Please read these terms and conditions carefully before submitting your order to us. The Customer’s attention is drawn in particular to the provisions of clause 9.
- Basis of contract
- These terms and conditions apply to the agreement to the exclusion of any other terms that the Purchaser seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by law, trade custom, practice or course of dealing.
- Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter or advertising produced or supplied by Site Pro and any descriptions or illustrations contained in Site Pro catalogues or brochures are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Equipment referred to in them. They shall not form a part of the agreement nor have any contractual force. Site Pro reserves the right to amend the published specification of the Equipment without notice.
- The order constitutes an offer by the Purchaser to purchase the Equipment in accordance with this agreement. The Purchaser is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the order and any applicable specification are complete and accurate. If the Purchaser wishes to rely on any amendment or addition to the agreement, this must be confirmed in writing by one of Site pro duly authorised representatives.
- The order shall only be deemed to be accepted when Site Pro signs the agreement, at which point the agreement will come into existence.
- A quotation for the Equipment given by Site Pro shall not constitute an offer. A quotation shall only be valid for a period of 30 Business Days from its date of issue.

- Equipment sold as seen
- The details of the Equipment in the Contract Details are given only for the purposes of identifying the Equipment and do not make this agreement a sale by description.
- The Equipment is sold “as seen”. Site Pro makes no representations and gives no warranties as to the quality, condition, state or description of the Equipment, or their fitness or suitability for any purpose.

- All sums payable to Site Pro under this agreement shall be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
- The time for payment is of the essence. Payment will only be affected when Site Pro receives the Purchase Price in cleared funds. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy that it may have, if the Purchaser fails to pay Site Pro any sum due under this agreement on the due date then the Purchaser shall pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment.

- If the Purchaser fails to take delivery of the Equipment when due, Site pro may charge reasonable costs of storage from the Delivery Date until delivery is completed.

- Delivery is completed on the completion of unloading of the Equipment at the Delivery Location.
- Upon delivery and unloading of the Equipment to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall inspect the Equipment and sign an acknowledgement of receipt in Site Pro standard form (from time-to-time).
- Title and risk
- The risk of damage to or loss of the Equipment shall pass to the Purchaser on completion of delivery.
- The title to the Equipment shall pass to the Purchaser only on payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) of the Purchase Price.
- Until title to the Equipment has passed to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall:

- provide Site Pro promptly with such information and records as Site Pro may reasonably request concerning the Purchaser’s ongoing financial position.
- Site Pro may recover Equipment in which title has not passed to the Purchaser.
