T&Cs of Sale FAQ

How do these T&Cs anticipate being incorporated into the contracting process?

The terms and conditions of sale suggest two quite different contracting processes.

The first deems that each written quotation for the supply of the products is an offer to supply, and that a contract will only come into force when the supplier has given a written quotation which has been accepted by the customer within a specified period (e.g. 10 working days).

The second provides that the customer's orders constitute the contractual offer, which is accepted by the supplier when an order confirmation is issued.

Are these terms and conditions of sale designed for use online?

No, although with a little work they can be adapted for an online sale process.

Where title to the products is retained by the seller, what obligations are placed on the buyer?

Under section 5 the buyer must, in these circumstances:

• store the products in a secure, safe, dry and clean environment separately from other products and goods,
• deliver up the Products to the Supplier upon demand,
• ensure that the products are easily identifiable as belonging to the supplier,
• not deface, destroy, alter or obscure any identifying mark on the Products or their packaging, and
• ensure that no charge, lien or other encumbrance is created over the Products.

Professional documents

The contract forms and precedents on this website are designed for use by lawyers and other contract professionals. They are jurisdiction-neutral, and need to be adapted for a particular jurisdiction before use. Because of the application of substantive national laws and national rules of interpretation, non-professionals should avoid using our forms to create legal documentation unless the legal documentation will be checked by an appropriately qualified lawyer before execution or use.
