2. SCOPE AND APPLICATION
2.1 These Conditions shall govern and be incorporated in each Contract for the supply of Product(s) made between Whiterock and Customer. They shall apply in place of, supersede, replace and prevail over, any terms, whether or not in conflict or inconsistent with these Conditions, contained or referred to in any documentation submitted by Customer (including any Order), or in correspondence, or elsewhere, or implied by trade custom, practice, or course of dealing, including, but not limited to, any Customer conditions of purchase, terms of business, or any other form of agreement. The Customer agrees that any terms and conditions submitted by Customer are submitted in error and are of no binding effect or application to the Contract.
2.2 Whiterock is not obliged to take any action in response to any Order placed by Customer. Whiterock however will employ reasonable endeavours to provide Customer with a Quote within a reasonable period following receipt of an Order. A Contract shall be concluded between Whiterock and Customer in the normal course following acceptance by Customer of a Quote from Whiterock (and for the avoidance of doubt not upon receipt of an Order from Customer) or, where this has not occurred, for whatever reason, then, upon acceptance by Customer, or its Affiliate (or any agent or contractor), of Delivery of Product(s), which shall be deemed to constitute Customer’s unqualified acceptance of the applicable Quote and conclusion of a Contract on these Conditions.
2.3 These Conditions, and the Contract (as defined above), constitute the entire agreement, arrangement and understanding between Whiterock and Customer relating to each supply of Product(s) and supersede and replace all prior oral or written agreements, statements,
representations (“Pre-Contractual Statements”) as between the Parties relating thereto. This clause shall exclude Whiterock’s liability for any claim, whether: (a) in contract; (b) tort; (c) or any other cause of action, arising from Customer’s purported reliance on any PreContractual Statement made by or on behalf of Whiterock. Variation of these Conditions shall be valid only if made in writing and signed by an authorised representative of each Party. This clause shall not affect any liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.
3. PRICE AND PAYMENT
3.1 For Customers other than Account Customers or Pre-Paid Customers, Invoices shall be issued immediately by Whiterock at the point of sale in a Whiterock premises. Pre-Paid Customers shall pay in advance of Delivery.
3.2 For Account Customers, Whiterock shall, at its discretion, issue Invoices at regular intervals on an on-demand basis. For administrative convenience, Invoices may be issued on the basis of a Customer designated project and accordingly may relate to and include amounts owing to Whiterock under a number of separate Quotes and Contracts. Each separate Contract remains an individual Contract and the inclusion of a number of separate Quotes and Contracts in a single Invoice shall not in any way affect this or restrict Whiterock’s ability to recover all sums owing.
3.3 The Price is as stated in the Quote provided to the Customer or otherwise as specified in the published Price List in Whiterock premises (or as reflected on the sales docket in respect of Pre-Paid Customers). All sums due and owing to Whiterock shall be paid in full and free from any rights of set-off and counterclaim, to the maximum extent legally permissible.
3.4 Without prejudice to any claim for damages Whiterock may have under any Contract, and which Whiterock reserves, all sums due to Whiterock under a Contract shall be recoverable by Whiterock as a simple contract debt in any court of competent jurisdiction.
3.5 Value Added Tax and any other tax or duty payable by a Customer shall be added to the Price, at the rate then applicable.
3.6 All amounts are due to Whiterock within 30 days of the date of any Invoice. Time for payment shall be of the essence and an express condition of this Contract. Whiterock may at its absolute discretion demand full or partial payment of any amount outstanding after the date of
Delivery. Interest is payable by Customer on overdue accounts in accordance with the European Communities (Late Payment in Commercial Transactions) Regulations 2012 (S.I. 580 of 2012).
3.7 Whiterock may at its sole discretion and from time to time require full, or partial payment, of the Price prior to Delivery, or the provision of security for payment by Customer in a form acceptable to Whiterock. In addition, any extension of credit allowed to Customer may be
changed or withdrawn at any time at the absolute discretion of Whiterock.
3.8 Whiterock may at its discretion, based on prior warning to the Customer, block orders and suspend supply of Product(s) to Customer in the event that Customer is overdue with payment of any amount due and owing to Whiterock (as stated on any Invoice), or is in breach of these
Conditions or the Contract, until such time as the payment is made or the breach remedied to Whiterock’s reasonable satisfaction.
4. DELIVERY
4.1 Whiterock shall use its reasonable endeavours to meet Delivery dates specified to Customers. However, time of Delivery is not of the essence in a Contract and shall not be made so by the service of any notice by the Customer. Customer shall be responsible for prompt inspection of Products(s) following Delivery and Customer attention is expressly drawn to the provisions of Clause 4.9 and 6.5.
4.2 Where it is agreed in writing between the Parties that Whiterock will deliver the Product(s) to the Customer, the Customer will provide suitable and necessary access and egress, including suitable roadways and entrances to the Delivery Point. If, in Whiterock's opinion, suitable access and egress are not available, then, Whiterock’s vehicles shall return to Whiterock's premises and the Customer agrees to collect the Product(s) within three (3) business days, at its own cost, which shall conclude Delivery. The Customer shall be responsible for all Delivery
charges in any event (including where Whiterock has been unable to Deliver the Product(s) due to unsuitable access to the Delivery Point), and in the absence of agreement in relation to Delivery charges, Whiterock may estimate and charge a reasonable price for same. For
Delivery Points located beyond the curb line, the Customer agrees to indemnify, protect and hold harmless Whiterock, its employees, contractors and agents, against all loss and damage suffered by third parties due to, or incurred in the course of, Delivery thereto AND any loss or damage suffered by Customer shall be subject to the provisions of Clause 6.
4.3 Whiterock may effect Delivery of the Product(s) in one or more instalments. The Customer shall be solely responsible for unloading the Product(s) and the Customer shall provide at the Delivery Point, and at its own expense, adequate and appropriate equipment and manual labour for loading and unloading the Product in an efficient and timely manner. Whiterock reserves the right to charge an additional fee for any unreasonable delay in unloading at a site. Whiterock reserves the right to unload the Product(s) at the specified site, at an agreed time
and the presence of Customer is not required.
4.4 Subject to Clause 4.5, if Customer, Affiliate, or nominated third party, refuses or fails to take Delivery of Product(s) ordered in accordance with the Contract, or fails to take any action necessary on its part for Delivery of the Product(s), then, Whiterock may: (i) with immediate
effect and on notice in writing to Customer terminate the Contract for breach of condition; (ii) or at Whiterock’s discretion, elect to store the Product(s) until actual Delivery takes place, whereupon Customer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, but not
limited to, storage and insurance of the Product(s)).
4.5 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Clause 4, where: (i) the Product(s) contained in the Quote are Perishable Products; and (ii) Customer, Affiliate, or nominated third party, refuses or fails to take Delivery of such Perishable Product(s) in a timely manner in accordance
with the Contract, then, Customer shall be liable to Whiterock for the full Price set out in the Quote, in addition to any other costs or expenses incurred by Whiterock as a result of such refusal or failure to take Delivery.
4.6 Rescheduling of a Delivery by Customer shall be subject to acceptance by Whiterock, at its discretion, in accordance with the Special Conditions.
4.7 Customer shall meet the cost of any special packaging or palletting, requested by Customer, or Affiliate, or any packaging rendered necessary by Delivery by any means other than Whiterock's normal means of delivery. The Customer shall, unless otherwise agreed, be solely
responsible for the disposal of all packaging in accordance with all regulations (whether statutory or otherwise) relating to the protection of the environment.
4.8 Any liability that Whiterock may have to the Customer due to Whiterock's failure to deliver the Product(s) (or any instalment thereof) for any reason, other than a Force Majeure reason pursuant to Clause 5 of the Special Conditions, is in any event limited in accordance with
Clause 4.9 or 6, as appropriate.
4.9 Subject to Clause 6.1, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Whiterock excludes all liability to Customer, or its Affiliates, for: (a) damage to, or loss of, the Product(s), or any part of them, in transit, where the Product(s) are carried by Whiterock or a carrier on behalf of
Whiterock, unless Customer notifies Whiterock, in writing, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the Product(s) or the Delivery date specified in the Quote, whichever is the earlier; (b) defects in the Product(s), caused by abnormal or unsuitable conditions of storage, or use, or any
act, neglect or default of Customer, an Affiliate, or of any third party; and/or (c) other defects in the Product(s), unless notified to Whiterock, in writing, within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the Product(s) by Customer, if the defect would be apparent on reasonable inspection,
and if the defect would not be apparent on reasonable inspection, then, promptly on discovery. If liability is accepted by Whiterock hereunder, then, Whiterock' sole obligation, responsibility and liability and Customer’s sole remedy, shall, at Whiterock’ sole discretion, be to: (i)
make good any shortage of Product(s); (ii) replace or repair any Product(s) found to be damaged or defective; and/or (iii) refund to Customer the Price paid by Customer for the Product(s) the subject of a claim at issue hereunder.
