No variation from these terms and conditions shall apply unless agreed in Writing by the parties to the Contract. Any acceptance by the customer of the goods shall be deemed to be an acceptance that these terms and conditions are incorporated into the Contract to the exclusion of all others.
A quotation is not an offer and may be withdrawn at any time without notice. No quotation shall be valid for longer than 30 days from the date thereof unless expressly stated in writing by the Company at the time of submitting its quotation. The Company may at any time refuse to accept any order placed as a result of any quotation.
No order is deemed to be accepted nor any Contract made with the Company until an acknowledgement of such order or Contract in Writing has been made by the Company to the Customer and the right is reserved without prejudice to any other remedy to cancel any uncompleted order or to suspend delivery on the failure of any of the Customer’s commitments with the Company. Upon such cancellation or suspension by the Company or in the event of cancellation by the Customer the Company shall on demand be indemnified by the Customer against any loss or damage resulting there from.
Prices quoted by the Company may be subject to increase or cover any variation in the cost of materials, labour, transport, maintenance of machinery or any other cost to the Company of supplying the goods, including expenses incurred by reason of delay arising from the Customer’s instructions or lack thereof.

Unless otherwise specified the Goods must be unloaded by the Customer immediately on arrival at the specified destination. The Customer is responsible for any loss, damage or injury incurred by any person or to any property in the course of unloading the Goods.
