Trading Terms and Conditions

We don’t believe in ‘small’ print so our terms are listed in readable large font.

You are strongly advised to read our Terms and Conditions of Business prior to placing your order.

If you have any questions relating to such, please email [email protected]

 

1.      Unless otherwise stated in writing by ourselves, orders are only accepted on the following terms and conditions. Where these terms and conditions are contrary to any stipulations of the buyer’s terms and conditions the following are deemed to have been accepted by the prospective buyer and take precedence over all other terms and conditions as governed under English Law.

2.      Written quotations, online prices and brochure prices are subject to our written confirmation on receipt of the buyer’s order and no contract shall be concluded until such written confirmation is given prior to commencement of manufacture.

3.      Our standard workshop rate for fabrication is £40 per hour.  Trade rates are negotiable.  Please ask for details.

4.      All prices are nett, ex delivery costs. For exports any customs, duty or local tax will be the responsibility of the buyer.

5.      Bespoke / Custom Work. A 25% non-refundable deposit is required for any Custom Work.  Please read clause 24 for our cancellation policy. We do not offer any static warranty period for custom work. We will, however, work with yourself to rectify any issues that may arise after the work has left our premises. Please read clause 17.

6.      Workshop Storage.

Vehicles stored within our workshop that are mobile but we are unable to enter or move due (such as not having the keys in our possession) will be chargeable at a £5 per day rate. Maximum chargeable rate will be no more than £25 a week.  Charges do not apply for vehicles if we have the keys and therefore means to move the vehicle in and out of our workshop to suit or day to day workshop movement needs.  Charges also do not apply to vehicles that are immobile as a result of work being carried out on them.

Vehicle and Part Release.

No vehicles or parts to be removed from the premises until all bills are settled in full.  Part payments can be taken towards clearing the final debt.  However under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will the vehicle, parts, repair items or custom parts be released from the premises until monies owed are paid for in full and final settlement.

7.      The right is reserved to amend prices without prior notice to cover additional costs of any increases in materials, services, labour, tax or duty which we may incur between confirmation of order and delivery of the order. Wherever possible reasonable notice will be given.

8.      Clients with proven credit trading facilities will be invoiced after dispatch of goods on 7 days account settlement from date on invoice. GizFab operates a late payment penalty currently £0.75 per day backdated to date of invoice. Any extra costs or expenses incurred in recovering overdue accounts will be added to the account and recovered as part of the debt.

9.      Prospective buyers with no credit trading facilities will be required to make payment in full by either cash, BACS direct payment in our bank account which is HSBC Sort code: 40-42-05. Account No: 61396617. Account Name MR E J YOUNG or via PAYPAL. At our discretion credit trading facilities may be granted to such Limited companies after a credit report is obtained from Experian.

10.  Dimensions quoted are approximate and may vary by 5%+/-. For all bespoke goods, the buyer will accept and pay for any variation. All colours, materials, tolerances and the like seen by the buyer our brochure, website, descriptions or other samples are deemed to be approximate only unless otherwise agreed we might make reasonable variations in the manufacture of the goods.

11.  We shall not be liable for loss arising to the buyer from delay or failure arising from an act of God, war, civil disturbance, terrorist act, riot, industrial action or dispute, natural calamity, non-availability of materials, controls, restrictions or prohibitions of government or any other competent authority, fire, flood, sabotage, breakdown of plant or machinery or any other causes beyond our reasonable control.

12.  All lead times for delivery are approximate which you will be notified of upon confirmation of order.  Lead-times given will not include week-ends or any UK Bank Holidays.  Please be aware GizFab is a working shop and as such on top of booked in work I also get walk in trade.  If you require a product urgently please advise in writing at time of order and we will acknowledge a deadline date to suit.  Lead time for bespoke / custom work will be quoted for.  We reserve the right to dispatch orders in instalments and recover payment for each instalment delivered as if it were a separate order. In the case of goods dispatched by instalments, the buyer will not be entitled to treat the delivery of faulty goods in any one instalment, or the late delivery of any one instalment, as a repudiation of the whole contract. If on delivery there is a variation in quantity by up to 10% of the numbers ordered, it is agreed such a variation shall be so slight as to make it unreasonable for the buyer to reject the delivery.

13.  If the buyer fails to collect or give delivery instructions or take delivery within 10 working days of being notified the goods are ready for collection or dispatch we shall (without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to us) be entitled, but not bound, to store the goods at any available place at the buyer’s expense and such expense will be added to the cost of the goods.

In the event of the goods, whilst any such sums due as aforesaid, the buyer shall be the trustee for GizFab of the proceeds of such sale or to the claim for such proceeds and the buyer shall place such proceeds in a separate account. Nothing herein shall constitute the buyer our agent for the purpose of any sub-sale.

(b) The buyer agrees prior to the payment of all sums due to GizFab on any account, we may at any time enter the buyer’s premises and remove the goods there from and prior to such payment the buyer shall keep such goods separate and identifiable for this purpose. Once removed we may sell the goods to recover all sums due to us and we will return any balance to the buyer but we may pursue the buyer for any shortfalls as if it were a debt.

(c) In the event of the goods becoming constituents of or being converted into other products whilst sums are due as provided in sub-condition (i) hereof we shall have the ownership and title to such reasonable proportion of the other products as if they were the goods and accordingly sub-condition (ii) and (iii) hereof shall so far as appropriate apply to such other products subject the buyer’s right to the surplus of any monies realised by the said goods over those due to us provided herein.
