All other terms, conditions or other representations are excluded from the Contract, including any terms and conditions which the Purchaser may purport to apply under any Contract, and these Terms and Conditions shall prevail and shall govern the Contract to the entire exclusion of any express or implied terms. By accepting the Order or by ordering Items from using the Website the Purchaser agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS DO NOT AFFECT THE PURCHASER'S STATUTORY RIGHTS .

  • No statement, description, information, warranty, condition or recommendation contained in any catalogue, price list, advertisement or communication or made verbally by any of the agents, representatives or employees of the GPI shall be construed to vary in any way any of the terms and conditions under the Contract unless otherwise agreed in accordance with Clause19 .
  • All illustrations contained in the GPI's brochures, catalogues, advertisements or price lists are approximate only and are intended merely to give a general idea of the items described therein and shall not form part of the Contract.
  • Any written quotation, estimate and/or advertised price for the Items shall be an invitation to treat and no binding contract shall be created by placing an Order on the GPI website or otherwise until the GPI has acknowledged the Order to the Purchaser either verbally or in writing (as appropriate).
  • These Terms and Conditions apply to all purchases of Items from the GPI whether from its Website, by telesales, facsimile, e-mail or otherwise.
  • Any reference in the Contract to "writing" or cognate expressions, include a reference to any communication effected by the Website, telex, cable, facsimile, email or any comparable means.

The changes will apply to the use of the Website after the GPI has given notice. If the Purchaser does not wish to accept the new Terms and Conditions the Purchaser should not continue to use the Website. If the Purchaser continues to use the Website after the date on which the change comes into effect, the Purchaser's use of the Website indicates its agreement to be bound by the new Terms and Conditions.

3. PURCHASER'S DESIGN

  • The Purchaser warrants that the Design it supplies to the GPI is accurate and free from error. Subject to Clause 3.2, the GPI shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages, costs or expenses suffered by the Purchaser resulting from any error or inaccuracy in such Design.
  • Where the GPI supplies Items bearing printed matter for the Design no claim whatsoever shall be made in respect of -

No such claim can be accepted if the said contents, Design or position comply with a proof submitted to and approved by the Purchaser or the GPI;

4. DELIVERY

  • Any time or date given for delivery of the Items whether specified in the Order or otherwise given by the GPI shall be taken as an estimate made by the GPI in good faith but shall not be binding upon the GPI as a term of the Contract or otherwise. Time of delivery is not of the essence for the purposes of the Contract and the GPI will not be liable for any loss or damage sustained by the Purchaser in consequence of any failure to deliver within such time or by such date or in consequence of the delay howsoever caused.
  • Risk in the Items shall pass to the Purchaser from the time of despatch to the Purchaser or its agent and the Purchaser shall insure the Items against loss and damage by fire or other insurable risk from that time until the price thereof has been paid in full and cleared funds. The Purchaser shall hold on trust for the GPI any insurance monies received as a result of such loss or damage.
  • Where Items are delivered by instalments under the Contract each instalment shall be deemed to be sold under a separate Contract and any failure on the part of the GPI for the delivery of a particular instalment or any defects in workmanship or materials affecting any particular instalment shall not entitle the Purchaser to repudiate the Contract with regard to any instalments remaining deliverable or to refuse or withhold payment for any Items delivered.

5. NOTICE OF NON-DELIVERY, SHORTAGE OR DAMAGED GOODS

The Purchaser shall notify the GPI of any shortage of or damage to Items delivered within 24 hours of delivery or collection and such notification shall be confirmed in writing by the Purchaser within 7 days of delivery.

Items damaged in transit should not be accepted from the carrier and no credit will be given for or replacements made of Items accepted from the carrier in a damaged condition.

6. MINIMUM ORDER

The GPI reserves the right to establish a minimum order level. The Items delivered against an Order may vary in accordance with normal trade tolerances from the specifications stated in such Order, and the Purchaser shall not be entitled to claim any allowance in respect of such variation.

7. PASSING OF TITLE

  • Ownership of the Items shall remain solely with the GPI until such time as the Purchaser has paid to the GPI the agreed price in full and cleared funds for all the Items under the Contract and any other contract between the parties.
  • The Purchaser acknowledges that the Purchaser is in possession of the Items solely as a bailee of the GPI until such time as the full price thereof is paid in full and cleared funds to the GPI under Clause 8.1 above.
  • Until such time as the Purchaser becomes the owner of the Items the Purchaser will store the Items on its premises separately from the Purchaser's own items or third party items and in a manner which makes them readily identifiable as the Items of the GPI.
  • The Purchaser's right to possession of the Items shall cease if it does or suffers to be done any act or thing which would or might entitle the GPI to treat the Contract as having been repudiated for any reason.
  • In the event of failure to pay the price in accordance with the Contract or any other default by the Purchaser under the Contract or any other contract between the parties, the GPI , its servants and agents may forthwith enter upon any premises or land occupied or owned by the Purchaser and may repossess all Items in relation to which ownership remains with the GPI. The Purchaser will co-operate in the identification of the GPI's Items. The GPI may exercise any right of re-sale in respect of Items which shall operate in addition to any other legal rights which may accrue to the GPI.
  • Subject to the other terms of the Contract, the Purchaser is licensed by the GPI to agree to sell the Items, subject to the express condition that such sale shall be made by the Purchaser as agent and bailee of the GPI, whether the Purchaser shall sell on its own account or not, and the entire proceeds thereof are held on trust for the GPI until payment of the agreed price, and may not be mingled with other monies and shall be at all times identifiable as GPI monies.
  • If the GPI has not received the proceeds of any sale under Clause 8.6 above, the Purchaser will upon being called so to do by the GPI, within 7 days thereof, assign to the GPI all rights against the person or persons to whom the Purchaser has supplied the Items.

8. PRICE

  • All prices quoted are exclusive of VAT and unless specifically stated are based upon costs current at the date of quotation.
  • The Purchaser is responsible for the payment of all costs relating to the delivery, packaging, and other applicable taxes and levies in relation to the Items.
  • The price of Items may be subject to variation to take account of variations in labour, materials or other costs since the date of the GPI's quotation or (if no quotation is issued) the Purchaser's Order. The GPI accordingly reserves the right to adjust the invoice price payable by the amount of an increase or decrease in such costs after the price is quoted and the invoice so adjusted shall be payable as if it were the original Contract price.
  • The Purchaser agrees that section 32(3) of the Sale of Items Act 1979 shall not apply to Items sent by the GPI.

9. PAYMENT

  • Each consignment of Items may be invoiced separately and the GPI's invoices shall be paid by the Purchaser in full and cleared funds within 7 days following the date upon which the items were despatched or collected or order was placed.
  • If for any reason the Purchaser is unable to accept delivery when due, the Items will be invoiced and payment will fall due 7 days following the date upon which the Items were ready for delivery or collection or order was placed. In such case the GPI will, if facilities permit, store the Items at the Purchaser's risk and expense until delivery and reserves the right to make additional charges for such storage and for any extra handling and transportation. This clause shall not affect any rights the GPI may have against a Purchaser for failing to accept delivery.
  • If the Purchaser fails to make any payments when due the GPI, may at its option and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which it may have under the contract: -
  • suspend any further deliveries until payment is made; or
  • repudiate the Contract;

and the GPI shall be entitled to charge interest (both before and after judgment) on the outstanding balance of all overdue accounts from the date of the invoice until the time of payment calculated on a daily basis at a rate of 4% above the base rate from time to time Bank of England.

  • Time for payment is of the essence for the purposes of the Contract.
  • The GPI shall be entitled to suspend any and all deliveries and instalments until payment for all earlier deliveries has been made and the date for delivery shall be postponed to the extent to which such deliveries are suspended.
  • The Purchaser shall not be entitled to withhold payment of any amount payable under the Contract (or any other contract between the parties) because of a disputed claim of the Purchaser in respect of faulty Items or any other breach of contract, nor shall the Purchaser be entitled to set-off against any amount payable under the Contract (or any other contract between the parties) to the GPI any monies which are or are purported to be payable by the GPI.

In the event of this outstanding amount remaining unpaid after a period of 30 days the account will then be transferred to an independent third party debt recovery team whose minimum fee will be either £450 + VAT or 23% + VAT of the original amount (whichever is greater). This can also adversely affect the client's ability to obtain credit in the future.
 

10. SUPPLY OF GOODS AND CANCELLATION OF ORDERS

  • The Purchaser may not cancel any Orders for Items made to the Purchaser's specific requirements. Orders for Items kept in stock may be cancelled or returned only with the prior written consent of the GPI and within 7 days of the Order being placed by the Purchaser. In the event of such cancellation the Purchaser will be obliged to pay a re-stocking and handling charge and any administration costs involved.
  • In respect of any Items supplied by the GPI but manufactured by third parties, the benefit of warranties or guarantees given to the GPI by such third party manufacturers or suppliers will wherever practicable be passed to the Purchaser subject to the terms and conditions upon which they were given by the third party.
  • Where the GPI has provided artwork, such artwork shall be approved by the Purchaser or those acting on its behalf and no change to the artwork will be accepted once the said artwork has been used in production of any Items to be supplied to the Purchaser unless the Purchaser is prepared to accept a variation to the contract price as a result of such change. The Purchaser must confirm his acceptance to the variation of the Contract price in writing.
  • Except as provided in these Terms and Conditions, all warranties, (whether express or implied by statute or common law or howsoever) including without limitation those of satisfactory quality or of fitness for a particular purpose (even if that purpose is made known expressly or by implication of the GPI) are hereby excluded.
  • Samples are not refundable and cannot be returned. We offer the samples purchasing option for the future customer to check the quality and look of the item before bigger order or for the purpose of presenting them to your customers.
