1.6 Delivery dates and times specified by the Company are approximate only, however if any booked ‘Special delivery service’ fails then any extra charges applied would be refunded (excludes our standard delivery service). Unless expressly agreed by the Company in writing, time is not and shall not be deemed to be of the essence of the contract. The Customer shall make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of goods whenever they are tendered for delivery.
1.7 If goods are sold and delivered to the Customer in instalments each delivery shall constitute a separate contract, and failure by the Company to deliver any one or more of the instalments or any claim by the Customer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Customer to treat the contract as a whole as repudiated. Further the Customer shall have no right of set-off against any monies due to the Company under this or any other contract.
1.8 Where failure to take delivery by the Customer on an arranged delivery date any and all costs incurred by the Company for the re-delivery will be due and payable to the Company before re-delivery can take place.
1.9 We are able to arrange for out of hour’s deliveries however this is subject to availability, accessibility and location of delivery address. There would be an extra charge for these ‘special delivery services’ and each order would need to be quoted separately prior to shipping.
1.10 YOU ARE ADVISED NOT TO BOOK AN INSTALLER OR CONTRACTOR UNTIL YOUR GOODS HAVE ARRIVED AND HAVE BEEN CHECKED, the Company or its agents are not liable for any installer or contractor costs, consequential loss or compensation in any way. All deliveries should be checked on receipt for any signs of damage and reported to us within 24 hours, so we can resolve any problem quickly, either by calling us on 01942 609896 or by emailing us on sales@merinal.co.uk. The maximum we would allow for any claim against damages would be within seven days of receipt of your goods.
