1. Validity

1.1 This Agreement is the only form of contract between the Parties and any Customer terms and conditions will not apply unless expressly agreed in writing. By submitting an Order, the Customer agrees to apply the terms and conditions of this Agreement in priority over any other agreement between the Parties except previously agreed Copus-Group Credit Account terms and conditions which, where conflict arises, take precedence over this Agreement.

1.2 Any Order is subject to acceptance by Copus-Group. Copus-Group is not obliged to accept any Order or to justify refusal of the same. Receipt of payment for Goods by Copus-Group does not in itself constitute acceptance by Copus-Group of the Order.

1.3 Copus-Group may vary the terms and conditions of this Agreement from time to time by publishing new terms and conditions on the Copus-Group website or catalogue.

2. Goods being Sold

2.1 Descriptions and specifications for the Goods are set out on the Copus-Group website at the time of the Order or the Copus-Group catalogue from which the Order is placed provided the catalogue is current at the time of the Order.

2.2 Goods ordered in a specific colour, pattern or design are sold subject to stock availability and Copus-Group may substitute the Goods with newer items or items of comparable or better quality, alternative colour, pattern or design with the Customer’s approval.

2.3 If any Goods are unavailable or out of stock then Copus-Group may cancel the Order in whole or in part and refund any monies paid or issue a credit note. Alternatively, Copus-Group may vary the Order with the Customer’s approval.

2.4 Customers placing Orders for age-restricted goods such as solvents and knives confirm that they are over 18 years of age and that delivery will be accepted by a person over 18 years of age.

3. Terms of Payment and Payment Methods

3.1 The Goods shall be payable at the prices listed on the Copus-Group website at the time of the Order. Pricing in the Copus-Group catalogue is indicative only. Copus-Group reserves the right to update prices at any time. In the event of any conflict between prices for the Goods on the Copus-Group website or catalogue, the pricing on the Copus-Group website will prevail. A delivery and/or insurance charge may be payable in addition to the price of the Goods. All prices are quoted in British Pound Sterling.

3.2 Unless otherwise stated, all prices quoted exclude Value Added Tax (“VAT”). Any such VAT shall be charged in accordance with the relevant regulations in force at the time of the Order.

3.3 Occasionally an error may cause the price/description published or advertised for Goods to be incorrect, in which case Copus-Group shall be under no obligation to honour the incorrect price or Order.

3.4 Payment for Goods and Delivery may be made by any of the options listed on the Copus-Group website or catalogue. Copus-Group reserves the right to withhold or refuse further shipments of Goods until all overdue accounts are settled. Any payments returned unpaid by a bank will be subject to an administration fee of £25.00.

3.6 All Orders may be subject to further credit or security checks.

4.3 Copus-Group reserves the right to suspend or terminate performance of this Agreement where delivery or supply of the Goods and/or performance of this Agreement is affected by reasons out of Copus-Group’s reasonable control such as force majeure, act of God, adverse weather and government intervention, sanction or legislation.

4.4 Copus-Group reserves the right to cancel any Order where it is reasonably suspected that the Customer is not legally permitted to purchase any Goods specified in the Order (such as solvents and knives).

5.1 The Customer agrees that Copus-Group will not be liable for any losses or damage suffered by the Customer including but not limited to damage to neighbouring or connected items or premises, consequential loss, loss of business, business interruption or loss of time due to the use or purchase of the Goods by the Customer. Copus-Group will not be liable for any additional damage caused by the Customer’s failure to report a fault or defect in good time or failure to provide reasonable access to the Goods for repairs, service or engineer visits. Nothing in this Agreement shall exclude Copus-Group’s statutory liability for injury or death.
