Terms & Conditions

Delivery And Installation

1. The Purchaser must deliver an acceptance certificate in the form provided by Delta when the Goods are delivered to it. This will be taken to be delivery of the Goods by Delta and acceptance of the Goods by the Purchaser for the purposes of this agreement.

2. Delta is not liable for failure or delay in obtaining delivering or installing the Goods or putting them in good working order.

Purchase Price And Reservation Of Title

3.1 The Purchaser must pay 10% of the Purchase Price to Delta on execution of this agreement. Subject to clause 3.2(b), the Purchaser must pay the remaining of the Purchase Price on start up and commissioning in the case of installation being offered orat time of invoicing in the case of supply only.

3.2 The following are separate and independent conditions of this agreement.

  • Despite delivery to the Purchaser, ownership and property in the Goods, only passes from Delta to the Purchaser when payment in full (“payment”) for the Goods has been received by Delta. Until that time, the Purchaser must ensure that the Goods are readily identifiable as the property of Delta and must keep the Goods as bailee for and on behalf of Delta.
  • Payment will become due immediately upon the commencement of any act or proceeding to bankrupt the Purchaser.
  • If the period in clause 3.1 expires without the Purchaser paying the remaining balance of the Purchase Price, or if payment becomes due immediately under clause 3.2(b), payment must be made within 5 days of final demand in writing made by Delta. If payment is not made within that 5 days, then without prejudice to any other remedies Delta may have, the Purchaser irrevocably authorises Delta to enter the premises where the Goods are stored (“Premises”) and re-take possession of the Goods (even if they have become a fixture at common law). The Purchaser indemnifies Delta against any liability for any cost, damages and expenses arising from such repossession, including but not limited to solicitor/client legal expenses and any damage caused to the Premises. If Delta re-takes possession of the Goods in this way, Delta may then re-sell the Goods.
  • Despite the above, risk passes to the Purchaser on delivery of the Goods to the Purchaser’s premises unless otherwise agreed, and the Purchaser must at it’s own expense insure the Goods against any damage howsoever caused, and must maintain that insurance until ownership and property in the Goods passes to the purchaser.
