Basis of Sale

Orders are not binding upon us until all particulars have been supplied and we have agreed them in writing.

The description of Goods and Services is as set out in the quotation and confirmed on the Invoice.

All goods are sold ‘ex works’ unless otherwise stated.

Prices & Payment

All prices quoted are in UK Pounds Sterling (GBP), are valid for 30 DAYS only and are subject to change after this period.

Value Added Tax will be charged to and paid by the purchaser at the rate in force at the appropriate tax point.

Unless credit terms have been agreed, payment is due at the time of order. Funds are payable to the nominated bank account shown on the Invoice. 

Where credit is allowed on submission of our completed Credit Application Form, payment terms are 30 days net from date of Invoice. We reserve the right to alter or withdraw the Customer’s credit limit immediately on written notice.

If you default for any reason in making full and prompt payment, Cristofoli International Ltd. shall be entitled to suspend deliveries until full payment is made.

Delivery & Completion Dates

Material stock availability, existing works and machine capability sometimes hinder completion times, however we will notify you of any delays at the earliest opportunity.

All quoted delivery or completion times are approximate and whilst every effort will be made to meet such dates, we accept no responsibility for failing to deliver or late delivery / completion due to circumstances out of our control.

Cristofoli International Ltd. will not be liable in any circumstances for the consequences of any delay in delivery, or failure to deliver, if the duration of the delay is not substantial or if the delay or failure is due to an act of God, fire, inclement or exceptional weather conditions, industrial action, hostilities, breakdown, shortages of labour, materials power or other supplies, late or non-delivery or non-performance by suppliers or sub-contractors or any other cause whatever beyond our control or of an unexpected or exceptional nature.

No delay shall entitle the Customer to reject any delivery or cancel or repudiate the contract.

We cannot undertake to meet any schedule or Customer’s requirements supplied after the date of the contract and will have no liability for the delay in meeting or failure to meet all of any such requirements.

Unless otherwise expressly agreed, delivery of the goods shall be to the place of installation/fixing and the Customer shall be responsible for the unloading of the goods. The Company shall have no liability in respect of the costs arising from the Customer taking delivery or unloading the goods.

Cristofoli International Ltd. accepts no responsibility for any damage, shortage or loss in transit. Claims for this should be made on the carrier and any conditions imposed by the carrier in relation to the claims for damage, shortage or loss in transit should be complied with.

Risk & Title

All risks, damage or loss shall pass to the purchaser upon collection or dispatch from the Company premises.

The beneficial title and ownership of the Goods shall not pass to the purchaser until Cristofoli International Limited has received, in cash or cleared funds, payment in full.

At any time prior to full payment, we reserve the right to repossess any Goods or any part thereof and may enter on the Customer’s site/premises by its employees or agents for that purpose.

In the event of such repossession, the purchaser shall return the Goods at their own cost.

Cancellations

Cristofoli International Limited reserves the right to refuse cancellations of confirmed orders placed by the purchaser and refuse acceptance of goods returned to us without permission. We do not trade on a ‘sale or return basis’.

Returns & Refunds

Goods cannot be returned without prior, written agreement. Refunds or exchanges cannot be made on bespoke, made to order items as they carry no resale value.

The purchaser is under a duty to inspect the Goods on delivery or collection and services upon completion. In the unlikely event that an error has passed our quality control processes and any alleged damages or shortages are identified, please let us know no longer than 72 hours from receipt of goods or completion, so we can rectify the problem. 

The purchaser bears the risk and cost of returning any Goods.

Delayed Acceptance

If for any reason the Customer is unable or refuses to accept delivery of the goods when the goods are due and ready for delivery, we may arrange storage of the goods and the Customer shall be liable for the reasonable costs of such storage. This provision is without prejudice to any other right which we may have in respect of the Customer’s failure to take delivery of the goods or to pay for them in accordance with the contract.

Collection & Delivery Services

Goods are to be collected from Cristofoli International Limited in Southampton by the purchaser at a prearranged time unless alternative actions are agreed. We can arrange delivery of Goods, however there will be a charge for this service.
