1. Acceptance

1. These terms and conditions apply between MAHECO Steel Industries (the Company) and you upon your acceptance of the Company’s quotation and are binding thereupon (subject to the exception in paragraph 7). If a quotation is not supplied then you are taken to have agreed these terms and conditions in any event upon instructing the company to carry out work on your behalf.

2. It shall be your sole responsibility to obtain the necessary consents of any person, company body or authority who may have an interest in the premises where the goods are to be installed or who control or have regulatory power in respect thereof. In the event of your failure to do so you will be liable to pay to the Company any loss arising from breach of your responsibility and to indemnify the Company against all claims and demands by third parties and liabilities in respect thereof.

3. While the Company intends so far as possible to carry out its obligations under the contract pursuant to these terms and conditions through its own servants or agents it reserves the right to employ sub contractors where necessary to do so.

2. Specification

1. The Company will make up the goods in accordance with such specification as is agreed with you. In the event that no written specification is agreed the company’s notes of your instructions will be conclusive as to what the Company is required to carry out.

2. The Company reserves the right to make such necessary changes to the specification or notes as are necessary to ensure best manufacturing practice and good functionality.

3. Cancellation

There is no right to cancel. If for any reason the contract cannot be completed (save in the event of default by the Company) and in particular if either party becomes insolvent, before the goods are delivered, the Company shall be entitled to the quoted price of any of the goods completed in accordance with the order, (whether invoiced or not) and to fair compensation for work in progress or in respect of which materials have been ordered, and for loss of profit on uncompleted parts of the order. Your statutory rights are preserved.

4. Delivery

If a delivery time is stated by the Company at any time delivery time is not of the essence or guaranteed. If the delivery time is not met, you have no right to cancel the order, to refuse payment, or to compensation for late delivery. The Company is entitled to the price when the goods (all or part of an order) are ready for delivery. If you put off or refuse delivery, the Company is entitled to the price, and to charge for storage or redelivery. The Company is entitled, but not obliged, to dispose of the goods after one month from offering delivery. In that event you remain liable for the price, less any net recovery on disposal. Any damages must be signed for as damaged and notified to the Company within 3 days of receipt of the goods. Signing as 'not checked' will not suffice if the goods are damaged. Failure to notify the Company within this time period will mean the Company will not be liable for the damage.

Please note that leading up to Christmas is can be a very busy time so there can be problems with couriers which may cause delays with your collection or delivery. Please don't leave ordering to the last minute.
