“Additional Terms” are conditions of purchase or supply specified by the Company from time to time relating to the Company’s purchase or supply of particular types of goods. Copies of such terms will normally be attached to the order referring to them.
(a) All contracts of purchase or sale made by the Company shall be governed exclusively by the Conditions of purchase or the Conditions of sale.
(b) Only a supplementary Purchase/Sales Order may vary the Conditions of Purchase/Sale or another document in writing signed by a Director of the Company and/or his authorised deputies and not by an act or statement by any person acting or purporting to act on behalf of the Company.
(c) The Conditions of Purchase/Sale shall override and take the place of any other terms or conditions in any document or other communication used by the Supplier/Customer in concluding the contract with the Company. Acceptance of an Order constitutes a contract which incorporates the Conditions of Purchase/Sale. Without prejudice to any other mode of acceptance the commencement by the Supplier/Customer of any work on or connected with the Goods (including work done in connection with samples and tooling) will comprise acceptance by the Supplier/Customer of the Purchase/Sales Order on these Conditions of Purchase/Sale.
(d) The headings used in these Conditions of Purchase/Sale are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction thereof.
(e) The application of the Uniform Laws on International Sales shall be excluded. English law shall be the law applicable to this contract and, for the benefit of the Company, the courts of England shall have jurisdiction to settle any disputes.
(a) The prices stated in a Purchase Order are fixed prices and are not subject to alteration for any reason whatsoever.
(b) If the price of the Goods comprised in a Purchase Order is not stated but calculable the Supplier will notify a company Director of the monetary amount (which shall be no more than that charged to other companies for the same Goods and/or Services) as soon as possible after receipt of a Purchase Order, and a Purchase Order shall not be binding on the Company until the monetary amount is agreed in writing by a Director of the Company.
(c) The prices on the Purchase Order exclude Value Added Tax.
(d) Errors and omissions are excepted
(a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing the Supplier will render a Statement of Account to the Company at the end of the month in which delivery of the Goods is made. Unless otherwise agreed in writing payment by the Company will be at the end of the month following the month in which delivery of the Goods is made, subject to the account being received no later than the first week of the month, failing which payment shall be due at the end of the succeeding month. Any delay in payment due to the Supplier’s failure to render such account will not prejudice the Company’s entitlement to any special discounts that may be agreed.
(b) In no circumstances will the Company be liable for any interest or surcharge for any delay in payment.
(a) The Supplier hereby agrees that as Conditions of any purchase order for goods supplied to the company:
(i) the Supplier has the right to sell the Goods and the Goods are and will remain until property therein passes to the Company the absolute property of the Supplier free of any lien, charge or other encumbrance and the Company will enjoy quiet possession thereof;
(ii) all Goods ordered shall correspond strictly with description and specification and with any sample provided and shall be in every respect fit for the purpose for which the Company has expressly or by implication made known that it requires the same and shall be of best quality which is also of a standard not less than that of previous supplies (if any) approved by the Company. The Supplier’s obligations under this Condition shall be in no way affected by whether or not the Goods are bought by description, or the Supplier deals in goods of the same description, or the Goods are specified under a patent or trade name, or the Company has examined the Goods or the sample or any defect would have been apparent had it done so;
(iii) the Company shall not be bound to accept and pay for any Goods unless the same are specified in a Purchase order on the Conditions of Purchase and the Company will not accept responsibility for the safe custody of protection of Goods left at its premises and the risk shall pass only when the signature of an authorised member of the Company’s goods receiving department is obtained on a document quoting the number of a Purchase Order on the Conditions of Purchase and thereafter in accordance with Clause 9. The Company will not accept Goods until it has had a reasonable opportunity of examining them following delivery for the purpose of ascertaining whether they are in conformity with the contract;
(iv) without prejudice to any other rights or remedies possessed by the Company, the Company shall be entitled to reject any Goods (or any part of them) delivered to it if the same do not comply exactly with any drawings, specifications or instructions supplied or given by the Company or with any sample provided or if the Goods (or any part of them) prove defective under normal conditions of use (excluding normal wear and tear) or if the Supplier is in breach of any of the Conditions of Purchase, but if the Company does accept any such Goods which is entitled to reject, it reserves the right to pay a reduced price for them.
(b) The Company shall advise the Supplier of non-receipt, shortages, rejection of the Goods or non-conformity with the conditions set out in 5
(a) above within 21 days after such defaults have come to the Company’s knowledge.

Where the Company is entitled to reject or refuse to accept any Goods or if the Goods (or any part of them) prove defective under normal conditions of use (excluding normal wear and tear), the Supplier shall, at the option of the Company and without prejudice to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled, repair or replace the goods, reimburse the Company in full for the cost of repair carried out by the Company or any third party at the Company’s direction, or refund the full purchase price.
(d) The Company reserves the right by written notice to require changes in the designs and/or the specifications applicable to the Goods.

(b) The time stipulated for delivery of the Goods shall be of the essence of the Order. Should the Supplier fail to deliver the goods within the period specified the Company (without prejudice to any other remedies to which it may be entitled) reserves the right to:-
(i) cancel that part of the Order which is undelivered at the end of the specified period, and
(ii) charge to the supplier any additional costs, losses or expenses in which they may be involved due to the Supplier’s failure to deliver the Goods at the stipulated time.
(c) Goods delivered in excess of specified requirements remain at the risk of the Supplier and may be returned to the Supplier at no risk or expense to the Company.
(d) The Company shall be entitled to regulate the rate of delivery of the Goods by means of delivery schedules.

No deliveries can be accepted on Saturdays, except by special arrangement made with the Company in advance. Deliveries will not be accepted ahead of due date without our prior agreement. Should the Goods arrive earlier than this date, then the Company reserves the right to withhold payment of the invoice until the end of the month following the month in which delivery was due under the Conditions of Purchase, or alternatively, return the Goods to the Supplier at his cost.
(a) The Company reserves the right at any time to inspect the Goods at the place where the Goods are being manufactured or stored but such inspection shall neither relieve the Supplier of any obligation under the Conditions of Purchase nor impose any obligations on the Company.

(a) The Goods shall be properly packed and secured by the Supplier in such a manner as to reach their destination in good condition.
(b) Unless agreed in writing the Company shall not be required to pay for or to return to the Supplier any such packaging or containers for the Goods. Where packaging and containers are agreed to be returnable, all packaging materials must be branded or stamped with the Supplier’s name and address and all costs of return and all risk in the returned materials shall be borne by the Supplier.
The property in the Goods shall pass to the Company on payment of the price invoiced for the Goods or on acceptance, whichever first occurs. The Goods shall remain at the risk of the Supplier until the property in the Goods passes to the Company. If the Goods are rejected by the Company the property and the risk therein shall remain with or thereupon revert to the Supplier.

Using your credit card to make purchases via our web site is a secure way to pay for your goods and we have put a number of security steps in place to ensure that you can purchase in total confidence. All sensitive information (personal details as well as credit card information) is kept confidential through 128-bit secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption. This means that information can only be exchanged between your computer and Hydropac, with no third party being able to access the data. The universal security symbol of a padlock is usually displayed by your browser to show when a page is covered by this particular security system.
No historical information regarding your credit card is held on file, only your name and address details will be held on a secure computer, not our web server.
For additional protection, we ask for your card’s security code when authorising the payment. This code is printed on the signature strip on the back of all Visa and Mastercards. The security code is only printed on the card and is not coded into the magnetic stripe or shown on your statement. The card security code is not raised or indented, so it can not be scanned into standard credit card readers. In theory these numbers are only visible to you when you have the card in your possession. When you give your card security code to a merchant, you assist the merchant in verifying that the order is being placed by you, the card holder.
All unused products found to be outside the normal manufacturing tolerances stated in our product specifications will be replaced at no cost to the customer. Unless otherwise agreed, Hydropac will require the return of the faulty product prior to the despatch of replacements.
