Save where credit terms have been agreed in writing in advance, payment is due when the order is placed with the Company 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;

III. Charge interest (both before and after any judgment) on the amount unpaid at the rate of 18% per annum above the base rate from time to time of HDFC Bank Ltd. until payment is made in full.
If legal action is taken to recover monies due to the Company then the Company reserves the right to charge the Customer an administration fee to cover all and any costs incurred.

The Company reserves the right to accept or reject any request or offer to trade with any company or person, without providing any reason. Although enquiries may be made by phone, all orders must be placed in writing, including by email or fax. Once accepted, no order may be cancelled without the prior written agreement of a director of the Company. Without limiting the generality of this, orders for Goods which are not in catalogue, non stock items and items specified to be non-cancelable or non-returnable at the time of quotation may not be cancelled. Orders for Goods are usually accepted by the Company by the dispatch of the Goods from the warehouse of its associated company. However, that dispatch will not be acceptance where the price for the Supplies has been incorrectly quoted or referenced by the Customer in its order.

Delivery will be made to the address specified by the Customer. The Company may use any method of delivery available to it. All delivery dates and times given are estimates.

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. The Company reserves the right to delay dispatch for a number of reasons, including to perform any necessary credit checks or procedures or to ensure that payment has been received in cleared funds in full. Where dispatch is delayed for such reasons the Company will use reasonable endeavors to inform the Customer.

6. Returns

Only defective material or defective goods are returnable, otherwise no goods are returnable. Customer needs to send a detailed report of the defect with photographic evidence in case of defects.

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 from the Customer to the Company on any account whatsoever. Until ownership passes to the Customer, the Customer must hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as the Company’s bail. 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 or administrator 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.
