1       Introduction

1.1    These are the terms and conditions (“Contract”) referred to in your order (‘Order’) for us to supply you with our mosaic frame products (“Goods”) as shown on our website www.lfmosaics.com (“Site”).

1.2    They describe the terms on which we will sell the Goods to you. In particular, we must deliver the correct goods to the right place at the agreed time in good condition, and they explain our legal responsibility to you if we fail to meet these standards.

1.3    They also explain that you must pay us the correct price, and when legal ownership of the Goods passes from us to you. These issues are important for insurance and risk purposes, and so we have also included a clause to explain the position if Goods are damaged or delayed for reasons outside anyone’s control (including natural causes).

2      The Contract

2.1    The Order is your offer to buy the Goods from us on the terms of this Contract, and you must make sure that the Order (and any required standards or measurements or specification of the Goods that form part of your Order) is correct.

2.2    When we send you a written acceptance, you have a binding contract with us, and this Contract is part of it.

2.3    The Contract is our entire agreement. No previous statements or representations that we have made to you form part of the Contract unless they are written into it. This includes samples, drawings, advertising, catalogues and other promotional or descriptive material.

2.4    If we have given you a quotation for the Goods, it is only valid for 14 days from its issue date. It is not an offer to sell you the Goods.

2.5    If either of us needs to give the other a notice under the Contract (‘Notice’), the Notice must be given properly to be effective. Clause 10.4explains how to give a proper Notice.

2.6    We will ensure that we the following information is given or made available to you prior to the formation of the Contract between us and you, unless such information is already apparent from the context of the transaction:

2.6.1 The main characteristics of the Goods;

2.6.2 Our identity and contact details;

2.6.3 The total Price (defined below) for the Goods including taxes or, if the nature of the Goods is such that the Price cannot be calculated in advance, the manner in which it will be calculated;

2.6.4 Where applicable, all additional delivery charges or, where such charges cannot be calculated in advance, the manner in which they will be calculated;

2.6.5 Where applicable, the arrangements for payment, delivery and the time by which we undertake to deliver the Goods;

2.6.6 Our complaints handling policy;

2.6.7 We shall ensure that you are aware of our legal duty to supply goods that are in conformity with the Contract; and

2.6.8 Where applicable, details of after-sales services and commercial guarantees.

3       The Goods

3.1    The Goods are described on our Site and a summary will be attached to your Order.

3.2    If the Goods have been manufactured at your request or to any specification that you have supplied, you will pay for all expenses, losses and costs that we suffer from any claim made against us for breach of someone else’s intellectual property rights. This applies even after this Contract has ended and includes the value of any damages which a court orders us to pay.

3.3    We are allowed to change any of our specifications, or any specification that you have supplied, if this is necessary to comply with any regulations.

4       Delivery of the Goods

4.1    We will give you a delivery note with each delivery of Goods. It will state the Order date, the Order reference number, the type and quantity of goods, the storage instructions, and the outstanding balance of the Order if we are delivering goods by instalments.

4.2    We will deliver the Goods to the delivery address designated by you within 10 working days  after we send you a Notice that they are ready. However, Delivery dates are approximate, and time of delivery is not guaranteed. Delivery will be completed when the Goods are delivered to the delivery address on your Order.

4.3    If you do not accept delivery of the Goods within 10 (ten) days of our Notice date, delivery will be assumed to have been completed by us at 9:00 am on the eleventh day after the Notice date. If you have not taken delivery after this time, we are allowed to sell the Goods.

4.4    If we fail to deliver the Goods, our legal responsibility to you will be limited to your costs of obtaining replacements of similar type and quality at the cheapest available price, less the price of the Goods. We will not be legally responsible to you for non-delivery if you give us inadequate delivery or other supply instructions.

4.5    We are allowed to deliver the Goods in instalments. If we do this, each instalment will make up a separate contract with its own invoice and payment arrangements. If an instalment is delayed, you may not cancel other instalments because of the delay.

4.6    If we refuse to deliver the Goods, you may treat the Contract as being at an end and we will reimburse you without undue delay. Alternatively you may, instead of treating the Contract as being at an end, specify a new delivery time or time period. If we continue to fail to deliver the Goods, you may treat the Contract as being at an end and we will reimburse you without undue delay.

5.       Promises

5.1     We want you to be satisfied with the quality of the Goods and so we offer you the following promise for 12 months from the delivery date:

5.1.1    the Goods are the same in all material respects as their description. We have made every reasonable effort to ensure that the Goods conform to illustrations, photographs and descriptions provided in our sales and marketing literature. We don’t, however, guarantee that all descriptions, illustrations and/or photographs will be precisely accurate. If we find, or are made aware of, any typographical, clerical or other accidental errors or omissions in any sales and marketing literature, price lists or any other documents we will make every reasonable effort to correct such errors or omissions as soon as is reasonably possible.

5.1.2  the Goods are free from significant defects;

5.1.3  the Goods are of satisfactory quality;

5.1.4  the Goods are suitable for any purpose that we have specified.

5.2    If you discover that some or all of the Goods do not meet this promise, you can either reject them within 30 days of their receipt by notice in writing to us, or require us to repair or replace them, or (if we fail to do that) require us to refund you the price of the defective Goods. This will only apply, however, if you have done the following:

5.2.1 given us a reasonable opportunity of examining the Goods, and

5.2.2 returned the Goods to us at our address and cost, if requested.

5.3    Our promise does not apply if:

5.3.1  you continue to use the Goods after you have given us Notice of a defect;

5.3.2  the defect has arisen because you have failed to follow any written or oral instructions on the use, storage, installation, or maintenance of the Goods;

5.3.3  the defect arises because we followed your instructions, specifications, drawing or design;

5.3.4  you alter or repair the Goods without previously getting our written agreement;

5.3.5  the defect is a result of fair wear and tear, negligence, (being your lack of reasonable care), abnormal storage or working conditions, or deliberate damage;

5.3.6  changes have been made to the Goods to comply with regulations which apply to them.

5.4    Our promise only applies on the basis of this clause, but it also applies on the same basis to any repaired or replacement Goods that we supply.

5.5     You may cancel your Order at any time before we despatch the Goods by contacting us in writing.

5.6     You may also cancel your Order within 14 days of receipt of the Goods if it is placed with us electronically.

6.1    The risk of damage to the Goods or their loss passes to you on completion of delivery. You should make sure that you insure the Goods from this time onwards.

6.2    Ownership of the Goods passes when you have paid us for them in full. Until the ownership passes to you, we will still own the Goods.

7.2      We are allowed to increase the price, by giving you a Notice of increase up to 48 hours before we deliver the Goods, but only to take into account any of the following:

7.2.1   which are beyond our control (examples include tax changes, foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in the costs of labour, manufacturing, and/or materials, and those matters set out in Clause 8.3);

7.2.2  changes in delivery dates, or quantities, types, or specifications of Goods that you have asked for;

If you fail to pay on time, we may charge you interest at 4% per year above the Bank of England’s base rate from time to time from the due date until payment of what you owe us, whether that happens before or after any court judgment on the debt that you owe. The interest will be earned daily and you must pay it all with the overdue amount.

7.4    You are not allowed to hold back any payment due to us as a set-off or credit or counterclaim against some other amount that you think we owe you unless the law allows it. However, we may set off any amount you owe us against any amount we owe you.
