CUSTOM GYMS LTD Terms & Conditions of Sale(January 2018)
GENERAL
Any contract entered into by CUSTOM GYMS LTD for the supply of goods and services is subject to these conditions. No other terms or conditions (including any written on or attached to any purchase order form, document or correspondence) shall be included or implied unless previously agreed in writing and signed by an authorised officer of CUSTOM GYMS LTD. No purported variation of the terms will be effective unless confirmed in writing by CUSTOM GYMS LTD and in no event will any customer’s standard terms and conditions of business apply.
No liability shall be attached to CUSTOM GYMS LTD, its agents or employees in respect of any representations or statements made, whether before or after agreement is reached, unless confirmed in writing by CUSTOM GYMS LTD. All samples, drawings, descriptive matter, specifications and advertising issued by CUSTOM GYMS LTD and any descriptions or illustrations contained in CUSTOM GYMS LTD's catalogues or brochures are issued for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the goods described in them. They shall not form part of any contract, and no contract will be a sale by sample.
In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between these terms and conditions of sale and the terms of your order, these terms and conditions prevail, unless otherwise agreed by CUSTOM GYMS LTD in writing.
Telephone orders must be confirmed in writing. CUSTOM GYMS LTD accepts no responsibility for inaccuracies of orders given by telephone.
ORDER ACCEPTANCE
No order shall be deemed accepted by CUSTOM GYMS LTD unless received in writing and/or until receipt of CUSTOM GYMS LTD’s official Signed Equipment Proposal. Once CUSTOM GYMS LTD has notified the customer of acceptance of the written order by dispatch of the Confirmation Order the contract between CUSTOM GYMS LTD and the customer shall be deemed to be made.
Any quotation issued by CUSTOM GYMS LTD shall be open for acceptance for a period of 14 days from the date of the quotation provided that it has not previously been withdrawn. After expiration of the acceptance period or withdrawal, the quotation must be reconfirmed in writing by CUSTOM GYMS LTD and may be subject to change.
Any quotation is made on the understanding that it may be accepted in full and not in part. In the event of purported partial acceptance of the quotation by the customer a written revised quotation may be sent by CUSTOM GYMS LTD to the customer.
PRICE
Goods will be invoiced in accordance with the price stated on the Signed Equipment Proposal
The price does not include delivery and installation unless this is stated separately on the Confirmation Order.
Prices are exclusive of VAT.
The customer covenants that all information provided to CUSTOM GYMS LTD by the customer is full, complete, accurate and not misleading. In the event that information provided by the customer does not comply with this covenant CUSTOM GYMS LTD may adjust the Price.
PAYMENT
Unless otherwise agreed in writing prior to the order being placed by the customer, payment terms are 45% non-refundable deposit to be paid at the time of the order being placed, with the balance being due one day prior to the date of installation, payable by electronic transfer or bank draft.

Following the delivery of any incomplete order (i.e. not all the equipment ordered is delivered), full payment is due for all of the items received. CUSTOM GYMS LTD will not invoice any items undelivered unless requested by the customer.
If the customer fails to make any payment when due this will be deemed a material breach of contract and CUSTOM GYMS LTD may, at its sole option and without incurring any liability, suspend its performance until such time as the overdue payment is made or the customer has provided assurances acceptable to CUSTOM GYMS LTD that the overdue payments will be made. In the event of any such suspension of performance CUSTOM GYMS LTD shall be entitled to make an adjustment to the delivery schedule and Price to reflect the delay and costs caused by the suspension.
In the event of non-payment by the customer under any contract, CUSTOM GYMS LTD may appropriate any payment made by the customer to goods supplied under any other contract.
CANCELLATION
The customer has no right to cancel any order after dispatch of the Confirmation Order except with the written agreement of CUSTOM GYMS LTD. Without prejudice to any other right or remedies, CUSTOM GYMS LTD will have the right to charge a cancellation fee to cover all costs, expenses and/or losses arising as a result of any cancellation. This clause does not affect the customer’s rights arising out of any breach by CUSTOM GYMS LTD.
DELIVERY

1 store the goods or arrange for them to be stored until they can be delivered to the customer, in which case the customer shall pay to CUSTOM GYMS LTD all reasonable costs of storing the goods, and all costs involved in insuring the goods against loss or damage whilst stored; and/or

WARRANTY TERMS
CUSTOM GYMS LTD warrants that on delivery all goods will substantially conform to the specifications agreed in writing, be of satisfactory quality, and be new and be free from material damage, and that all services will be provided with reasonable care and skill. Where CUSTOM GYMS LTD gives a written warranty with respect to any parts for any stated period, CUSTOM GYMS LTD warrants that those parts will continue to function safely and not break or wear out for that stated warranty period under normal usage and wear and tear and any other warranty express or implied as to the quality of those parts shall not apply. Where CUSTOM GYMS LTD gives a written warranty with respect to any labour in any contract documents for any stated period, CUSTOM GYMS LTD agrees that where any repairs or replacement of parts are required as a result of a breach of any warranty in relation to the goods, CUSTOM GYMS LTD will not charge for any work involved in carrying out any such repairs or replacements. Where any warranty period is given, unless otherwise stated in the contract documents, such warranty period will run from the date on which the goods or services are first delivered. The warranty period for any replacement parts or repair work will run for no longer than the warranty period for the goods to which that part is fitted or repair work is carried out.
CUSTOM GYMS LTD shall have no obligation to support any goods, whether by spare parts or repairs following the end of the warranty period stated for such goods, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing with the customer.
CUSTOM GYMS LTD shall not be liable for any claim under a warranty: (i) notified to CUSTOM GYMS LTD later than 14 days after the customer becomes or ought reasonably to have become aware of the circumstances giving rise to the claim; (ii) if the goods have not been stored, installed or operated in accordance with accepted industrial practice and/or any specific instructions; (iii) the goods have been subjected to any accident, misapplication, environmental contaminant, corrosion, abuse or misuse; (iv) the customer has used, repaired or modified the goods after discovery of the defect without CUSTOM GYMS LTD's specific written consent; (v) the customer refuses to permit CUSTOM GYMS LTD to examine the goods to determine the nature of the alleged defect; or (vi) the customer fails to meet any of its obligation under these conditions.
When reporting a claim under warranty, the customer shall provide full details of the claim. The customer shall allow CUSTOM GYMS LTD a reasonable opportunity to inspect any goods subject to a claim under a warranty and the customer shall at CUSTOM GYMS LTD’s request take the goods out of use and hold them ready for inspection. The customer shall give CUSTOM GYMS LTD a reasonable opportunity to correct any breach of warranty and in rectifying any breach CUSTOM GYMS LTD may repair or replace any goods or re-perform any services. This shall be CUSTOM GYMS LTD’s only liability under a warranty. Where a part is reasonably able to be fitted by the customer, that part will be sent to the customer and the customer will be responsible for fitting the part. Unless a warranty as to labour is expressly given in the contract documents, the customer shall pay an additional charge for all labour involved in repairing any goods or replacing any parts arising out of a claim under a warranty, including travel to any premises where the goods are located. The customer shall be responsible for carrying out and for the cost of opening up, dismantling, demolishing and / or reinstatement of any premises or structure required to enable CUSTOM GYMS LTD to repair any goods or replace any parts on any goods. If CUSTOM GYMS LTD disputes the breach of warranty, CUSTOM GYMS LTD may elect to correct the alleged breach of warranty and may make an additional charge for this work. CUSTOM GYMS LTD will refund any such charge if it is subsequently agreed or determined to be a breach. If CUSTOM GYMS LTD carries out any inspection, investigation or rectification work in relation to a claimed breach of warranty, and it is later found not to have been a breach of warranty, the customer shall pay CUSTOM GYMS LTD an additional charge for all such work including the cost of all persons sent out to inspect the goods or carry our any work and parts supplied.
CUSTOM GYMS LTD shall not be liable under any warranty in respect of any matter, circumstance, malfunction, fault or damage: (i) resulting from or constituting normal deterioration or wear and tear; (ii) resulting from modifications, alterations or additions, maintenance or repairs to the goods made by any person other than CUSTOM GYMS LTD or an appointed agent (iii) resulting from misuse of the goods or failure to handle, store, site, install, use, treat, maintain and repair the goods in accordance with the guidelines provided by CUSTOM GYMS LTD; (iv) arising when the customer could have taken reasonable steps to prevent further damage; or (v) arising from any other cause whatever other than the default or negligence of CUSTOM GYMS LTD.
All warranties given in respect of the goods will automatically become void if: (i) the customer moves the goods to any other premises; or (ii) any modifications, repairs or replacements of parts are carried out to the goods by any person other than CUSTOM GYMS LTD or an appointed agent (iii) the customer fails to maintain the goods as required by CUSTOM GYMS LTD or to provide when requested complete written records of such maintenance. CUSTOM GYMS LTD will not unreasonably withhold its consent to the goods being subject to the warranty again, providing that the customer pays an additional charge for a CUSTOM GYMS LTD preventative maintenance visit to inspect the state of the goods, and for correction of any third party work which is, in the opinion of CUSTOM GYMS LTD, defective. However CUSTOM GYMS LTD will not assume liability for materials, workmanship, transportation charges, labour costs or other related expenses for any work carried out by any third party not approved in writing by CUSTOM GYMS LTD.
