Terms and Conditions

1. General

Any order accepted by Patton Ltd (“the Company”) whether or not it is based on any quotation or tender given by the Company is to be deemed to incorporate these terms and conditions. No variation or modification of, or substitution for, these terms and conditions (even if included in, or referred to in, the document placing the order) shall be binding on the Company, unless specifically accepted by the Company in writing.

2. Prices

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company, the Company reserves the right to vary the price quoted for the goods in order to conform with the Company’s prices for such goods ruling at the date of despatch, or to take account of any increase in wages, salaries, or cost of materials, between the date of the order and the date of delivery. This includes increases in prices of imported goods due to increased freight rates, taxes, import duty, or other government charges, and/or insurance rates including war risk, or of any variation in rates of exchange. Unless specifically agreed between us, all quoted prices are on a basis of delivery ex our specified warehouse.

3. Acceptance

Quotations are subject to acceptance within 30 days, after which they shall be deemed to have lapsed. The Company will do all in its power to see that deliveries are maintained according to schedule, but cannot accept responsibility for delays due to causes beyond its control.

4. Insurance

Insurance will not be affected by us on goods forwarded from our premises unless we have received written instructions to do so. Risk in the goods shall pass to you the purchaser as soon as they are delivered to the place nominated by you or to your premises or, if they are collected by you from our premises, then risk shall pass at the time of collection.

5. Storage

Should the Company not receive forwarding instructions sufficient to enable us to despatch the goods on your behalf within a period of 7 days after the date of notification that they are ready for dispatch, you shall take delivery or arrange for storage of those goods. If you do not take delivery or arrange for storage the Company shall be entitled to arrange storage either at our works or elsewhere on your behalf and all charges for storage, insurance, demurrage, handling, etc., shall be payable by you.

6. Description

(a) Information regarding specifications, description, weights, measurements, powers, capacities, performance, and other data generally relating to the goods sold or supplied by the Company contained in advertisements, catalogues, price lists, illustrations,
or other similar matter submitted to the customer by the Company whilst given in good faith, must be regarded only as approximate and intended to present to the customer a general guide.

It is up to you to determine the nature, quality and
condition of the goods sold or supplied by the Company and their sufficiency for any purpose and there should be no reliance by you upon any representation made by the Company, its servants or agents either orally or in writing (including any advertisement). No description of goods given by the Company will be deemed to constitute a sale by description.

(b) Notwithstanding that a sample of any goods has been exhibited to and inspected by a customer it is hereby declared that such sample was so exhibited and inspected solely to enable the buyer to

judge for himself the quality of the bulk and not so as to constitute a sale by sample. The liability of the Company, if any, in respect
of any misrepresentation shall not in any event exceed the cost of replacement of the goods in respect of which a claim is made.

(c) The Company will not in any event be liable for consequential loss, injury, or damage arising out of any misrepresentation or performance concerning the goods included in any order accepted by the Company.

7. Payment

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment for all goods purchased from the Company shall be made no later than the 20th day of the month following the month in which the goods are made available for delivery. Title to the goods shall pass only on the payment of

the purchase price to the Company being made in full in cleared funds. All payments are to be made on due date as a condition precedent to future deliveries. In the event of payment in full not being received within 7 days of the due date, the Company reserves the right to charge interest at its current bank overdraft rate on

any amount outstanding, calculated on a daily basis from the due date for payment to the actual date of payment and to charge the customer with any debt collection costs or legal expenses incurred in recovering overdue accounts where the debtor is in default with good cause. The Company reserves the right to take immediate action

to recover any monies owing and to sue for the return of goods regardless of terms of payment where a customer commits an act of bankruptcy or goes into liquidation or receivership or enters into a creditors composition or has his credit standing impaired in any other way.

8. Patents and Designs

The Company shall not be liable in respect of any claim which may be made against the Company for infringement of any letters patent or registered design which may arise as a result of the Company carrying out instructions given by you, the customer. You agree to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company from and against all
or any such claims and against all costs, damages, and expenses incurred by or recovered against the Company in respect of any such claims.

9. Delivery

Any delivery period referred to in a quotation is subject to confirmation by us on receipt of your order and will commence
from the date on which we have both your order and full particulars. Any period or dates quoted for delivery are to be regarded as approximate only and the Company accepts no liability for any loss, injury, damage or expenses consequent upon any delay in delivery of goods. Delay due to
circumstances outside the control of the company shall not entitle the customer to cancel any order or to refuse to accept delivery. Notwithstanding that the title of the goods may not have passed, the risk in the goods shall pass to you, the customer upon delivery. The Company reserves the right to deliver in instalments, each instalment to be separately invoiced for payment upon our stated terms and paid for accordingly notwithstanding late delivery or non-delivery of any other instalment.

10. Force Majeure

Should the Company be delayed in or prevented from making delivery owing to any case whatsoever beyond the Company’s control, the Company shall be at liberty to cancel or suspend the order without incurring any liability for any loss or damage resulting therefrom.

11. Damage of Loss in Transit

All forwarding is at the customer’s risk. Freight insurance, if required, should be requested at the time of ordering. No claim for shortage in delivery will be entertained in cases where the Company has agreed to deliver the goods to the customer unless a separate notice in writing is given within 7 days of delivery. In the event of loss or damage to goods in transit, advice of such loss or damage must be submitted in writing to the carrier and to the Company within 14 days of the date of consignment as advised by the Company to the customer.

(a) Ownership of any goods sold by the Company and/or delivered by the Company is retained by the Company until payment is made in full for all goods sold or delivered by the Company to you. The delivery or sale of the goods by the Company to you under these Conditions of

do anything which would entitle a receiver or debenture holder, or creditors composition to take possession of any assets or which would entitle any persons to present a petition for winding up.

Where (were it not for this paragraph) the CGA would apply to the contract of sale into which these terms are incorporated, and you acquire (or hold yourself out to be acquiring) the goods for the purposes of a business as defined in the CGA, you agree that the CGA does not apply to the contract of sale.
