2. Application

This Agreement applies to this sale, Service and all statements made by Foxhall in brochures, price lists, adverts, quotations, on the internet or verbally. Any variations to this Agreement must be confirmed by Foxhall in writing. Any other Terms and Conditions except statutory rights afforded to a Consumer, are excluded. Placing your order means acceptance of this Agreement. This Agreement does not apply to Product purchases from a reseller or distributor nor is it a reseller or distribution agreement.

3. Quotations/Orders/Contract

Quotations are only valid in writing and during the period that they state. If unstated, the period is 10 days (incl. 3rd Party Products). Orders may be received by writing, internet, telephone or fax but are only binding when accepted by Foxhall in a written Order Confirmation. Please check the Order Confirmation and notify Foxhall of any mistake in writing immediately or the details stated in the Order Confirmation will apply to this Agreement. Foxhall reserves the right to change Products (incl. 3rd Party Products) at any time but Foxhall guarantees you at least equivalent functionality and performance.

4. Price & Payment Terms

Products and Service Offering prices, VAT, shipment, insurance and installation are as shown on your invoice. Changes to VAT, exchange rates, duties, insurance, freight and purchase costs (incl. for components and Services) may cause Foxhall to adjust prices accordingly. Payment of 50% including VAT of the total system installed cost, must be made before acceptance of an order to supply Goods or Services, and on completion of delivery and installation the final 50% will be invoiced requesting  payment within 14 days of the system go-live date. Payment timing is of the essence. Foxhall may suspend deliveries or Services until full payment for that order. If payment is late, and you purchase as a company, the maximum statutory interest rate will apply on the late amount and if you purchase as a Consumer, interest will be at 2% above the minimum lending rate on the late amount. In either case, the costs of recovery shall be payable by you. Cheques may only be accepted conditionally. Your invoice may show discount terms for payment of the total system installed cost, which may be applied to your final 50% payment, if it is received by us before the due date as shown on your invoice.

5. Delivery/Title/Risk

The delivery period in the Order Confirmation is approximate. Delivery by instalments may be made. The place of delivery is stated in the Order Confirmation. Title to Product passes on full payment and until then you must insure and store our goods separately and you may not modify, pledge or sell them. The Customer or Consumer will not withhold permission for  Foxhall to enter the storage premises to repossess the goods if payment in full cannot be made. Should you sell them before title passes, you will become Foxhall’s agent and the proceeds of that sale shall be held on our behalf, separately from your general funds. Foxhall may sue for the Price before title passes. If you refuse delivery without Foxhall’s agreement, you must pay Foxhall’s expenses or loss resulting from that refusal, including storage costs, until you accept delivery. Risk of the loss of the goods passes to you on delivery.

6. Acceptance

When you receive Product you must inspect it for any defects or non-conformity within 7 days. After this period, you will have accepted Product. If Foxhall agrees to the return of Product at its choosing, it must be in its original condition with packaging, a return note and proof of purchase; the return costs may also be payable by you.

7. Warranty

Unless otherwise stated, Foxhall guarantees to you that Foxhall-supplied Products will be free from defects for 6 months from delivery and spare parts for 60 days from installation or delivery date, whichever is the earlier. Should Product be defective within this period, Foxhall will use best endeavours to repair or replace Product within 30 days. All reasonable care and endeavour shall be used to resolve problems within a realistic period in the circumstances. Foxhall warranty does not apply where manufacturer’s warranty, and/or statutory conditions and warranties equal or exceed Foxhall’s Warranty. Foxhall may revise its limited warranties from time to time but any such change will not affect products ordered by you prior to the date of such change.

Foxhall does not give a warranty guarantee protection for:

    1. damage caused by incorrect installation, use, modifications or repair by any unauthorised 3rd party, a representative of the Customer, or a Consumer;
    2. damage caused by any party (except Foxhall) or other external force;
    3. fitness for any particular purpose;

    5. any instruction given by you and correctly performed by Foxhall.
8. Installations onto existing Customer Hardware

However, Foxhall reserves the right to impose additional time and materials charges where integration difficulties extend project installation and commissioning time.

9. Services

Installation and Commissioning Services will be provided by Foxhall or their selected Service Provider. Response times are estimates and may vary according to the remoteness or accessibility of Product location. Services may be provided via telephone or internet where appropriate.
