BASIS OF CONTRACT

2.1

These Conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are
implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.

2.2

By placing an Order the Customer is making an offer to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Conditions. As part of the checkout
process, or on receipt of our Order confirmation, the Customer can check its order and correct any errors. The Supplier will send an Order
acknowledgement, detailing the products the Customer has ordered. It is the Customer´s responsibility to ensure that the terms of the Order
and any relevant Specification are complete and accurate.

2.3

The Supplier´s acceptance of an Order takes place when Goods are despatched. At this point the purchase contract will be made even if the
Customer´s payment has been processed immediately, unless the Customer is notified that their Order is not accepted or it is cancelled.

2.4

The Supplier may refuse to accept an Order:

(a) where the Goods ordered are not available;

(b) where the Customer´s payment is not authorised;

(c) if there has been a pricing or product description error; or

(d) if the Customer does not meet any relevant eligibility criteria, including, but not limited to, where the Customer makes a declaration that
they are a consumer, when in fact they are a business.

2.5

The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. The Customer acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement,
promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of the Supplier which is not set out in the Contract. Any advertising by the Supplier
and any descriptions or illustrations contained on the Supplier's website are published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea
of the Goods described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract or any other contract between the Supplier and the Customer for
the sale of the Goods.

2.6

Any quotation for the Goods given by the Supplier or price shown on the website shall not constitute an offer. A quotation shall only be
valid for a period of one Business Day from its date of issue.

2.7

If any of these Conditions are inconsistent with any term of the Order, the Order shall prevail.

2.8

The Supplier shall assign an order number to the Order and inform the Customer of it when confirming acceptance of the Order. The
Customer should quote the order number in all subsequent correspondence relating to the Order.

2.9

The Customer may at any time before any agreed delivery date amend or cancel an Order by providing the Supplier with written notice by email to: alex@northerntanksstore.co.uk. If an Order is amended or cancelled the Customer´s liability shall be limited to payment of all costs reasonably incurred by the Supplier in fulfilling the Order up until receipt of the amendment or cancellation.

DELIVERY

3.1

The Supplier shall ensure that delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note which shows the date of the Order, all relevant
Customer and Supplier reference numbers, the type and quantity of the Goods (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable
special storage instructions (if any) and, if the Order is being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Goods remaining to be
delivered.

3.2

The Supplier shall deliver the Goods to the location set out in the Order (Delivery Location).

3.3

Delivery of the Goods shall be completed on the Goods´ arrival at the Delivery Location.

3.4

Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. The Supplier shall not be liable for any
delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a Force Majeure event or the Customer´s failure to provide the Supplier with adequate
delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods. The Supplier will inform the Customer if it
becomes aware of an unexpected delay and will arrange a new delivery date. Please allow extra time for deliveries to [the Scottish
Highlands and Islands or to those postcodes set out on the website.

3.5

If the Customer fails to take delivery of an Order, then, except where this failure is caused by the Supplier´s failure to comply with these
Conditions or by a Force Majeure event the Supplier:

(a) will store the Goods until delivery takes place and may charge the Customer a reasonable sum to cover expenses and insurance; and

(b) shall have no liability for late delivery.

3.6

If the Supplier is not able to deliver the whole of the Order at one time due to operational reasons or shortage of stock, it will deliver the
Order in instalments. The Customer will not be charged extra delivery costs for this. If the Customer requests delivery of the Order in
instalments, the Supplier may charge extra delivery costs. If an instalment is faulty or late being delivered, that will not entitle the Customer
to cancel any other instalment or the Contract.

3.

If the Supplier fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Customer in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. The Supplier shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer's failure to provide the supplier with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

4.5

These Conditions apply to any repaired or replacement Goods supplied, in the unlikely event that the original Goods are faulty or do not otherwise conform with these Conditions.

4.6
