Terms of Business

1. INTERPRETATION

In these Terms and Conditions the following expressions will have the following meanings unless inconsistent with the context:

 

2. FORMATION AND INCORPORATION

 

2.1 Subject to any variation under Condition 12.1, the Contract will be upon these Terms and Conditions, to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions and all previous oral or written representations including any terms or conditions which the Buyer purports to apply under any purchase order, confirmation of order or similar document, whether or not such document is referred to in the Contract.

 

2.2 Each order or acceptance of a quotation for Goods or Services will be deemed to be an offer by the Buyer to purchase Goods or Services upon these Terms and Conditions. The Contract is formed when the order is accepted by Vanzeel. No contract will come into existence until the acceptance, either orally or in writing, of an order by Vanzeel.

 

2.3 Any quotation is valid for a period of 30 days only from its date, provided Vanzeel has not previously withdrawn it.

 

2.4 Subject to Condition 8.1 in relation to Buyers dealing as Consumers, Vanzeel may cancel the Contract at any time prior to delivery or performance.

 

3. DESCRIPTION

 

The quantity and description of the Goods and/or Services will be as set out in the order form/specification. All samples, drawings, descriptive matter, specifications and advertising issued by Vanzeel and any descriptions or illustrations contained in Vanzeel catalogues or brochures are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods or Services represented by or described in them. They will not form part of the Contract and this is not a sale by sample.

 

4. PRICE AND PAYMENT

 

4.1 The price for the Goods and/or Services will be the price set out in Vanzeel's order form current at the date of acceptance of the order, and is [inclusive] [exclusive] of any costs of packaging and carriage, VAT and any other applicable sales tax or duty.4.2 Subject to condition 8.2 in relation to Buyers dealing as Consumers, all payments to be made by the Buyer under the Contract will be made in full without any set-off, restriction or condition and without any deduction for or on account of any counterclaim.4.3 Vanzeel may at any time suspend the provision of the Goods or the Services if the Buyer is late in making any payment due to Vanzeel.4.4 If any sum payable under the Contract is not paid when due then, without prejudice to Vanzeel other rights under the Contract, that sum will bear interest from the due date until payment is made in full, both before and after any judgement, at 2% per annum over China Bank base rate from time to time and Vanzeel will be entitled to suspend deliveries of the Goods or performance of the Services until the outstanding amount has been received.

 

5. DELIVERY

 

5.1 If the Goods shall be delivered to the Buyer’s premises. The Services will be performed at the location agreed between the Buyer and Vanzeel and as specified on the order form or at such location as otherwise agreed in writing between Vanzeel and the Buyer.

 

5.2 Delivery of the Goods will be accepted at any time of day. If the Buyer fails to take delivery, or provide any necessary documents, the Goods will be deemed to have been delivered and Vanzeel, without prejudice to its other rights, may at its option:

5.2.1 store or arrange for storage of the Goods until actual delivery or sale and charge the Buyer for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance); and/or

5.2.2 use reasonable endeavours to rearrange delivery but, if unable to rearrange delivery, following written notice to the Buyer, sell any of the Goods at the best price reasonably obtainable in the circumstances and charge the Buyer for any shortfall below the price under the Contract or account to the Buyer for any excess achieved over the price under the Contract, in both cases having taken into account any charges related to the sale.

 

5.3 Vanzeel will use reasonable endeavours to deliver or perform each of the Buyer’s orders for the Goods and/or Services within the time agreed when the Buyer places an order and, if no time is agreed, then within a reasonable time, but the time of delivery or performance will not be of the essence. Subject to Condition 8.1 where the Buyer is dealing as a Consumer, any delay in delivery or performance will not entitle the Buyer to cancel the Contract unless and until the Buyer has given 30 days’ written notice to Vanzeel requiring the delivery or performance to be made and Vanzeel has not fulfilled the delivery or performance within that period. If the Buyer cancels the order in accordance with this Condition 5.3 then:

5.3.1 Vanzeel will refund to the Buyer any sums which the Buyer has paid to Vanzeel in respect of that order or part of the order which has been cancelled;

5.3.2 the Buyer will be under no liability to make any further payments under Condition 4 in respect of that order or part of the order which has been cancelled; and

5.3.3 Vanzeel will have no other liability to the Buyer in respect of the delay or failure of Vanzeel.

 

6. RISK/TITLE

 

6.1 All Goods will remain the property of Vanzeel until the price of such Goods has been paid in full (in cash or cleared funds).6.2 Risk in the Goods will pass to the Buyer from the date of delivery unless the Buyer is dealing as a Consumer, in which case the Goods shall remain at Vanzeel ’s risk until they are delivered to the Consumer or deemed to be delivered in accordance with condition 5.2.6.3 The Buyer’s right to possession will terminate immediately upon the occurrence of an event which would allow Vanzeel to terminate the Contract under Condition 11.1.6.4 The Buyer grants Vanzeel , its agents and employees an irrevocable licence at any time to enter any premises where the Goods are or may be stored in order to inspect them, or, where the Buyer’s right to possession has terminated, to recover them.

7.1 This Condition 7 is in addition to and does not affect a Consumer’s rights in relation to defective Goods or Services given to consumers by law.

 

7.2 Vanzeel will, free of charge, within a period of 6 months from the date of delivery of Goods which are proved to the reasonable satisfaction of Vanzeel to be damaged or defective due to defects in material, workmanship or design (other than a design made, furnished or specified by the Buyer), replace such Goods. This obligation will not apply where:

7.2.1 any instructions as to the use or storage of the Goods have not been complied with in all respects; or7.2.2 the Buyer has failed to notify Vanzeel of any defect or suspected defect within 14 days of delivery or performance where the defect should be apparent on reasonable inspection, or within 14 days of the same coming to the knowledge of the Buyer where the defect is not one which should be apparent on reasonable inspection, and in any event no later than 6 months from the date of delivery.

7.6 Except as provided in Conditions 7.1 to 7.5 and 8.4, Vanzeel will be under no liability to the Buyer whatsoever (whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty, restitution or otherwise) for any injury, death, damage or direct, indirect or consequential loss (all three of which terms include, without limitation, pure economic loss, loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and like loss) howsoever caused arising out of or in connection with any Contract including the provision of any Goods or Services.

 

7.7 Except as set out in Conditions 5.3, 7.1 to 7.5 and 8.4, Vanzeel hereby excludes to the fullest extent permissible in law, all conditions, warranties and stipulations, express (other than those set out in the Contract) or implied, statutory, customary or otherwise which, but for such exclusion, would or might subsist in favour of the Buyer.

8. ADDITIONAL TERMS ONLY RELATING TO BUYERS DEALING AS CONSUMERS

 

8.1 Once a Contract has come into existence between Vanzeel and a Consumer, Vanzeel shall only be entitled to cancel the Contract in accordance with Condition 11. If Vanzeel has not delivered Goods to a Buyer dealing as a Consumer within 30 days of the agreed delivery date, the Consumer may cancel the Contract and Vanzeel will refund any money paid.8.2 Following delivery, Buyers dealing as Consumers have the right to cancel a Contract and receive a refund. The Consumer must inform Vanzeel within 7 working days, commencing on the day after the Goods are delivered to the Consumer. If the Consumer chooses to cancel, the Goods must be returned at the Consumer’s cost and risk and Consumers must take reasonable care of the Goods. If the Consumer does not return the Goods within 14 days of cancellation, or when requested to do so by Vanzeel , whichever occurs first, Vanzeel can collect the Goods at the Consumer’s cost.8.3 Buyers dealing as Consumers are required to inspect the Goods for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not at the time of delivery they are damaged or defective. Buyers acting as Consumers are required to notify Vanzeel as soon as is reasonably practical in the event that the Goods are found on inspection to be defective or damaged. Vanzeel will then arrange for the return of the Goods to Vanzeel at no cost to the Consumer. If the Goods are found to be damaged prior to delivery to the Consumer, or defective, Vanzeel will repair or replace the Goods or refund the price paid by the Consumer.8.4 BUYERS DEALING AS CONSUMERS HAVE OTHER RIGHTS GRANTED BY LAW IN ADDITION TO THOSE SET OUT IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS WHICH Vanzeel CANNOT EXCLUDE. THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS DO NOT AFFECT THOSE OTHER RIGHTS GRANTED BY LAW.

Vanzeel will not be liable to the Buyer for any failure or delay or for the consequences of any failure or delay in performance of the Contract, if it is due to any event beyond the reasonable control and contemplation of Vanzeel including, without limitation, acts of God, war, industrial disputes, protests, fire, tempest, explosion, an act of terrorism and national emergencies and Vanzeel will be entitled to a reasonable extension of time for performing such obligations.

 

10. TERMINATION

Failure to pay any sums due in accordance with Condition 4.2 is a material breach of the terms of the Contract which is not capable of remedy.10.2 The termination of the Contract howsoever arising is without prejudice to the rights, duties and liability of either the Buyer or Vanzeel accrued prior to termination. The conditions which expressly or impliedly have effect after termination will continue to be in force notwithstanding termination.

The Buyer acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of Vanzeel which is not set out in the Contract.11.4 The parties to the Contract do not intend that any of its terms will be enforceable by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by any person not a party to it.11.5 For the avoidance of doubt should there be any conflict between the terms and conditions of sale set out in this document and any special terms attached to them, then the special terms shall prevail.11.6 The formation, existence, construction, performance, validity and all aspects whatsoever of the Contract or of any term of the Contract will be governed by Chinese law.
