- “Goods” means the goods and /or services including any parts of them that the Seller is to supply in accordance with these conditions
- “Seller” means Singularity UK Holdings Limited or any subsidiary of this company
- The headings in these Conditions are for ease of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation
1. General
The following terms represent the entire terms on which Seller is willing to sell Goods and by placing an order with Seller Buyer agrees that the following terms represent the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller and that these terms shall apply to the exclusion of any previous terms and conditions supplied by Seller; Buyer’s own terms and conditions; any pre-contractual statement or any other terms of whatsoever nature not contained herein. No Officer, employee or agent of Seller (other than a Director) has authority to contract for the sale of Goods on any other terms, or to amend, vary or waive these terms, and a Director has authority to do so only in writing.
2. Time of Delivery
2.1 Any time of delivery stated by Seller shall be treated as an estimate only and the time of delivery is not of the essence. Seller will use its reasonable efforts to deliver by that time but gives no other undertaking as to the time of delivery.
2.2 For the avoidance of doubt Seller irrespective of whether or not any charge is made by it for shipping of the Goods specifically disclaims any and all responsibilities for delays caused by the actions of the shipper.
2.3 The Seller shall have no liability for any delay in delivery of the Goods or any failure to deliver the Goods where delivery has been delegated by the Seller to a third party delivery service “Common Carrier” and/or to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure event or Buyer’s failure to provide Seller with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of Goods.
2.4 If the Seller fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods.
3. Place of Delivery
The Goods shall be delivered to Buyer at the place of delivery recorded on the sales invoice or (if no such address is recorded there) at the premises of Seller.
4. Price
The price shall, unless Buyer has an established credit account with Seller, be payable in full on or before delivery of the Goods. Time of payment shall be of the essence. In the event that payment is not made when due, Seller may: –
4.1 cancel any contract to supply Goods,
4.2 suspend any Credit Terms, in which case all sums due to Seller from Buyer for Goods previously supplied shall become due and payable immediately,
4.3 charge interest at 8% above the base rate of The Bank of England plus any costs of collection. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the date payment was due until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. The Buyer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.
5. Title and Risk
5.1 All risk in the Goods shall pass to Buyer upon delivery to the Buyers delivery address.
5.2 Title to the Goods shall not pass to Buyer until Seller has received payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for any Goods delivered to the Buyer in respect of which payment has become due.

(a) store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Buyer so that they remain readily identifiable as the Seller’s property;
(b) maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery; and
(c) notify the Seller immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 11(c).
5.4 If before title to the Goods passes to the Buyer, the Buyer becomes subject to one of the events listed at 11(c), or the Seller reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen and notifies the Buyer accordingly, then, provided that the Goods have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product, and without limiting any other right or remedy the Seller may have, the Seller may at any time require the Buyer to deliver up the Goods and, if the Customer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Buyer or of any third party where the Seller reasonably believes the Goods are stored in order to recover them.
5.5 The above notwithstanding Seller when charging Buyer for delivery insures the goods for the benefit of Seller until they are delivered to Buyer’s delivery address. Buyer must notify Seller of any damage or shortage within 3 days of receipt. Any shortage or damage not notified will not be covered by Sellers insurance and shall be borne by Buyer
