to the extent that:
2.1.3 this does not materially affect their quality or performance; or

2.2 The contract is not a sale by sample.

3. QUOTATIONS AND ORDERS

3.1 Further to you submitting Your Order, Blue Seal will review the details of Your Order and if acceptable, send you an order confirmation email  (Order Confirmation). The Order Confirmation is an acceptance of Your Order.  

3.2 The Order Confirmation is issued on the basis that the terms governing the contract between the parties for the supply of goods detailed in the Order Confirmation are these Contract Terms.

3.3 Blue Seal may refuse to issue an Order Confirmation in response to Your Order, without liability to you if:
3.3.1 a good in that order is not available;
3.3.2 there is an error in the price or the description of the good posted on the Site and/or in our advertising brochures;
3.3.3 the order triggers fraud prevention protocols; or
3.3.4 Blue Seal believes that to do so is otherwise necessary or expedient.

3.4 If Blue Seal refuse to issue an Order Confirmation in response to Your Order, then it will endeavour to notify you of that rejection at the time you submit Your Order or within a reasonable time thereafter. If you have already paid for the goods, Blue Seal will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged as soon as possible.

3.5 Our contract for the supply of goods detailed in the Order Confirmation will come into force when we send to you the Order Confirmation. 

3.6 If you consider there to be any mistakes, omissions or inaccuracies in the details set out in the Order Confirmation, or if you wish to amend any aspect of the order details, you will be required to contact us as soon as possible so any amendments to the order details can be agreed between the parties.  If the parties are unable to agree the amendments, the contract will terminate and Blue Seal will not proceed with processing the Order.  In circumstances where the parties agree amendments, these will be agreed subject to these Contract Terms continuing to apply to the contract to supply the goods (subject to any amendments agreed).

3.7 Blue Seal also reserves the right to refuse to fulfil any orders that you may have placed based on information on the Site and/or in our advertising brochures that may contain errors or inaccuracies, including, without limitation, errors, inaccuracies or out-of-date information regarding pricing, shipping, payment terms, or return policies.  In these circumstances, Blue Seal will terminate the contract between the parties.

3.8 Each order placed for good(s) results in a separate binding contract between you and Blue Seal for the supply of those good(s).

3.9 For each order accepted by Blue Seal, Blue Seal will supply the good(s) in that order to you in accordance with these Contract Terms.

3.10 You may elect to collect the good(s) you order, or to have them delivered to a nominated delivery address.  A fee may apply (see clauses 4 and 7 below).

3.11 The Site and/or our advertising brochures may contain typographical errors or other errors or inaccuracies and may not be complete or current.  Blue Seal reserves the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions and to change or update information at any time without notice.

3.12 You consent to receive sales invoices electronically for all orders. Electronic invoices will be emailed to the email address provided by you in relation to the each order.

3.13 Blue Seal reserve the right to charge a fee of 20% for the cancellation of any order or the return of any goods. The fee will be based on the value of the order or the sale price of the goods as the case may be. The parties agree that the fee, if charged, constitutes a genuine pre-estimate of Blue Seal's loss arising from the cancellation or return of goods.  The return of goods will only be permitted in circumstances where the goods are returned in a new and unused condition, and the goods are returned within 14 days of delivery (as described in clause 7).

3.14 In addition to the fee payable under clause 3.13, where you cancel or return any “spare part goods”, Blue Seal reserve the right to charge you an engineering test fee to cover the costs for testing to ensure they meet the necessary safety standards for resale.  If requested, Blue Seal will provide an estimate of the fees likely to be incurred prior to undertaking this testing (such a request to be made at the same time the “spare parts goods” are returned).  For the purposes of this clause 3.14, “spare part goods” means any individual parts issued as spares for the purposes of any equipment that we sell.

4. PRICE AND PRICE VARIATION

4.1 The maximum prices of the goods will be quoted on the Site and in the price lists accompanying our advertising brochures at the time you submit Your Order.
4.2 Blue Seal is entitled to adjust any price to take into account a variation in cost arising from:
4.2.1 delays in manufacture or installation as a result of any act or omission by the buyer, or other circumstances beyond Blue Seal’s control;
4.2.2 variations in Blue Seal’s costs of manufacture including, without limitation, variations in the cost of labour or raw materials;
4.2.1 variations in the cost of the goods to Blue Seal due to variations in the cost of freight and transport, insurance premiums, customs duties or currency exchange rates; and
4.2.2 any error or omission.

4.3 In addition, the maximum prices of the goods may be adjusted to reflect discounts we are willing to provide you with.  The price payable for the goods under the contract will be confirmed in the Order Confirmation.  The Order Confirmation will also confirm the relevant delivery costs payable.

4.4 The price of goods set out on the Site and in the price lists accompanying our advertising brochures  exclude VAT (where applicable).  VAT will be charged on goods at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. If the rate of VAT changes between the date you enter into a contract for goods and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the good in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

4.5 The Site and our advertising brochures contain a large number of goods. It is always possible that, despite Blue Seal’s reasonable efforts, some of the goods on the Site and/or in our advertising brochures may be incorrectly priced. If Blue Seal discovers an error in the price of the goods you have ordered Blue Seal will contact you to inform you of this error and Blue Seal will give you the option of continuing to purchase the goods at the correct price or cancelling your order. Blue Seal will not process your order until Blue Seal have your instructions. If Blue Seal are unable to contact you using the contact details you have provided as part of the ordering process, Blue Seal will treat the contract as cancelled and notify you in writing. If Blue Seal mistakenly accepts and processes your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, Blue Seal may cancel your order and refund you any sums you have paid.

5. TERMS OF PAYMENT

5.1 Payment is to be made in full on goods sold by Blue Seal prior to delivery (such date to be confirmed in the Order Confirmation), save where the buyer has been granted a credit account.

9.2 All payments received from the buyer may be applied by Blue Seal in the manner Blue Seal, in its absolute discretion, determines.

9.12 If the buyer’s right to possession, use and resale of the goods terminates in accordance with clause 9.9, Blue Seal will be entitled to issue the buyer with a credit note for all or any part of the price of the goods together with VAT thereon.
