Prices
Prices for Supplies are in £ sterling, exclusive of VAT, which will be added at the time of despatch. The Company reserves the right to change its prices without notice at any time. Prices charged will be those prevailing when an order is accepted. Where Supplies are to be made in instalments ('Scheduled Delivery') the price payable for them will be that applicable at the time of acceptance for the total quantity ordered but, where Scheduled Delivery may continue for a period of 60 days or more, the Company reserves the right to charge the Customer further amounts if the price of the Supplies increases before the end of that period.

Payment
Payment is due not later than the end of the month following the month of despatch, without any deductions, withholding or set off. Time for payment is of the essence. If the Customer fails to make payment by the due date then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, the Company shall be entitled to:
i. cancel the order or suspend any further deliveries or performance;
ii. appropriate any payment made by the Customer to such of the Supplies (or the Supplies made under any other contract) as the Company may think fit; and
iii. charge interest (both before and after any judgement) on the amount unpaid in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 until payment is made in full.
The Company reserves the right to charge for copy invoices or credit notes at the rate of £1.00 per copy where the original has been lost or misplaced by the Customer. If legal action is taken to recover monies due to the Company then the Company reserves the right to charge the Customer statutory compensation in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts Regulations 2002. The statutory compensation shall become payable immediately that legal action is commenced, whether demanded or not and may be claimed within the legal action.

New accounts
A Customer wishing to open a credit account must furnish such information as may be requested by the Company and the Company may make a search with a credit reference agency. The Company reserves the right in its absolute discretion to grant, refuse or discontinue any credit facilities or reduce or suspend any credit limit at any time.

Orders
The Company reserves the right to decline to trade with any company or person.
To avoid duplication, written confirmation of telephone orders must be clearly marked 'Confirmation only'. The Company will not accept liability for orders not so marked and duplicate orders will be charged accordingly.
Once accepted, no order may be cancelled without the prior written agreement of a director of the Company.
Orders for Goods are accepted by the Company by despatching the Goods.

Delivery
The Company will use all reasonable endeavours to despatch Goods ordered before 3 p.m. Monday to Friday on the same day. Such deliveries are usually offered free of charge but may be subject to the handling charge. The Company reserves the right to levy a delivery and/or handling charge in the amount notified to the Customer prior to despatch for delivery of heavy or bulky items.

Delivery will be made to the address specified by the Customer.
The Company may use any method of delivery available to it. The Company will use reasonable endeavours to meet delivery and/or performance estimates but, except as set out below, in no circumstances shall it be liable to compensate the Customer for non-delivery, non-performance or late delivery or performance. Time for delivery and/or performance will not be of the essence.

Inspection, defects and non delivery
The Customer must inspect the Supplies as soon as is reasonably practicable after delivery or, in the case of Services, performance and, except as set out in the Warranty/Guarantee below, the Company shall not be liable for any defect in the Supplies unless written notice is given to the Company within 10 days of such date.
The quantity of any consignment of Goods, as recorded by the Company upon despatch from the Company's place of business, shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity received by the Customer on delivery, unless the Customer can provide conclusive evidence to the contrary. The Company will not be liable for any non-delivery of Goods or non-performance of Services unless written notice is given to the Company within 5 days of the date when Goods should have been delivered or the Services performed in the ordinary course of events. Any liability of the Company for non-delivery or non performance or for Goods notified as defective on delivery or Services notified as defective following performance in accordance with this Condition (Inspection, defects and non delivery) will be limited to replacing the Goods or re-performing the Services within a reasonable time or to refunding the price then paid in respect of such Supplies.

Returns
Except as detailed in the Condition below (Distance selling regulations), no order can be cancelled or accepted for credit without the prior written agreement of the Company. If cancellation/credit is accepted by the Company, the Customer must obtain a returns authorisation number from the Company prior to returning the Goods. Goods must then be returned, at the Customer's risk and expense, for receipt by the Company within 7 days of their delivery by the Company and must be undamaged, in re-saleable condition and in original packaging (which shall include any of the Company's outer packaging). The Customer should return the Goods to "The Returns Department, EMS Ltd Sentinel House, 11 High Street Long Buckby, Northants NN6 7RE" quoting the Customer's account number and order number. The Customer is responsible for returning Goods to the Company and for providing proof of delivery of such return.
Goods returned after 7 days as 'unwanted' or 'incorrectly ordered' may be accepted at the discretion of the Company but will be subject to a restocking fee of 30% of the invoice value of the Goods.

Distance selling regulations
If the Customer is buying as a 'consumer', as defined in The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, the Customer may, provided he or she has taken reasonable care of the Goods and returns the Goods complete, undamaged, in re-saleable condition and in their original packaging (including the Company's outer packaging), return the Goods and be repaid the price paid in respect of them within 7 working days (excluding Saturday and Sunday and any UK Bank Holiday) of their delivery.

Description
All specifications, drawings, illustrations, descriptions and particulars of weights, dimensions, capacity or other details contained on this web site are intended to give a general idea of the Supplies, but will not form part of the Contract. If the description of any Goods differs from the manufacturer's description, the latter shall be deemed to be correct. The Company shall take all reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of details relating to Supplies, but accepts no liability in contract or tort or under statute or otherwise for any error or omission in such detail whether caused by the Company's negligence or otherwise. The Company may make changes to the Supplies as part of a continuous programme of improvement or to comply with legislation.

Risk and ownership
The risk of damage to or loss of Goods will pass to the Customer when the Goods are unloaded from the Company's carriers (or recieved postal service) at the Customer's premises. Ownership of the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the Company has received in full (in cash or cleared funds) all sums due in respect of the Goods. Until ownership passes to the Customer, the Customer must hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as the Company's bailee. If payment is not received in full by the due date, or the Customer passes a resolution for winding up or a court shall make an order to that effect, or a receiver is appointed over any assets or the undertaking of the Customer or an execution or distress is levied against the Customer, the Company shall be entitled, without previous notice, to retake possession of the Goods and for that purpose to enter upon any premises occupied or owned by the Customer.

Performance and fitness for purpose
Unless any performance figures, tolerances or characteristics have been specifically and expressly warranted by a director of the Company in writing, the Company accepts no liability for any failure of the Supplies to comply with such criteria, whether attributable to the Company's negligence or otherwise. The responsibility for ensuring that Supplies are sufficient and suitable for a particular purpose is the Customer's, unless specifically stated in writing by a director of the Company. Any advice or recommendation given by an employee of the Company which is not confirmed in writing by a director of the Company is acted on entirely at the Customer's risk and the Company shall not be liable for any such advice or recommendation which is not so confirmed. Except as set out in the Liability Condition below, the liability of the Company to the Customer, should any warranty, statement, advice or recommendation confirmed in accordance with this Condition prove to be incorrect, inaccurate or misleading, will be limited to the refund of the price paid for the Supplies or, at the Company's option, the supply of replacement Supplies which are sufficient and suitable.

Warranty/Guarantee
The Company will endeavour to transfer to the Customer the benefit of any warranty or guarantee given by the manufacturer of Goods.

It is the Customer's responsibility to check at the time of purchase as to the applicability of the Company's guarantee and/or the terms of any manufacturer's guarantee. Where the Company's guarantee is provided, the Company will, free of charge, repair or, at the Company's option, replace Goods or, in the case of Services, re-perform Services which are proved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company to be damaged or defective due to faulty materials, workmanship or design.
