2. TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SALE

BINDING AGREEMENT

These terms and conditions of sale (“Sale Terms”) constitute a binding agreement between alpha-beat (referred to in these Sale Terms variously as “We”, “alpha-beat”, “Us”, “Our”) and its customers (referred to in these Sale Terms as “You”) which applies to all purchases of items by You from the alpha-beat.com website. 

You agree not to change these Sale Terms from the form presented by Us.  All other terms and conditions including those in any order submitted by You are expressly excluded and shall have no effect.  All communications made thus far by Us shall be construed as invitations to treat.  For larger orders (such designation to be determined by Us) We may notify You orally of alternate delivery terms and any such terms so notified by Us shall constitute part of these Sale Terms.

By submitting an order You make an offer of contract which is not binding until accepted by Us either by sending You an email which is received by You or the despatching by Us or our supplier of the goods to You with a despatch note issued to You by Us.  Receipt by Us of an order via the alpha-beat.com website by Us does not constitute acceptance of an order. We reserve the right to refuse your offer for any reason. 

Our employees, agents or representatives are not authorised to make any representations concerning the goods supplied under these Sale Terms, unless such representations are confirmed in writing by an authorised representative of alpha-beat.

Any errors or omissions in any catalogue, sales literature, price list, despatch note, invoice or other documentation or any information issued by Us from time to time shall be subject to correction without liability on Our part.  You will be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of any order submitted by You, and for the giving of such information as is necessary relating to the Sale Terms and delivery (as the case may be) to enable us to deliver the goods to the delivery address notified by You.  When writing to Us You will use your account number and purchase order number. 

PRICES AND PAYMENT

All prices stated in any of Our web pages may be altered by Us at any time without notice to You. The prices stated within the alpha-beat.com website shall be the current prices for the items concerned unless changed by Us in accordance with these Sale Terms. 

Prices for goods under these Sale Terms shall either be the price payable for such items at the time We accept your order in accordance with these Sale Terms or where applicable, at the time when your payment is cleared, subject to Our reserving the right (by giving notice in writing to You at any time before delivery) to increase the price of the applicable goods to reflect any increase in the cost of the goods to Us which is due to any matters beyond our reasonable control including without limitation any increase in carriage related costs or any other applicable duties or taxes. 

Our prices stated on Our website will (unless amended under these Sale Terms) apply as at the time You place an order and such prices include VAT.  Most items are priced to include delivery charges within the UK.  Where a price does not include the delivery charge the delivery charge that is applicable will be expressly made clear to You before You make a purchasing decision.

You are required to pay in full the price charged for your goods when making your order.  It is the policy of alpha-beat to despatch the goods You have ordered and Our being satisfied that the payment(s) in question have cleared. 

You agree and acknowledge that the transmission of your credit card number or other data in relation to payment for the goods shall be at your entire risk.  alpha-beat under no circumstances bears any responsibility or liability in relation to failures in transmission of information, deletion, non-delivery or failure to store any communications by You.

DELIVERY

We shall arrange delivery of the goods to the delivery address notified to Us by You.  We aim to deliver within [  ] days within the UK.  If your order is from outside the UK we will indicate the approximate time within which we intend to deliver on Our confirmation of acceptance of Your order.

We shall use all reasonable endeavours to deliver the goods to the address supplied by You at the time of ordering by any delivery date estimated by Us. For the avoidance of doubt You agree that the delivery date is not guaranteed or of the essence of the agreement between You and alpha-beat under these Sale Terms and We shall in no circumstances be liable to You for any loss, damages, expenses or charges incurred by You due to the late delivery of the goods. 

Goods delivered to You shall be deemed accepted by You and You shall inspect the goods immediately on delivery and in all cases shall inform Us in writing within 5 days of delivery of any damage, shortage, non-delivery or any other defect of or in relation to the goods. 

Where the goods are being purchased by a business for use in the business and delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by Us to deliver one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Sale Terms or any claim by You in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle You to treat the agreement between Us as terminated. 

TITLE AND RISK

Title in the goods shall not pass to You until We have received in full all monies owed by You under this or any other agreement for the purchase of goods.  Risk of damage to or loss of the goods shall pass to You at the time of despatch by Us, or if You wrongly fail to take delivery of the goods, at the time when we have tendered delivery of the goods to You. 

CANCELLATION
