ASI TERMS OF TRADING
In these Terms, the ‘Company’ is ASI and the ‘Customer’ is any buyer of goods or services from ASI.
PRICES. Prices are liable to alteration without prior notice and are strictly net unless otherwise stated. The minimum invoice value is £8.00 plus VAT.
DELIVERY. Non-arrival; if any goods fail to arrive within 14 days from invoice date the Customer must notify the Company immediately by telephone, then in writing. Failure to do so absolves ASI of all responsibility.
CARRIAGE. The Company reserves the right to charge carriage on all invoices under the value of £400. 48-hour delivery is standard on most orders.
RETURNS. Goods may not be returned for credit to the Company without prior consent. Goods so returned may be liable to be returned to sender at the sender’s own expense. A charge may be levied on goods returned. A rectification charge will be made on goods returned in damaged condition.
WARRANTY. The Company is not liable for the Customer’s costs of returning goods under warranty.
SPECIFICATION. Modifications may be made, without prior notice, to our products or product range.
REPAIRS. No guarantee repair work may be carried out on any ASI product without consent from the Company. Unauthorised repairs invalidate guarantees.
ASI RIGHT TO SELL OR DISPOSE OF GOODS (ITEMS ENTRUSTED TO ASI FOR REPAIR, etc.). The Company requires non-account holding Customers to make cleared payment for all repairs prior to its release of Customer’s property previously entrusted to the Company. However, in the case of account Customers whose accounts are overdue in excess of 59 days and on giving the Customer a further 30 days notice, the Company is entitled to require the Customer to remove their goods from ASI care and control and to pay all monies due to the Company. Prior to such removal, in the event of the Customer failing to pay all outstanding debts due to the Company, the latter is entitle to sell or dispose of some or all of the goods without further notice. The cost of sale or disposal will be charged to the Customer. The net proceeds will be credited to the Customer’s account and any eventual surplus will be repaid to the Customer’s account without interest.
RIGHTS IN TITLE. Until the price of the goods has been paid in full:
… The goods remain the property of the Company
… The Company may at any time recover and re-sell the goods if any sum relating and owed by the customer is not paid on the due date, and for this purpose the Customer authorises the Company, its employees etc., with the appropriate transport to enter his premises for the purposes of collection. The Customer holds the goods as Bailee of and in trust for the Company and he shall store them gratis for the Company in a secure and proper manner so that they are identifiable as Company property.
Subject to this condition the Customer can dispose of the goods in the ordinary course of his business for the account of the Company and pass title in the goods to a bona fide purchaser for their value without notice of the Company’s rights, but the Customer’s rights shall automatically cease if the Company shall not be paid in full for the goods within 30 days of the due date.
In the event of any such disposal by the Customer the sale proceeds shall be held in trust for the Company absolutely, but he is entitled to retain any excess over the amount outstanding under his or any other contract. In the event that the sales proceeds are not passed over to the company within the due date and the Company seeks collection of these proceeds through litigation, interest will be added to the sum outstanding. The Company will also seek all legal and other expenses incurred through the collection of said proceeds and interest. In addition the Company is entitled to recover directly from the Customer’s purchaser any such sale proceeds unpaid by such purchaser together with the costs and expenses incurred by it in the recovery of such monies.
Nothing in this condition shall:
… Entitle the Customer to return the goods or to delay payment thereof, or
… Constitute expressly or implied the Customer as agent of the Company otherwise than for the purposes of this condition.
… Render the Company liable to any third party for any representation or warranty made by the customer unless the Customer is authorised to do so in writing.
