All orders for products and services in the WDC catalogue are accepted by WDC subject to these terms and conditions of sale. No other terms will apply to the supply of products and services by WDC unless agreed in writing by an authorised signatory of WDC or expressly stated otherwise in these terms and conditions of sale.
All descriptions of the products and services contained on the WDC website and in the WDC catalogue or otherwise communicated to the Customer are approximate only and shall not form any part of the contract between WDC and the Customer. WDC shall not be liable to the Customer for any errors or omissions in its website or catalogue. The advertising of products and services on the WDC website and in the catalogue is not an offer capable of acceptance, it merely constitutes an invitation by WDC for the Customer to make an offer to purchase products and services.
These terms and conditions do not apply to export transactions, to which separate terms and conditions of sale apply.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these terms and conditions of sale shall affect the statutory rights of a Customer who deals as a consumer.
Prices
The prices of the products and services are as set out on the WDC website and catalogue that is current at the date of despatch of the ordered products or the date of provision of the ordered services. All prices include VAT. WDC reserves the right to change prices without prior notice at any time.
Ordering
WDC reserves the right to decline to trade with any company or person. In addition, WDC may decline to accept any order, whether or not payment has been received, by giving notice of non-acceptance to the Customer by telephone or email within a reasonable period of receipt by WDC of the order.
WDC executes orders to the Customer’s requirements and does not substitute one product for another unless requested by the Customer, or unless the product has been superseded by the latest version. To the extent that orders cannot be fulfilled completely from stock, the unfulfilled balance will (at the Customer’s option) either be put on back order to be fulfilled when WDC next has available stock or be cancelled.
The Customer must submit orders using the WDC product codes and the price shown on the WDC website and in the WDC catalogue and must specify which delivery option is required. If the Customer confirms telephone, fax or internet orders, the confirmation must be marked ‘CONFIRMATION ONLY’ to avoid duplication.
Delivery
WDC will aim to deliver products in accordance with the Customer’s order. The Customer’s delivery options, and the prices for them, are set out on the WDC website, or will be notified to the Customer at the time of order. Delivery prices apply per order, irrespective of the number of products ordered. Delivery will be made to the Customer’s usual business address, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Times and dates for delivery quoted on the WDC website, in the catalogue or by WDC ‘s employees are approximate only and WDC shall not be liable for the consequences of any delay in delivery. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence.
If any delivery is late, the Customer must notify WDC, and WDC will endeavour to ascertain if the product has been delivered or the expected delivery time of the product to the Customer. WDC may also, at its discretion, refund the total delivery charge to the Customer. If a revised delivery time is not acceptable WDC may also, at its discretion, offer an alternative delivery option.
WDC will aim to deliver Non-stock items in accordance within the lead times published for them on the WDC website. All such lead times are approximate only, and no other delivery options are available for Non-stock products. WDC may, following Customer’s order, notify the Customer if WDC will be unable to fulfil any order for Non-stock products within that published lead time, and will provide alternative options.
Orders where total value of products in any such order is less than £500 are subject to an additional shipping and handling charge as published on the WDC website or quoted at the time of order (currently £15 but subject to change from time to time). Orders containing products with a total value of £500 or more will not be subject to an additional shipping and handling charge. These shipping and handling charges apply per order, irrespective of the number of products ordered, and will be charged against the first delivery of Extended Range products under the relevant order.
Inspection, Delivery Delays and Non-Delivery
The Customer must inspect the products as soon as is reasonably possible after delivery and shall, within 14 days of the date of delivery or, the due date for delivery, give notice to WDC in detail of:
Any defect in the product that is apparent on reasonable examination. In this case WDC shall, at WDC’s discretion, replace the products or refund the purchase price. In any event the Customer must refuse parcels delivered to it in a damaged condition;

If the Customer fails to give any such notice, the products shall be conclusively presumed to be, in all respects, in accordance with the order and free from apparent defects, and the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the products accordingly. WDC’s record of the products despatched (including the quantity) shall be conclusive evidence of the products received by the Customer, unless proved otherwise by the Customer.
The remedies set out above are the Customer’s exclusive remedies for non-delivery or short delivery of products, or for apparent defects in the products or delivery of products not in accordance with the order. WDC shall not be liable for any losses, consequential or otherwise, or for costs (including legal costs), expenses, liabilities, injuries, loss of profits, business or economic loss, depletion of goodwill, damages, claims, demands, proceedings, judgements or otherwise arising from these circumstances.

If credit has been granted, the Customer shall pay the price of the product or service within 30 days of the products being despatched. All payments must be made without any set-off, deduction or counterclaim.
If any sum is not paid on the due date for payment then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy:

The Customer authorises WDC and its agents to recover the products, and to enter any premises of the Customer for that purpose.
