Terms And Conditions

General

Acceptance of an offer from Hycontrol Limited includes the acceptance of the following conditions of sale. All quotations are made and all orders accepted are subject to the following terms and conditions, and to Hycontrol Limited's conditions which are detailed on the reverse of each order. No other addition thereto, or variation therein, shall be made unless agreed in writing by all parties.

Any waiver(s) of one or more of these conditions does not constitute a permanent waiver of these conditions as a whole. If a written customer order purports to incorporate any conditions it is specifically agreed that such conditions which are or may be perceived to be at variance with Hycontrol's are only for your internal purposes and that Hycontrol's conditions shall prevail between the two parties.

Price Basis

All prices provided to customers in either formal or informal quotations are nett ex-works and in GBP unless otherwise stated, and exclude Value Added Tax.

Payment Terms

Payment shall be made 30 days from the date of invoice unless otherwise agreed in writing by Hycontrol Limited.

Note: All new customer's first order payments will be required via Proforma Invoice unless agreed in writing by Hycontrol Ltd. Our bank details will be supplied when required.

Validity

All quotations issued are valid for a period of 30 days unless withdrawn in writing within this period. Our representations do not constitute part of our offer and liability for them is excluded. Except where referred to specifically, product descriptions are intended only to present a general idea of goods and we reserve the right to deliver goods of a modified design if we consider that we can make an improvement without expense to you.

Acceptance/Contract

Acceptance of our offer must be by written order within 30 days of the date of quotation. The contract between parties will come into force immediately upon receipt of your acceptance. We reserve the right to cancel the contract within sixty days thereafter if we have not received satisfactory evidence of creditworthiness or security for payment.

Delivery

Delivery of non-stock items is usually quoted as 4-6 weeks although this may vary depending on production conditions or other such factors - please speak to a Hycontrol representative when enquiring, and ensure you check the delivery estimation in your quotation. This despatch estimation is not binding and Hycontrol shall not be liable for failure to despatch within such time unless specifically agreed. The estimated delivery times are based on receipt of a technically and commercially clarified order and any advance payment. 

Carriage and packing are extra at cost. Delivery within the UK is assumed to comprise a single shipment to a single site.

International customers may be required to arrange collection of goods when ready for despatch. Please consult with one of our representatives prior to placing your order.

Install, Service, Commission and Site Visit Specific Conditions

Cancellation/Delays

• In the unfortunate event of the project requiring cancellation or delay the following points will apply:
• Cancellation or delay within 10 days of the due date will mean full invoice payment will be charged plus hotels if Hycontrol is unable to cancel them. A replacement of, or addition to, the original Purchase Order will be required to complete the work.
• Outside of 10 days, all equipment items will be invoiced on the due date as agreed in original terms and conditions.

• The remaining workload will be assessed and all additional costs confirmed.
