We will only agree to sell Products to you subject to their availability, and accordingly the Contract may be cancelled by us in writing (without liability to you) if products cannot, within a reasonable period, be acquired by us for resale to you.

1.3 We may, prior to accepting any order, carry out a credit check, and then will only accept your order if we are satisfied with the results of such a check. You confirm that you are happy for us to carry out such a check. You agree that we may also use personal information provided by you in order to conduct appropriate anti-fraud checks. You understand that information, including personal information, that you provide may be disclosed to a credit reference or fraud prevention agency, which may keep a record of that information.

1.4 These terms and conditions may only be modified by a written variation signed by one of our directors. No other action by us (including delivery of Products) is to be construed as our acceptance of any other terms and conditions.

1.5 Subject to 3.3, these terms and conditions together with any matters referred to on our quotation or order acknowledgement (as appropriate) embody the entire understanding of the parties and supersede any prior promises, representations, undertakings or implications.

1.6 Any omission or error in any sales literature, web page or site, order form, quotation, price list, order acknowledgement, dispatch note, invoice or other document (whether written, oral or in electronic form) issued by us may be corrected by us without liability.

1.7 The provisions of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 and all non-mandatory provisions of the Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002 are expressly excluded from the Contract.

1.8 Clause headings are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these conditions. Reference in these conditions to a statutory provision will be construed as a reference to that provision as amended, re-enacted or extended at the relevant time. Words in the singular include the plural and vice versa.

1.9 The carrying out by us of any support and maintenance of Goods will be governed by our standard support terms (available at: www.Jigsaw24.com/support-offer-terms-conditions) to the exclusion of any other terms.

2. Warranty

2.1 We warrant that Goods will at the time of delivery be free from defects in workmanship and materials and correspond in all material respects with the relevant product specification. If any Goods do not conform to this warranty then we will at our option either remedy the defect in question, replace the defective Goods or refund the price of the defective Goods. This remedy is the only remedy available to you for a breach of this warranty and is only available on condition that:

• 2.1.1  you notify us in writing of the defect within 7 days of delivery or, in the case of defects not apparent on reasonable inspection, within 3 months of delivery;
• 2.1.2 defective Goods are returned to us within 7 days of written notification referred to in condition 2.1.1 or, in the case of defects not apparent on reasonable inspection, within 3 months of delivery; and
• 2.1.3 our examination of defective Goods at our premises discloses to our satisfaction that the defect has not been caused by (a) your misuse, neglect, failure or inadequate maintenance, accident, improper storage, installation or handling, or (b) repair or alteration by a third party,

you will refund to us the cost of any such examination where the remedy referred to under this condition is not available together with, at our option and discretion, a restocking fee of up to 20% of the price of the Goods in order to cover our reasonable administrative expenses only.

2.2 We will so far as we are reasonably able pass on to you the benefit of all warranties received by us from the manufacturer of the products but we do not guarantee this, unless otherwise expressly stated.

2.3 Where Goods are returned under condition 2.1 we will bear the cost of delivering any repaired or replacement Goods to you (subject to levy of any repacking fee due under condition 2.4) and will, where you have returned Goods to us within 14 days of delivery, reimburse your reasonable postage costs in returning the Goods where the method of postage has been agreed in advance. We will not be liable for any delivery costs where no remedy is available under condition 2.1. We recommend that you obtain insurance equivalent to the cost of the Goods when returning. We cannot be responsible for returns not received.

2.4 Goods returned by you to us for any reason must be returned in their original packaging in substantially the same condition as they were delivered to you and must bear a return identification number clearly visible on the exterior (such number to be obtained from us prior to return of Goods by you). We will not accept liability for Goods returned without such identification number. We may charge a reasonable fee for repackaging Goods returned to us in a poorly packaged state due to damage or misuse.

2.5 Software (and its use) will be subject to the terms of the manufacturer’s licence contained within the software itself (and accessed upon loading) or within or upon the packaging of the software. Such licence will state the extent of the manufacturer’s liability for the software. We cannot accept any liability whatsoever for any defect or error in the same other than where this has been caused by our negligence or default.

2.6 We will supply any Support Services which you purchase from us with reasonable skill and care and in accordance with the written specification which we have provided to you for those Support Services.

2.7 If the Support Services which you purchase from us are not in accordance with clause 2.6, above, or do not do what we say in Writing that they will do, you should notify us in Writing within 28 days of their supply or within a reasonable time from their supply for defects which are not apparent to you following supply of the Support Services. If the Support Services are not in compliance with clause 2.6, above, or do not do what we say in Writing that they will do, we will either remedy the defect in question, re-supply the defective Support Services or refund the price (or the part of the price) of the defective Support Services (or part or the Support Services). This warranty does not apply to Software, which is dealt with at condition 2.5, above.

4.2 Prices quoted by us are, unless otherwise stated, exclusive of (a) value added tax or any similar taxes, levies or duties, (b) the costs of carriage, delivery, packaging and insurance, and (c) our handling charges, all of which will be added to or charged on invoices at the appropriate rates and paid by you.

5. Payment

5.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, you must pay for Products (and any Support Services ordered by you) prior to the dispatch of the Products to you by such means as we may notify you of. Where the Products and/or Support Services are supplied on credit terms granted at our discretion, payment will be made by you by the end of the month following our invoice date. Payment by cheque is at our discretion and will be deemed to have been made only upon such cheque being met on first presentation.

5.2 Where any payment to be made by you under the Contract is not made by its due date then, without prejudice to our other rights and remedies, we may:

• 5.2.1 charge interest at a rate of 4% above the base rate of the Bank of England on the outstanding amount (as well after as before judgment) on a day to day basis from time to time applicable until the sum due is paid; or
• 5.2.2 withhold further deliveries, suspend performance of the Contract and/or withhold guarantees on previously supplied Products until arrangements as to payment or credit have been established on terms which are satisfactory to us.

5.3 Where Products are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery constitutes a separate contract and failure by us to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these conditions or any claim by you in respect of any one or more instalments will not entitle you to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.

6. Delivery

6.1 Delivery of Products shall be made by us to the place designated by you in the accepted order or quotation, as appropriate. Delivery will be made during normal business hours. The Support Services (if applicable) shall be delivered in accordance with clause 12, below.

6.2 Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, any delivery date or time specified by us in any quotation, dispatch note or otherwise is a best estimate only and we will not be liable to you for any loss or damage sustained by you as a result of our failure to comply with such timescale.

6.3 If you pass or have a resolution passed for your winding up, a receiver is appointed over the whole or any part of your undertaking, an administration order is made against you, you enter into or propose to enter into any arrangement with your creditors, become unable to pay your debts (or have no reasonable prospect of so doing), suffer a bankruptcy order or commit a material breach of the Contract, then we may without prejudice to any other right immediately terminate the Contract, suspend or cancel further delivery and/or recover Products from you for which payment in full has not been received.

7. Risk and title

7.1 Risk in Products shall pass to you upon delivery.

7.2 Title to Software shall not pass to you. Title to Goods shall not pass to you until their full price and the price of any other goods which are the subject of any other contract between you and us has been paid. Until title passes, Goods shall be:

• 7.2.1  stored by you at your premises in such a manner that they are clearly identifiable as being our property and be kept separate from any other    goods whether or not supplied by us;
• 7.2.2 handed over to us on demand. We may re-take possession of such Goods and may enter onto your premises for such purpose.

7.3 If you fail to pay for any Products in accordance with these conditions we may bring action against you for the price of the Products at any time notwithstanding that title in Products has not passed to you.

 8. Damage or loss in transit

8.1 We shall repair or replace, free of charge, any Goods damaged or lost in transit where delivery has been made by our carrier, provided that you give us written notification of such damage or loss within 14 days of the date of the order being dispatched from Jigsaw24, pending an internal investigation by our chosen courier.  

8.2 If an order has been damaged, tampered with or partly received please make sure that the goods are kept securely at the delivery address so that our courier can make an onsite inspection. Any movement of the consignment away from the place of delivery (that isn’t authorised by Jigsaw24) may void the transit claim with our chosen courier and will result in a repair/replacement not being issued.  

8.3 Depending on the courier that is used for each delivery and the nature of the investigation, investigations times can take up to 30 days to be completed. We will keep you updated throughout the whole process but the final decision has been made until the courier investigation has been completed.  
 

9. Apparent defects

9.1 If the quantity of Products delivered does not correspond with the quantity required to be delivered in that consignment you may not reject that consignment and may only:

• 9.1.1  (if the quantity delivered exceeds the contract quantity) return the excess or retain the whole, in which latter case the price shall be adjusted at the contract rate then prevailing; or
• 9.1.2 (if the quantity delivered is less than the contact quantity) require a further delivery of Products to make up the deficiency or (at our option) a refund of the appropriate part of the purchase price.

9.2 These rights are only available however where condition 2.1 is also satisfied.

9.3 You shall have no claim for the fact that Products delivered are of the wrong description unless condition 2.1 is also satisfied.

10. Installation

Notwithstanding that we may be contractually committed to install and/or commission Products, Products shall be treated as delivered to you when the same are presented by us at the agreed delivery destination.

11. Specification

11.1 All drawings, photographs, illustrations, specifications, performance data, dimensions and the like used by us in sales literature, on web pages or other documentation have been provided by us in the belief that they are accurate. However, they do not constitute a description of the Products, shall not be taken to be representations made by us and are not warranted to be accurate.

11.2 The specification for Products may be changed by the manufacturer at any time up to delivery and provided such change does not materially alter the functionality of Products you may not cancel your order. We will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered in connection with any change.
