2.THE CONTRACT
These terms apply to business customers only. If you are a consumer, then please contact us separately. Quotations do not constitute an offer and may be withdrawn or modified at any time. A binding agreement between us for the supply of the Goods will only arise when we confirm your order in writing. We reserve the right to refuse any order. If any Goods are not available then we will seek your agreement to either substitute an item or remove that item from your order. Goods are only supplied on a sale or return basis if we have agreed to this in writing and any returned Goods must in our sole discretion be re-sellable at full list price by us. This does not include any software or bespoke items, any orders which cannot be cancelled once accepted by us. Where we have supplied software (which we will procure as your agent) then your use of that software will be subject to the terms of the licence that accompany or apply to that software. If any Goods are supplied pursuant to another agreement between you and us then that agreement shall take precedence over these Terms. These Terms shall not confer any rights on any third parties and accordingly the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 shall not apply to these Terms.

If you do not accept this then you may cancel the order, otherwise it will be supplied as corrected. The cost of the Goods does not include the cost of delivery, which will be payable by you. Prices are exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise. The Fee’s for all agreed Services will be charged on a time and materials basis in accordance with the applicable Rate Card and incorporating any reasonably incurred expenses, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties.

Terms of payment shall be determined at our sole discretion. Payment is required on or before each delivery unless we have agreed in writing to give you credit or, where payment relates to the provision of services, which will be billed upon completion of any agreed Services unless otherwise agreed between the parties.

Where credit terms have been agreed or payment is to be made monthly in arrears, then payment shall be made within 30 days of the date of the invoice unless otherwise agreed between the parties.

However, Krome shall not be required to meet the specific requirements of the Customer unless they are agreed in writing by the parties.

Time shall not be of the essence unless expressly stated as such.

d)We reserve the right to deliver the Goods by instalments and to invoice you for each instalment of Goods delivered where, in our opinion, it is reasonable to do so.
