3. Our contract with you

How we will accept your order. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we confirm acceptance of it by phone or in writing, at which point a contract will come into existence between you and us.
If we cannot accept your order. If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the product. This might be because the product is out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified. Furthermore, if you have requested installation services, we reserve the right to refuse your order if a site inspection or other factors reveal unexpected conditions.
Your order number. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

4. Our products

Products may vary slightly from their pictures. The images of the products on our website and in our collections are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, we cannot guarantee that a device’s display of the colours or a picture in our catalogue accurately reflects the colour of the products. Your product may vary slightly from those images.
Product packaging may vary. The packaging of the product may vary from that shown in images on our website.
Making sure your measurements are accurate. If we are making the product to measurements you have given us you are responsible for ensuring that these measurements are correct.

5. Your rights to make changes

If you wish to make a change to the product you have ordered please contact us. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible, we will let you know about any changes to the price of the product, the timing of supply or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change and ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change. Please note, however, that we are unable to make any changes to non-standard products which are being made to your specification once you have ordered them.

6. Our rights to make changes

Minor changes to the products. We may change the product:
to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements; and
to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements. These changes will not affect your use of the product.

7. Providing the products

Delivery costs. Delivery costs are variable depending on weight and location. Delivery costs will be as set out and displayed on our website, or as otherwise told to you during the ordering process.
When we will provide the products.
We will deliver the products to you as soon as reasonably possible. We offer a next day delivery service on certain standard ‘off-the-shelf’ products. If you place your order before 1pm on a working day, we will use our reasonable efforts to deliver the products the next working day on these products, however, delivery times are estimates only.
If you have requested installation services from us, we will deliver the products and begin the installation services on the date agreed with you during the order process.
We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.
If you are not at the delivery location when the product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the products cannot be posted through a letterbox, we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the products from a local depot.
If you do not re-arrange delivery. If you do not collect the products from us as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and clause 2 will apply.
When you become responsible for the goods. The products will be your responsibility from the time we deliver them to the address you gave us.
When you own goods. You own a product once we have received payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for all products and services ordered by you from us.
What will happen if you do not give the required information to us? We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you, for example, a specification of the products required. If so, this will have been stated in the description of the products on our website. We will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and clause 2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
Reasons we may suspend the supply of products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a product to:
deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements;
make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you (see clauses 5 and 6).
Your rights if we suspend the supply of products. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the product, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. You may contact us to end the contract for a product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 30 days and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the product in respect of the period after you end the contract.
We may also suspend the supply of the products if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the products when you are supposed to (see clause 3) and you still do not make payment within 14 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend the supply of all products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending the supply of products. We will not suspend the products where you dispute the unpaid invoice (see clause 14.6). As well as suspending the products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see clause 14.5).

8. Your rights to end the contract

You can always end your contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing when you decide to end the contract, and whether you are a consumer or business customer:
If what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the product repaired or replaced or a service re-performed or to get some or all of your money back), see clause 12 if you are a consumer and clause 13 if you are a business;
If you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 2;
If you have ordered the wrong product or you have just changed your mind about the product, see clauses 3 and 8.4. You may be able to get a refund if you are within the cooling-off period, but this may be subject to deductions and you will have to pay the costs of return of any goods.
Ending the contract because of something we have done or are going to do. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (d) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in each case for a period of more than 30 days; or
you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a consumer (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013). If you are a consumer then for most products bought online or via our catalogue you have a legal right to change your mind within 14 days and receive a refund. These rights, under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, are explained in more detail in these terms.
Exercising your right to change your mind if you are a business. Even if you are not a consumer then for most products bought online or via our catalogue we will allow you to return the goods if you have ordered the wrong product or you have changed your mind within 14 days after you receive the product provided that the product is still, in our reasonable opinion, in a resalable condition.
When you do not have a right to change their minds. Your right to change your mind does not apply in respect of:
non-standard products which have been made to your specification;
services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running;
products sealed for health protection or hygiene purposes, once these have been unsealed after you receive them; and
any products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
How long do consumers have to change their minds? If you are a consumer, how long you have to change your mind depends on what you have ordered and how it is delivered.
Have you bought goods?, if so you have 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the goods, unless:
Your goods are split into several deliveries over different days. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the last delivery.
Your goods are for regular delivery over a set period. In this case you have until 14 days after the day you (or someone you nominate) receives the first delivery of the goods.

9. How to end the contract with us (including if you are a consumer who has changed their mind)

Tell us you want to end the contract. To end the contract with us, please let us know by doing one of the following:
Phone or email. Call 01344 596240 or email us at support@specialistindustrials.co.uk. Please provide your name, home address, details of the order (including order number) and, where available, your phone number and email address.
By post. Complete the form included at the footer of these terms) and post it to us at the address on the form. Include details of what you bought, when you ordered or received it, your order number and your name and address.
Returning products after ending the contract. If you end the contract for any reason after products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us. You must either return the goods in person to where you bought them or post them to Storage Industrial, Unit 4 IO Centre, Fingle Drive, Stonebridge, Milton Keynes, MK13 0AT. If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the goods within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract.
When we will pay the costs of return. We will pay the costs of return:
if the products are faulty or misdescribed;
if we have told you about an error in pricing or description, or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something, we have done wrong.

In all other circumstances (including where you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind) you must pay the costs of return

How we will refund you. If you are entitled to a refund under these terms we will refund you the price you paid for the products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below.
When we may make a deduction from refunds if you are exercising your right to change your mind. If you are exercising your right to change your mind:
We may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the goods, if this has been caused by your handling them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If you are a business customer then we will charge a 12.5% handling fee. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the goods and later discover you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay us an appropriate amount.
The maximum refund for delivery costs will be the costs of delivery by the least expensive delivery method we offer. For example, if we offer delivery of a product within 3-5 days at one cost but you choose to have the product delivered within 24 hours at a higher cost, then we will only refund what you would have paid for the cheaper delivery option.
Where the product is a service, we may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when you told us you had changed your mind. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.
When your refund will be made. We will make any refunds due to you as soon as possible. If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind then:
If the products are goods, your refund will be made within 14 days from the day on which we receive the product back from you or, if earlier, within 14 days from the day on which you provide us with evidence that you have sent the product back to us. For information about how to return a product to us, see clause 2.
In all other cases, your refund will be made within 14 days of your telling us you have changed your mind

10. Our rights to end the contract

We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if:
you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within 14 days of us reminding you that payment is due;
you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products;
you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you or collect them from us;

You must compensate us if you break the contract. If we end the contract in the situations set out in clause 1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.

11. If there is a problem with the product

How to tell us about problems.
If you have any questions or complaints about the product, please contact us. You can telephone 01344 596240 or write to us at support@specialistindustrials.co.uk

12. Your rights in respect of defective products if you are a consumer

If you are a consumer we are under a legal duty to supply products that are in conformity with this contract. See the box below for a summary of your key legal rights in relation to the products. Nothing in these terms will affect your legal rights.

Summary of your key legal rights if you are a consumer

This is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.

If your product is goods, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says goods must be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality. During the expected lifespan of your product your legal rights entitle you to the following:

a) Up to 30 days: if your goods are faulty, then you can get an immediate refund.

b) Up to six months: if your goods can’t be repaired or replaced, then you’re entitled to a full refund, in most cases.

c) Up to six years: if your goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some money back.

13. Your rights in respect of defective products if you are a business

If you are a business customer we warrant that, on delivery, any products which are goods will conform in all material respects with their description and any relevant specification, and for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery (warranty period), shall:
be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship;
be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979); and
be fit for any purpose held out by us.
Subject to clause 3, if:
you give us notice in writing on delivery that the products do not conform in all material respects with their description and any relevant specification or during the warranty period within a reasonable time of discovery that a product does not comply with the other warranties set out in clause 1 (a) – (c);
we are given a reasonable opportunity of examining such product; and
you return such product to us at your cost,

we shall, at our option, repair or replace the defective product, or refund the price of the defective product in full.

We will not be liable for a product’s failure to comply with the warranty in clause 1 if:
you make any further use of such product after giving a notice in accordance with clause 13.2(a);
the defect arises because you failed to follow our oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of the product or (if there are none) good trade practice;
the defect arises as a result of us following any drawing, design or specification supplied by you;you alter or repair the product without our written consent; or
the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal working conditions.
Except as provided in this clause 13, we shall have no liability to you in respect of a product’s failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 1.
These terms shall apply to any repaired or replacement products supplied by us under clause 2.

14. Price and payment

Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product (which includes VAT) will be the price set out on our website when you placed your order.
We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment with most major credit cards. When you must pay depends on what product you are buying and whether or not you are a credit customer:
For goods, you must pay for the products before we dispatch them (unless you are a credit customer, in which case see clause 14.3(c) below).
If you are a credit customer. If you are a regular credit customer and we have offered for you to open up an account with us then we will invoice you for the goods when we have dispatched them. You must pay each invoice within 30 calendar days after the date of the invoice.
Our right of set-off if you are a business customer. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these terms in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of the Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

15. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you if you are a consumer

We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products as summarised at clause 1; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
We are not liable for business losses. If you are a consumer we only supply the products to you for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose our liability to you will be limited as set out in clause 16.

16. Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you if you are a business

Nothing in these terms shall limit or exclude our liability for:
death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors (as applicable);
fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982; or
defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987; or
any matter in respect of which it would be unlawful for us to exclude or restrict liability.

Except to the extent expressly stated in clause 1 all terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and sections 3 to 5 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 are excluded.

Subject to clause 1:
we shall not be liable to you, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, for any loss of profit, or any indirect or consequential loss arising under or in connection with any contract between us; and
our total liability to you for all other losses arising under or in connection with any contract between us, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, or otherwise, shall be limited to the total sums paid by you for products under such contract.
How we may use your personal information. We will only use your personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy. You can find our Privacy Policy on our website.

17. Other important terms.

Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee on to). This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a consumer. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings if you are a business. If you are a business, any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with a contract between us or its subject matter or formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim.
