Millennium Ltd Terms and Conditions
Updated: September 2008
Conditions of Sale
GENERAL
In these Conditions of Sale:
"the Company" means Millennium Limited.
"the Customer" means the person, firm or company
ordering or buying goods or services from the Company.
"the Goods" means the goods or services which
are the subject matter of the relevant order or contract
for sale.
No contract between the Company and the Customer in respect of the Goods shall exist until the Customer's order has been accepted by the Company. In the event that the Customer's order seeks to make the sale subject to terms different from these conditions, acceptance of the Customer's order by the Company (whether or not such acceptance is effected by formal order acknowledgment) shall be deemed to be a fresh offer by the Company on the basis of these conditions. In which event (unless these conditions are accepted by the Customer prior to delivery) acceptance of the delivery of the Goods by the Customer shall constitute acceptance of the Company's offer and the Contract of Sale shall be formed at that moment. No conditions or terms stipulated in any other communication or document shall vary or annul any of those conditions except insofar as the same are expressly consented to in writing by the Company.
PRICE
Quoted prices include the cost of normal packaging but
exclude delivery and transit insurance (which may be
charged at extra cost), Value Added Tax, or installation
charges (where applicable).
DISPATCH AND PAYMENT
An extra charge may be levied to cover delivery and
insurance costs. A charge may be made to cover any extra
costs involved for delivery to a different address.
Should work be suspended at the request of the Customer
or delayed through any default of the Customer for a
period of 30 days, the Company shall then be entitled
to payment for work already carried out, materials specially
ordered, and any other additional costs, including storage.
CREDIT POLICY AND PAYMENT INFORMATION
The Company is pleased to offer credit terms to approved
Customers. The Company's credit terms are 30 days net
from the date of invoice. Accounts with overdue balances
will be placed on credit hold and no further goods will
be dispatched, no further services applied and all support
and repair or warranty services will be frozen until
the account is brought into order. Repeated failure
to keep to these credit terms will result in the permanent
loss of the credit facility.
PRELIMINARY WORK
All work carried out additional to that specified in
the relevant quotation or order, whether experimentally
or otherwise, shall be charged.
RETENTION OF TITLE
The Company and the Customer expressly agree that until
the Company has been paid in full for the goods comprised
in this or any other sales contract between them and
all outstanding amounts due to the Company from the
Customer or any associated or subsidiary or holding
company of the Customer or from any director or shareholder
of the Customer or any such company:
the goods shall remain the property of the Company and
the Customer, as bailee of them for the Company, will
store the same for the Company in a proper manner without
charge and in such a way that the goods are clearly
identified as being the property of the Company, notwithstanding
that the risk therein shall pass to the Customer as
provided herein.
At any time the Company may recover from the Customer
the goods remaining in his possession, and for the purposes
thereof may enter upon any premises of or occupied by
the Customer or any third party (with the consent of
that third party).
the Customer has the right to dispose of the Goods in
the course of his business for the account of the Company
and to pass good title to the Goods to his customers
being bona fide purchasers for value without notice
of the Company's right.
In the event of such disposition the Customer has the
fiduciary duty to account to the Company for the proceeds
thereof but may retain therefrom an excess of such proceeds
over the amount outstanding to the Company under this
or any other sales contract between them and for all
outstanding amounts due to the Company from the Customer
or any associated or subsidiary or holding company of
the Customer or from any director or shareholder of
the Customer or any other such company.
RISK
Notwithstanding the preceding clause, all risk in respect
of the Goods shall be assumed by the Customer upon dispatch
of the Goods to him.
CUSTOMER'S PROPERTY
The Customer's property and all property supplied to
the Company by or on behalf of the Customer shall be
deemed, while it is in the possession of the Company
or in transit to or from the Customer, to be at the
Customer's risk and the Customer shall insure accordingly.
The Company shall be entitled to make a reasonable charge
for the storage of any of the Customer's property left
with the Company before receipt of the order or after
notification to the Customer of completion of the work.
LOSS OR DAMAGE IN TRANSIT OR NON DELIVERY
The Customer shall examine the Goods immediately they
are delivered to him. The Company reserves the right
to reject claims in respect of shortages or damage in
transit or non-delivery of the Goods, or in the case
of non-delivery 7 days after the due date for delivery.
LATE DELIVERY
Whilst the Company will use its best endeavors to deliver
the Goods in accordance with the Customer's requirements,
the Company will not be liable for any consequences
of late delivery howsoever caused.
DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS
The Company's liability (both in contract and in tort)
in respect of defects in the Goods shall be limited
to the replacement of faulty items or material, or the
issue of credit notes in respect thereof, or the granting
of a refund or such other compensatory measures as the
Company at its discretion considers appropriate in the
circumstances. Such measures shall relate only to the
actual faulty items or their value, and the Company
shall not in any circumstances be under any liability
to the Customer in respect of indirect or consequential
loss or damage, or loss of profits, sustained by the
Customer provided always that these conditions do not
exclude or restrict the Company's liability for death
or personal injury arising from its negligence. Goods
returned for repair under warranty must be accompanied
by a copy of the original invoice, or must quote the
original invoice number and date of purchase.
Before returning items, please ring our engineers for
authorization to return items - a discussion of the
problem may assist in rectifying faults before goods
are returned! It is your responsibility to ensure that
any goods returned are properly insured; we will not
be responsible for goods returned to us that are lost
in transit.
EXPORT CONTROL
The Customer shall not resell outside the UK any of
the products covered by the Export of Goods (Control)
Order 1987 (or any re-enactment thereof) or the Export
Administration Act 1979 (as amended) of the USA (or
any re-enactment thereof) without obtaining all necessary
licenses thereunder and will not resell such goods within
the UK to a purchaser knowing (or being given reasonable
grounds to suspect by the purchaser) that the purchaser
intends to export such goods, without first obtaining
either such licenses or a copy of such licenses obtained
by the purchaser.
RECRUITMENT OF EMPLOYEES
The Company will suffer loss if a member of their staff
accepts an offer of permanent employment with the Customer.
If a member of the Company's staff accepts such an offer
of employment with the Customer other than as a result
of a relevant bona fide employment advertisement in
the national or trade press, the Customer agrees to
pay the Company the equivalent of six months salary
for that member of staff. The provisions of this clause
shall apply to subsidiaries, associates and parent companies
of the Customer.
FORCE MAJEURE
The Company reserves the right to cancel, vary or suspend
the operation of a contract of sale if events occur
which are in the nature of force majeure including (without
prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) fire,
floods, storm, plant breakdown, strikes, lock-outs,
riot, hostilities, non-availability of materials or
supplies or any other event outside the control of the
Company; and the Company shall not be held liable for
any breach of contract resulting from such an event.
The exercise of rights under this clause shall be without
prejudice to the Company's other rights of remedies.
CANCELLATION
The Company may withhold or cancel further or any deliveries
under the contract of sale and may recover all losses
resulting therefrom if the Customer:
fails to make a payment on the due date under any contract
with the Company, or
enters into a composition with its creditors, or (being
a company) has a receiver appointed or passes a resolution
for winding up or if a Court shall order it to be wound
up, or commits an available act of bankruptcy, or
is in breach of any of the items and conditions contained
herein (notwithstanding that on a former occasion or
occasions the Company has waived its rights).
LAW
These conditions of sale shall be construed in accordance
with English Law.
