2. How the Contract is formed between you and us

2.1 When you advise us that you wish to purchase any spare parts (“Goods”) or servicing and/or repairs (“Services”) from us following our having provided you with a quotation to provide such Goods or Services, you are placing an “Order” with us for the purchase of the Goods and/or Services, subject to these Terms. Please note that any quotations issued remain valid for one month from the date of issue.

2.2 We will confirm that we accept your Order:

(a) for any Services and associated Goods, by printing a job card for signature by you on the day we provide (or start providing) the Services. Please note that any other communication from us, including any verbal communication, is only an acknowledgement and not an acceptance of your Order; and

(b) for Goods only, by verbal confirmation at the time you place your Order or, where we are delivering the Goods to you at a location other than one of our showrooms, when we provide you with a delivery note and invoice,

referred to in each case as the “Order Confirmation”.

2.3 These Terms and Conditions will become binding on you when:

If you have already paid the Price, we will refund you the full amount as soon as possible.

3. Price of Goods and Services and any Additional Costs

3.1 The price of the applicable Goods and/or Services will be as quoted to you verbally, or otherwise notified to you in writing in the Order Confirmation (“Price”).
