Contract

The Contract shall be on these Terms and Conditions to the exclusion of any other terms that the Buyer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing. These Terms and Conditions apply to all Puffin Packaging Ltd's sales and any variation to these Terms and Conditions and any representations about the Products shall have no effect unless expressly agreed in writing and signed by one of Puffin Packaging Ltd's directors. Each order or acceptance of a quotation for Products by the Buyer from Puffin Packaging Ltd shall be deemed to be an offer by the Buyer to buy Products subject to these Terms and Conditions.

No order placed by the Buyer shall be deemed to be accepted by Puffin Packaging Ltd until a written acknowledgement of order is issued by Puffin Packaging Ltd or (if earlier) Puffin Packaging Ltd delivers the Products to the Buyer.

The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. The Customer acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance or warranty made or given by or on behalf of Puffin Packaging Ltd which is not set out in the Contract.

A quotation for the Products given by Puffin Packaging Ltd shall not constitute an offer. A quotation shall only be valid for a period of 30 days from its date of issue.

All implied conditions and warranties and other terms whether implied by statute or at common law or otherwise and whether as to quality, fitness for purpose, performance, merchantability or otherwise in relation to the Products and to the sale or supply thereof by Puffin Packaging Ltd are to the fullest extent permitted by law excluded.

Description & Specification

The quantity and description of the Products shall be as set out in Puffin Packaging Ltd's quotation or acknowledgement of order.

All samples, drawings, descriptive matter, specifications and advertising issued by Puffin Packaging Ltd and any descriptions or illustrations contained in Puffin Packaging Ltd's catalogues or brochures are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Products described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract and this is not a sale by sample.

Puffin Packaging Ltd reserve the right to make any changes in the specifications of the Products that are necessary to ensure they conform to any applicable safety or statutory requirements and to make without notice any minor modifications in the specifications Puffin Packaging Ltd thinks are necessary or desirable.

Delivery

Any dates specified by Puffin Packaging Ltd for delivery of the Products 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 shall be within a reasonable time.

Puffin Packaging Ltd will deliver the Products to the Buyer’s delivery address stated on the quotation or order confirmation. Puffin Packaging Ltd shall be entitled to deliver the Products in instalments.

Unless otherwise agreed, delivery of the Products shall take place at the Buyer’s delivery address but where the Products are collected by the Buyer or the Buyer’s carrier, delivery shall be deemed to have taken place at the time of collection which for the avoidance of doubt will be prior to the time that the Products are loaded onto the Buyer’s or carrier’s vehicle.

(b) Puffin Packaging Ltd may charge the Buyer for the reasonable costs (including without limitation insurance and further delivery charges) of the Products until delivery can take place.

Non-Delivery

Puffin Packaging Ltd shall not be liable for any non-delivery of Products (even if caused by Puffin Packaging Ltd's negligence) unless the Buyer gives written notice to Puffin Packaging Ltd. of the non-delivery within 8 days of the date when the Products would in the ordinary course of events have been received.

Any liability of Puffin Packaging Ltd for non-delivery of the Products shall be limited to replacing the Products within a reasonable time.

Risk / Title

The Products are at the risk of the Buyer from the time of delivery if the Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Products, the time when Puffin Packaging Ltd has tendered delivery of the Products.

Notwithstanding delivery and passing of risk, property in and title to the Products shall remain with Puffin Packaging Ltd until Puffin Packaging Ltd has received payment in cash or cleared funds from the Buyer.

Price & Payment

​Unless otherwise agreed by Puffin Packaging Ltd in writing, the price for the Products shall be the price set out in Puffin Packaging Ltd's quotation which incorporates these Terms and Conditions.

The price for the Products shall be exclusive of any value added tax which the Buyer shall pay in addition when it is due to pay for the Products.

Unless otherwise agreed, all prices exclude the cost of delivery.

The Buyer is to pay Puffin Packaging Ltd in cleared funds prior to delivery of the Products.

(b)  Puffin Packaging Ltd shall not be liable to the Buyer for loss of profit, loss of business, or depletion of goodwill in each case whether direct, indirect or consequential, or any claims for consequential compensation whatsoever (howsoever caused) which arise out of or in connection with the Contract.

General

A person who is not a party to the Contract shall not have any rights to enforce its terms.

Any notice required or permitted to be given by either party to the other under these Terms and Conditions shall be in writing addressed to that other party at its registered office or principal place of business or such other address as may at the relevant time have been notified pursuant to this provision to the party giving the notice.

If any of the terms are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
