2.Overview

These are the terms and conditions referred to in your order ('Order') for Us to supply You with Equipment Hire and Production ('Services').

They describe the terms on which We will supply the Services to You, and they explain our responsibility to You if We fail to meet these standards.

This introduction is designed to give You an overview of the terms and conditions, but it is not part of the terms and conditions themselves.

Note: These terms and conditions must be referred to in the Supplier's contract or order form and must be given to the Customer before the Contract/Order form is signed. If they are not, they will be ineffective.

3.The Contract

3.1 The Order is your offer to buy the Services from Us on these Conditions, and You must make sure that the Order (and any specification that forms part of your Order) is correct.

3.2 When We send You a written acceptance, You have a binding contract with Us, and these Conditions are part of it.

3.3 The contract is our entire agreement. No previous statements or representations that We have made to You form part of the contract unless they are written into it. This includes samples, drawings, advertising, catalogues and other promotional or descriptive material.

3.4 If We have given You a quotation for the Services, it is only valid for 14 days from its issue date. It is not an offer to supply the Services to You.

3.5 If either of Us needs to give the other a notice under the contract ('Notice'), the Notice must be given properly to be effective. Clause 11.4 explains how to give a proper Notice.

4.Our Services

4.1 We will supply the Services to You that are set out in the contract. Any performance dates are estimates, and We are not guaranteeing those timings.

4.2 We can change the Services if necessary to comply with any regulations, or if our changes don't affect the nature and quality of the Services. If We decide to make a change, We will tell You in a Notice.

5.Your Obligations

5.1 You must do the following things:

5.1.1 co-operate with Us so that We can supply the Services properly;

5.1.2 give Us access to your premises, and give Us any information, materials, facilities, that We reasonably require;

5.1.3 obtain any licences and permission needed for Us to supply the Services before We start;

5.1.4 keep all our documents and property safe whilst they are at your premises;

5.1.5 replace all our property at fair market value in the event of theft, fire, flood or malicious act.

5.2 If We can't supply the Services because You have prevented Us (for example by causing delay, or by not doing something You were supposed to do), We can stop supplying the services until You have put the matter right (at your own cost). In this case, You will also pay Us for any costs or losses You have caused Us, and We will not be responsible for any costs or losses caused to You.

6.Our Charges

6.1 We will charge You for our time and materials at our standard rates. (these are set out in our acceptance of your Order).

6.2 We can charge You 100% of our standerd rate for any overtime that We work, calculated proportionately for any part of a day.

6.3 We can also charge You for any reasonable expenses that We incur in supplying the Services (for example, travel, subsistence, accommodation, materials, and the cost of services supplied by others).

6.4 We can increase our standard rate, but We will not do this more than once every 6 months. We will send You a Notice of the increase. If You disagree with it, You must send Us a Notice within 2 weeks of the date of our Notice. We will then be able to end the contract by giving You 2 weeks' Notice.

6.5 We will add VAT to our invoices.

6.6 We will invoice You [EITHER when We finish the Services OR weekly/monthly at the end of that week/month], and You will pay Us in full within 30 days of the invoice date. Time of payment is critical to Us so We can end this Agreement if You don't do that.

6.7 If You fail to pay on time, We may charge You interest at 25% per year above NatWest Banks's base rate from time to time from the due date until You pay Us, and this rate applies before or after any court judgment in our favour on the debt. The interest will be earned daily and You must pay it all with the overdue amount.

6.8 You are not allowed to hold back any payment due to Us as a set-off or credit or counterclaim in relation to money which You think We owe to You unless the law allows it. However, We may set off any amount You owe Us against any amount We owe You.

7.Intellectual Property

7.1 We own all intellectual property rights arising from our Services.

7.2 Your use of intellectual property rights owned by someone else depends upon Us getting a licence from the owner for You to use those rights.

8.Confidentiality

But otherwise, any warranties or terms which are implied into this contract by any piece of law are excluded.
