STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
These Terms and Conditions of Sale are expressly incorporated as terms of any orders, which are made and accepted by the Company. Any qualifications or other conditions proposed by the Buyer will not apply to the contract, unless expressly endorsed in writing by the Company and the Buyer.
1. PRODUCT AND MATERIAL SELECTION
If requested, Company sales representatives will provide advice and guidance relating to product and material selection. Note however, that ultimate responsibility for product and material selection rests with the Buyer. The Buyer shall be furnished with a detailed written quotation for the products requested, or recommended by the Company. The Buyer must review the quotation provided. By placing a Purchase Order (or initiating any purchase transaction) for the quoted items with the Company, the Buyer assumes full responsibility for product and material selection.
2. ORDER PLACEMENT
The Company’s shopping pages or Customer Service Representatives can guide the Buyer through the steps required to place an order. The Webshop order process allows the Buyer to check and amend any errors before submitting any order. Please take the time to read and check the details provided at each stage of the order process.
After an order is placed, the Company will confirm its acceptance by sending an order confirmation via e-mail. The contract between the Buyer and the Company will only be formed once the dispatch confirmation is received by the Buyer.
If the Company is unable to supply a product, for example because that product is not in stock, no longer available, because the Company cannot meet the Buyer’s requested delivery date, or because of a pricing error, the Buyer will be informed by phone or e-mail and the order will not be processed. Any monies paid will be refunded, including any delivery costs charged, as soon as possible.
3. PRICE AND PAYMENT TERMS
The Company works hard to ensure that all written quotations and Webshop prices are accurate, but occasionally an error may occur and goods may be incorrectly priced. If a pricing error is discovered, the Company reserves the right to suspend the order. The Buyer will be contacted to confirm if they wish to continue with the order at the correct price. The Company is not obliged to supply goods at the incorrect price.
Prices quoted will normally be for a fixed period (typically 30 days) and will not change after the Company’s written acceptance of the relevant order. Payment will either:
(i) be made in advance against pro-forma invoice
(ii) be made in advance using Webshop payment function
(iii) made in full within 30/45/60/90 days (depending on agreed credit terms) from the date which
the invoice is issued by the Company (subject to credit status). Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company, payment should be made in full within 30 days of invoice date.
In no event shall any invoice be issued until such time as the order has been accepted by the Company and the goods in question have been dispatched.
4. PACKING
All packing materials, boxes, cases and crates will be charged for at cost where applicable, with the exception of Webshop orders of value >£50, for which packing materials will be provided FOC.

Carriage will be charged to the Buyer, the price and details of which shall be agreed with Buyer in advance of delivery and will be stated on our quotation.

If the delivery address is subsequently amended, or the requested item is required urgently and is not in UK stock at time of order, additional carriage and customs charges may apply. Non-UK stock items sent by parcel service from our warehouse in Germany at customer request may also incur additional charges. Related charges may only be confirmed at time of order.

In any case, the Company shall use its best endeavours to deliver the goods at the time and date quoted to the Buyer in its acceptance of the order.
Title in any goods shall pass to the Buyer on payment by the Buyer and risk in any goods shall pass on completion of delivery when the goods are unloaded at the agreed delivery location.

Estimated delivery by standard service to UK mainland address is 3 days after the despatch confirmation date. Occasionally delivery may be affected by events outside our control.
In case of the Buyer arranging collection and carriage of the goods, the risk in respect of the goods will pass to the Buyer when the goods leave the Company’s premises and all goods are consigned at Buyer’s risk. If the buyer arranges collection and carriage of the goods, the delivery address shown on the Flux order confirmation, delivery note and invoice must be an address in the UK, BCD or BOT.

If we cannot dispatch your order due to stock constraints, we will contact you to confirm the dispatch date.
If we have dispatched the products to our carrier in accordance with our obligations, then we have complied with our obligations. If your order does not arrive within 3 working days of confirmed dispatch confirmation date, please contact us. We will make every effort to ensure the order is fulfilled. However, we will not be liable for any costs or losses due to late delivery.
Delivery of an order shall be completed when we deliver the products to the address provided, or when they are collected from us (or a nominated third party). The products will be your responsibility from that time.
All orders must be signed for upon receipt and cannot usually be left without a signature. If a package cannot be delivered at the first attempt, the carrier will automatically re-attempt delivery on the following working day at no specific time, at the given address. They may also leave a calling card so you can contact them to arrange a mutually convenient delivery time.

Notice should also be given to the Company in writing via e-mail, as soon as practicably possible.

In the case of breakage or damage, no claim for repair work executed by the Buyer will be accepted without the Company’s prior authorisation.
