The Purchaser shall provide all requisite instructions, documents, licences and authorisations required for or relevant to the delivery of the Goods to enable delivery to take place. The Seller shall not be liable for any failure or delay in delivery as a result of the Purchaser failing to comply with this condition or any other condition. Moreover, the Seller shall be entitled to defer delivery until any monies due from the Purchaser have been received.

8.2 The Seller (or its nominated third party courier) will plan to deliver the Purchaser’s Order at the delivery address you provided to their sales contact. A member of Dura Composites staff will be in contact to arrange a suitable delivery day. On occasion the Seller may have to change or cancel delivery dates or times at short notice due to the availability of suitable vehicles or drivers, or for other circumstances outside of its control.

8.3 A surcharge of 100% of the delivery fee may be applied if the courier tries to deliver the Goods and is unable to deliver, if you keep the delivery vehicle waiting for an unreasonable time, or if delivery is attempted on the agreed date and it is turned away or no one is available to receive the goods. If the courier has attempted delivery on the agreed day or within the timeframe required by the Purchaser and the Goods are not deliverable, the Purchaser may be liable for and charged the surcharge. If however, the courier has missed the required delivery date or time window then the Purchaser will not be liable for the surcharge.

8.7 If the Purchaser fails to take delivery or collection of the Goods or fails to give the Seller adequate delivery instructions at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond the Purchaser’s reasonable control or by reason of the Seller’s fault) then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller may at its option;

  • store the Goods until actual delivery and charge the Purchaser for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage or;
  • sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to the Purchaser for the excess over the price under the Contract or charge the Purchaser for any shortfall below the price under the Contract.

8.11 Upon delivery of the goods, the Purchaser will be asked to sign a Proof of Delivery to acknowledge safe receipt. It is the responsibility of the Purchaser to ensure that the number of packages delivered corresponds with the number stated on the delivery note.
