2)      Clerical Errors whether verbal or in writing are subject to correction if          necessary.
3)  A Terms of Payment are an initial payment of 25% of total purchase price          payable within 10 days of receipt of our written order confirmation to          you in order to secure the order with the agreed delivery dates. If initial          payment is not received in this period then the supply date will be          reviewed in line with the prevailing order lead time at the time payment          is received. The signed return of an order confirmation is taken as your          agreeing to our full terms and conditions of sale. The complete balance          is due immediately on completion when an invoice will be provided,          often by our erection team. Further invoicing may be needed to cover          work or variables to original order occured at the time including return          visit charges and these invoices are also due for settlement by return.
      B Other payment terms may be agreed in individual circumstances and          will be confirmed in our written order confirmation.
      C We will charge interest at 2.5% per month (or part thereof) for late          accounts, from the invoice due date until cleared funds arrive in our          account. Charges incurred in pursuance of late accounts will also be          recoverable from the customer.
      D Ownership of the building remains with us until such times as full and          final payment is made. If re-sold or transferred, we shall be entitled to          the proceeds of the re-sale and also and shortfall in price shall be          claimable.
      E Where elevation drawings or other general technical data is required,          we will charge a fee which is payable against invoice which will          accompany the information. This fee will be refunded to the customer          agaianst the final invoice when the building is supplied. Where          information such as Structural Design Certification is required from Third          Parties then the fees for this are payable against invoice and are not          refundable.
4)      The customer shall grant us right of access to re-enter their premises          solely in order to remove the building in case of non payment. This right          cannot be revoked until payment is received in full.
5)  A  All civil works, ground works, brickwork or fixings are entirely the          responsibilty of the customer and must be prepared to the minimum          standard shown in the plans provided.
      B All bases (whether concrete or earth/stone) must be level and civil          works / bricklines laid to the required standard. If in our erectors'          opionion it does not meet the standard or is outwith the dimensional          tolerances specified, we reserve the right not to erect the building. We          will then be entitled to charge for the lost time, travel costs and labour          to travel and re-erect the building at a later date. Indicative charges are          availble on request. If you choose to erect the buidling your self, no          reduction in the price is allowable. Alternatively, with yuor agreement,          we may erect the building having pointed out clearly the discrepancy but          any subsequent problems caused by this shall not be our responsibility.
6)      Delivery Dates are given as accurately as possible. A contracted          delivery period is only agreed upon receipt of your written order and          intial payment. However we reserve the right to extend or alter the          dates for reasons of strike, breakdown, illness or climate without          penalty. If a customer has to delay us for any reason then any          previously agreed dates no longer apply. We will use best efforts to          meet the requested revised delivery date but orders may have to be          delayed to the lead time prevailing at that point in time. Our Customer          Charter to reduce final invoices where delay occurs is soley a goodwill          gesture and is made without prejudice or admission of liability. No          financial claims resulting from delay can be considered by us.
7)      Access to the site must be clear and unrestricted with a minimum width          of 3.0m (10'). Due to weight restrictions we are limited to a carry          distance of 15m (50'). If further than this or if access is impossble due to          ground conditions or heathly and safety reasons, it is your responsibilty          to arrange for a tractor /trailer OR sufficient additional labour to assist          us in getting to erection site.
8)      Electrical supply should be within a resonable distance, typically 30m          (100'). If unavailable, you must advise us so we can arrange for a          portable generator which will be chargeable on the final account. If you          provide a generator it must be a minimum 2.2Kva.
9)      Most waste materials will be left on site in one location for use or          disposal by the customer as required as offcuts cannot be transported          safely. We insist that the area be swept before occupation as no          responsibilty can be taken for injury due to dropped nails, screws and          similar.
10)    Improvements and alterations to the design and specifications may be          made at any stage by us as a result of our poicy of continually          upgrading our products.
11)    Dimensions of timber are shown as nominal (i.e. before planing) in          sizes as we are invoiced by our suppliers. The actual size is shown in          the technical specifications and on written order confirmations. Similarly          buildings are described in imperial measures for ease of understanding          but actual sizes supplied will be as per drawings issued withorders and          quotations.
12)    Timber is a natural product as whilst we purchase materials of high          quality suitable for the job and inspect at the time of manufacture, we          cannot be held responsible for craking, warping, shirkage or similar          problems beyond our intial guarantee period (section 13). Timber is          subject to seasonal movement which include penetration of water          vapour at certian times of year. Our aftercare advise must be followed          to restrict any problems in this regard and our guarantees are subject          to correct care and maintenance being undertaken.
13)    We guarantee to repair or replace (as we see fit) any component or          product which fails to perform as may reasonably be expected,          unconditionally for a period of 1 year from supply, (subject to allowance          for wear and tear and appropriate maintenance being carried out). We          undertake for a period of 10 years to guarantee the structure against          failure due to bad workmanship. All pressure treated components are          guaranteed against rot and decay for 15 years and the Onduline and          other roofing systems are covered by the manufactures own          guarantees.
14)    Where wind or other climate conditions exceed the normal levels          expected for the area in any season, we cannot be held responsible for          damage caused to the buildings. In addition where the building is not          bolted to a concrete base (typically field shelters) then the Company          cannot guarantee the integrity of the structure at all. It is your          responsibilty to take appropriate steps which reflect your local          circumstances.
15)    Any damages or shortfall in delivery of any goods or services must be          notified verbally within 3 days of erection or delivery and confirmed in          writing within 7 days at the latest. Damage must be advised and          opportunity be given to inspect the problem before admittance of any          animal stock.
16)    Problems resulting from inaccuracy of drawings or dimensions supplied          by a customer shall not become our responsibilty. Any additional work or          time taken as a result shall be chargeable.
17)    Where an order is placed subject to obtaining relevant planning          consents and this is not granted, customers may cancel the order          whereupon funds paid will be refunded in full, provided work has not          commenced or disruption caused to the working schedule. There may be          an administrative charge to cover any costs incurred such as drawings.          Customers may be asked for a copy of the decision refusing permission          before a refund can be paid.
         Where an order is cancelled for any other reason, we reserve the right          to retian any funds paid or part thereof. Our current policy is          cancellation by customers within 10 days of order confirmation date will          enable a 100% refund, 11 - 30 days from order confirmation 75% refund          and 31 days+ 50% refund. Where cancellation occurs less than 28 days          before agreed supply date then 100% of initial payment may be          retained.
18)    The Law of Scotland is deemed to govern any work, supplies or          contract.
19)    Insurance must be arranged by you to cover materials and equipment          on site against fire, theft, loss or damage prior to completion.
