2.1 These conditions shall:
2.1.1 apply to and be incorporated in the Contract; and

withdraw it at any time by notice to the Customer.
3.2 Each order or acceptance of a quotation for Goods by the Customer shall be
deemed to be an offer by the Customer subject to these conditions. The
Customer shall ensure that its order is complete and accurate.

instalment shall be invoiced and paid for in accordance with the provisions of
the applicable Contract. Each instalment shall be a separate Contract and no

the Customer, except with the agreement in writing of Galloway and provided
that the Customer indemnifies Galloway in full against all loss (including loss

changes in the specification of the Goods which are required to conform with
any applicable legislation or, where the Goods are to be supplied to the
Customer’s specification, which do not materially affect their quality or
performance. Where Galloway is not the manufacturer of the Goods,
Galloway shall use reasonable endeavours to transfer to the Customer the
benefit of any warranty or guarantee given by the manufacturer to Galloway.
5.5 Galloway’s employees, contractors and agents are not authorised to make
any contractually binding representations concerning the Goods. In entering
into the Contract, the Customer acknowledges that it does not rely on, and
waives any claim for breach of, any such representations which have not
been confirmed in writing by an authorised officer of Galloway. However,
nothing in these conditions limits Galloway’s liability for fraudulent
misrepresentation.
5.6 Any advice or recommendation given by Galloway or its employees,
contractors or agents to the Customer or its employees, contractors or agents
about the storage, application or use of the Goods which is not confirmed in
writing by an authorised officer of Galloway is followed or acted on entirely at

Galloway’s acknowledgement of the order and Galloway may increase the

labour, materials, supply or transportation costs) which affect Galloway at the
date of delivery.
6.3 The price of the Goods shall be Galloway’s quoted price or, where no price
has been quoted (or a quoted price is no longer valid), the price listed in
Galloway’s order acknowledgement current at the date of acceptance of the
4
order. The price listed in Galloway’s order acknowledgement shall apply to
exports of Goods as appropriate.
6.4 Galloway reserves the right, by giving notice to the Customer at any time
before delivery, to increase the price of such of the Goods as has not been
delivered to reflect any increase in the cost to Galloway which is due to any
factor beyond the control of Galloway (including any foreign exchange
fluctuation, taxes, currency regulation, alteration of duties, change in
legislation, significant increase in the costs of labour, materials or other costs
of manufacture), any change in delivery dates, quantities or specifications for
Goods which is requested by the Customer, or any delay caused by any
instructions of the Customer or failure of the Customer to give Galloway
adequate information or instructions.

after Galloway has notified the Customer that the Goods are ready for

7.3.1 in the case of Goods delivered in the United Kingdom, if the
customer has an approved credit account, unless otherwise agreed,

7.4 Time for payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract.
7.5 If the Customer fails to make payment in full on the due date, the whole of the

to Galloway, Galloway may:

(whether ordered under the same contract or not) to the Customer;
7.5.2 appropriate any payment made by the Customer to such of the
Goods (or the Goods supplied under any other contract between the
Customer and Galloway) as it thinks fit (despite any purported
appropriation by the Customer);
5
7.5.3 charge interest on the amount outstanding from the due date to the
date of receipt by Galloway (whether or not after judgment), at the
annual rate of 3 % above the London Interbank Base Rate, accruing

made, whether before or after any judgment. Galloway reserves the
right to claim interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts
(Interest) Act 1998;

service until payment has been made in full.

property in such manner and at such price as it thinks fit and to
apply the proceeds towards the amount outstanding.
7.6 All sums payable to Galloway under the Contract shall become due
immediately on its termination without any right of the Customer to
compensation or set-off or counterclaim, despite any other provision of the
Contract, and will be calculated and payable in Pounds Sterling unless
otherwise specified by Galloway to the Customer in writing. This condition 7.6
is without prejudice to any right to claim for interest under the law, or any right
under the Contract.
7.7 Galloway may, without prejudice to any other rights it may have, set off any
liability of the Customer to Galloway against any liability of Galloway to the
Customer.
7.8 Where there is a deferred delivery date or a Contract is agreed with the
Customer requiring deliveries of Goods over a period of more than four
weeks, Galloway may submit interim invoices to the Customer for work done
and such invoices will be payable in accordance with the terms of this
condition 7.
8. DELIVERY OF GOODS AND ACCEPTANCE
8.1 Galloway shall use its reasonable endeavours to deliver the Goods on the
date or dates specified in Galloway’s acknowledgement of order to the
Premises, but any such date is approximate only. If no dates are so
specified, delivery shall be within a reasonable time of acceptance of the
order. Time is not of the essence as to the delivery of the Goods and
Galloway is not liable for any delay in delivery, however caused.
6
8.2 The Goods may be delivered by Galloway in advance of the quoted delivery
date on giving reasonable notice to the Customer.
8.3 Delivery shall be made during normal business hours (excluding bank or
public holidays). Galloway may levy additional charges for any deliveries
made outside such hours at the Customer’s request.
8.4 In the event that the Customer wishes delivery to take place at a location
other than at the Premises, then the Customer shall be responsible (at the
Customer’s cost) for preparing the delivery location for the delivery of the
Goods and for the provision of all necessary access and facilities reasonably
required to deliver and if necessary install the Goods. If Galloway is
prevented from carrying out delivery or installation on the specified date
because no such preparation has been carried out, Galloway may levy
additional charges to recover its loss arising from this event.
8.5 The Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods when the
Customer has had three days to inspect it after delivery and has not
exercised in writing its right of rejection in accordance with condition 11.
8.6 Galloway shall be responsible for any damage, shortage or loss in transit,
provided that the Customer notifies it to Galloway (or its carrier, if applicable)
within three days of delivery or the proposed delivery date of the Goods and
that the Goods have been handled in accordance with Galloway’s
stipulations. Any remedy under this condition 8.6 shall be limited, at the option
of Galloway, to the replacement or repair of any Goods within a reasonable
period and which Goods are proven to Galloway’s satisfaction to have been
lost or damaged in transit. Where the Customer insists on its own carrier or
authorises Galloway to contract with any carrier on behalf of the Customer,
the Customer acknowledges that Galloway will have no liability if the Goods
are lost or damaged in the course of transit.
9. RISK AND PROPERTY
9.1 The Goods shall be at the risk of Galloway until delivery to the Customer at
the place of delivery specified in the Galloway’s acknowledgement of order or
transport delivery notes. The place of delivery specified in the transport
delivery notes shall take precedence over any place specified in the
acknowledgement of order where there are any delivery address changes
after Galloway have issued their acknowledgement of order. The Customer
shall off-load the Goods at the Customer’s risk unless otherwise agreed and
acknowledged.
7
9.2 Ownership of the Goods shall pass to the Customer on the later of completion
of delivery (including off-loading), or when Galloway has received in full in
cleared funds all sums due to it in respect of:
9.2.1 the Goods; and
9.2.2 all other sums which are or which become due to Galloway from the
Customer on any account.
9.3 Until ownership of the Goods has passed to the Customer under condition
9.2, the Customer shall:
9.3.1 hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as Galloway’s bailee;
9.3.2 store the Goods (at no cost to Galloway) in satisfactory conditions and
separately from all the Customer’s other Goods or that of a third party,
so that it remains readily identifiable as Galloway’s property;
9.3.3 not destroy, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or
relating to the Goods; and
9.3.4 keep the Goods insured on Galloway’s behalf for their full price against
all risks to the reasonable satisfaction of Galloway, and hold the
proceeds of such insurance on trust for Galloway and not mix them
with any other money, nor pay the proceeds into an overdrawn bank
account
9.3.5 not sell on the Goods upon any price, terms and conditions attaching
to such a sale without Galloway’s prior written permission to do so
(“authorised sale”). The Customer will hold the proceeds of an
authorised sale on trust within an account specified by Galloway. The
Customer shall not hold out as an agent/employee or in any other way
acting on behalf of Galloway in an authorised sale without the prior
written permission from Galloway. All risks, liabilities attaching to an
authorised sale whatsoever including under any common law or
statute shall be solely at the risk of the Customer.
9.4 The Customer’s right to possession of the Goods before ownership has
passed to it shall terminate immediately if any of the circumstances set out in
condition 15 arise or if the Customer encumbers or in any way charges the
Goods, or if the Customer fails to make any payment to Galloway on the due
date.
9.5 The Customer grants Galloway, its agents and employees an irrevocable
licence at any time to enter any premises where the Goods are or may be
stored in order to inspect them, before ownership of the Goods has passed to
the Customer, or where the Customer’s right to possession has terminated, to
remove them. All costs incurred by Galloway in repossessing the Goods shall
be borne by the Customer.
8
9.6 On termination of the Contract for any reason, Galloway’s (but not the
Customer’s) rights in this condition 9 shall remain in effect.
9.7 Galloway may appropriate payments by the Customer to such Goods as it
thinks fit, notwithstanding any purported appropriation by the Customer to the
contrary, and may make such appropriation at any time.
10. EXPORT TERMS
10.1 Where the Goods are supplied for export from the United Kingdom, the
provisions of this condition 10 shall (subject to any contrary terms agreed in
writing between the Customer and Galloway) override any other provision of
these conditions.
10.2 The Customer shall be responsible for complying with any legislation
governing:
10.2.1 the importation of the Goods into the country of destination; and
10.2.2 the export and re-export of the Goods,
and shall be responsible for the payment of any duties on the Goods.
10.3 Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Customer and Galloway,
Goods shall be delivered upon their collection by the Customer from the
Premises or any other location that we may specify and agree upon with the
Customer in writing. Galloway shall be under no obligation to give notice in
case of air or sea shipment and under section 32(3) of the Sale of Goods Act
1979,
10.4 Galloway shall be responsible for arranging for the inspection of the Goods at
Galloway’s or Galloway’s sub-contractor’s premises before collection or

workmanship and materials. Galloway undertakes (subject to the remainder
of this condition 11), at its option, to repair or replace Goods (other than
consumable items) which are found to be defective as a result of faulty
materials or workmanship within twelve months of delivery and installation.
The carriage costs of allegedly defective Goods and the costs of their return
9
to the Customer shall be met by the Customer. Any associated call-out costs
and/or inspection charges shall also be met by the Customer unless the
allegation of defective Goods is founded, in which case Galloway reserves
the right to refund the Customer the price of the Goods instead of repairing or
replacing the Goods.
11.2 Galloway shall not be liable for a breach of the warranty contained in
condition 11.1 unless:
11.2.1 the Customer gives written notice of the defect to Galloway within
seven days of the time when the Customer discovers or ought to
have discovered the defect; and
11.2.2 after receiving the notice, Galloway is given a reasonable opportunity
of examining such Goods and the Customer (if asked to do so by
Galloway) returns such Goods to Galloway’s place of business at the
Customer’s cost for the examination to take place there.
11.3 Galloway shall not be liable for a breach of the warranty in condition 11.1 if:
11.3.1 the Customer makes any use of Goods in respect of which it has
given written notice under condition 11.2.1; or
11.3.2 the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow Galloway’s
oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation,
commissioning, use or maintenance of Goods or (if there are none)
good trade practice; or
11.3.3 the Customer alters or repairs the relevant Goods without the written
consent of Galloway.

portion of the twelve month period.

except where any use or purpose has been specified in writing by Galloway to
the Customer.

the failure to deliver within seven days after the scheduled delivery date.
10
12.2 Any liability of Galloway for non-delivery of the Goods shall be limited to
replacing the Goods within a reasonable time or issuing a credit note at the
pro rata contract rate against any invoice raised for such Goods.
12.3 If Galloway’s performance of its obligations under the Contract is prevented or
delayed by any act or omission of the Customer (other than by reason of a
Force Majeure Event under condition 16), the Customer shall be liable to pay
to Galloway all reasonable costs, charges, expenses or losses sustained by it
as a result, subject to Galloway notifying the Customer in writing of any such
claim it might have against the Customer in this respect.
12.4 In the event of any claim by the Customer under the warranty given in
condition 11.1, the Customer shall notify Galloway in writing of the alleged
defect. Galloway shall have the option of inspecting the Goods at their current
location or moving them to Galloway’s premises (or those of its agent or subcontractor)
at the cost of Galloway. If the Customer’s claim is subsequently
found by Galloway to be outside the scope or duration of the warranty in
condition 11, the costs of transportation of the Goods, investigation and repair
shall be borne by the Customer.

owed by the Customer under the Contract.
