Terms, Conditions & Privacy

 

'The seller' refers to ‘Newtons Paints Ltd’.

'The buyer' refers to any legal entity purchasing from the seller.

 

 

Where the seller accepts the buyer's order these terms and conditions (together with the acceptance) constitute the entire agreement between the seller and the buyer and it is expressly agreed that there are no other understandings, representations or warranties of any kind (express or implied) forming part of this contract. In particular:

 

Any condition contained in the buyer's order which is inconsistent with, qualifies or is contrary to these conditions shall have no effect unless that condition is expressly accepted in writing by the seller.

 

Any variation, waiver or cancellation of the buyer's order shall have no effect unless accepted in writing by the seller. Where the seller accepts cancellation the seller may levy a handling charge of up to 15% of the price.

 

Where the buyer and the seller agree to a variation in the quantity of the goods, the goods shall be priced either at the rate applicable to the original quantity or the revised quantity at the absolute discretion of the seller.

 

 

The seller's website and advertising only constitute an invitation to treat. Ordering goods (online or otherwise) constitutes an offer by the buyer to buy in accordance with these terms and conditions. The seller's acceptance occurs (and the contract is formed) when the goods are despatched to the buyer.

 

 

The seller reserves the right to despatch the buyer's order in one delivery or by installments. Failure to deliver any installment shall not entitle the buyer to repudiate the contract as to any installments already delivered. The buyer may cancel any undelivered installments.

 

Any quotations of delivery times by the seller are made in good faith but are estimates and the seller shall not be bound by such quotation.

 

The seller will select the method/type of delivery. The Seller will determine applicable delivery fees to apply. Where the buyer requests another method of delivery (eg Saturday or urgent delivery) and the seller agrees in writing then the buyer shall meet the cost of that delivery.

 

 

Liability for shortages in the quantity of goods delivered is limited to making up the shortages. No claim for shortages in quantity will be allowed unless the customer gives notification of the shortage in writing within 7 days of the delivery and provides a reasonable opportunity for the seller to investigate the claim.

 

Goods leaving the seller's premises are adequately packed. Claims for damage or loss in transit must be made against the carrier in the prescribed manner:

 

Prior to acknowledging delivery to the carrier the buyer must ensure that the complete consignment as per the carrier's note has been received.

 

Should there be a shortage or visible damage to outer packaging the carrier's note must be endorsed accordingly.

Within 7 days of receipt of consignment the buyer must ensure that all goods received are in good order and condition.

 

No claims will be considered after 7 days of receipt of goods. While no liability for goods damaged or lost in transit will be accepted by the seller details of any claim should be advised to the seller.

 

Goods supplied in accordance with the buyer's order can only be returned with the express approval of the seller.

 

Requests to return goods must be submitted within 5 days from the date of supply and the original invoice number must be quoted. Goods must then be returned to our warehouse within 7 days of us agreeing to credit or refund the goods. If they are returned later than this, we will not be able to process this request.

 

Where goods are accepted (for credit or refund at the seller’s discretion) they must be delivered at the buyer's expense into the seller's store in original condition and packaging.

 

The seller reserves the right to levy a restocking fee against any returns the seller may agree to accept. Such fees may be up to 10% of the invoice price and levied at the seller's absolute discretion.

 

 

The buyer shall ensure that the goods ordered are fit and suitable for the purpose for which they are required and the seller is under no liability if they are not.

 

The buyer is entitled to only such benefits as the seller may receive under any guarantee given to the seller by the manufacturer of the goods.

 

Where goods are returned for warranty purposes the buyer shall pay for all shipping expenses required to deliver the goods to and from the seller's store in original packaging.

 

The seller is not responsible of any shipment, administrative, manufacturing or other delays incurred while the goods are not in the possession of the seller.

 

Once the goods are inspected the manufacturer may deem any reported defect a result of misuse or causes other than those covered by the warranty, the judgment of the manufacturer is considered correct and final and cannot be disputed by the buyer or the seller. Where the cause of the defect is not covered by the warranty the buyer is liable to pay for all expenses incurred by the seller during the entire claim process, in addition to any costs and penalties charged to the seller by other parties such as the manufacturer.

 

In lieu of any warranty, condition, or liability by law, the seller's liability in respect of any defect in or failure of the goods supplied, or for any loss, injury, or damage attributable thereto, is limited to making good the replacement or repair of defects arising under normal proper use and maintenance arising solely from faulty design, materials, or workmanship within the guarantee period, if stated, or otherwise within 3 months of the date of supply, provided always that such defective parts are promptly returned to the seller, unless otherwise arranged. The seller shall not be liable for consequential, indirect or special damages or loss of profits under any circumstances. At the termination of the appropriate period (i.e. guarantee period or 3 months as indicated above) all liability on the seller's part ceases.

 

The warranty does not cover damage from misuse, accident, negligent, inappropriate or improper operation, maintenance, installation, modification or adjustment.

 

The seller's liability under this contract and the warranty in this clause is confined to the buyer named in this contract, it being agreed that the seller has no liability to any purchaser of the goods from the buyer in that the buyer's rights under the contract are not assignable without the prior written consent of the seller.

 

 

Risk (including insurance responsibility) shall pass to the buyer on collection of the goods by the buyer or on the delivery by the seller or by the source to the buyer or his agent or to a carrier for delivery to the buyer.

 

Ownership of all goods sold by the seller ("the goods") is retained by the seller until full payment is received for all amounts owing in respect of all goods supplied. This provision is designed to protect the seller in the event of the bankruptcy, receivership or liquidation of the buyer, a seizure of goods by a creditor of the buyer or default in payment.

 

Until full payment is made the buyer agrees to:

 

Enable the goods to be readily identifiable as the property of the seller.

Maintain the goods so supplied in good order and condition and to return the goods immediately if called upon to do so by the seller.

On a sale or other realisation of the goods the buyer shall identify and separately account for the proceeds of sale. Prior to the buyer acquiring property in any goods the seller may at any time directly or by its agents or servants enter upon any land, premises or property where it believes such goods may be to inspect and/or remove the goods, by force if reasonably necessary. If the goods are removed then:

 

The right of the buyer or any agent of the buyer to possession of any goods and right to sell or otherwise dispose of the goods shall immediately and without the necessity of any notice terminate, and,

The buyer will reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the seller, its employees and agents in respect of any costs (including legal costs on a solicitor-client basis), expenses, loss or damage (including such to any third parties) in respect of the exercise or attempted exercise of the seller's remedies and,

The seller may cancel any or all contracts with the buyer and the seller will not be liable to the buyer therefore, and,

All moneys owing by the buyer to the seller on any account whatsoever shall become immediately due and payable, and,

The value of such goods seized shall be assessed as the lesser of current market value or the invoice value at the time of sale and may be subject to a restocking fee as for Return of Goods for Credit or Refund above. Any excess after satisfying all of the buyer's payment obligations (including under the indemnity) will be paid to the buyer.

 

 

The seller is entitled at any time to correct all errors and omissions (whether clerical, computational or otherwise) in any advertising, quotation, invoice or acknowledgement. Due to the seller's administrative processes, errors (if any) may be discovered up to 30 days after the goods have been delivered to the buyer. The seller will notify they buyer promptly of any error or omission discovered by the seller, and give the buyer the option of returning the goods for a full refund.

 

 

Modifications and improvements to the seller's products are constantly being made. Also, the seller relies on information from its suppliers and product manufactures. Descriptions, illustrations and literature are therefore not binding on the seller. If the goods do not match the description on the seller's website, the buyer should inform the seller immediately so that the seller may take appropriate action.

The buyer shall be solely responsible for obtaining any necessary permits under and for compliance with all legislation, regulations, by-laws or rules having the force of law in connection with the installation and operation of the goods.

DPS itself cannot, of course, control the use or disclosure by your supplier of any information which they obtain from you.

Collection of Information

Use and Disclosure of Information

DPS uses the information to obtain authorization of the transaction from the Issuing bank of the credit card and DPS's own or the Merchant's bank and to process the payment. Some details from the transaction (such as name, email and delivery address) may be made available to the Merchant or Acquirer through Payline - DPS web based transactions management system, which allows Merchants to track transactions and process refunds.

Security

DPS is committed to data security. DPS uses a variety of technologies and procedures to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, use or disclosure. For example, DPS stores the data in computer servers with limited access that are located in controlled facilities secured by the latest in surveillance and security technology.

PCI DSS

PCI DSS, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is a set of security requirements relating to the protection of card holder data. The standard is governed by the PCI Security Standards Council, an organisation put together by most of the major card schemes VISA, MasterCard, American Express, JCB and Discover. It's relevant for any entity that stores or transmits sensitive card holder data, that being generally things like the PAN (card number), Card security code, track data, PIN block. The current version of the standard is Version 1.2. Preceding PCI-DSS the card schemes had their own standards, the VISA Account Information Security (AIS) standard formed the basis to most of the PCI-DSS requirements."
