4. How the contract is formed between you and us

4.1 After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an inquiry regarding the Products. All orders are subject to a prior communication from us, offering to sell the Products to you. We will confirm such offer to you:

(a) where you do not have a credit account with us, by sending you an e-mail with a pro forma invoice (PFI) for the price of the Products and any applicable delivery charges; or

(b) where you do have a credit account with us, by sending you an e-mail (Confirmation E-mail) confirming:
(i) that we are processing your order; and
(ii) the price of the Products and any applicable delivery charges.
The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when:

(c) you have paid the PFI (where you do not have a credit account with us); or

(d) we have sent you an e-mail confirming dispatch of the Products (where you have a credit account with us or we otherwise agree to dispatch the Products prior to receipt of payment) (Dispatch Confirmation).

4.2 The Contract will relate only to those Products:

(a) contained in the PFI (where you do not have a credit account with us); or

(b) contained in the Dispatch Confirmation (where you have a credit account with us or we otherwise agree to dispatch the Products prior to receipt of payment).
We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until we have:

(c) issued a PFI for those Products and that PFI has been paid (where you do not have a credit account with us); or

(d) sent you a Dispatch Confirmation for those Products (where you have a credit account with us or we otherwise agree to dispatch the Products prior to receipt of payment).
In other words, without prejudice to the foregoing, where you send us an order/inquiry, we may not be able to supply all of the requested Products in that order/inquiry.

5. Delivery

5.1 We shall deliver the Products for which you have paid via a PFI or from your credit account or which we have otherwise agreed to dispatch prior to receipt of payment (Purchased Products) to the location specified by you (Delivery Location) at any time after (as applicable) payment of the PFI or the sending of the Dispatch Confirmation.

5.2 Delivery of the Purchased Products shall be completed on the Purchased Products' arrival at the Delivery Location.

5.3 Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only and the time of delivery is not of the essence. We shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Purchased Products that is caused by a Force Majeure Event or your failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Purchased Products.

5.4 If we fail to deliver the Purchased Products, our liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by you in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Purchased Products. We shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the Purchased Products to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or your failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Purchased Products.

5.5 If you fail to accept delivery of the Purchased Products within three days of us notifying you that the Purchased Products are ready, then, except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or our failure to comply with our obligations under the Contract:

(a) delivery of the Purchased Products shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the third day after the day on which we notified you that the Purchased Products were ready; and

(b) we shall store the Purchased Products until delivery takes place and charge you for all related costs and expenses (including insurance).

5.6 If, 14 days after the day on which we notified you that the Purchased Products were ready for delivery, you have not accepted delivery of them, we may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Purchased Products and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, account to you for any excess over the price of the Purchased Products or charge you for any shortfall below the price of the Purchased Products.

5.7 You shall not be entitled to reject the Purchased Products if we deliver up to and including [10]% more or less than the quantity of Purchased Products ordered, but a pro rata adjustment shall be made to the PFI on receipt of notice from you that the wrong quantity of Purchased Products was delivered.

6. Risk and title

8. Price and payment

8.1 The price of the Products and our delivery charges will (except in cases of obvious error) be as quoted on our site from time to time.
