2.1 These Conditions set out the general terms that will apply to the Contract. These Conditions and each Order together constitute the Contract. The Order will set out the details of the Goods to be provided by the Supplier to the Customer. These Conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.

2.2 Each Order shall be deemed to be a separate offer by the Customer to buy Goods on the terms of this agreement, which the Supplier shall be free to accept or decline at its absolute discretion. No Order shall be deemed to be accepted by the Supplier except in accordance with clause 2.3.or (if earlier) the Supplier delivers the Order to the Customer. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order and any applicable Specification are complete and accurate.

2.3 The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when:

(a) the Supplier issues a written acceptance of the Order or part of the Order; or

(b) the Supplier provides verbal acceptance of the Order or part of the Order; at which point the Contract shall come into existence.

2.4 In the case of Orders placed online using the Supplier’s website, this acceptance will take place in accordance with clause 2.8(vi) below. The Contract will commence on the date the Order is accepted by the Supplier and shall continue unless terminated in accordance with these Conditions.

2.5 The Customer waives any right it might otherwise have to rely on any term endorsed upon, delivered with or contained in any documents of the Customer that is inconsistent with these Conditions.

2.6 Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter or advertising produced by the Supplier and any descriptions or illustrations contained in the Supplier's catalogues, brochures or on the Supplier’s website are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods referred to in them. They shall not form part of the Contract nor have any contractual force.

2.7 A price list for the Goods given by the Supplier shall not constitute an offer. Price lists may be updated and the prices in the price list shall only be valid for the current price list period.

2.8 To place an Order on the Supplier’s website the Customer must take the following steps:

(i) Add the goods that wish to be purchased to the shopping cart, and then proceed to the checkout.


(ii) Where the Customer is new, the Customer must obtain login details by applying for a wholesale account online.


(iii) Existing Customers, must enter their login details.


(iv) Once the Customer is logged in, they must confirm the Order and agreement to this Contract.


(v) In respect of payment being made by the Customer for online orders the Customer will either:


(A) pay at checkout using the various payment options available; or

(B) pay via bank transfer to RAM Commerce Ltd bank account; or

(vi) The Supplier will then send an initial acknowledgement to the Customer and once the Supplier has checked whether they can meet the Order will send the Customer:


(A) an Order confirmation (at which point the Order shall be deemed to have been accepted as per clause 2.3); or

(B) confirmation that the Supplier will be able to fulfil part of the Order (at which point the Order shall be deemed to have been accepted as per clause 2.3); or

3.2 The Supplier reserves the right to amend the specification of the Goods, without notice, if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

4.6 If the Customer fails to take delivery of the Goods within 3 (three) Business Days of the Supplier notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready, then, except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Supplier's failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract:

(a) delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the third Business Day after the day on which the Supplier notified the Customer that the Goods were ready; and
