  • ORDERS
    •  The Customer shall place an Order at its absolute discretion and Cally King may accept or decline an Order at its absolute discretion. Cally King may, at its discretion, accept an amendment to an Order by the Customer.
    • Cally King shall assign an order number to each Order it accepts and notify the order number to the Customer. Each party shall use the relevant order number in all subsequent correspondence relating to the Order.
    • After confirming an Order, Cally King shall as soon as is practicable inform the Customer of Cally King’s estimated delivery date for the Order.
    • The Customer is responsible for ensuring that any Order is complete and accurate. The Customer shall give Cally King all necessary information that Cally King reasonably requires to fulfil each Order.
  • THE GOODS     
    • Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter, or advertising produced by Cally King and any descriptions or illustrations contained in Cally King’s catalogues or brochures or website are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.
  • DELIVERY
    • Cally King shall ensure that each delivery of Goods is accompanied by a delivery note which shows the Order number, the type and quantity of Goods (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable), special storage instructions (if any) and, if the relevant Order is being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Goods remaining to be delivered.
    • Cally King shall aim to deliver Goods to the Delivery Location on the relevant Delivery Date.
    • Delivery is completed on the completion of unloading of the Goods at the Delivery Location.
    • Delivery Dates are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence.
    • If Cally King fails to deliver Goods by the relevant Delivery Date, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Customer in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the Price of the Goods. Cally King shall have no liability for any failure to deliver Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer’s failure to provide Cally King with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
    • If 5 Business Days after the day on which Cally King attempted to make delivery of Goods the Customer has not taken delivery of those Goods, Cally King may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, account to the Customer for any excess over the price of the Goods, or charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.
    • If Cally King delivers up to and including 5% more or less than the quantity of Goods ordered the Customer may not reject them, but on receipt of notice from the Customer that the wrong quantity of Goods was delivered, a pro rata adjustment shall be made to the Order invoice.
    • Cally King may deliver Orders by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. The Customer may not cancel an instalment because of any delay in delivery or defect in another instalment.
  • QUALITY AND FITNESS FOR PURPOSE
    • Cally King warrants that, as at the Delivery Date, the Goods shall conform in all material respects with their description and be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979).
    • Subject to clause 5.3, if:

 (a)  the Customer gives notice in writing to Cally King within 3 Business Days after discovery that some or all of the Goods do not comply with the warranties set out in clause 5.1;

 (b)  Cally King is given a reasonable opportunity of examining such Goods; and

 (c)  Cally King collects such Goods at Cally King’s cost,

 Cally King shall, at its option, replace any Goods that are found to be defective, or refund the price of such defective Goods in full.

5.3 Cally King shall not be liable for Goods’ failure to comply with the warranties set out in clause 5.1 if:

 (a)  the Customer makes any further use of such Goods after giving notice of defects in accordance with clause 5.2;

 (b)  the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow Cally King’s oral or written instructions as to the storage or use and maintenance of the Goods or (if there are none) good trade practice regarding the same;

 (c)  the Customer alters or repairs such Goods without the written consent of Cally King;

 (d)  the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal storage or working conditions; or

 (e)  the Goods differ from their description as a result of changes made to ensure they comply with applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

    • Cally King’s only liability to the Customer if the Goods fail to comply with the warranties set out in clause 5.1 is as set out in this clause 5.
    • The terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.
    • The terms of the Contract shall apply to any repaired or replacement Goods supplied by Cally King.
  •   TITLE AND RISK
    • Risk in Goods shall pass to the Customer on completion of unloading the Goods at the Delivery Location.
    •  Title to Goods shall only pass to the Customer once Cally King receives payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for them.
    • Until title to the Goods has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall:

 (a)  store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Customer so that they remain readily identifiable as Cally King’s property;

 (b)  not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;

 (c)  maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery;

 (d)  notify Cally King immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 10.1(b); and

 (e)  give Cally King such information relating to the Goods as Cally King may require from time to time.

    • Cally King may recover Goods in which title has not passed to the Customer. The Customer irrevocably licenses Cally King, its officers, employees and agents, to enter any premises of the Customer (including with vehicles), in order to satisfy itself that the Customer is complying with the obligations in clause 6.3, and to recover any Goods in which property has not passed to the Customer.
    • Cally King may at any time after delivery elect to transfer title in the Goods to the Customer, in which case the Customer shall immediately pay the Price to the Seller.

8.3 Cally King may invoice the Customer for the price of Goods plus VAT at the prevailing rate (if applicable) on or at any time after it confirms the relevant Order to the Customer. Cally King shall ensure that the invoice includes the date of the Order, the invoice number, Cally King’s VAT registration number, and any supporting documentation that the Customer may reasonably require.
