable for (in no circumstances whatsoever)
consequential loss of any kind (including spoilt materials and loss
of profit).
12.
Notwithstanding delivery, title to the goods shall remain with the
Seller, until the Buyer has paid in full. Therefore, if such payment is overdue in
whole or in, part Seller may (without prejudice to any of his other
rights) recover or resell the goods or any of them and may enter
upon Buyer' s premises for that purpose. If any of the goods are
incorporated in other goods before such payments, the property in
the whole of such goods shall be and remain with the Seller until
such payment has been made.
13.
Orders placed cannot be cancelled except with the Company's written
consent and on terms which will indemnify the Company against any damage
or consequential loss. Goods returned without the Company's consent
will not be accepted for credit.
14.
In the event of the performance of any obligation accepted by the
Company being prevented, delay or any way interfered with by either:
(i) direction of government, war, industrial dispute, strike, breakdown
of machinery or plant, accident, fire or by any cause beyond its
control or:
(ii) Non-delivery by the Company's suppliers or damage to or destruction
of the whole part of the goods. The Company may at its option suspend
performance or cancel its obligations under the contract without
liability for any damage or consequential loss resulting therefore,
such suspension or cancellation being without prejudice to the Company's
right to recover all sums owing to it in respect of consignment
delivered and cost incurred to date.
15.

of liability contained in Sections 2(i) and 6(i) of the Unfair Contract
Terms Act 1977 apply and
(ii) the absolute prohibitions against exclusion or restriction
of liability contained in Sections 6(ii) of the Unfair Contracts Terms
Act 1977 applies the purchaser must rely on its own skill and judgement
in relation to the Goods and the Company shall be under no liability
whatsoever to the Purchaser for any defect in, failure of, or unsuitability
for any purpose of the Goods or any part thereof whether the same
be due to any act, omission, negligence of wilful default of the
company or its servants or agents or to faulty design, workmanship
or materials or to any other cause whatsoever, and all conditions,
warranties or other terms whether express or implied statutory or
otherwise, inconsistent with the previsions of the Conditions are
hereby expressly excluded.
(b) The purchaser is advised to review his own insurance position
or alternatively to negotiate with the Company with a view to the
Company accepting greater liability to be covered by insurance in
consideration of an increase in the price and it as advised to test
the Good's before using them in order to ascertain their fitness
or suitability for the Purchaser's purpose as the Company is unable
to accept any greater liability that that accepted under Condition
15(a) above.
(c) All, if any, statements, recommendations and advice given by
the Company or the Company's servants or agents to the Purchaser
or its servants or agents as to any matter relating to the Goods
while given without responsibility and shall not give rise to any liability
whatsoever on the part of the Company and the Purchaser shall be
deemed to have represented and warranted to the Company by placing
an order that no representation has been made to it by or on behalf
of the Company that has in any way induced the Purchaser to enter
into the Contract with the Company.
16.
If any distress or execution shall be levied upon the Purchaser
or if the Purchaser shall enter into any negotiation or arrangement
or composition with its creditors or if any resolution is proposed
or petition presented to wind up the Purchaser or if a Receiver
of the Purchaser's assets or undertaking or any part thereof shall
be appointed, the Company shall be entitled to determine forthwith
any contract then subsisting without prejudice to any other claim
or right the Company might exercise.

for damages and costs against all liability in respect of any infringement
of patent rights resulting from compliance with the purchaser's
instructions express or implied.

following clause will prevail over any statement or implication
to the contrary in the London Chamber of Commerce and Industry Standard

cost before despatch should the purchasers wish. The company accepts
