7. Price   

The price payable for the goods ordered are as set out on our web site at the time you place your order, unless separately agreed between us in writing, plus any charges for carriage or insurance as set out in the order form. The price of commodity goods, such as copper, might change due to market conditions, but in these instances we will confirm and agree the prevailing price with you before accepting your order. We reserve the right to decline any orders received, or in some instances agree with you a limit on the order quantity. Should a technical error arise on our website, so that goods appear with an incorrect price, we will not be obliged to supply the goods at the incorrect price stated. Unless you are an account customer, we must receive payment for the whole of the price of the goods you order, including any carriage or other charges, before your order can be processed. We accept no liability if a delivery is delayed because you did not give us the correct payment details.

If you are an account customer, payment must be made in full at the end of the month, following the month of invoice. Time shall be of the essence for payment. If account payments are not made on time we are entitled to withdraw credit facilities and interest will be payable on the amounts overdue. This is in accordance with the terms applied by the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act. We are permitted to this from the due date for payment until receipt by us of the full amount due, including any accrued interest, whether before or after judgement, together with any reasonable legal or other recovery costs. We will charge your credit account for payment upon receipt of your order unless delivery cannot be fulfilled within 30 days. We accept no liability if a delivery is delayed because you did not give us the correct payment details. If it is not possible to obtain full payment for the goods from your account then we can cancel the contract and or suspend any further deliveries to you. This does not affect any other rights we may have.            

The authorized and responsible person signing an account application form for a limited company agrees that they sign the application as guarantors for the amounts due to us from the limited company. As a result they irrevocably agree to guarantee the payment of monies owing to us by the limited company, if we believe that the limited company cannot meet its obligations. If the limited company goes into receivership, liquidation or administration, the guarantor will pay the receiver, liquidator or administrator, as the case may be, such sums as will enable him or her to pay all monies owed to us by the limited company.
