7.1. Delivery costs. The costs of delivery will be as set out in our quotation form or otherwise notified to you during the order process.
7.2. When we will provide the products.
7.2.1. If the products are goods. If the products are goods, we will deliver them to you as soon as reasonably possible through our shipping agents. Due to the nature of the goods being tailored or made to your specifications and the fact that the shipment and delivery of the goods is being made internationally (through our third party agents), lead times may be longer. Your estimated delivery date will be notified to you during the order process. For both Consumers and Business Customers, times and dates for delivery of your order or its performance are not of the essence and we shall not be liable for any delay in delivery that is caused by an event or circumstances outside of our control or any customer’s failure to provide us with instructions relevant to the order or its delivery.
7.2.2. If the products are one-off services. We will begin the services (primarily installation services) on the date agreed with you during the order process. The estimated completion date for the services is as told to you during the order process.
7.2.3. If the products are ongoing services or provided on a subscription basis. We will supply the goods or services to you until either the services are completed or the subscription expires (if applicable) or if you end the contract as described in section 8 or we end the contract by written notice to you as described in section 10.
7.3. We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimize the effect of the delay. We will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay (being not less than 90 days) you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any products you have paid for but not received.
7.4. Collection by you. If we have agreed that you can collect the products from our premises or the premises of our agent, you can collect them from us at the pre-agreed time. You must contact us first to arrange a collection time before collecting your goods.
7.5. If you are not at your address when the product is delivered. If no one is available at your address to take delivery and the products cannot be posted through your letterbox, we will leave you a note informing you of how to rearrange delivery or (if possible, which will depend on the products ordered) collect the products from a local depot as described in the note.
7.6. If you do not re-arrange delivery. If you do not collect the products from us as arranged or if, after a failed delivery to you, you do not re-arrange delivery or collect them from a delivery depot, we will contact you for further instructions and may charge you for storage costs incurred and any further delivery costs. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection, we may end the contract and section 10.2 will apply.
7.7. If you cancel or do not allow us access to provide products. If you cancel or change any goods or services (including installation details or instructions) less than 24 hours before the date on which the goods are to be delivered or the services are to commence, or you do not allow us access to your property to deliver the goods or perform the services as arranged, we may charge you additional costs incurred by us as a result. For a cancelled or postponed delivery, you will be liable to us for the full delivery charge. If you were due to have the product installed, you will be liable for the full charge of both delivery and installation. For a cancelled or postponed installation, this charge is currently $495 (excluding taxes). If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange access to your property, we may end the contract and section 10.2 will apply.
7.8. When you become responsible for the goods. A product which is goods will be your responsibility:
7.8.1. from the time we deliver the product to the address you gave us or a carrier (organized by you) collects it from us, or
7.8.2. if we have agreed to install the goods, the goods will be your responsibility from the time we complete the installation, or
7.8.3. at the point that responsibility passes to the Buyer according to the Incoterms used (for international shipments). Incoterms 2000 will govern all terms relating to shipment.
7.9. When you own goods. You own a product which is goods once we have received payment in full.
7.10 What will happen if you do not give required information to us. We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the products to you. If so, we will contact you to ask for this information. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (and section 10.2 will apply) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for supplying the products late or not supplying any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
7.11 Reasons we may suspend the supply of products to you. We may have to suspend the supply of a product to:
7.11.1 deal with technical problems or make minor technical changes;
7.11.2 update the product to reflect changes in relevant laws or regulatory requirements; or
7.11.3 make changes to the product as requested by you or notified by us to you (see section 6).
7.12 Your rights if we suspend the supply of products. We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending supply of the product, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the product, we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for products while they are suspended. You may contact us to end the contract for a product if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, in each case for a period of more than 90 days and we will refund any sums you have paid in advance for the product in respect of the period after you end the contract.
7.13 We may also suspend supply of the products if you do not pay. If you do not pay us for the products when you are supposed to (see section 13.3) and you still do not make payment within 7 days of us reminding you that payment is due, we may suspend supply of the products until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the products. We will not charge you for the products during the period for which they are suspended. As well as suspending the products we can also charge you interest on your overdue payments (see section 13.5).
