2.BASIS OF CONTRACT
2.1 The Order constitutes an offer by You to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Conditions. You are responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order and any Specification submitted by You are complete and accurate.
2.2 The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when We issue a written acceptance of the Order or on the dispatch of the Goods to You (whichever is earlier), at which point the Contract shall come into existence.
2.3 Business Customers: These Conditions constitute the entire agreement between Us in relation to Your purchase of the Goods. You acknowledge that You have not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance or warranty made or given by or on behalf of Us which is not set out in
these Conditions and that You shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation [or negligent misstatement] based on any statement in this agreement.
2.4 Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter, or advertising produced by Us and any descriptions or illustrations contained in Our catalogues or brochures are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.
2.5 A quotation for the Goods given by Us shall not constitute an offer. A quotation shall only be valid for a period of 30 days from its date of issue unless otherwise stated in writing.
3. PRICE
3.1 The price of the Goods shall be the price set out in the Quote, or, if no price is quoted, the price set out in Our published price list in force as at the date of delivery.
3.2 The price set out in the Quote excludes VAT (unless otherwise stated). VAT will be charged at the rate applying at the time of delivery.
3.3 The price quoted excludes delivery (unless otherwise stated in the Quote).

3.6 Business customers: at any time before delivery We may adjust the price to reflect any increase in Our costs of supplying the Goods. However, We shall supply written notice of this should it be applicable to You.
3.7 It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Goods We sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting Your order so that, where the product’s correct price at Your Order date is less than Our stated price at Your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product’s correct price at Your order date is higher than the price stated to You, We will contact you for Your instructions before We accept your Order. If We accept and process Your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by You as a mispricing, We may end the Contract, refund You any sums You have paid and require the return of any goods provided to You.
4. DELIVERY
4.1 We shall deliver the Goods to the location set out in the Quote or such other location as We may agree with You (“Delivery Location”) as follows:
4.1.1 Business Customers: at any time after We notify You that the Goods are ready.
4.1.2 Consumers: as soon as practicably possible and within 30 days of accepting Your Order unless We contact You within 30 days of accepting Your Order to agree an alternative delivery date.
4.2 Where reasonably practical, We shall ensure that each delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note which shows the date of the Order, all relevant reference numbers (if any), the type and quantity of the Goods and, if the Order is being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of the Goods remaining to be delivered.
4.3 Delivery of the Goods shall be completed on the Goods’ arrival at the Delivery Location, being either:
4.3.1 at Our premises (if You are collecting the Goods or arranging Your own carriage); or
4.3.2 at Your premises or address as specified by You (if We are arranging carriage) in the Order.
4.4 Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and time for delivery is not of the essence. We shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a Force Majeure Event or Your failure to provide Us with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
4.5 You must inspect the Goods on delivery and sign the delivery note provided (if any) and endorse the delivery note with details of any visible damage observed. If any Goods are damaged or not delivered, You must write to tell Us within 3 Business Days of delivery or the expected delivery time. You must give Us (and any carrier) a fair chance to inspect the damaged Goods.
4.6 Consumers: If Our supply of the Goods is delayed by an event outside Our control then We will contact You as soon as possible to let You know and We will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided We do this We will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay You may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any Goods You have paid for but not received.
4.7 Consumers: If You have asked to collect the Goods from Our premises, You can collect them from Us at any time during Our office hours from Monday to Friday (inclusive) but excluding public holidays.

4.11 Business Customers: If We fail to deliver the Goods within a reasonable time, You may (by informing Us in writing) cancel the Contract, however:
4.11.1 You may not cancel if We receive Your notice after the Goods have been dispatched; and
4.11.2 if You cancel the Contract, You can have no further claim against Us under that Contract.
4.12 Business Customers: If You accept delivery of the Goods after the estimated delivery time, it will be on the basis that You have no claim against Us for delay (including indirect or consequential loss, or increase in the price of the Goods).
4.13 Business Customers: We 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 You to cancel any other instalment.

13.11.3 Your right as a consumer to change Your mind does not apply in respect of any Goods which become mixed inseparably with other items or are modified, adapted, cut or fitted after their delivery.
13.11.4 You have 14 days after the day You (or someone You nominate) receives the goods to change Your mind, unless:

13.11.7 We will pay the costs of return:
a. if the products are faulty or misdescribed;

13.11.10 If You are entitled to a refund under these Conditions We will refund You the price You paid for the Goods including delivery costs, by the method You used for payment. However, We may make deductions from the price, as described at clause 13.11.11 below.
13.11.11 We may make deductions from refunds if You are exercising Your right to change Your mind as follows:
a. We may reduce Your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the Goods, if this has been caused by Your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. See our Returns page www.reddiseals.com/ordering for information about what handling is acceptable and examples. If We refund You the price paid before We are able to inspect the Goods and later discover You have handled them in an unacceptable way, You must pay Us an appropriate amount.
b. The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method We offer. For example, if we offer standard delivery of Goods at one cost but You choose to have the Goods delivered by a preferential or timed delivery at a higher cost, then We will only refund what You would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
c. Where the Goods involve a service, We may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when You told Us you had changed Your mind. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.
13.11.12 We will make any refunds due to You as soon as possible. If You are exercising Your right to change Your mind then:
a. If We have not offered to collect the Goods, Your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which We receive the Goods back from You or, if earlier, the day on which You provide Us with evidence that You have sent the Goods back to us.

clause 11.2.
b. In all other cases, Your refund will be made within 14 days of Your telling Us You have changed Your mind.
