These conditions apply to all Seller’s sales and any variation hereto shall have no effect unless expressly agreed in writing and signed by a Director of Innovative Measurement Technology (Seller). Each order or acceptance of a quotation for Goods or Services by Buyer shall be deemed to be an offer by Buyer to buy Goods and/or Services subject to these conditions. Any quotation is given on the basis that no Contract shall come into existence until Seller receives order from Buyer, either written, verbal or by other means.

2. Description. All samples, drawings, descriptive matter, specifications and advertising issued by Innovative Measurement Technology in its catalogues/brochures or otherwise shall not form part of the Contract. This is not a sale by sample.

3. Delivery. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller, delivery of Goods shall take place at Buyer’s place of business. Services shall be provided at such venue(s) specified in Seller’s quotation. Any dates specified by Seller for delivery of Goods or performance of Services are intended to be an estimate and time for delivery shall not be made of the essence by notice. If no dates are specified, delivery/performance shall be within a reasonable time. Subject to the other provisions hereof, Seller shall not be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss (all three of which terms include, without limitation, pure economic loss, loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and similar loss), costs, damages, charges or expenses caused directly or indirectly by any delay in delivery of Goods or Services (even if caused by Seller’s negligence), nor shall any delay entitle Buyer to terminate or rescind the Contract unless such delay exceeds 180 days. If for any reason Buyer fails to accept delivery of Goods when ready, or Innovative Measurement Technology is unable to deliver Goods on time because Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorizations: (i) risk in Goods shall pass to Buyer; (ii) Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (iii) Seller may store Goods until delivery, whereupon Buyer shall be liable for all related costs. The quantity of any consignment of Goods as recorded by Seller on dispatch from Seller’s place of business shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity received by Buyer on delivery, unless Buyer can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary. Buyer shall provide Seller in a timely manner and at no charge access to its facilities as required by Seller to perform Services, informing Innovative Measurement Technology (Seller) of all health/safety rules and security requirements. Buyer also shall obtain and maintain all licenses/consents and comply with all legislation in relation to the Services. If Seller’s performance of the Services is prevented/delayed by any act/omission of Buyer, Buyer shall pay Seller all costs incurred by Seller.

4. Risk/title. Goods are at the risk of Buyer from time of delivery. Buyer’s right to possession of Goods shall terminate immediately if: (i) Buyer has a bankruptcy order made against it or makes an arrangement or composition with his creditors, or otherwise takes the benefit of any statutory provision for the time being in force for the relief of insolvent debtors, or (being a body corporate) convenes a meeting of creditors (whether formal or informal), or enters into liquidation (whether voluntary or compulsory), except a solvent voluntary liquidation for the purpose only of reconstruction or amalgamation, or has a receiver and/or manager, administrator or administrative receiver appointed of its undertaking or any part thereof, or documents are filed with the court for the appointment of an administrator of Buyer or notice of intention to appoint an administrator is given by Buyer or its directors or by a qualifying floating charge holder (as defined in paragraph 14 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986), or a resolution is passed or a petition presented to any court for the winding-up of Buyer or for the granting of an administration order in respect of Buyer, or any proceedings are commenced relating to the insolvency or possible insolvency of Buyer; or (ii) Buyer suffers or allows any execution, whether legal or equitable, to be levied on its property or obtained against it, or fails to observe or perform any of its obligations under the Contract or any other contract between Seller and Buyer, or is unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986 or Buyer ceases to trade; or (iii) Buyer encumbers or in any way charges any of Goods. Seller shall be entitled to recover payment for Goods notwithstanding that ownership of any of Goods has not passed from Seller. While any payment for Goods remains outstanding, Seller may require return of Goods. Where Goods are not returned in a reasonable time, Buyer grants Seller an irrevocable license at any time to enter any premises where Goods are or may be stored in order to inspect them, or, where Buyer’s right to possession has terminated, to recover them, and to sever Goods where they are attached or connected to another item without being responsible for any damage caused. Any such return or recovery shall be without prejudice to Buyer’s continuing obligation to purchase Goods in accordance with the Contract. Where Seller is unable to determine whether any goods are the Goods in respect of which Buyer’s right to possession has terminated, Buyer shall be deemed to have sold all Goods of the kind sold by Seller to Buyer in the order in which they were invoiced to Buyer.
