No Order shall bind the Company until the Company sends written confirmation of its acceptance of such Order to the Customer, save that in the event the Company does not send such written confirmation, or reject the Order, within 3 Business Days, the Order shall be deemed to be accepted by the Company, at which point the Contract shall come into existence.
1.2 Prevailing Terms. These Terms and Conditions shall prevail over, and apply to the Contract 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 and no conduct of the Company shall constitute acceptance of any terms and conditions put forward by the Customer.
1.3 Samples and Descriptions. Any samples, drawings or advertising produced by the Company and any descriptions or illustrations contained in the Company’s brochures, websites or any other publications, videos or content produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods referred to in them shall not form part of the Contract nor have any contractual force.
1.4 Quotations. A quotation for the Goods and/or Services given by the Company shall not constitute an offer. A quotation shall only be valid for a period of 30 days from its date of issue.
