2.2 The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order are complete and accurate.
2.3 The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when FLONIDAN issues a written acceptance of the Order (or upon electronic confirmation for an Order), at which point the Contract shall come into existence.

2.5 Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter or advertising produced by FLONIDAN and any descriptions or illustrations contained in FLONIDAN catalogues or brochures are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods and/or Services described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.
2.6 Any quotation given by FLONIDAN shall not constitute an offer. A quotation shall only be valid for a period of 60 Business Days from its date of issue.
Goods
3.1 The Goods are described in FLONIDAN’s data sheets as set out on its website as modified by any applicable Specification.
3.2 FLONIDAN reserves the right to amend any Specification if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.
3.3 If the quoted price includes carriage, point of delivery will be deemed to take place at the point of entry to the Customer’s works or site specified in the Contract. Unless otherwise stated, FLONIDAN will not be responsible for offloading. The method of carriage shall be selected by FLONIDAN at its discretion.
3.4 If the quoted price for the Goods does not include carriage, point of delivery will take place when the goods leave FLONIDAN’s works, however transported.
3.5 All returnable containers, pallets and frames will be invoiced and must be paid for by the Customer at the time of payment for the Goods or otherwise as agreed in writing between FLONIDAN and the Customer. When returned, carriage paid, in good condition to FLONIDAN’s works, full credit for these charged and returnable containers, pallets and frames will be made. This shall not apply to deliveries to overseas destinations.
3.6 Notwithstanding that property in the Goods shall not pass until payment, all Goods shall be at the risk of the Customer from the point of delivery.

3.11 Any dates quoted for delivery of Goods are estimates and approximate only. No warranty is given for the specific time of delivery. Time of delivery is not of the essence. FLONIDAN shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer's failure to provide FLONIDAN with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods, or in any event any delay which is less than 4 months from the original estimated time of delivery.
3.12 If FLONIDAN fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Customer in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. FLONIDAN shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer's failure to provide FLONIDAN with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
3.13 The Customer shall not be entitled to reject the Goods if FLONIDAN delivers up to and including 10% more or less than the quantity of Goods ordered, but a pro rata adjustment shall be made to the Order invoice on receipt of notice from the Customer that the wrong quantity of Goods was delivered.
3.14 FLONIDAN may deliver the Goods by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate Contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment.
Warranty of Goods Manufactured by FLONIDAN

(a) Save as set out in clause 4.1(b), FLONIDAN warrants that on the point of delivery, and (unless specifically agreed otherwise before order placement) for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery (Warranty Period), the Goods shall conform in all material respects with their description and any applicable Specification.
(b) Where product has been supplied to FLONIDAN and then sold on as Goods without alteration, FLONIDAN will grant to the Customer any warranty identical to any Bespoke Warranty but expressly subject to FLONIDAN’s additional limitations set out in clause 10.

(a) the Customer gives notice in writing to FLONIDAN during the Warranty Period that some or all of the Goods do not comply with the warranty set out in clause 4.1;
(b) FLONIDAN is given a reasonable opportunity of examining such Goods; and
(c) the Customer (if asked to do so by FLONIDAN) returns such Goods to FLONIDAN’s place of business or otherwise makes the Goods available in a safe and above ground location where FLONIDAN can reasonably undertake any remedial works necessary, FLONIDAN shall, at its option, repair or replace the defective Goods, or refund the price of the defective Goods in full.

Save as provided in these Conditions, FLONIDAN shall have no liability to the Customer in respect of the Goods’ failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 4.1.
Title and Risk
5.1 The risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer from the point of delivery.
5.2 Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until:
(a) FLONIDAN receives payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods and any other goods that FLONIDAN has supplied to the Customer in respect of which payment has become due, in which case title to the Goods shall pass at the time of payment of all such sums; unless
(b) (in circumstances where the Customer is a mercantile agent and it resells the Goods in the normal course of trade); in which case title to the Goods shall pass to the Customer at the time specified in clause 5.4.
5.3 Until title to the Goods has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall:
(a) store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Customer so that they remain readily identifiable as FLONIDAN property;

However, if the Customer resells the Goods before FLONIDAN receives payment for them the Customer will hold on trust for FLONIDAN so much of the proceeds of sale received by it, under contracts which include any of the Goods hereby sold either in their original or altered state, as are necessary to discharge payment in full to FLONIDAN

FLONIDAN may have:
(a) the Customer's right to resell the Goods or use them in the ordinary course of its business ceases immediately; and
(b) FLONIDAN may at any time:
(i) require the Customer to deliver up all Goods in its possession which have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product; and
(ii) if the Customer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Customer or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.
Supply of Services
6.1 FLONIDAN shall provide the Services to the Customer in accordance with the Service Specification in all material respects.
6.2 Any performance dates specified by FLONIDAN for delivery or completion of the Services shall be estimates only and time shall not be of the essence for the performance of the Services.

6.4 FLONIDAN warrants that the Services will correspond with their description. All implied terms pertaining to the skill and care with which the services are provided are expressly excluded.

(e) at the customers cost prepare in all material respects the property and/or area (if not owned or occupied by FLONIDAN) where the Services are to be deployed for the supply of the Services and prepare in all material respects any relevant items which are intended to be the subject of the Services so that the Services may begin on time and without delay or further preparatory work not specifically agreed and costed by FLONIDAN;
(f) obtain and maintain all necessary licences, permissions and consents which may be required for the Services before the date on which the Services are to start; and

7.2 If FLONIDAN's performance of any of its obligations in respect of the Services or the Goods is prevented or delayed by any act or omission of the Customer or failure by the Customer to perform any relevant obligation (Customer Default):
(a) FLONIDAN shall without limiting its other rights or remedies have the right to suspend performance of the Services and/or further delivery of the Goods until the Customer remedies the Customer Default, and FLONIDAN shall be relieved from the performance of any of its obligations to the extent the Customer Default prevents or delays FLONIDAN's performance of any of its obligations;
(b) FLONIDAN shall not be liable for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by the Customer arising directly or indirectly from FLONIDAN's failure or delay to perform any of its obligations caused directly or indirectly by a Customer Default; and

8.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the price of the Goods is exclusive of the costs and charges of packaging, insurance and transport of the Goods.

8.4 FLONIDAN reserves the right to:
(a) adjust the price of the Goods, by giving notice to the Customer at any time before delivery, to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods to FLONIDAN that is due to:

(ii) any request by the Customer to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered, or the Goods Specification; or

The Customer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.
