“Goods” means any goods or materials to be purchased by Avalle from the Supplier pursuant to an Order.
“Order” means any order relating to any Works issued by Avalle to the Supplier.
“Services” means any works and/or services to be performed by the Supplier for Avalle pursuant to an Order.
“Supplier” means the company, firm, body, or person to whom the Order is addressed. “Works” means Goods and/or Services (as appropriate).
1.2 The words “agreed in writing” will mean agreed in writing and signed by a director of Avalle.

2 APPLICATION OF TERMS

2.1 (Subject to clause 2.4) these Conditions are the only conditions on which Avalle is prepared to deal with the Supplier and they will govern the Contract and all Avalle’s future purchases from the Supplier.
2.2 No terms, conditions or warranties endorsed upon, delivered with, referred to or stipulated or contained in any quotation or other similar document delivered or sent by the Supplier to Avalle will form part of the Contract.
2.3 Any reference in the Order to the Supplier’s quotation or other similar document will not be deemed to imply that any terms, conditions or warranties endorsed upon, delivered with, referred to or stipulated or contained in such quotation or other similar document will have effect to the exclusion or amendment of these Conditions.
2.4 No variation to, waiver of or addition to these Conditions will have any effect unless expressly agreed in writing and contains a specific reference to these Conditions.
2.5 The Supplier will be deemed to have accepted these Conditions if the Supplier supplies any Works to Avalle or otherwise acts in accordance with the Order.

3 DELIVERY

3.1 (Subject to clause 3.3) the Supplier will deliver the Works to Avalle and the date for the delivery of the Works will be specified in the Order or (if no such date is specified) delivery of the Works will take place within 28 days of the date of issue of the Order and time will be of the essence of the Contract. Unless otherwise agreed in writing Avalle is not obliged to accept the delivery of any Works otherwise than on the due delivery date. The Supplier will promptly notify Avalle of any anticipated delay in the delivery of the Works.
3.2 (Subject to clause 3.3) the Supplier will deliver the Works to the address specified in the Order or to such other place of delivery as is notified by Avalle to the Supplier in writing. The Supplier will arrange for the carriage of the Works to the place of delivery and delivery to any carrier will not be deemed to be delivery to Avalle (for the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise agreed, any such carrier will be deemed to be an agent of the Supplier and not of Avalle). Delivery will be completed when the Works have been unloaded at the place of delivery and signed for by a duly authorised officer of Avalle.

The Supplier will ensure that the Works are available for collection from the date specified in the Order or (if no such date is specified) within 28 days of the date of issue of the Order and time will be of the essence of the Contract. The Supplier will notify Avalle when the Works are ready for collection and Avalle will use its reasonable endeavours to collect the Works within the times agreed or if no time is agreed collection will take place within a reasonable time and the time for the collection of the Works by Avalle will not be of the essence of the Contract. Collection will be completed when the Works have been loaded onto Avalle’s nominated transport at the place of collection and signed for by a duly authorised officer or nominated representative of Avalle.

3.6 The packaging of the Works must be in accordance with normal industry standards and (save where otherwise agreed) must bear the description and quantity of the contents and Avalle’s Order number. All palletised Works must have protective wrap round the pallet covered with shrink wrap.
3.7 If the Supplier does not comply with the provisions of the clauses 3.5 or 3.6 Avalle may reject the Works.
3.8 If the Goods have a life expectancy of a fixed duration or if there are any circumstances known to the Supplier which would adversely affect the life span of the Goods the Supplier will promptly advise Avalle in writing of all such necessary and appropriate information relating to the Goods and this will form part of the description of the Goods.
3.9 The Supplier will ensure (at its own cost) that all Works are properly packed in a manner suitable for transit and storage. The Supplier will also ensure that individual packages are packed to comply with reasonable safety standards and to enable handling by mechanical means.
3.10 The Supplier will not make and Avalle will not accept any charge whatsoever for any packing, packaging or containers of any description supplied with the Works.
3.11 If (for any reason) Avalle is unable to take delivery or make collection (as appropriate) of the Goods and/or is unable to take delivery of the performance of the Services on the due delivery or collection (as appropriate) date the Supplier will store or arrange for the storage of the Goods for a reasonable time (at Avalle’s reasonable expense), will arrange for the re-performance of the Services and will safeguard the Works and take all reasonable steps to prevent their deterioration until actual delivery or collection (as appropriate).
3.12 Unless otherwise agreed in writing Avalle will not be responsible for any Works provided in excess of the Order and any excess will be and will remain at the Supplier’s risk.
3.13 Avalle will not be responsible for any failure to give notice to any carrier of any loss, damage, delay, detention or non-delivery.
3.14 The Supplier agrees to supply to Avalle (on request) any and all necessary declarations and documents relating to the Works.

4 RISK AND OWNERSHIP

4.1 The Goods will remain at the risk of the Supplier until delivery is completed in accordance with clause 3.2 or until collection is completed in accordance with clause 3.3 (as appropriate).
4.2 Notwithstanding clause 4.1 ownership in the Goods will pass to Avalle on payment or when delivery is completed in accordance with clause 3.2 or when collection is completed in accordance with clause 3.3 (as appropriate) (whichever is the earlier) (without prejudice to any right of rejection or other right which may accrue or have accrued to Avalle).

5 PRICE AND PAYMENT

5.1 The price for the Works will be stated in the Order and (unless otherwise agreed in writing) will be fixed for the duration of the Contract and will be exclusive of value added tax but inclusive of all other charges (including but not limited to charges for packaging, delivery and insurance requested by Avalle).
5.2 The Supplier may invoice Avalle for the Works at any time after the delivery or collection (as appropriate) of the Works. Invoices must show Avalle’s order number, delivery or collection (as appropriate) number, the date and number of any relevant delivery schedule and such other sufficiently detailed description as may be necessary to enable the Works to be identified.
5.3 Where the invoice includes any charge for value added tax the invoice must be in the form as laid down from time to time by HM Customs and Excise.
5.4 Avalle will use reasonable endeavours to pay the price for the Works within 30 days of the end of the month in which Avalle receives a valid invoice but time for payment will not be of the essence of the Contract.
5.5 All payments will be made by Avalle without prejudice to Avalle’s rights should the Works prove unsatisfactory.
5.6 Any failure by the Supplier to comply with the instructions set out in the Contract may delay payment.
5.7 Avalle may (but will not be obliged to) at any time or times without notice to the Supplier set off any liability of Avalle to Supplier against any liability of Supplier to Avalle (in either case howsoever arising and whether such liability is present, future, liquidated or unliquidated). Avalle and Supplier agree that in exercising this right to set off, Avalle shall be doing no more than discharging its own liability by the application of its own asset. Any exercise by Avalle of its rights under these Conditions will be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to Avalle under these Conditions or otherwise.

6 CHANGES IN SPECIFICATION ETC

Avalle may at any time make written changes to the Contract including but not limited to changes in the designs, compositions, specifications, method of shipment, quantities, packaging or time or place of delivery or collection (as appropriate). If any such change results in any increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required for, the performance of the Contract an equitable adjustment will be made to the price, delivery or collection (as appropriate) date or both unless such changes are envisaged by the parties at the time the Contract was entered into. Any claim or adjustment by the Supplier must be approved by Avalle in writing before the Supplier proceeds with such a change. For the avoidance of doubt nothing in this clause 6 will relieve the Supplier from the obligation of proceeding without delay in the performance of the Contract.

7 QUALITY
