3. THE SUPPLIER’S CONTRACT WITH THE CUSTOMER

3.1. These terms and conditions (Terms) apply to the Order by the Customer and supply of Services by the Supplier to the Customer. They apply to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.

4. PLACING AN ORDER AND ITS ACCEPTANCE

4.1. The Customer should follow the onscreen prompts to place an Order via the Supplier’s website. The Supplier’s website ordering process allows the Customer to check and amend any errors before submitting its order to the Supplier. Each Order is an offer by the Customer to buy the Services specified in the Order subject to these Terms.

4.2. The Customer should check its Order carefully before submitting it and must ensure that its Order and any specification submitted by it are complete and accurate.

4.3. After the Customer places its Order via the Supplier’s website, the Customer will receive an email from the Supplier acknowledging that the Supplier has received it, but this does not mean that the Customer’s Order has been accepted. The Supplier’s acceptance of the Customer’s Order will take place as described in clause 4.4.

4.4. The Supplier’s acceptance of the Customer’s Order takes place when the Supplier issues its written acceptance of the Customer’s Order or if earlier takes steps to fulfil the Customer’s Order, at which point and on which date the Contract between the Customer and the Supplier will come into existence. The Supplier may accept the Customer’s Order by sending its invoice to the Customer.
