The Customer is responsible for ensuring clear access to the site for delivery of the Goods and performance of the Services. Any time wasted by Zapp Outdoor on site or spent on site providing additional services due to the Customer’s breach of this clause will be chargeable by Zapp Outdoor.

3.5 No order which has been accepted by Zapp Outdoor may be cancelled by the Customer except with the agreement in writing of Zapp Outdoor and on terms that the Customer shall indemnify Zapp Outdoor in full against all loss (including loss of profit), costs (including the cost of all labour and materials used), damages, charges (including cancellation charges of suppliers) and expenses incurred by Zapp Outdoor as a result of cancellation, including any cancellation costs of any related sub-contract.

  1. Price of the Goods
    4.1 The price of the Goods and Services shall be Zapp Outdoor’s quoted price or, where no price has been quoted (or a quoted price is no longer valid having been given 30 days or more previously), Zapp Outdoor’s price for the relevant Goods and Services current at the date for performance of the Services or delivery of the Goods, as appropriate.

4.2 Zapp Outdoor reserves the right, by giving notice to the Customer at any time before delivery, to increase the price of the Goods or Services to reflect any increase in the cost to Zapp Outdoor which is due to any factor beyond the reasonable control of Zapp Outdoor (such as, without limitation, any foreign exchange fluctuation, currency regulation, alteration of duties or customs charges, increase in the costs of labour, materials or other costs of production, including quality control), any change in delivery dates for the Goods which is requested by the Customer, or any delay caused by any instructions of the Customer or failure of the Customer to give Zapp Outdoor adequate information or instructions. Zapp Outdoor shall be entitled to increase the price in the event that Zapp Outdoor or its employee or agent made an error or omission when quoting a price for the Goods or Services.

4.3 The price is exclusive of any applicable VAT, which the Customer shall be additionally liable to pay to Zapp Outdoor.

  1. Terms of payment
    5.1 Zapp Outdoor shall be entitled to invoice the Customer for the price of the Goods and Services on or at any time after delivery of the Goods, being the point of unloading at the Customer’s site (or the due date for delivery, if delivery cannot be effected for any reason).

5.2 Unless otherwise specified by Zapp Outdoor at the time of order acceptance or in a special condition or where the Customer is an Account Holder within its credit limit, the Customer shall pay the price of the Goods and Services (without any deduction or set off), within 7 days of Zapp Outdoor’s invoice being issued and Zapp Outdoor shall be entitled to recover the price, notwithstanding that delivery may not have taken place and the property in the Goods has not passed to the Customer. The time of payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract. A Customer having an authorised credit account with Zapp Outdoor (an “Account Holder”) shall be entitled to a credit period of 30 days for payment from the date of invoice, provided such Customer remains within its credit limit. If it does not do so, normal payment terms will apply until the Customer is re-authorised by Zapp Outdoor.

5.3 If the Customer fails to make any payment on the due date then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Zapp Outdoor, the full price of all Goods delivered to and Services performed for the Customer under any contract with A&E but not paid for shall become immediately due and payable (notwithstanding any previously agreed credit terms) and Zapp Outdoor shall be entitled to do all or any of the following:

5.3.1 by notice, terminate the Contract and recover from the Customer the contract price of the Goods and Services and all losses, expenses and costs suffered or incurred by Zapp Outdoor;

5.3.2 suspend or withhold any further performance of Services or deliveries of Goods to the Customer without liability to the Customer;

5.3.3 appropriate any payment made by the Customer to such of the Goods or Services (or the goods or services supplied under any other contract between the Customer and Zapp Outdoor) as Zapp Outdoor may think fit (notwithstanding any purported appropriation by the Customer); and 5.3.4 charge the Customer interest (both before and after any judgment) on the amount unpaid, at the rate of five per cent per annum above Royal Bank of Scotland PLC base rate from time to time, until payment in full is made (a part of a month being treated as a full month for the purpose of calculating interest).

  1. Delivery
    6.1 Any dates quoted for performance of the Services and delivery of the Goods are approximate only and Zapp Outdoor shall not be liable for any delay in performance of the Services or delivery of the Goods however caused. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence of the Contract. The Goods may be delivered by Zapp Outdoor in advance of the quoted delivery date upon giving reasonable notice to the Customer.

6.2 Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by Zapp Outdoor to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Conditions or any claim by the Customer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Customer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.

6.3 If the Customer fails to take delivery of the Goods or fails to give Zapp Outdoor adequate delivery instructions at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond the Customer’s control or by reason of Zapp Outdoor’s fault) then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to Zapp Outdoor, Zapp Outdoor may:

6.3.1 recover the expense of the carrier’s standing time at the point of delivery;

6.3.2 store the Goods until actual delivery and charge the Customer for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage: or

6.3.3 sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to the Customer for the excess over the price under the Contract or charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price under the Contract.

6.4 Unless within 7 days of installation of the Goods Zapp Outdoor is notified to the contrary, all Goods and Services supplied shall be deemed to have been received complete and in good condition and accepted by the Customer as being in accordance with the Specification and this Contract. Notice of any damage, non-compliance with Specification, shortage or non-arrival must be given by the Customer to Zapp Outdoor within such 7 day period.

  1. Risk and property
    7.1 Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Customer on delivery and the Customer is advised to insure accordingly.

7.2 Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the Goods, or any other provision of these Conditions, the property in the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until Zapp Outdoor has received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of the Goods and all other goods agreed to be sold by Zapp Outdoor to the Customer for which payment is then due.

7.3 Until such time as the property in the Goods passes to the Customer, the Customer shall hold the Goods as Zapp Outdoor’s fiduciary agent and bailee, and shall keep the Goods in good condition and appropriate environmental and other conditions to maintain the quality of the Goods, separate from those of the Customer and third parties and properly stored, protected and insured and identified as Zapp Outdoor’s property.

7.4 Until such time as the property in the Goods passes to the Customer, Zapp Outdoor shall be entitled at any time to require the Customer to deliver up the Goods to Zapp Outdoor and, if the Customer fails to do so immediately, Zapp Outdoor is hereby granted an irrevocable licence to enter on or in any premises or vehicles of the Customer or any third party where the Goods are loaded, stored or being processed and repossess the Goods. (The Customer shall procure such rights for Zapp Outdoor from any such third party).

7.5 The Customer shall not be entitled to pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Goods which remain the property of Zapp Outdoor, but if the Customer does so all sums owed by the Customer to Zapp Outdoor shall (without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Zapp Outdoor) immediately become due and payable.

7.6 The copyright and all other intellectual property rights in any software, design, drawing, specification, work, invention or improvement made or created or used by Zapp Outdoor in the course of or for the purposes of providing the Services and/or installing the Goods shall remain the sole property of Zapp Outdoor. If Zapp Outdoor provides drawings to the Customer (which it may do subject to payment of its then applicable charges), the copyright in such drawings shall remain with Zapp Outdoor, but provided the Customer enters a Contract with Zapp Outdoor and pays for all Goods and Services supplied in full, the Customer shall have a non-exclusive licence to use them solely for the purposes specified by Zapp Outdoor. All such drawings and copies must be returned to Zapp Outdoor on request.

7.7 Zapp Outdoor accepts no responsibility for any Customer equipment or tools on site or for the security of the site. This provision applies from the date of delivery of the first Goods, during the installation period and prior to hand over to the Customer. The risk of and cost of remedying all loss and damage caused in these circumstances shall be the responsibility of the Customer.
