2.1 Each order placed by you for the supply of Products shall: (a) only constitute a Contract between you and us if confirmed either by a written acknowledgement of your order duly issued to you by us or (if earlier) by our delivering the relevant Products to you; and (b) if so confirmed, constitute a separate Contract that is subject to these General Conditions. You shall ensure that the terms of your order and any applicable specification are complete and accurate. We are free to accept or decline the whole
or part of any order at our absolute discretion. Any decision we make in this regard is final. Where we decline part of an order we will confirm this to you and afford you the opportunity to continue with the part of the order we have accepted.

2.2 The availability of the Products will be checked after we have received your order. If, for any reason, at any point before delivery the of Products to you, we are unable to fulfil your order (or any part thereof), we will advise you of this and, if we have already received payment from you, the appropriate amount will be credited to you.

2.3 Unless otherwise agreed by or for us: (a) delivery of the Products shall take place at your designated warehouse in mainland Great Britain; (b) any dates specified by us for delivery are intended to be an estimate, and time for delivery shall not be of the essence or be made of the essence by notice; and (c) if no dates are so specified, delivery shall be within a reasonable time.

2.8 We may deliver the Products by separate instalments, in which case each instalment shall be: (a) invoiced and paid for in accordance with the Contract; and (b) treated as constituting a separate Contract subject to these General Conditions, and no cancellation or termination of any such Contract shall entitle you to repudiate or cancel any other such Contract.

2.9 Sales of Products include all retail packaging but exclude all other containers and packaging (e.g. pallets), which constitute J & B Property and must be returned to us in good condition (fair wear and tear excepted), failing which you shall be charged the repair or replacement cost as appropriate.

3.4 We may grant you, at our sole discretion, discounts which may be conditional on performance of certain obligations by you and which will either be included on the respective invoices as determined by us ( On-Invoice Discounts ) or paid to you as retrospective rebates ( Off-Invoice Discounts ). On-Invoice Discounts and Off-Invoice Discounts may be varied by us from time to time giving you no less than 30 days notice. If you fail to comply with any of the obligations which is a condition to an On-Invoice Discount or Off-Invoice Discount, we may be entitled to withhold payment of such amounts and/or reclaim equivalent amounts by issuing a corresponding debit note to you ( Debit Note ). The amount set out in the Debit Note shall be payable within 30 days of the date of the Debit Note. If the Debit Note is not paid within the 30 days, we shall be entitled to exercise any of our rights set out in these General Conditions, including those set out in clauses 4.4,4.5 and/or 11.1(d).

4.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing by or for us, you shall pay us for all invoiced items and Products by the Due Date and in pounds sterling, meaning that we must have received the full payment by the Due Date.

4.2 Our payment method is by direct debit or BACS transfer to such account as we may nominate from time to time in writing. We reserve the right to impose a reasonable surcharge on payments by other methods. Time is of the essence for all payments due to us from you.

4.3 If the Products are delivered in instalments, we shall be entitled to invoice each instalment as and when delivery thereof has been made and payment shall be due in respect of each instalment which has been delivered notwithstanding non-delivery of other instalments or other default on our part.

You also agree to indemnify us in respect of any failure to so return any J & B Property within fourteen (14) days of being requested to do so in writing and/or for any loss of or damage to J & B Property whilst it is in your possession.

such a sale.

to such other of the Products supplied by us to you as we shall in our absolute discretion decide.

5.8 You shall not in any way pledge or charge by way of security for any indebtedness or otherwise encumber any Products to which title has not passed to you and, if you do so, all monies payable for such Products shall (including any Debit Notes) (without prejudice to any of our other rights or remedies) become immediately due and payable (whether or not already invoiced by us).

5.9 In the event of: (a) a breach of clause 5.6 above; or (b) a breach of clause 5.8 above; or (c) any of the circumstances described in clause 11.1(a),11.1(c), or 11.1(d) below:

You shall provide access for us to those premises
or shall procure that access is provided for us to those premises so that we may inspect and/or (if you fail so to deliver the Products) repossess the Products and thereafter sell the Products (and retain the proceeds).

5.11 If we cannot determine whether any Products are the goods in respect of which your right to possession has terminated, you shall be deemed to have sold all goods of the kind sold by us to you in the order in which they were invoiced to you.

5.12 On termination of the Contract (for any reason), our (but not your) rights contained in this clause 5 shall remain in effect.

6.1 You shall notify us of any failure to deliver within five (5) Working Days of the intended date of despatch that was notified to you by us. We shall not, except as provided in this clause 6, be liable for any loss or damage arising from non-delivery or delay in delivery (for whatever reason and whether in respect of the whole or part of the Products), and you shall not be entitled to terminate or cancel the Contract because of any such delay in delivery or non-delivery.

6.2 . You shall on delivery satisfy yourself as to any best before date, and shall be deemed to be satisfied as to such dates unless you immediately and by written notice refuse to accept delivery of the Products concerned, except where such Products are designated as duty-suspended, in which case you shall accept delivery of such Products but shall immediately notify us of the same by written notice.

6.3 You shall ensure that all Products are examined when you or any person acting on your behalf receives them.

option, crediting you with the price of the defective Products. The Products are otherwise sold without any guarantees or representations and all warranties, conditions or terms (whether statutory or otherwise and whether express or implied) to the contrary are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, expressly excluded.

We, and other relevant Trade Mark owners, expressly reserve the right
to take all action we deem necessary against you or any third party in relation to any unauthorised sale, import or export of the Products that would infringe J & B IP Rights.
