TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE

1. GENERAL
   The supply of products to the customer shall be governed by these terms and conditions of sale, which override any differing conditions on the buyers order form or other documentation.
   
   
2. PAYMENT
   Unless otherwise agreed or negotiated with an individual customer, the customer shall pay any invoice rendered by SAFC Hitech® (a brand of SAFC®, a division of Sigma-Aldrich® Inc.) within 30 days of its date. If the customer wishes to query an invoice, it shall raise its objection before the expiry of 15 days from the date of the relevant invoice.
   
   
3. PRICE VARIATION
   The price charged will be that ruling on the date of despatch and will be subject to Value Added Tax or other government duty of tax as applicable.
   
   
4. CONDITIONS AND WARRANTIES
   SAFC Hitech warrants that the purity of the product is not less than that laid down in the relevant standards. Whilst any recommendation relating to the use of the products made by SAFC Hitech in its technical literature or in response to a specific enquiry or otherwise given in good faith, it is for the customer to satisfy itself that the products are suitable for the purpose for which it intends to use them. In no circumstances shall SAFC Hitech's liability to the customer extend to the customers loss of profits, loss of use or other consequential or economic losses.
   
   
5. DELIVERY
   Dates given for despatch or delivery are approximate. If SAFC Hitech is prevented from manufacturing or distributing the products by normal means through circumstances beyond its reasonable control (which includes industrial disputes, accidents and breakdown of plant and machinery) it may, without liability, cancel or delay deliveries or reduce the quantities delivered during the period it is affected by such circumstances.
   
   
6. CHEMICAL/GAS PACKAGE
   All containers, cylinders, bubblers and related packaging materials, unless otherwise stated as sold, belong to the assets of SAFC Hitech. Any transferrance and sale to third parties is strictly prohibited. The receiver (customer) accepts responsibility of safe keeping and returning the cylinders and bubblers in the correct packaging relative to the hazard classification and transport regulations. Each container has a unique serial number and so is traceable. Customers will be liable for extra charges if either containers, cylinders or bubblers owned by SAFC Hitech are returned in a reduced state and deemed unfit for application, or are not returned.
   
   Consignment of product – any product/packaging that is situated at a customer site in consignment stock will be subject to an annual check by SAFC Hitech.
   
   When a container, cylinder or bubbler is purchased by a customer, the customer then becomes responsible for all additional charges related to that container to ensure that it is fit for use.
   
   EpiSensors™ (liquid level sensors) remain the property of SAFC Hitech.
   
   
7. HEALTH AND SAFETY
   SAFC Hitech hereby gives notice to the customer that it has available information and literature concerning the conditions necessary to ensure that the goods supplied hereunder will be safe and without risk to health when properly used. If the customer is not already in possession of literature or requires any information, or advice in connection with the safe use of goods, the customer should immediately contact SAFC Hitech.
   
   
8. LAW
   These terms and conditions shall be governed by English Law.
