Terms of Purchase

2. We buy from businesses only

We buy from businesses, not from private individuals. By offering us stock you confirm you are acting in the course of a business.

3. Valuations and offers

Any figure we give you based on a description, stock list or photographs is an indicative valuation, not a binding offer. It is given so you can decide whether to proceed, and is subject to our inspecting the goods and their documentation.

A binding offer is one we make in writing after inspection, identifying the goods and the price. A contract is formed when you accept that written offer.

If the goods on inspection differ materially from your description — in quantity, condition, marking, documentation or composition — we may withdraw or revise our offer.

4. What you confirm to us

By offering us goods, you confirm that:

• you own the goods or are authorised to sell them, and will transfer clear title to us;
• the goods are free of any charge, lien, retention of title or other third-party claim, and are not subject to any insolvency process that would prevent their sale — or, where they are, that you have the authority of the relevant office-holder and will provide evidence of it;
• the goods are genuine, and not counterfeit, imitation or otherwise infringing anyone's intellectual property;
• you are not subject to any restriction preventing you from selling them to us, whether from a brand owner, a supplier or otherwise;
• the goods are safe and comply with all product safety and product-specific legislation applicable to them in Great Britain;
• the goods carry the conformity marking required for the Great Britain market, and their original labelling, warnings and instructions, intact and legible;
• instructions, warnings and any required safety information are provided in English;
• you will supply, with the goods, any Declaration of Conformity, technical documentation, test evidence, safety data sheet or approval certificate applicable to them;
• you will tell us, accurately, where the goods were originally supplied from and who supplied them to you;
• the goods have been stored and handled in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements, and are within any stated shelf life or durability period;
• none of the goods is subject to a current recall, withdrawal or safety notice;
• your description of the goods is accurate and not misleading, and you have not withheld anything you'd reasonably expect to affect our valuation.

5. Inspection and rejection

We may inspect the goods and their documentation before or at collection. We may reject any goods that do not match your description, that we cannot verify as genuine, that lack required marking, labelling or documentation, or that we reasonably believe do not meet the confirmations in clause 4. Where we reject part of a load, we may proceed with the remainder at an adjusted price or withdraw altogether.

6. Collection, risk and title

We will agree a collection date once an offer is accepted. [NEEDED: who bears collection cost; whether the seller must palletise, wrap and load; and any minimum load size.]

Risk and title pass to us on collection, or at another point we agree in writing.

You must give us safe access for collection and make the goods available as agreed. If goods are not ready at the agreed time we may charge our reasonable wasted costs.

7. Payment

We pay by bank transfer, within three working days of collection [assumed], to the business bank account you nominate. We do not pay in cash.

We may withhold payment where goods do not match your description, or where documentation we were promised has not been supplied, until the difference is resolved.

8. Documentation and traceability

You must give us the information we need for product traceability, including batch, lot or serial references and details of who supplied the goods to you, together with any product specifications, conformity documentation or safety information we reasonably request.

You must tell us immediately if you become aware, at any time, of a safety issue, withdrawal or recall affecting goods you have sold us.

9. Your liability to us

You are responsible for any loss, damage, claim or cost we suffer as a result of a breach of the confirmations in clause 4 — in particular where goods turn out to be counterfeit, unsafe, non-compliant, subject to a recall, or subject to a third-party claim to ownership.

10. Confidentiality

We treat details of stock you offer us as commercially confidential, as described in our Privacy Policy. We ask that you treat our pricing as confidential in return.

11. General

Each clause operates separately. A delay in enforcing our rights is not a waiver. A person who is not a party has no rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, whose courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
