USING YOUR OWN UK SHIPPING AGENT

If you have a shipping agent or freight forwarder in the UK, we can arrange goods delivery to them, but you will be charged UK VAT at the standard rate for delivery in the UK. If your agent or freight forwarder is AEO registered in the UK, then the UK VAT amount can be refunded to you on our receipt of (1) an export certificate confirming the goods have permanently been exported and (2) a related AWB with an itemised list of the goods and their serial numbers, and (3) provided these are received within 14 days of UK delivery. Our bank charges and any currency exchange difference will be deducted.


PAYMENT

Payment terms are 100% with order by Bank Transfer (TT / Wire) to be received in GBP, EUR or USD.

For customers in the USA, we can accept payment in US Dollars by US Domestic Wire Transfer, payments are usually received within 1-2 working days. Alternatively, you may also pay by Swift which can take 1-5 working days to receive.

Orders will be processed once our bank confirms cleared funds, whereupon the lead time advised in our Proforma Invoice will commence.

Wire Transfer:
Our SWIFT and IBAN bank details will be stated on the Proforma Invoice. For SWIFT transfers, our invoice is issued and payment is normally accepted in GBP £Sterling. If you prefer to pay in Euros or US Dollars please contact us first to be advised of our bank's mid-market exchange rate and the total amount to pay on that day. The sender is responsible for all bank charges. International SWIFT payments typically take 1-5 working days for our bank to confirm receipt.

Payments from a UK bank account by Online Banking FPS or CHAPS are usually received the same day or following day. Payments by BACS usually take 3 working days for receipt.

Where payment is made by international bank transfer of a higher value sum then, prior to processing of your order, our bankers may on some occasion require us to obtain from you documents confirming the source of the funds. If you are unable to provide required documents on request, then your order will be cancelled and payment returned less our incurred bank charges.

Card Payment:
Card payments are not accepted for international orders outside the UK (except at our discretion which can be made for customers from Ireland, the Channel Islands, government departments and known publicly listed companies).

If payment is agreed by us with a card not registered in the UK then, prior to shipping, we may require a Photo ID of the contact person, a photo of the front of the card, proof of address document showing the contact name and business address, and business registration details. Delivery can then only be made to that card billing address.


SHIPPING, LOCAL CHARGES & CUSTOMS CLEARANCE

You will be responsible for paying any local customs duties, vat / import tax and any forwarding or handling charges applied in your country or transit country.

Transit times quoted by us exclude customs clearance and onward forwarding - we do not have any control of the customs processing and clearance time by your local port authority or the shipping service contractor.

Where you request any additional documents from us for customs clearance beyond our standard form Commercial Invoice and beyond the documents provided by the manufacturer with the product and via the manufacturer's standard online resources, we may at our discretion refer you directly to the manufacturer for your request, or require payment of an administration fee to cover the time and cost of sourcing and providing any additional documents. Please note we cannot provide documents in any language other than English unless the manufacturer provides the same as part of the standard supply with the product.


DELIVERY ADDRESS MUST BE A BUSINESS ADDRESS

Where you have requested delivery, your delivery address must be a verifiable business address associated directly with the payor - we cannot deliver to a residential address, to a third-party or to a mailing address.


OUR RESPONSIBILITY

Once goods are collected from us on your behalf, delivered to your designated shipping agent or delivered to the designated port in your country, our responsibility shall end and you will become liable for the goods from thereon, including clearing them through your local customs port, local collection, paying any local handling and storage charges and satisfying any requirements imposed by your local customs authority.


LANGUAGE, POWER SUPPLY & COMPATIBILITY

Unless otherwise specified on the product profile page, products shipped by us will have English language interface, labelling and documentation (if any is included) and a UK specification power supply and power cable where applicable.

For orders of goods (including software) for use outside the UK, beyond any representation stated in the manufacturers documentation for the edition of the product we offer, we do not warrant that the goods we supply will be suitable for use in your country, even if we have advised you in good faith of our belief that they are suitable. You are solely responsible for determining suitability prior to making a purchase - whether related to electrical specification, language settings, weighing units, currency symbols, currency settings and maximum values supported, numeric rounding methods, screen or printed output format, headings or content, operating system, character set, certification, verification, legality of possession, legality of use within your jurisdiction, fiscal functionality or any other factor.


CANCELLATION, RETURNS & EXCHANGE POLICY

We will endeavour to ship the goods from the UK within the lead time stated on our Proforma Invoice, using the shipping contractor and service specified on our Proforma Invoice, and in any event no later than 28 days thereafter, failing which you may cancel your order for a refund.

Where extraordinary and unforeseen circumstances prevent our shipping contractor from delivering to your country or region, such as extreme weather, war, industrial action or other such unforeseen circumstance outside our reasonable control, then we will provide you with written confirmation from the shipping contractor and our time period for sending the goods will be extended accordingly until they are able to resume shipments to your country or region, or unless you wish to request our agreement for alternative arrangements for collection or delivery.

Except for the aforementioned conditions, for international orders outside the UK, goods are sold strictly on a non-cancellable, non-returnable, non-exchangeable basis.

 

SHORTAGES, TRANSIT DAMAGE & WARRANTY OUTSIDE THE UK

Where the manufacturers warranty applies in the event of any material fault during the warranty period (maximum 1 year), then this is on a Return to Base warranty and you would be responsible for the cost of return international shipping both ways after first registering an RMA request with us and then following our warranty repair procedure.

You must advise us in writing within 2 working days of delivery of any shortages or transit damage, with supporting details and photographs, so that we can arrange to send/replace as necessary and make any necessary insurance claim from the shipping contractor.
