These terms and conditions govern the sale of goods by Lowe Stillages & Cages (“we”, “us”, “our”) to business customers. They apply to all quotations, orders and contracts unless we have agreed otherwise in writing.
These terms apply to the exclusion of any other terms that you seek to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing. They are intended for business-to-business sales; if you are purchasing as a consumer, different statutory rights may apply.
A quotation is an invitation to place an order and does not constitute a binding offer. Unless stated otherwise, a quotation is valid for 30 days from its date and may be withdrawn or revised before you place an order. Your order constitutes an offer to purchase the goods on these terms. A binding contract is formed only when we accept your order in writing (including by email) or, if earlier, when we begin manufacture or dispatch of the goods.
Prices are those set out in our written quotation or order confirmation. Unless stated otherwise, prices are exclusive of VAT, which will be charged at the applicable rate, and exclusive of delivery, offloading and any special packaging, which will be quoted separately. We may correct any manifest pricing errors before the contract is formed.
Unless we have agreed credit terms with you in writing, payment is due before dispatch. Where credit terms apply, payment is due within the period stated on our invoice. Orders are invoiced directly by our team; no payment is taken through this website.
We may require a deposit or full payment in advance for bespoke or made-to-order goods. Time for payment is of the essence. We reserve the right to charge interest and reasonable recovery costs on overdue accounts as permitted by law, and to suspend further work or delivery while any sum remains outstanding.
Many of our products are engineered and manufactured to your specification. Because such goods are produced specifically for you and cannot readily be resold, once your order for bespoke or made-to-order goods has been accepted and manufacture has commenced it cannot be cancelled, varied or returned except where the goods are faulty or not as described. Any change you request after production has started is subject to our agreement and may affect price and lead time.
Delivery dates are estimates given in good faith and are not guaranteed unless we have agreed a firm date in writing. We are not liable for delays caused by matters beyond our reasonable control. Delivery, offloading and inspection arrangements are described in our Delivery & Returns information.
Risk in the goods passes to you on delivery. Legal title to the goods does not pass to you until we have received payment in full of all sums due to us in respect of the goods and any other goods we have supplied to you.
We warrant that, on delivery, the goods will conform to their specification and be free from material defects in materials and workmanship. Our products are engineered and load-tested and are UKCA-certified where applicable. This warranty does not cover fair wear and tear, misuse, overloading beyond the stated capacity, accidental damage, corrosion arising from unsuitable environments, or any alteration or repair carried out without our written consent.
If goods do not conform, and you notify us promptly, we will at our option repair or replace the affected goods, or refund their price. This is your sole remedy for defective goods.
Nothing in these terms limits or excludes our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.
Subject to that, and as this is a business-to-business contract: we are not liable for any loss of profit, loss of business, loss of contracts, loss of anticipated savings, or any indirect or consequential loss; and our total liability arising under or in connection with a contract, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise, shall not exceed the price paid for the goods giving rise to the claim.
All designs, drawings, specifications, engineering data and other intellectual property created by or for us in connection with our products remain our property. Nothing in a contract transfers any such intellectual property to you, and you may not copy, reproduce or use our designs to have goods manufactured by a third party without our written consent.
We are not liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations where such failure or delay results from events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to supply shortages, industrial action, utility or transport failures and acts of government.
These terms and any contract formed under them are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or in connection with them.
