2. Basics of Contract

2.1 These Conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.

2.2 The Order constitutes an offer by the Customer to purchase Goods in accordance with these Conditions. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order are complete and accurate. The Order Acceptance Confirmation is always subject to these Conditions, to the exclusion of any terms that the Customer seeks to impose with the Order.

2.3 Any email or message issued automatically or otherwise by Osprey (whether via Osprey’s Online Ordering System or otherwise) and which acknowledges submission of the Customer’s Order is only an acknowledgement of the submission and does not constitute an Order Acceptance Confirmation. The Order will not be accepted by Osprey until a formal written Order Acceptance Confirmation has been issued by Osprey to the Customer.

2.4 Acceptance of an Order, and the creation of the Contract, occurs on the first of the following to occur:

2.4.1 the issue by Osprey of an Order Acceptance Confirmation; or

2.4.2 despatch of the Goods to the Customer by Osprey.

2.5 A quotation for Goods issued by Osprey shall not constitute an offer. A quotation shall only be valid for a period of 20 Business Days from its date of issue. The Contract will not come into existence until the Customer places an Order which is accepted by Osprey issuing a formal written Order Acceptance Confirmation to the Customer.

2.6 The Customer is encouraged to submit Orders in advance of the Season to which the Order relates to maximise Osprey’s ability to accept and fulfil the Order.

2.7 Following the issuing by Osprey of an Order Acceptance Confirmation to the Customer no cancellation or amendment of the Order or the Contract shall be permitted except with Osprey’s prior written consent and on terms that the Customer shall indemnify Osprey in full against any loss, costs, damages and charges incurred by Osprey in consequence of the cancellation or amendment.

3. Goods

3.1 The Goods are described in Osprey’s catalogue, brochure, the Online Ordering System and/or in the Workbook.

3.2 Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter or advertising produced by Osprey and any descriptions or illustrations contained in Osprey’s catalogues, brochures, Online Ordering System and/or Workbook are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods referred to in them. They shall not form part of the Contract nor have any contractual force. Whilst Osprey makes every effort to make sure descriptions of Goods are as accurate as possible, all sizes and dimensions of the Goods as indicated in Osprey’s catalogues, brochures, the Online Ordering System or in the Workbook are approximate only.

3.3 Osprey makes every effort to display as accurately as possible the colours of the images that appear on the Online Ordering System, however, as the actual colours the Customer sees on the Online Ordering System will depend on such factors as the Customer’s monitor, Osprey cannot guarantee that the Customer’s monitor’s display of any colour will accurately reflect the colour of the Goods on delivery.

4. Delivery

4.1 Osprey shall ensure that each delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note that shows the date of the Order, all relevant Customer and Osprey reference numbers, the type and quantity of the Goods (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable), special storage instructions (if any).

4.2 If Osprey requires the Customer to return any packaging materials to Osprey then the Customer shall make any such packaging materials available for collection at such times as Osprey shall reasonably request. Returns of packaging materials shall be at Osprey’s expense.

4.3 Osprey shall deliver the Goods to the location set out in the Order or such other location as the parties may agree in writing (“Delivery Location”).

4.4 Delivery is completed on the completion of unloading of the Goods at the Delivery Location.

4.5 Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. Osprey shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer’s failure to provide Osprey with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods. Osprey reserves the right to deliver the Goods in advance of any quoted delivery date upon giving reasonable notice to the Customer.

4.6 If Osprey fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to replacing the Goods within a reasonable time or issuing a credit note for the price of the Goods against any invoice raised for such Goods. Osprey shall not be liable to the Customer for any costs, damages, charges or expenses caused directly or indirectly by any delay in the delivery or non-delivery of the Goods.

4.7 If Osprey is unable to fulfil an Order, or any part of an Order, due to stock being unavailable or otherwise, Osprey will notify the Customer and may refund to the Customer any sums already paid. If the stock shortage affects only part of an Order Osprey may, at its discretion, deliver the available part of the Order, in which case the Customer will only receive a refund in respect of the undelivered Goods.

4.8 If the Customer fails to take delivery of the Goods when Osprey attempts to deliver them, then, except where the Customer’s failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or some default by Osprey of its obligations under the Contract:

4.8.1 delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have taken place at the time Osprey attempts to deliver the Goods;

4.8.2 Osprey shall store the Goods until delivery takes place, and charge the Customer for all related costs and expenses (including insurance); and

4.8.3 Osprey may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, account to the Customer for any excess over the price of the Goods or charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.

4.9 Osprey may deliver the Goods by instalments, which may be invoiced and paid for separately. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment.

4.10 Where the Customer has requested delivery of the Goods in instalments, for any instalment which is below Osprey’s current Minimum Order Value, delivery will be charged in addition to the price of the Goods.

4.11 The Customer shall be responsible for complying with any legislation or regulations governing the importation of the Goods into the country of destination and for the payment of all taxes and any duties in that country. Osprey shall have no liability for the confiscation of any items by local customs authorities. Osprey has no control over import charges and taxes and the Customer is solely responsible for providing any information required by local customs authorities to ensure the Goods will be cleared.

4.12 The quantity of any consignment of Goods as recorded by Osprey on despatch from Osprey’s warehouse facilities shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity of Goods received by the Customer on delivery unless the Customer can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary.

4.13 Osprey shall not be liable for any non-delivery of Goods, or any delivery of incorrect quantities or styles, unless the Customer gives Osprey written notice of the inaccuracy within 7 days of the date when the Goods were delivered.

4.14 Goods may not be returned by the Customer once delivered by Osprey except in accordance with Osprey’s product warranty under clause 5.

5.3.1 the Customer fails to fully comply with clause 5.2;

5.3.2 the Customer makes any use of the Defective Goods after giving notice in accordance with clause 5.2;

5.3.3 the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow Osprey’s oral or written instructions as to the storage, commissioning, installation, use and maintenance of the Defective Goods or (if there are none) good trade practice regarding the same;

5.3.4 the Customer has altered or repaired the Defective Goods without the written consent of Osprey;

5.3.5 the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal storage or working conditions;

6.4.2 title to the Goods shall pass from Osprey to the Customer immediately before the time at which resale by the Customer occurs.

7.3 Osprey may, by giving notice to the Customer at any time up to 7 Business Days before delivery, increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods that is due to:

The Customer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.

7.9 The Customer shall pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (except for any deduction or withholding required by law). Osprey may at any time, without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have, set off any amount owing to it by the Customer against any amount payable by Osprey to the Customer.

7.10 If payment of any Osprey invoice is not received on the due date for payment (being prior to despatch of the Goods unless payment terms have been agreed to in writing by Osprey) then, without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have, Osprey shall be entitled to:

7.10.1 charge interest on the late payment at the rate prescribed in clause 7.8;

7.12 While Osprey tries to ensure that all prices for the Goods are accurate, the Customer acknowledges that errors in pricing may occur. If Osprey discovers an error in the price of the Goods the Customer has ordered, Osprey will inform the Customer as soon as possible and give the Customer the option of reconfirming the Order at the correct price or cancelling it. If Osprey is unable to contact the Customer, Osprey will treat the Order as cancelled. If the Customer cancels the Order due to the price error and the Customer has already paid for the Goods at the incorrect price, Osprey will refund the Customer the incorrect price paid for the Goods by the method the Customer used to pay for the Goods unless agreed otherwise in writing with the Customer.
