2. Application of Terms

Subject to any variation permitted under this condition 2, the Contract will be on these Conditions to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions (including any terms or conditions which the Buyer purports to apply under any purchase order, confirmation of order, specification or other document). The Buyer acknowledges that no representations have been made or relied upon other than those expressly set out herein.

No terms or conditions endorsed upon, delivered with or contained in the Buyer’s purchase order, confirmation of order, specification or other document will form part of the Contract simply as a result of such document being referred to in the Contract.

These conditions apply to all New Pig’s sales and any variation to these Conditions and any representations about the Goods shall have no effect unless expressly agreed in writing and signed by a director of New Pig.

Each order for Goods by the Buyer from New Pig shall be deemed to be an offer by the Buyer to purchase Goods subject to these Conditions and an order shall not be deemed to have been withdrawn unless New Pig acknowledges the withdrawal in writing and the Buyer shall be liable for all costs, expenses or other losses suffered by the Seller due to the withdrawal by the Buyer of any such order.

No order placed by the Buyer shall be deemed to be accepted by New Pig until a written acceptance of order is issued by New Pig or (if earlier) New Pig delivers the Goods to the Buyer (or allows the Buyer to uplift the Goods in the case of collection by the Buyer).

The Buyer must ensure that the terms of its order and any applicable specification are complete and accurate.

Any quotation is given on the basis that no contract will come into existence until New Pig despatches an acknowledgement of order to the Buyer. Any quotation is valid for a period of 60 days only from its date, provided that New Pig has not previously withdrawn it.

Any typographical, clerical or other error or omission in any sales literature, website, quotation, price list, acceptance of offer, invoice or other document or information issued by New Pig (whether in electronic format or otherwise) shall be subject to correction without any liability on New Pig’s part.

3. Description

The description, packaging and specification of the Goods shall be as set out in New Pig’s current website and catalogues and marketing material (whether in electronic format or otherwise), subject to any changes in design, specification or form from time to time introduced by New Pig in its discretion.

All drawings, descriptive matter, specifications and advertising issued by New Pig and any descriptions or illustrations are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods described in them for guidance only, and will not form part of the Contract.

4. Delivery & Collection

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by New Pig, delivery of the Goods shall take place at the Buyer’s United Kingdom address as intimated in the Buyer’s order for Goods (or at New Pig’s premises in the case of Buyer collection).

New Pig will not be able to process orders or facilitate collection of Goods on UK Bank Holidays, Saturdays and Sundays. Saturday deliveries may be available upon request, subject to carrier restrictions and availability.

Any “non-stocked”, “supplier delivered” or “special order” Goods, not held in stock by New Pig, will be highlighted to the Buyer at time of order. Where possible, part-delivery/collection will be arranged.

The Buyer will provide at its expense at the Delivery Point adequate and appropriate equipment and manual labour for unloading the Goods.

New Pig only delivers products to buyers in the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Scottish Islands and will not deliver to box numbers whether Post Office or British Forces Post Office.

Delivery shall normally be completed by one person (the driver) up to the vehicle tailgate only unless New Pig agrees otherwise in writing with the Customer). The Buyer is responsible for ensuring that adequate vehicular access is available to its desired Delivery Point. For the avoidance of doubt, delivery to the ‘Delivery Address’ means New Pig’s carrier or driver will deliver only to the postal address provided there is a suitable road to the point where delivery is requested. If no such road exists, delivery shall be made to the nearest point at which, in the driver’s opinion, the vehicle can safely and lawfully unload. New Pig’s carrier is not obliged to deliver orders to a particular part of a property or location within the property at the Delivery Address.

Any dates specified by New Pig for delivery of the Goods are intended to be an estimate and time for delivery shall not be made of the essence by notice. If no dates are so specified, delivery will be within a reasonable time.

Delivery charges, timescales and restrictions vary depending on the type of Goods ordered, the service selected by the Buyer and the Delivery Address. Further information on New Pig’s delivery charges and restrictions can be obtained by calling 0800 919 900 or visiting Delivery information page.

Subject to the other provisions of these Conditions New Pig will not be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss (all three of which terms include, without limitation, loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and like loss), costs, damages, charges or expenses caused directly or indirectly by any delay or default in the delivery of the Goods (even if caused by New Pig’s negligence), nor will any delay entitle the Buyer to terminate or rescind the Contract unless such delay exceeds 180 days.

If for any reason the Buyer will not accept delivery, or New Pig is unable to deliver the Goods on time because the Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licences or authorisations, New Pig may in its discretion deem:

New Pig reserves the right to deliver by way of instalments. Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate agreement and any failure to deliver any one or more of the instalments, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, or any claim by the Buyer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle it to treat any agreement as a whole as repudiated.

In the case of orders for collection by the Buyer, New Pig will contact the Buyer to confirm when the Goods are available for collection.

Goods may usually be collected by the Buyer between the hours of 08:45 until 17:30, Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays) from New Pig’s premises at Hogs Hill, Watt Place, Hamilton International Technology Park, Blantyre, Glasgow, G72 0AH.

It is the Buyer’s responsibility to provide the appropriate vehicle to collect the Goods. If the Buyer is unable to complete the collection on the agreed date, then New Pig shall be entitled to place the Goods in storage until such times as collection or delivery may be effected and the Buyer shall be liable for any expense associated with such storage or delivery. Goods will be reserved for 10 working days from the date on which all stocked Goods subject to the Contract become available for collection. If the Buyer has not collected the Goods by the expiry of this period New Pig may at its discretion treat such order as cancelled.

5. Non-Delivery

The quantity of any consignment of Goods as recorded by New Pig upon despatch or collection (as the case may be) from New Pig’s place of business shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity received by the Buyer on delivery unless the Buyer can provide evidence proving the contrary in terms satisfactory to New Pig.

New Pig shall not be liable for any non-delivery of Goods (even if caused by New Pig’s negligence) unless written notice is given to New Pig within 7 days of the date when the Goods would, in the ordinary course of events, have been received.

Any liability of New Pig for non-delivery of the Goods shall be limited to replacing the Goods within a reasonable time or issuing a credit note at the pro rata Contract rate against any invoice raised for such Goods.

6. Risk & Title

6.1 The Goods are at the risk of the Buyer from the time of delivery (or collection). Ownership of the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until New Pig has received in full (in cash or cleared funds) all sums due to it in respect of:

6.2 Until title in the Goods does pass to the Buyer then (without prejudice to the Buyer’s right to resell the Goods in the ordinary course of business), the Buyer shall keep the Goods separate from its own Goods and the Goods of others and clearly marked or identified as being the property of New Pig and shall ensure that the Goods are kept safe, secure and insured.

For as long as the Goods have not been resold by the Buyer in the ordinary course of business and title in the Goods has not passed to the Buyer, New Pig may at any time retake possession of the Goods in such way as it thinks fit, including entering any premises of the Buyer where the Goods are to remove them. This right to retake possession shall apply whether or not the Buyer is or is deemed to be insolvent or otherwise.

7. Price

Unless otherwise agreed by New Pig in writing the price for the Goods shall be the price set out in New Pig’s website, catalogue, price list or other marketing material current on the date of the order and such price is, up to that date, subject to alteration without notice although we will make every reasonable effort to maintain quoted prices.

If it is not possible to obtain the full payment for the Goods from the details provided then the Contract shall be cancelled by New Pig and any further deliveries suspended.

By using a credit or debit card to pay for Goods, the Buyer confirms the card being used is theirs or that it is authorised to use it.

All credit and debit card holders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer.

New Pig are not responsible for the card issuer or bank charging the Buyer’s card as a result of New Pig’s processing of the Buyer’s credit or debit card payment in accordance with its order.

New Pig recommends that Buyers do not communicate payment card details to anyone, including New Pig, via email or other electronic means. New Pig cannot be responsible for any losses the Buyer may incur in transmitting information to them by internet link or email. Any such loss, in its entirety, shall be the Buyer’s responsibility.

If the Buyer exceeds the stated credit limit New Pig shall be entitled to suspend performance of all its obligations hereunder without liability to the Buyer to the fullest extent permitted by relevant law.

If the Buyer holds a credit account with New Pig, unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment of the price for the Goods, value added tax and any other applicable costs, is due on the last working day of the month following the month in which the Goods are delivered, subject to approved credit terms, or deemed to be delivered, and all payments payable to New Pig under the Contract shall become due immediately upon termination of this Contract despite any other provision.. Time for payment shall be of the essence, and no payment shall be deemed to have been received until New Pig has received cleared funds.

If the Buyer fails to pay New Pig any sum due pursuant to the Contract the Buyer will:

New Pig reserves the right to require the Buyer to pay a deposit or make a full payment for any Goods ordered prior to delivery.

The format of invoices and statements to the Buyer will solely be dictated by New Pig.

Any liability of New Pig under the Contract shall be subject to and conditional upon the due performance and observance by the Buyer of all its obligations under these conditions, and subject to these conditions, the Buyer shall make all payments due under the Contract without any deduction whether by way of set-off, counterclaim, discount, abatement or otherwise unless the Buyer has a valid court order requiring an amount equal to such deduction to be paid by New Pig to the Buyer.
