4 DELIVERY

4.1 Any times specified or agreed by ITHS for the delivery of the Works are given in good faith but are an estimate only. ITHS will use its reasonable endeavors to deliver the Works within the times specified in the Order Acknowledgement or otherwise agreed in writing and if no time is specified or agreed by ITHS delivery will take place within a reasonable time. The time for the delivery of the Works will not be of the essence of the Contract.

4.2 (Subject to the provisions of clause 4.3) the Customer will collect the Works from ITHS’s place of business and delivery will be deemed to take place when ITHS notifies the Customer that the Works are ready for collection and unless otherwise agreed in writing the Customer will collect the Works within 3 working days of the issue of such notice.

4.3 If ITHS agrees to deliver the Works then subject to clause 4.4 delivery will be deemed to take place when the Works are delivered to the Customer at the place stated in ITHS’s Order Acknowledgement or such other place as the parties may agree except that delivery to a carrier for the purpose of transmission to the Customer will be deemed to be delivery to the Customer and sections 32(2) and (3) of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 will not apply.

4.4 Subject to clause 4.3 ITHS will make such arrangements for the carriage and insurance of the Works as it thinks appropriate but the Customer will indemnify ITHS against any costs or expenses ITHS incurs as a result of such carriage and insurance (including but not limited to export and/or import duties and any costs of packing, loading and/or unloading) such costs and/or expenses to be paid by the Customer when it is due to pay for the Works.

4.5 ITHS will use reasonable endeavors to ensure where necessary that the Works will be packed so as to be adequately protected against damage in normal conditions of transit of usual duration.

4.6 ITHS may deliver the Works in installments. Deliveries of further installments may be withheld until the Works comprised in earlier installments have been paid for in full. Default by ITHS (howsoever caused) in respect of one or more installments will not entitle the Customer to terminate the relevant Contract as a whole.

4.7 In the event of any delay in the delivery of any Goods and/or the performance of any Services which are attributable to any act or omission by the Customer:

(a) delivery of the Goods and/or performance of the Services will be deemed to have taken place at the time which but for such delay, delivery or performance it would have taken place and any extra costs (including but not limited to storage and insurance costs) incurred as a result of such delay will be added to the Contract price and paid by the Customer; and

(b) ITHS may sell or otherwise dispose of such Goods (as it sees fit) 28 days after such delay and deduct any monies payable to ITHS by the Customer from the sale proceeds and account to the Customer for any excess or charge the Customer for any shortfall.

4.8 Where the Works are to be supplied from stock such supply is subject to the availability of the stock at the date of delivery.

4.9 On delivery to the Customer all Works should be examined by the Customer. ITHS will not be liable for any damage to or any shortages in or non-delivery of the Works (even if caused by ITHS’s negligence) unless the same is notified in writing by the Customer to ITHS (together with all relevant details) within 48 hours of the actual or anticipated date of delivery (as appropriate). Any damage to or any shortages in or non-delivery of part of the Works will not affect the Contract in respect of the other parts of the Works.

4.10 Subject to a notice being provided in accordance with clause 4.9 ITHS will, if it is reasonably satisfied that any Works have not been delivered as a result of ITHS’s fault (in its sole discretion) either arrange for delivery as soon as reasonably possible or (where the Contract price has been invoiced) give credit (at the pro rata Contract price) to the Customer for such Works. 4.11 If ITHS complies with clause 4.9 it will (subject to clause 9.2) have no further liability (in contract, tort (including but not limited to negligence) or otherwise) for such shortages or non-delivery.

4.12 The Customer will (at its own expense) provide such advice, assistance and information as may be required to enable ITHS to perform its obligations under this Contract.

5 RISK AND OWNERSHIP

5.1 The Customer acknowledges that before entering into this Contract it has expressly represented and warranted that it is not insolvent and has not committed any act of bankruptcy, or being a company with limited and unlimited liability, knows of no circumstances which would entitle any debenture holder or secured creditor to appoint a receiver, to petition for winding up of the Customer or exercise any other rights over or against the Customer’s assets.

5.2 (Unless otherwise agreed in writing) the Goods are at the risk of the Customer from the time of delivery or deemed delivery (as appropriate) to the Customer in accordance with these Conditions and loading and off loading (as appropriate) will be at the Customer’s risk. Section 20(2) of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 will not apply.

5.3 (Notwithstanding that risk in the Goods will pass to the Customer in accordance with the provisions of clause 5.2) ownership of the Goods (both legal and equitable) will remain with ITHS (unless ownership is properly vested in some other person by the operation of any statute) until ITHS has received in full (in cash or cleared funds):

(a) all sums due in respect of the Goods; and

(b) all other sums which are or which become due to ITHS from the Customer on any account.

5.4 Until ownership of the Goods has passed to the Customer under clause 5.3, the Customer will:

(a) hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as ITHS’s bailee;

(b) keep the Goods free from any charge, lien or other encumbrance;

(c) store the Goods (at no cost to ITHS) separately from all other goods or materials of the Customer or any third party in such a way that they remain readily identifiable as ITHS’s property and easily accessible to ITHS;

(d) not destroy, deface or obscure any identifying mark on the Goods or their packaging;

(e) maintain the Goods in a satisfactory condition;

(f) insure the Goods on ITHS behalf for their full price or replacement value (whichever is the greater) against all usual risks and to the reasonable satisfaction of ITHS and on request produce such policy of insurance to ITHS;

(g) hold all proceeds of the insurance referred to in clause 5.4(f) on trust for ITHS and not mix it with any other money or pay the proceeds into any overdrawn bank account; and

(h) allow ITHS access at any reasonable time to enable ITHS to verify that the Customer has complied with its obligations under this clause 5.4.

5.5 The Customer may resell, use or otherwise dispose of the Goods before ownership has passed to it only if any such sale, use or disposition will be effected in the ordinary course of the Customer’s business at full market value and will be a sale, use or disposition of ITHS’s property on the Customers own behalf and the Customer will deal as principal when marking such sale, use or disposition.

5.6 Once payment becomes due, ITHS may while the owner of the Goods (without prejudice to its other rights) demand the immediate return of the Goods at any time and the Customer must comply with (and bear the cost of) such demand immediately. If the Customer fails to return such Goods, the Customer grants to ITHS or its successors in title, and their respective employees and agents, an irrevocable license to enter the Customer’s premises (with or without vehicles) to remove the Goods (the cost of which shall be borne by the Customer) and may sell or otherwise deal with the Goods.

5.7 ITHS will be entitled to recover payment for the Goods notwithstanding that ownership of any of the Goods has not passed from ITHS.

5.8 The Goods will be deemed sold or used in the order delivered to the Customer.

6 PRICE AND PAYMENT

6.1 The price for the Works will be the price set out in the Order Acknowledgement (or otherwise agreed in writing) between the parties.

6.2 Each price is based on the scope of the Works and the instructions and information provided by the Customer. ITHS reserves the right (in its absolute discretion) to amend the price to cover any increase in cost which may arise as a result of additional Works being requested by the Customer (and agreed by ITHS) or additional or incomplete instructions or information being provided by the Customer.

6.3 Quotations given in a currency other than sterling are based on the rate of exchange at the time of quoting and (unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties) the price may be subject to revision if any different rate of exchange is ruling at the date of invoice.

6.4 (Unless otherwise agreed in writing) the price for the Works is exclusive of any value added tax (and any other tax or duty relating to the manufacture, transportation, sale or delivery of the Works) and any costs or charges in relation to export and/or import, packaging, loading, unloading, carriage and insurance. Such costs and expenses will be paid by the Customer when it is due to pay for the Works.

6.5 Where ITHS agrees (in its discretion) to bring forward the date of delivery of the Works at the Customers request any additional costs reasonably incurred by ITHS shall be charged to the Customer in addition to the Contract price.

6.6 ITHS may invoice the Customer for the Works at any time after the delivery of the Works or the delivery of any installment (as appropriate). If any delivery is postponed at the request or by the default of the Customer then ITHS may submit its invoice at any time after the Works are ready for delivery or would have been ready but for such request or default on the part of the Customer.

6.7 (Unless otherwise agreed in writing) where the terms for payment in the Order Acknowledgement show “COD”, ITHS will not be bound to deliver the Goods until the Customer has paid the price for them. Payment shall be due before the Delivery Date.

6.8 (Unless otherwise agreed in writing) where the terms for payment in the Order Acknowledgement show “Net”, payment of the price will be due on the date when the period as specified in the Order Acknowledgement expires.

6.9 Where no terms for payment are set out in the Order Acknowledgement or otherwise agreed in writing payment of the price will be made within 30 days from the date of delivery of the Works.

6.10 No payment will be deemed to have been received until ITHS has received cleared funds.

6.11 Time for payment will be of the essence of the Contract and the Customer will indemnify ITHS against all reasonable expenses, debt recovery fees, Court fees, solicitor’s fees and disbursements incurred by ITHS in recovering overdue amounts.

6.12 All payments payable to ITHS under the Contract will become due immediately on termination of this Contract notwithstanding any other provision of these Conditions.

6.13 The Customer will make all payments due under the Contract without any deduction whether by way of set-off, counterclaim, discount, abatement or otherwise unless the Customer has a valid court order requiring an amount equal to such deduction to be paid by ITHS to the Customer.

6.14 ITHS may (but will not be obliged) at any time or times without notice to the Customer set off any liability of the Customer to ITHS against any liability of ITHS to the Customer (in either case howsoever arising and whether such liability is present, future, liquidated or unliquidated). ITHS and Customer agree that in exercising this right to set off, ITHS shall be doing no more than discharging its own liability by the application of its own asset. Any exercise by ITHS of its rights under these Conditions will be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to ITHS under these Conditions or otherwise.

6.15 If the Customer fails to pay ITHS any sum due pursuant to the Contract the Customer will, subject to clause 6.16, be liable to pay interest to ITHS on such sum from the due date for payment at an annual rate of 4% above the base lending rate of Royal Bank of Scotland plc from time to time accruing on a daily basis until payment is made in full (whether before or after any judgment).

6.16 As an alternative to its remedy in clause 6.15 ITHS reserves the right to claim interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.

6.17 Without prejudice to the provision of clauses 6.14 and 6.15 if the Customer fails or ITHS reasonably believes that the Customer will fail to pay for the Work or any other work under any other contract when due ITHS may:

(a) demand payment of all outstanding balances whether due or not under this Contract or any other contract between the Customer and ITHS;

(b) treat the Contract or any other contract between the Customer and ITHS as repudiated by the Customer;

(c) suspend any future performance of the Contract or any other contract between the Customer and ITHS until all overdue sums have been paid; or

(d) appropriate any payments made by the Customer to such of the Works (or such works supplied under any other contract between the Customer and ITHS) as ITHS may think fit (notwithstanding any purported appropriation by the Customer).

7 QUALITY

7.1 The Customer acknowledges that ITHS is not the manufacturer of the Goods and may not itself perform any or all of the Services and that ITHS’s expertise is in the sourcing of the Works only. The Customer acknowledges that as an intermediate supplier of the Goods ITHS only checks the external packaging of the Goods for obvious signs of damage and does not in any way inspect the quality or condition of the Goods themselves.

7.2 The Customer acknowledges that the manufacturer of the Works typically provides warranty assurances directly for the benefit of end users of the Works.

7.3 The Customer acknowledges that ITHS does not hold itself out as having any particular expertise in relation to the actual Works and the Customer agrees that it relies entirely on its own skill and judgment in evaluating the suitability and fitness of the Works for its purpose.

7.4 The Customer acknowledges that the prices charged by ITHS for the Works are based strictly on the quality assurances set out in this clause 7.

7.5 Based on the acknowledgements set out in this clause 7 ITHS will:

(a) use its reasonable Endeavour’s to transfer to the Customer the benefit of any warranty or guarantee given to ITHS;

(b) comply with its returns policy as set out in clause 8; and

(c) (where ITHS itself performs the Services rather than procuring a third party to perform the Services to the Customer on behalf of ITHS) perform the Services with reasonable skill and care.

7.6 The Customer agrees that ITHS will not (subject to clauses 7.5 and 9.1) be responsible for or give any warranties in relation to the quality or suitability of the Works and that provided ITHS complies with the provisions of clause 7.5 ITHS will (subject to clause 9.2) have no further liability (in contract, tort (including but not limited to negligence) or otherwise) for any quality or suitability claims in relation to the Works.

7.7 All new retail products sold by ITHS are eligible for an extension of warranty or SmartNet at point of sale. However, if a manufacturer is to block a serial, deny or cancel a SmartNet or extension of warranty contract at a later date then the customer agrees that ITHS Ltd will not be liable for any costs incurred and may refuse to take the hardware back.

8 RETURNS POLICY

8.1 Any Goods to be returned by the Customer to ITHS will only be dealt with by ITHS in accordance with the provisions set out in this clause 8.

8.2 Where the Customer wishes to return any Goods (for any reason) the Customer should first contact its account manager at ITHS. Should the problem not be resolved to the Customer’s satisfaction the Customer should contact ITHS’s technician services customer returns desk (details of which are available at www.ithsltd.com or through the Customer’s usual contact at ITHS) who will ask the Customer to provide the information requested in the customers returns request form (details of which are available at www.ithsltd.com or through the Customer’s usual contact at ITHS) which can be sent to ITHS by fax, e-mail, hard copy or online. The Customer acknowledges that delays will occur in cases where any of the requested information is not provided.

8.3 Returns Merchandise Authorization (“RMA”). An RMA number must be obtained from the ITHS technical services customer returns desk before any return will be processed in accordance with this clause 8. Goods returned without a valid RMA number are likely to be rejected by ITHS. RMA numbers are valid for 10 days from the date of issue. If the Goods are not returned within 10 days the RMA will be cancelled and a new RMA number must be requested if the Customer still wishes to return the Goods. When preparing the Goods for return the Customer must ensure that the RMA number is clearly visible on a label on the outer covering.

8.4 Incorrectly Ordered Goods. Incorrectly ordered Goods are the responsibility of the Customer. The Customer acknowledges that ITHS is under no obligation to accept the return of incorrectly ordered Goods.

8.5 Returns Due to Later Delivery. Returns due to late delivery must be requested by fax or e-mail within 24 hours of the due delivery date. The original purchase order must contain details of any cut-off delivery date and ITHS must agree in writing that a deadline for delivery had been accepted by ITHS. If ITHS has accepted such deadline ITHS will at its own cost arrange for the collection of goods falling into this category.

8.6 Defective On Arrival (“DOA”) Goods. DOA Goods are those found to have a fault on delivery. The fact that there is a fault must be confirmed by someone with technical knowledge and the Customer must provide as much specific technical detail as is reasonably possible. DOA Goods must be notified within 7 days of delivery of the Goods in order to qualify for credit or replacement (at ITHS’s option and in ITHS’s absolute discretion). The packaging of the Goods must be in pristine condition otherwise the Customer will be subject to a minimum 20% handling/restocking fee. The freight cost of returning the Goods to ITHS will be the responsibility of the Customer. ITHS will meet the reasonable costs of returning replacement Goods (as appropriate) to the Customer and also any carriage costs incurred in sorting the problem out.

8.7 No Defect Found (“NDF”). If Goods are returned and are found to be of NDF status a handling/restocking fee of at least 20% will be invoiced. The percentage charged will depend on amongst other things the amount of labour involved and the condition of the packaging and contents and ITHS reserves the right to insist on a purchase order covering this cost and the return freight cost before returning the Goods.

8.8 Goods Returned Not In Original Condition. Goods returned where the packaging and/or contents is found not to be in its original condition are likely to be rejected on arrival. Should ITHS agree to accept such Goods (in its absolute discretion) ITHS reserves the right to impose a handling/re-stocking fee of at least 20% of the original sale value of the Goods. Should items be damaged in transit during its return to ITHS it is the responsibility of the Customer (and not ITHS) to take this matter up with the carriers.

8.9 Packaging and Labeling. Where possible, the packaging of the Goods being returned should be protected by using an outer cover. The Customer should not write on, or attach labels, to the packaging itself if this can be avoided. When preparing the Goods for return the Customer should ensure that the RMA number is easily visible on a label on the outer covering.

8.10 Overdue Accounts. No returns will be accepted from any Customer whose account is overdue.

8.11 ITHS will not be obliged to comply with any of the provisions in this clause 8 unless

(a) (where the Goods are faulty and the fault is apparent on reasonable inspection) the Customer gives written notice of the fault to ITHS within 7 days of the date of delivery of the Goods; and

(b) (where the Goods are faulty and fault is not apparent on reasonable inspection) the Customer gives written notice of the fault to ITHS within 7 days of the date when the Customer discovers or ought reasonably to have discovered the fault.

8.12 Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause 8 if the Goods are found to be faulty but:

(a) the fault arises as a result of the Customer’s negligence;

(b) the fault arises as a result of fair wear and tear or abnormal working conditions;

(c) the fault arises as a result of any misuse, physical damage (including but not limited to dropping, spillage or foreign objects) or accident (unless ITHS is directly responsible for such);

(d) the Customer makes any further use of the Goods after giving written notice of a fault;

(e) the fault arises because the Customer has failed to follow ITHS’s or the manufacturers instructions (whether oral or in writing) as to the storage, assembly, use, handling or maintenance of the Goods or (if there are none) good trade practice;

(f) the fault arises as a result of any testing or commissioning of the Goods performed by the Customer or any third party;

(g) the fault arises as a result of any alteration, servicing or repair of the Goods not made by ITHS; or

(h) the Customer acknowledges that the Contract states that the Goods are sold in their actual state without warranty then the Customer acknowledges that ITHS is not obliged to comply with its obligations under this clause 8, that ITHS reserves the right to apply a reasonable labour charge to the Customer without completing any repair and ITHS reserves the right to retain the Goods until a purchase order is received covering the labour charge and the return freight cost.

9 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

9.1 All warranties, conditions and other terms implied by statute or common law (except for the conditions implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 but subject always to the provisions of clause 12.2)) are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.
