Conditions of use

Terms of Sale:

1. INTRODUCTION

We are Hamelin Brands Limited, trading as Hamelin Brands Limited, and we are supplying goods to you. Hamelin Brands Limited is registered in England with company number 5680323 and our registered office is Kings Warren Business Park, Red Lodge, Suffolk IP28 8WG.

In these standard sale conditions “You” refers to the customer, being the School, Organisation or Corporate Body placing an order with us.

Any order placed with us incorporates these standard sale conditions and<

  • the price agreed, and
  • the delivery or collection details.

That is the whole of our agreement for this supply and supersedes any previous agreement we may have had in relation to it. No variation to the agreement is valid unless it is in writing and either signed or specifically agreed to in writing by our authorised representative. Notwithstanding the above, no variation to these standard sale conditions is valid unless it is in writing and signed by one of our Executive Directors.

We are responsible for making the supply to you, but we may arrange to do so through agents or subcontractors.

2. CANCELLATION AND VARIATION

You may cancel your order at any time before the supply is made. If you do, you are to pay us on demand a reasonable cancellation charge which takes into account all work we have done under the agreement, all costs we have incurred and any costs we are committed to pay, and our loss of profit.

If you ask us to vary your order and agree with us an appropriate variation to the price and to the timescale for delivery, we agree to make the supply in accordance with those variations. We may vary the price by an amount sufficient to cover any significant increase in the cost of materials or other costs we incur to fulfil your order.

If you have received your order of our standard exercise books with no personalisation and you have ordered the wrong products, then please contact us. We will endeavour to replace these books, however there will be an admin charge of £50 and if different specification is required the cost difference will be charged.

3. PRICE

Unless otherwise stated you are to pay, in addition to the agreed price, applicable VAT and any other tax imposed on the supply.

4. PAYMENT

We will invoice you once the goods have been dispatched for delivery. You are to pay the invoice within 30 days of the end of the month shown on the invoice. If you have a claim against us you must pay by the due date the amount not in dispute.

5. WARRANTY AND DEFECTS

We warrant to you that the goods will be at the time of delivery free from any material defect due to faulty materials and workmanship and that any services will be provided with reasonable skill and care so long as:

  • you give us full details of any defect immediately it becomes apparent
  • the goods have not, in our view, suffered excess wear and tear by improper or careless use or storage, excessive stressing or the like.

All implied warranties or conditions are excluded to the extent permitted by law.

If you endorse on the delivery note that goods are unexamined and within 3 days of delivery notify us in writing of any defects we may, after inspecting the goods (and if we are satisfied that their condition has not deteriorated following delivery) at our discretion repair or replace the defective goods, or take them back and refund the price.

6. DELIVERY

All orders that are of a total value of £50 after any discounts applied to your order will be delivered to you free of charge. Any orders of £49.99 and below, after any discounts applied to your order will be rejected. We are to use reasonable endeavours to have the goods ready when agreed, but this is only an estimate of the delivery date. You can only refuse to accept delivery after that date if:

  • after the date of our acknowledgement of your order you have sent us a written notice specifying a deadline date and
  • we have specifically accepted that deadline date in writing.
You must notify us of any claims in respect of short deliveries within 3 days of receipt of the goods.

7. PACKAGING

We decide the appropriate method of packaging. Packages and wrappers are free and nonreturnable.

8. CUSTOMER ARTWORK

You are responsible for the quality of the artwork imagery you provide. Our obligation is to supply the goods in the form you approve. We are not responsible for any errors which you do not identify in writing at the time you give your approval.

9. PASSING OF RISK AND TITLE

The goods are at your risk when they are unloaded at the delivery address. The goods do not belong to you until we have received payment in cash or cleared funds of the price.

10. TERMINATION

Either of us may terminate this agreement immediately on written notice if the other is in breach of an obligation and cannot put it right or does not put it right within 21 days of receiving notice to do so. On termination any existing claims which either of us has against the other remain in force.
We may terminate this agreement immediately on notice if we reasonably believe that you will not be able to pay the price or other payments when due and in that event, we have no further liabilities under the agreement.

11. LIABILITIES

We do not seek to exclude or restrict our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence; or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Where we or our employees or agents negligently damage your property when delivering goods, our total liability to you in respect of an event or series of connected events is limited to £500,000.

In respect of any other claims our liability is limited, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to any direct loss or damage up to the amount of the price paid for the goods giving rise to the claim.

We have no liability (directly or indirectly) for loss of business, revenue, opportunity or profits, anticipated savings or wasted expenditure, corruption or destruction of computer data or for any indirect or consequential loss whatsoever.

Neither of us is liable for any failure to fulfil our obligations to the other where such failure is due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

You agree to pay us on demand an amount sufficient to cover all liability, claims (including, but not limited to, any claim from a third party that we have infringed any intellectual property rights in the work carried out), damages, loss and expenses which may arise either directly or indirectly resulting from our acting reasonably in accordance with your instructions.

12. GENERAL

No benefits are to be conferred on any third party by this agreement.

If part of this agreement is invalid or unenforceable that does not affect the remainder. Invalidity or unenforceability in one jurisdiction does not affect validity or enforceability in another.

Unless you object in writing, we may put your name and other details into a computerised directory. This will be only for our use and that of any other company within Group Hamelin worldwide.

All agreements and their subject matter are confidential and must not be disclosed to any person without our permission

Any reference in an agreement to communications, being written or in writing includes electronic forms of communication such as e-mail. If we communicate with you electronically, it will be effective from when it leaves our mailbox. Any electronic communication from you to us will be effective when it arrives in our mailbox.

Provisions relating to warranties, limitation of liability, intellectual property, confidentiality and obligations on termination survive termination or expiration of the agreement.

Nothing in this agreement shall affect the rights of Consumers.

English law applies to the agreement. We both accept the jurisdiction of the English Courts. We may also bring proceedings against you in other jurisdictions.
