(c) Any Order by the Customer constitutes an offer by the Customer to purchase the Goods in accordance with these conditions. The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted on the earlier of when the Company issues a written acceptance of the Order or when the Company takes any steps to commence the fulfilment of the Order, at which point the Contract shall come into existence. Acceptance of Orders is subject to the availability of the raw materials or other goods necessary for the production of the Goods.

(d) The Customer shall ensure that the terms of any Orders are complete and accurate.

3 Specifications

(a) Samples, illustrations and descriptive matter provided in brochures, price lists and advertising matter of the Company are produced only to give an approximate idea of the Goods and no prices or other particulars contained therein shall form part of the Contract.

(b) The Company reserves the right to make non-material alterations in construction, design, operating parameters, materials and packaging as the Company considers desirable without prior notice.

4 Confidentiality

The Company's specifications, drawings, descriptions, know how, pricing and other confidential information (in whatever form and however recorded or disclosed), and any copies thereof by the Customer, which may be passed to or come into the possession of the Customer shall be treated by the Customer as confidential and shall not be disclosed to any third party or used by the Customer for any purpose other than the supply of Goods by the Company to the Customer. All confidential information provided by the Company shall remain the Company's property and shall be returned to the Company on demand.

5 Intellectual Property Rights & Copywright

(b) All IPR subsisting in the design and manufacture of the Goods (including Goods made to Customer's specification) are the property of the Company or its licensors (as the case may be).

(c) This website is Copyright © 2016 Koodoo Technologies Ltd and All Rights are Reserved.

6 Prices

(a) Prices quoted are valid for only 30 days from date of quotation, thereafter the Company may alter the price without notice to the Customer and any Order received after such date shall be at the price given at the date of the Order. However, the Company reserves the right to alter the price quoted to take account of any increases in costs including (but not limited to) labour, overheads, transportation, raw materials and/or fluctuation of exchange rates between the quotation date and date of delivery of the Goods.

(b) Unless expressly stated to the contrary any price quoted does not include carriage costs, value added tax or any other tax to which the transaction may be subject, or collation or packaging of the Goods, which shall be paid by the Customer.

7 Payment

(a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment shall be made in full by customers, prior to dispatch of the Goods.

(b) The Customer shall pay the price in accordance with the terms of the Contract without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (except for any deduction or withholding required by law).

(c) In respect of any invoice or account balance not paid by the due date, the Company reserves the right to suspend deliveries and to charge interest at an annual rate of 3% above the base lending rate of Natwest plc for the time being in force, calculated from day to day from the due date for payment to the date of payment in full whether before or after judgment. The Customer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.

8 Delivery

(a) Any delivery dates given by the Company are estimates only and are subject to change. Whilst the Company will make every effort to meet the dates, no liability will attach to the Company for any delays or loss from failure to meet them. Time of delivery is not of the essence of the Contract.

(b) Without prejudice to the generality of condition 7(a), the Company shall not be liable for any delay in or failure of delivery caused by the unavailability of any raw materials or equipment or the Customer's instructions or lack of them.

(c) If the Goods are to be delivered to the Customer, delivery shall be effected at the time of delivery to the address provided by the Customer. If Goods are to be collected by the Customer its servants or agents, delivery shall be effected at the time of collection.

(d) The Company may deliver Orders in instalments but the Customer shall not be entitled to demand delivery by instalments. Where Goods are delivered by instalments, each instalment shall be deemed to be a separate Contract and shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Failure by the Customer to make payment by the due date for any instalment entitles the Company, without prejudice to any other rights it may have under the Contract, to suspend deliveries of Goods to the Customer.

9 Loss Or Damage In Transit

(a) No liability in respect of Goods lost or damaged in transit will attach to the Company unless the Customer notifies the Company in writing within 24 hours of delivery. It is the Customer's responsibility to check that Goods are received in good condition prior to signing the carrier's delivery note. The Company will not be held responsible for any delivery signed for as “in good condition” which is subsequently reported by the Customer to the Company to have been damaged in transit.

(b) The Company's liability in respect of Goods lost or damaged in transit is limited to repair or at its discretion replacement of any such Goods. If so requested by the Company, the Customer shall return the Goods in question to The Cube, 19 Love Lane, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7 1YP, within 21 days of the date of the written notice referred to in condition 9(a).

10 Errors

The Company reserves the right to correct any typographical errors made by its employees, agents or servants.

11 Risk and Title in the Goods

(a) Title in the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until such time as the Goods have been paid for in full and all sums due to the Company under the Contract between the Company and the Customer have been paid in full. Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer on delivery.

(b) For so long as the Customer remains in possession of the Goods and whilst title thereto remains with the Company, the Customer shall: (i) store the Goods separately from other Goods held by the Customer so that they remain readily identifiable as the Company's property; (ii) not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods; (iii) maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price on the Company's behalf from the date of delivery; (iv) notify the Company immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events set out in conditions 13(a)(i) to 13(a)(iii); and (vi) give the Company such information relating to the Goods as the Company may require from time to time, but the Customer may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business.

(c) If, before title to the Goods passes to the Customer, the Customer becomes subject to any of the events set out in conditions 13(a)(i) to 13(a)(iii), or the Company reasonably believes that the Customer is about to become subject to any of the events set out in conditions 13(a)(i) to 13(a)(iii), or the Customer's financial position deteriorates to such an extent that in the Company's opinion the Customer's capability to adequately fulfil its obligations under the Contract has been placed in jeopardy, then without limiting any other right or remedy the Company may have: (i) the Customer's right to resell the Goods or use them in the ordinary course of business ceases immediately; and (ii) the Company may at any time require the Customer to deliver up all Goods in its possession which have not been resold, and if the Customer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises where the Goods are held in order to repossess them.

12 Cancellation and Returns

(a) The Customer may only cancel an Order, once the Company has taken any steps to commence the fulfilment of the Order, with the Company's prior written consent (which may be given by email, and at the Company's sole and absolute discretion). The Company will refuse to accept any Goods returned to the Company without prior permission. Custom-made or modified products are non-returnable.

(b) Goods can only be returned by the Customer following authorisation in writing from the Company's Sales Manager (which may include email) and a returns number. Goods must be returned by the Customer to the Company within 7 days of the date of issue of the returns number.

(c) In respect of any Goods returned to the Company with its permission or the cancellation of any Contract which is accepted at the sole discretion of the Company, the Customer shall be responsible for returning the Goods to the Company (including the cost of returning the Goods) and to pay to the Company an administration/restocking charge of 20% of the total value of the Contract price. The Company shall be entitled to deduct from any refund given by the Company to the Customer for such Goods the cost of delivery of the Goods to the Customer and the restocking charge. Acceptance of any cancellation by the Company shall be without prejudice to any liabilities which have arisen under these conditions prior to acceptance of cancellation, and are subject to the Goods being returned to the Company packaged in the same manner as they were originally sent.
