Terms and Conditions
These conditions apply to and govern all contracts between TTS Mechanical Services Ltd (hereinafter called “the seller or TTSM) and the purchaser of the goods or the services from the Company (hereinafter called “the Customer”). All goods & services are subject to the following Terms & Conditions and supersede any terms & conditions sought to be enforced by the customer, whether detailed on the purchase order or not. These terms & conditions are shown below.
1. ORDERS RECEIVED
Any order placed with the Seller by a customer whether in writing, verbally, by fax, telex or telegram shall be deemed to constitute an offer by the customer to enter into a contract upon these conditions and such an offer shall only be deemed to have been accepted when the Seller despatches to the Customer the goods accompanied by an advice note / invoice.
2. GOODS SUPPLIED
Goods supplied by the Seller shall be at the Customers risk immediately on delivery to the Customer or into custody on the Customers behalf, (whichever is the sooner) and the Customer should therefore be insured accordingly. Legal title to all goods supplied by the Seller to the Customer will continue to belong to the Seller until such time as the Customer has paid for the goods in full, including VAT, and has also paid for all other goods supplied by the Seller to the Customer whether or not such payments relate to the goods the subject of this invoice and whether or not under the terms of trading between the Seller and the Customers payment is yet due to the Seller. Until such time as property and title has so passed, the Seller shall be entitled to require the Customer to re-deliver the goods and shall also have the right to attend the Customers premises (or wherever the goods are held on the Customers behalf) and recover the same in each case without the need for prior notice.
The Sellers rights pursuant to this Clause 2 shall continue to apply in respect of any goods or equipment into which goods supplied pursuant to this Contract are incorporated.
3. QUOTATIONS
Quotations whilst always available and given freely, do not constitute an offer by the Seller, and no order from the Customer shall create a binding contract until considered and accepted by the Seller as provided for in Clause 1 of these Terms & Conditions.
4. CATALOGUES
Literature, price lists and other advertisement matter are purely an indication of the types of goods available & offered, and any price or other particulars contained therein shall not be binding on the Seller.
