Terms & Conditions
GENERAL
1. These are the terms and conditions (“Conditions”) on which we supply products to you, whether these are goods (the “Goods”) and/or services (the “Services”) (together the “Products”).
2. Please read these terms carefully before you submit your order to the Company. These terms tell you who we are, how we will provide Products to you, how you and we may change or end the contract, what to do if there is a problem and other important information. If you think that there is a mistake in these terms, please contact us to discuss.
3. The Products are supplied by Flexel International Ltd or any of its subsidiary companies or parent company as the case may be (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”).
4. In some areas you will have different rights under these terms depending on whether you are a business or a consumer. You are considered a consumer if:
a. you are an individual; and
b. you are buying products from us wholly or mainly for your own personal use (not for use in connection with your trade, business, craft or profession).
Provisions that are specific to consumers only or business customers only will be clearly marked at the beginning of such clause. If you are a consumer customer who has bought Products online, by email, telephone or fax, we would like, in particular, to draw your attention to clause 71 (short term rights of cancellation).
QUOTATIONS AND OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
5. The Company may provide you with a quotation for the Products. Such quotations will be valid until the date specified on each quotation and provided it is not withdrawn by the Company prior to this date it remains capable of acceptance by you. No binding contract will come into existence between you and the Company until the Company sends to you notice of acceptance of your order (“Purchase Order”) which has either been signed by the Company’s duly authorised representative or the Company has indicated to you orally or in writing its acceptance of your order.
6. If you place an order with the Company without requesting a quotation from the Company or before such quotation has been provided, all deliveries carried out in satisfaction of such order will be subject to these Conditions.
7. If the Company is unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing or by telephone and will not charge you for the Products. This may be because the Products are out of stock, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because a credit reference that we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the product or because we are unable to meet the delivery deadline you have specified.
8. We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.
ORDERS
9. You may place orders on our website (for certain items), by post, e-mail, telephone or through our distributor network in their shops.
10. Where orders are sent by post or e-mail by way of confirmation of telephone instructions you will ensure they are clearly marked as such, failing which any additional expense incurred by the Company as a result of duplication of orders will be charged to you.
CERTIFICATION
11. If you require goods from a quality assured source or certificates of conformity you must specify such requirements in writing at the time of placing the order.
OUR PRODUCTS
12. The images of the Products on our website are for illustrative purposes only. Although we have made every effort to display the colours accurately, your Products may vary slightly from those images shown.
13. The packaging of our product may also vary from that shown in images on our website.
SAMPLES
14. Due to the nature of our product range the company does not generally operate a samples policy for any of our product range, however if a product is not suitable please contact our office to discuss potentially returning the goods to us. Should the request be granted for a sample - any samples submitted to you at your request must be returned to the Company in good condition within ninety (90) days of receipt or such shorter period as the Company may specify. The Company may charge the market value of all samples not so returned. Such market value will be the market value on the date when the sample was due to be returned.
COMPATIBILITY
15. The Company will not be responsible for, and makes no guarantees or warranties in respect of, the compatibility of Products bought from the Company with the compatibility of products not bought from the Company. Please contact us to discuss potential compatibility prior to ordering.
NEW ACCOUNTS
16. This clause 16 applies to business customers only. Buyers wishing to open a credit account are requested to complete and sign an Application for Credit Account form (“Application Form”). The Proprietor(s), Partner(s) or an authorised employee (if a Limited Company), must sign the Application Form. Until an Application Form has been received and a credit account approved in writing, orders will not be accepted until cleared funds have been received. Should you have established sufficient credit facilities with us, subject to clause 47, you will be invoiced immediately and payment of any charges due must be paid no later than thirty (30) days after the date the invoice was issued, unless otherwise agreed by us, in writing, in advance.
DELIVERY/ CARRIAGE
17. If the Product(s) are Goods we will deliver them to you as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within thirty (30) days after the date on which we accept your order (unless otherwise agreed in writing).
18. Delivery dates (if any) given by the Company are given in good faith to indicate estimated delivery times but will not amount to any contractual obligation to deliver at the times stated.
19. This clause 19 applies to business customers only. The Company will not be liable for any loss of profit, costs, damages, charges or expenses caused directly or indirectly by any delay in the delivery of the Goods (even if caused by the Company’s negligence). If such delay continues for ninety (90) days or more, you will be entitled to terminate or rescind the contract.
20. The costs of delivery and delivery timescales will be as displayed to you on our website or as specified to you at the time of order. Saturdays and Sundays and Bank Holidays are not applicable to any delivery service we offer.
21. If our supply of Products is delayed by an event outside of our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any Products you have paid for but not received.
22. If you have asked to collect the Products from our premises, you can collect them from us at any time during our working hours of 8am till 5pm on weekdays (excluding public holidays). There is no weekend collection without prior arrangement.
23. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the Products cannot be posted through your letterbox, our courier will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or collect the Products from a local depot.
24. If you do not collect the Products from us as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract and clause 79 will apply.
25. If you do not allow us access to your property to perform the Services as arranged (and you do not have good reason for this) we may charge you additional costs incurred by us as a result. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange access to your property we may end the contract and clause 79 will apply.
PASSING OF TITLE/RISK
26. A Product which is Goods will be your responsibility from the time we deliver the Product to the address you gave us or you collect it from us.
27. Ownership of the Goods will not pass to you until the Company has received in full (cleared funds) all sums due to it in respect of the Products and all other sums which are or which become due to the Company from you on any account.
28. Until ownership of the Goods has passed to you, you must:
a. hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as the Company’s bailee (i.e. without transfer of ownership of the Goods);
b. store the Goods (at your own cost) separately from all other goods belonging to you or any third party so that they are identifiable as the Company’s property;
c. not destroy, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;
d. maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition insured on the Company’s behalf for their full price against all risks to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company. On request you will produce evidence of the policy of insurance to the Company (where applicable); and
e. hold any proceeds of such insurance on trust for the Company separately from any other money, and not pay the proceeds into an overdrawn bank account.
29. If you are a Business Customer, you may resell the Goods before ownership has passed to you provided such sale is:
a. in the ordinary course of your business and you will account to the Company accordingly; and
b. on your own behalf and you deal as principal when making such sale.
30. If the Company cannot determine which goods are the Goods, you will be deemed to have sold all Goods sold by the Company to you in the order in which they were invoiced to you.
31. The Company will be entitled to recover payment for the Goods notwithstanding that ownership of any Goods has not passed from the Company.
SUSPENSION OF SUPPLY IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS
32. We may have to suspend the supply of a Product to:
a. deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes; and
b. update the Product to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements.
33. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the Product, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the Product for longer than ninety (90) days we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for Products while they are suspended. You may contact us to end the contract for a Product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than ninety (90) days and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the Product in respect of the period after you end the contract.
34. We may also suspend the supply of Products if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the Products when you are supposed to and you still do not make payment within fourteen (14) days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the Products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the Products. We will not suspend the Products where you dispute the unpaid invoice. We will not charge you for the Products during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the Products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments.
PRICES
35. The price of the Product(s) (which excludes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order.
36. It is always possible, despite our best efforts, that some of the Products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the Product’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the Product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
37. In the event of termination, variation or suspension of a contract on the Buyer’s instruction or by lack of instruction, the contract price will be adjusted to reflect the additional costs incurred by the Company. Where a price per unit has been quoted and the Buyer requires a smaller number of units to be delivered than those quoted for, the Company reserves the right to adjust the rates of prices applicable thereto.
VALUE ADDED TAX
38. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the Products, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Products in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
PROMOTIONAL VOUCHER CODES
39. Any future promotional voucher codes for Flexel Product(s) cannot be exchanged for cash.
40. No liability will be accepted for the replacement or refund of lost, stolen or expired promotional voucher codes.
41. Individual promotional voucher codes cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.

We reserve the right to withdraw credit at any time and demand immediate payment of all monies outstanding.
48. If you are a business customer you must pay all amounts due to us under these Conditions in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
If you are a business customer, the Company, at its discretion, shall be entitled to exercise its statutory right to claim interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Regulations 2002, as modified or re-enacted from time to time. The Company may exercise this right, in addition to any other rights it may have in respect of Goods or non-payment.
49. Where the contract is to be or may be fulfilled in separate instalments, deliveries or parts, payment for each such instalment delivery or part will be made as if the same constituted a separate contract. Failure by the Buyer to pay for an instalment in accordance with this clause 49 will entitle the Company without prejudice to its other rights and remedies to suspend further deliveries of Products under any other contract to the Buyer, pending payment by the Buyer.
50. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we may charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

CREDIT

OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER

CANCELLATION OF AN ORDER
69. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing, when you decide to end the contract and whether you are a consumer or a business customer.
70. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at (a) to (e) below the contract will end immediately and we will refund you in full for any Products which have not been provided and you may also be entitled to compensation. The reasons are:
a. we have told you about an upcoming change to the Product or these terms which you do not agree to;
b. we have told you about an error in the price or description of the Product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
c. there is a risk that supply of the Products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
d. if you are a business and we have suspended supply of the Products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons, in accordance with clauses 32 and 33, in each case for a period of more than ninety (90) days; or
e. you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
71. If you are a consumer then for most Products you have bought online, by email, telephone or fax you have a legal right to cancel your order for the Product(s) which ends fourteen (14) days from the day you receive your Goods (“Cooling Off Right”). Any orders cancelled and Goods returned to the Company under this clause 71 will be fully refunded, including the cost of Basic Delivery as advertised on our website at the date of purchase. You do not have to give any reason for your change of mind under this clause 71.
72. Your right as a consumer to change your mind under clause 71 does not apply in respect of:
a. Services, once these have been completed, even if the cancellation period is still running;
b. any Products which become mixed inseparably with other items after their delivery.
73. Even if we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has a right to change their mind, you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract for Goods is completed when the Product is delivered and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you are not a consumer who has changed their mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end immediately and we will refund any sums paid by you for the Products not provided but we may deduct from that refund reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of ending your contract.
74. To end the contract with us, please contact us on the details provided in clause 104.
75. If you end the contract for any reason after the Products have been dispatched to you or you have received them, you must return them to us. You must either return the Goods in person to where you bought them, post them back to us at Flexel International Ltd, Telford Road, Glenrothes KY7 4NX or (if they are not suitable for posting) allow us to collect them from you. Please call customer services on 01592 760929 or email us at enquiries@flexel.co.uk for a return label or to arrange collection. If you are a consumer exercising your right to change your mind you must send off the Goods within 14 days of telling us you wish to end the contract.
76. We will pay for the costs of return:
a. if the Products are faulty or incorrectly described; or
b. if you are ending the contract because we have told you of an upcoming change to the Product or these terms, an error in pricing or description, a delay in delivery due to events outside our control or because you have a legal right to do so as a result of something we have done wrong.
In all other circumstances you must pay the costs of return.
77. This clause 77 applies in addition to the Cooling Off Rights under clause 71 above and applies to both business customers and consumers. If you are not satisfied with the Products, you may return them within thirty (30) days from date of delivery subject to the Products being in a re-saleable condition. If you wish to return any of the Products after thirty (30) days from delivery, this will be at the sole discretion of the Company and only for Products that are faulty.
78. If you are entitled to a refund under these terms we will refund you the price you paid for the Products including delivery costs, by the method you used for payment. However, we may make deductions from the price, as described below:
a. If you are exercising the right to change your mind as a consumer we may reduce your refund of the price (excluding delivery costs) to reflect any reduction in the value of the Goods, if this has been caused by your handling of them in a way which would not be permitted in a shop. If we refund you the price paid before we are able to inspect the Goods and later discover that you have handled them in an unacceptable way, you must pay to us an appropriate amount.
b. Where the Product is a service, we may deduct from any refund an amount for the supply of the service for the period for which it was supplied, ending with the time when you told us you had changed your mind. The amount will be in proportion to what has been supplied, in comparison with the full coverage of the contract.
OUR RIGHT TO END THE CONTRACT
79. We may end the contract for a Product at any time in writing to you if:
a. you do not make any payment to us when it is due and you still do not make payment within fourteen (14) days of us reminding you that payment is due;
b. you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the Products; or
c. you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the Products to you or collect them from us.
80. If we end the contract in the situations set out in clause 79 we will refund any money paid in advance for the Products we have not provided but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking of the contract.
81. We may withdraw the Product. We may write to you to let you know that we are going to stop providing the Product. We will let you know at least three (3) days in advance of our stopping the supply of the Product and will refund any sums you have paid in advance for Products which will not be provided.
CLEARANCE ITEMS
