CONDITIONS OF CONTRACT governing all contracts for the sale of goods by Plastics for Games Ltd (“the Company”)

In these conditions “Buyer” means any person at whose request goods are supplied by the Company: and “goods” means any goods or replacements therefore supplied to the Buyer under the contract of sale. These Conditions shall apply to every contract entered into with the Company except as varied by express agreement in writing signed by a director of the Company. The headings are for convenience only and shall not effect construction of these Conditions.

1  FORMATION AND PARTIES
(a)            The Buyer’s order to the Company is an offer to enter into a contract upon these Conditions. Any terms or conditions proffered at anytime by the Buyer are hereby excluded. A quotation by the Company does not constitute an offer.
(b)            The Buyer shall not assign the benefit of the contract without the Company’s prior written consent.
(c)            The contract is not cancellable by the Buyer without express written consent of a director of the Company.
(d)            If the Company agrees cancellation by the Buyer, the Buyer shall indemnify the Company in full against all expenses incurred up to the time of cancellation and forthwith pay to the Company 5% of the contract price by way of liquidated damages.

2  PRICE
(a)            The prices quoted are exclusive of Value Added Tax. Except where stated by the Company to the contrary the price includes standard packing and excludes delivery. The cost of delivery and any additional packaging required by the Buyer shall be charged in addition to the price.
(b)            The Company reserves the right to vary the price of the goods by any amount attributable to a suspension of or alteration to work by reason of a change in the Buyer’s instructions or a lack of instructions or any variation in the cost of materials, labour, transport, duties, taxes, exchange rates or any costs of whatsoever nature between the date of the contract and the date of delivery or completion of payment.

3  DELIVERY
(a)            Delivery dates are estimates only and time of delivery is not of the essence of the contract. The Company shall use its reasonable endeavours to deliver the goods by the stated delivery date, but may suspend or delay delivery and shall not be liabIe for any loss whatsoever in the event of late delivery or non delivery of goods or any installment owing to any occurrence whatsoever beyond its control. The Buyer shall not be entitled to refuse to accept late delivery or treat late delivery as a breach of contract.
(b)            The Company may at its option deliver by installments, and each installment shall constitute a separate contract on these Conditions.
(c)            Delivery shall take place and risk shall pass upon the earliest of the following:­
 (i)             the Company handing the goods to the Buyer or its agent at the Company’s premises, or
(ii)             the goods leaving the Company’s premises, or
(iii)            the expiry of (in the case of inland orders) the eighth day or (in the case of export orders) the fifteenth day after notification by the Company to the Buyer that the goods are available for collection either at the Companies premises or, where the goods are situated  elsewhere, at such place.
(iv)            Unless otherwise agreed all export orders will be delivered f.o.b. at a British port to be notified by the Company.
(v)             If the Buyer shall fail to collect the goods by the expiry of the eighth day following notification as provided for in paragraph 3c(iii) above, the Company shall be at liberty to treat the contract as repudiated by the Buyer. Until the contract is so terminated the Company may at its option, either store the goods itself or have them stored by third parties on such terms as it in its absolute discretion thinks fit. The cost of storage and any additional transportation will be added to and form part of the price. If the Company elect to treat the contact as repudiated in accordance with this Condition it shall (without prejudice to its rights and remedies against the Buyer in respect of such repudiation) be at liberty to sell the goods and retain the proceeds thereof.

4  LOSS OR DAMAGE IN TRANSIT
The Buyer shall notify the Company and the carrier in writing of loss or damage to the goods in transit within 7 days after despatch.

(c)          The Company shall make good shortages (in excess of the permitted margin) notified to it under para 5(b) as soon as reasonably practicable but shall not be liable to any other loss whatsoever arising from such shortage.

(b)          The Company’s liability for defective goods is limited in all circumstances to (at the Company’s option) delivery of replacements or crediting or refunding of the invoice value to the Buyer and the Buyer shall accept such of the aforementioned remedies as the Company shall proffer as being fulfilment of the Company’s obligations under the contract. These Conditions shall apply mutatis mutandis to any replacement goods supplied by the Company.
(c)          The Company’s liability under this Condition applies only to defects appearing before the Buyer makes any modification or alteration to the goods and whilst the goods are being properly used and stored and in particular (but without limitation) the Company shall not be liable in the case of defects arising from normal deterioration or improper or faulty handling or processing by the Buyer.
