The Seller reserves the right to suspend or discontinue the supply of goods or services to the Buyer.

Currently, I’m working on my graduation thesis work. Before starting to work I’ve read about dissertation all available information to know how it should be written. I can say that it’s hard task, so, eventually, I’ve decided to buy dissertation and don’t spend a lot of time on it.

If a customer cancels an order for a custom made or non-standard product, any deposits for such orders will be forfeited and the customer will be invoiced for the value of the completed work on the non-standard, customer made products.

3. Where a written quotation has been given by the Seller, the selling price is the price specified in the quotation. In any other case, the Seller’s selling price is the price specified in the price list as at the date of despatch. Unless otherwise stated, the selling price does not include GST. The Seller may at any time change its price list to reflect, among other things, changes in exchange rates or the imposition of any duties, levies or other taxes and the Buyer is bound by those changes. The Seller may charge a reasonable handling fee for all orders delivered to the Buyer. The Buyer must accept any errors or omissions in invoicing and, where applicable, the Buyer must accept the amended pricing and pay the difference within the approved terms of trade.

Kwikclamp makes every effort to provide estimates and quotations based on the information provided by the Buyer, who is solely responsible for accuracy of the items and quantities thereof required for the Buyer’s project. The Seller has no liability or responsibility for any errors, omissions, under or over quantities.

4. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller, delivery is at the Seller’s premises. If a delivery date is specified, that date is an estimate only and the Seller is not liable for any delay in delivery. Time is not of the essence in relation to delivery and the Buyer must accept delivery and pay for the goods delivered including transport costs even if they are delivered after any specified delivery date.The Buyer must inspect the goods or services immediately following delivery or completion of the services (as the case may be). The Buyer may only return goods with the prior approval of the Seller. The goods must be returned at the Buyers expense within 7 days of the date of delivery in an unsoiled, undamaged and resaleable condition and, where appropriate, in the original packaging. A handling or re-stocking fee for any returned goods will be charged to the Buyer, the charge being 35% of the invoice value of the goods, excluding delivery and handling costs, with the % charge levied being at the sole discretion of the Seller. Custom made ,cut lengths of tube or pipe and/or non-standard products cannot be returned and no refunds will be made.

As many of our consignments are heavy and/or oversize, our delivery drivers will generally unload items smaller individual items without requiring assistance from the customer on site. Where a consignment involves a larger number of and heavier or oversize items / packs, there must be assistance on site (labour and preferably also a forklift), to unload the consignment items. If there is no-one on site or the delivery driver considers the items are too heavy to unload manually, they will return the consignment to the depot until arrangements can be made to effect the unloading safely and within occupational safety rules. In these instances there will be an extra charge for this unloading and handling and you agree to accept these charges.

We can organise in advance to use a tailgate or crane truck to carry out the unloading when no-one will be on site to assist with the unloading and again in these instances an extra charge will apply and you agree to accept this charge.

5. Any claim that the goods or services are not in accordance with these terms and conditions (including if they are defective, damaged during delivery, are short delivered or services not as per contract) must be made at the time of delivery/services provided or in writing to the Seller within 24 hours after delivery of the goods/completion of the services to the Buyer. If the Buyer fails to make a claim then, to the extent permitted by law, the goods or services are deemed to have been accepted by the Buyer and the Buyer must pay for the goods or services in accordance with these terms and conditions.
