2.2 No terms or conditions endorsed on, delivered with or contained in the Buyers sales order, confirmation of order, specification or other document shall form part of the Contract simply as a result of such document being referred to in the Contract.

2.3 These terms and conditions apply to all Printed Pack’s sales -) and any variation to these terms and conditions and any representations about the Goods and Services shall have no effect unless expressly agreed in writing and signed by a director of Printed Pack. The Buyer acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of Printed Pack, which is not set out in the contract. Nothing in this condition shall exclude or limit Printed Pack’s liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.

2.4 Each order or acceptance of a quotation for Goods by the Buyer from Printed Pack shall be deemed to be an offer by the Buyer to buy Goods subject to these conditions.

2.5 No order placed by the Buyer shall be deemed to be accepted by Printed Pack until a written acknowledgement of the Sales Order is issued by Printed Pack.

2.6 The Buyer shall ensure that the terms of its order and any applicable specification as set out in Schedules 1 and 2 are complete and accurate and meets its requirements
2.7 For the avoidance of doubt, the process for entering into a contract is as follows:

2.7.1 The Buyer specifies to Printed Pack the goods it wishes to order from Printed Pack.

2.7.2 Printed Pack provides a quotation to the Buyer in accordance with the Buyer’s requirements. Any quotation is valid for a period of 30 days only from its date, provided that Printed Pack has not previously withdrawn it. Any quotation is given on the basis that no Contract shall come into existence until Printed Pack accepts an order by issuing a pro forma invoice to the Buyer.

2.7.3 The Buyer approves or rejects the quotation.

2.7.4 The Buyer completes the Artwork Approval Form (if appropriate) and approves via email. It may also be accompanied or superseded by the Customer purchase order. As long as the contents of the Client purchase order matches the contents (e.g. description of goods, value, quantity) of the Printed Pack sales order then the client purchase order will be accepted along with the Client terms printed on that order (or signed by a Printed Pack Director in a separate document provided by the Client) not withstanding specific terms which Printed Pack has highlighted in writing as not being accepted for orders placed with Printed Pack. In the event that the Printed Pack sales order is not signed and dated by the Client it may be approved instead in writing by email or fax or post by referring to the order number but the goods and/or services will then be provided exactly as stated on the sales order with no recourse. 2.7.5 Printed Pack will, if it decides to accept the Buyer’s order, which comes prior to a Printed Pack Sales Order, send an Acknowledgement by way of Sales Order at which the parties have entered into point a Contract.

3.1 The quantity of the Goods shall be as set out in Printed Pack’s quotation and reconfirmed in the Sales Order and the acknowledgement of Sales Order. The quantity delivered may be up to 20% less or more depending on the goods (refer to the sales order for +/- specific variances if different to this figure).

3.2 The Buyer acknowledges that by signing the Artwork Approval Form it will be deemed to have checked and agreed all relevant aspects including the samples, artwork, layout, proof and/or material swatch and production method according to that Approval Form. The Approval Form shall form part of the Contract. 3.3 If the Buyer wishes to place a repeat order of the Goods, it must sign and date or refer to in writing a new Sales Order for each repeat order which should in its description refer back to the sales order number of the previous order. Each and every sample may incur a charge as set out in the quotation. Some slight colour and/or board variations in the Goods may occur in repeat orders and Printed Pack will endeavor to advise the Buyer where this occurs. In signing the further Artwork Approval Form the Buyer acknowledges and accepts that on repeat orders some slight colour and/or board variations in the Goods may occur and that Printed Pack shall not be liable for any such variation.

4. DELIVERY

4.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Printed Pack on the sales order, delivery of the Goods shall take place at the Invoice Address. The Delivery Charge indicated on the Sales Order will apply and the Buyer will be responsible for any and all insurance during transit charges above the Printed Pack standard claim rates of £1 per kilo weight for damaged, unusable or lost goods in transit.

When goods are delivered, you will be asked to sign a receipt by the Carrier. You MUST count the quantity and check the condition of the parcel (s) against the quantity you are signing for as under delivery and damaged exterior packaging affecting the quality of the contents cannot be claimed after a signature has been received. Deliveries that are late or damaged due to Carrier error cannot be recovered from the Printed Pack by the Buyer for more than £1 per kilo unless an additional storage and transit sales order has been signed and dated by the Customer).It is the Customer’s responsibility to advise us to quote and then accept the quotation for additional insurance before the goods leave to cover the value of the goods if so required.

4.4 If for any reason the Buyer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods when they are ready for delivery, or Printed Pack is unable to deliver the Goods on time because the Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licenses or authorisations: (a) Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer (including for loss or damage caused by Printed Pack’s negligence); (b) The Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (c) Printed Pack may store the Goods until delivery, at the standard storage charge of £12.00 (plus VAT) per pallet (or part thereof) day, whereupon the Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses including insurance.
