13. MANUFACTURED GOODS
Any conditions stated below are in addition to our standard terms and conditions.
Terms of Manufacture, Finish and Delivery Terms.
- Any delivery periods given are only anticipated and are from approval of completed drawings/works or instructions. Should no approval be required the order will be issued for manufacture from date of completed drawings.
- Any prices quoted do not include for bolt down bolts, padlocks, locks etc. unless otherwise stated on our quotation.
- Manufactured goods prices will only include the Companies standard details, unless otherwise stated on our quotation. Any special requirements for hinges, latches, sloping bottoms, stepped panels etc. will be charged as an extra.
- Should materials be required to conform to a specific customer or British Standard this must be made clear at time of quotation, and repeated at time of the order.
With fabricated items certain stresses are held within the structure following their design and manufacture. During Galvanizing, relief of stresses present often takes place. This can cause a certain amount of distortion, over which we have no control or liability whatsoever, As the process involves total immersion of the steelwork into a bath of molten zinc, it is essential that provision is made for hollow sections / fabrications to have ventilation and drainage points to ensure complete safety within our works and also to ensure the best possible finish is achieved. We reserve the right to ventilate the job as we require.
Reactive steels are frequently encountered which can affect the surface appearance giving a varying degree of smoothness on coated surfaces. Procter Brothers Ltd has no control over the steel composition, and cannot be held responsible for difficulties arising to the surface finish.
POWDER COATING to EN13438
Powder coating is dependent on the surface to be coated. Where steel has been galvanized in accordance with BS EN 1461 for its protective qualities, a varying degree of surface smoothness, depending on the composition of the steel being galvanized can produce general roughness, lumpiness, runs, and pimples which is out of our control.
Fettling is a process which is adopted to remove lumps of Zinc, ash or any dross deposits. Please be advised that the finished product may have varying smoothness with the coated finish as described above, but this will still conform to BS EN ISO 1461 and EN 13438
It is your responsibility as the customer to notify us of any special requirements over and above the commercial quality produced under our normal procedures. Such quality may require additional work, which would be charged as an extra (if within our capability) we would insist of an example being approved before full production.
14. EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY
- Subject to Condition 17, the Company’s guarantee is provided by the Company and accepted by the Customer in substitution for all express or implied representations conditions and warranties statutory or otherwise as to (a) the state quality fitness for purpose or performance of the goods and (b) the standard of the Company’s workmanship and the state quality fitness or performance of any materials used in connection therewith and all such representations conditions and warranties are hereby expressly excluded.
- Subject to Condition 17, except for any liability which it may incur for death or personal injury resulting from negligence the Company shall not be liable in any manner whatsoever whether in contract, in tort, in misrepresentation or otherwise for any consequential or other loss damage or injury however caused which may arise out of or in connection with the supply of goods to the Customer (including goods supplied under the said guarantee) and the Company’s liability Is strictly limited to repairing, replacing or refunding the price of the goods In accordance with Condition 12.
The Company shall have a general lien in respect of all sums due from the Customer upon all goods to be supplied to such Customer or upon which work has been done on the Customer’s behalf and, upon 14 days’ written notice to the Customer, may sell such goods and apply the proceeds towards the satisfaction of the sums due to the Company.
16. FORCE MAJEURE
