  7.        Returns:  It is our general policy not to accept the return of goods.  In exceptional circumstances, standard products may be returned to us within 14 days of the date of delivery provided that the customer has written agreement from the Company to such a return.  Returns after this time will not be accepted.  Goods are to be returned at the customer’s expense to the original source of supply as specified by the Company and a re-stocking charge of 35% will be made for goods that are of merchantable quality as determined by the Company.  Not all goods may be accepted back into stock for credit. 

  8.        Faults:  Goods represented by the customer to be defective shall not form the subject of any claim for work done by the customer or for any loss, damage, or expense whatsoever arising directly or indirectly from such defects, but such goods, if returned to the Company and accepted by them as defective, will at the request of the customer and if practicable be replaced as originally ordered.  Defects in quality or dimensions in any delivery shall not be a ground for cancellation of the remainder of the order or contract.  All materials must be examined as no claim can be entertained after the goods have been cut, marked, used, or cleaned.

12.    Risk and Retention of Title:  Risk in the products supplied shall pass to the customer when the Company provides the products to the Company carrier delivery to the customer, or where applicable when the customer or its nominated carrier collected the products from The Company’s premises.  Save where the products are collected by the customer or its nominated carrier, the Company will ensure that the products are insured to their replacement value against loss or damage while in transit with the Company.  The Legal and Beneficial Ownership shall remain with the Company until payment of all debts arising from the transaction has been cleared.  This may include any debt balance on current accounts held by the buyer with the company.  If the said payment is overdue in part or in whole, the Company may recover or re-sell the goods or any part of the goods.  The Company agents may enter the customer’s premises for that purpose.

13.    Legal Costs:  If the Company has to take legal action to recover a debt, the cost of such action, if successful, will be borne by the debtor.
