1.2 A contract for the Goods between the Company and the Buyer will only exist once the Company has accepted the Buyer’s order. These terms must be agreed upon in writing by a Director of the Company; no other employee is authorized to make changes to these conditions.
2) Price
2.1 Quoted prices include the cost of normal packaging but exclude delivery, transit insurance (which are charged extra at cost), VAT or installation charges (where applicable).
