- Ruling Conditions
All contracts entered into by the Company are subject to conditions to the exclusion of any and all printed terms and conditions by the Buyer. These conditions cannot be varied, suspended or added to except with the prior written consent of the Company. - Contracts
Separate Contract. Each order placed by the Buyer shall, on acceptance by the Company, be treated as a separate contract. If there shall be more than one contract in course of performance between the Company and the Buyer, any question, dispute or difficulty which may arise in respect of one such contract, or the terms on which it may be settled, shall not affect in any way the performance of the other contracts, nor shall the Buyer be entitled to exercise in relation to any other such contracts any right of set off counter claim arising under any other contract. - No contract will come into force between you and us, unless and until we accept your order in accordance with the procedure detailed below. In order to enter into a contract to purchase products from us, you will need to take the following steps: (i) you must add the products you wish to purchase to your shopping cart, and then proceed to the checkout (ii) You must select your preferred method of delivery and confirm your order and by doing so consent to these terms of sale; (iii) you will be transferred to our secure payment server which will handle your payment; (iv) we will then send you an initial acknowledgement; and (vi) once we have checked whether we are able to meet your order, we will either send you an order confirmation (at which point your order will become a binding contract) or we will confirm by email that we are unable to meet your order.”
- Future Contracts If, subsequent to any contract of sale which is subject to these conditions, a contract of sale is made with the same Buyer without express reference to any conditions, such contract shall be deemed to be subject to these Conditions.

- The Company reserves the right to vary the price of the goods by notice to the Buyer given at any time before delivery if, and to the extent that there is any increase in the price or cost of the goods to the Company by reason of any foreign exchange fluctuations, changes in currency regulations, alterations in duties or import, variations in the cost of raw materials, labour, services or transport, or by any reason or cause (whether or not of the same nature of the foregoing) beyond the control of the Company. Ownership of goods does not pass until full payment is received by the Company.

- Where the Buyer is a body corporate, its Director’s jointly and severally guarantees the Company of full payment and its obligations under this Agreement.
- Dispatch Dates Where as the Company will endeavour to meet anticipated dispatch dates they are given in good faith but are not guaranteed and no liability will be accepted for any loss, costs, damages or expense suffered by the Buyer, perceived or actual as a result of failure of the Company to meet any such date. Many variables exist outside the control of the Company that can affect anticipated dispatch dates, including unplanned absenteeism, machinery failure, quality issues, product faults and acts of God. Orders placed on the Company and subsequently accepted by the Company will be on the strict understanding that no attempt will be made by the Buyer to claim compensation for falling to meet the anticipated dispatch date by withholding payment or seeking compensation.

The Company shall not in any event be liable for any special consequential loss or damage (including, but without limitation, any loss of or in respect of profit, wages or overheads) suffered by the Buyer as a result of any delay in a failure of delivery.
- Delivery will be deemed to have taken place at the moment when the goods leave the Company. In all cases any third party carrier used to transport goods will be deemed to be the agent of the Buyer. The Buyer is totally responsible for any goods in transit and any losses, direct or consequential, or as a result of the carrier/s failure in meeting the delivery date or delivering to an incorrect address / department is the responsibility of the Buyer. It is the Buyers responsibility to ensure that delivery addresses are correct and that the recipient will be available to take delivery of the goods on the day they are due to arrive. If the recipient is not present to take delivery the Company will charge the Buyer for each additional attempt at delivery. The Company will under no circumstances take any responsibility for delivery to exhibition venues, conference venues and private homes. Goods sent to these destinations are at the Buyers own risk of loss, late delivery or non-delivery.
