1. Definitions

  • Customer: The buyer of goods from Mike Percy.
  • Website: means the website at https://mikepercy.uk
  • Privacy Policy: means this hyperlinked Privacy Policy.

2. General

All orders for products on this website are subject to these terms and conditions. No other terms will apply unless agreed in writing, or expressly stated otherwise herein.

All product descriptions on the website or otherwise communicated to any purchaser (the “Customer”) are approximate only and shall not form any part of the contract.

Mike Percy shall not be responsible for any misrepresentations or mistakes contained in the website or advertisement. An invitation to purchase products on the website is not an acceptance of an offer; it only allows the Customer to make an offer.

When Mike Percy confirms pricing and delivery dates to the Customer in writing (via email or direct digital message), the contract will then come into existence between Mike Percy and the Customer.

3. Prices

Mike Percy has the right to change any price without prior notification at any time. Customer is informed that prices may change and accepts this.

The price of an ordered product will be as set out on the website at the time of order acceptance, except for products ordered for delivery at a future specified date (“forward orders”). The price for forward orders may be varied by Mike Percy after the date of order acceptance by written notice to the Customer.

The prices listed do not account for applicable local sales taxes, which Mike Percy will charge at the rate applicable at the time of order acceptance, depending on where the Customer resides.

4. Ordering

Mike Percy reserves the right to decline to trade with any individual or entity. Mike Percy may decline to accept any order, whether or not payment has been received, by giving notice of non-acceptance to the Customer by telephone, email or digital message within a reasonable period of receipt of the order.

Mike Percy carries out orders to the Customer’s requirements but may provide substitute products where requested by the Customer, or where the product has been superseded by the latest version. If all orders are not able to be completely fulfilled by Mike Percy’s stock, the portion not fulfilled may, at the customer’s option, either be put on back order to be fulfilled when Mike Percy next has stock or be refunded to the customer.

5. Delivery

The delivery prices are as set out on the website at the time of order or will be notified to the customer at the time of order. Delivery will be made to the Customer’s usual business address unless otherwise agreed in writing.

The information displayed on Mike Percy’s website is not meant to be a guarantee of delivery times or dates and is only to be considered an estimate. If a delay in delivery occurs, Mike Percy shall not be responsible.

Time for delivery shall not be a prerequisite for the order to proceed.

Delivery of products requiring special handling or custom development may (because of the nature of the products) take longer to be delivered.

6. Inspection, Delays and Non-Delivery

The Customer must inspect the products as soon as is reasonably possible after delivery or collection. The Customer shall, within 30 days of the date of delivery or collection give notice to Mike Percy in detail of:

a) Any defect in the product that is apparent on reasonable examination. In this case Mike Percy shall, at Mike Percy’s discretion, replace the products or refund the purchase price.

b) Any shortfall in products delivered. In this case Mike Percy shall, at its discretion, deliver the undelivered products or refund the price of the undelivered products;

c) Any delivery of products not in accordance with the order, Mike Percy shall, at Mike Percy’s discretion, replace the products or refund the purchase price;

d) Any non-delivery of the products (in which case the time limit is within 10 days of the estimated despatch date). In this case Mike Percy shall deliver the undelivered products or refund the price of the undelivered products.

If the Customer fails to give any such notice, the products shall be conclusively presumed to be, in all respects, in accordance with the order and free from apparent defects, and the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the products accordingly.

Mike Percy’s record of delivery or collection will be deemed conclusive proof of satisfactory fulfilment.

7. Payment

If Mike Percy has not granted credit to the Customer, payment terms are cash with order (payment in full prior to order processing).

Credit terms (subject to satisfactory references and at Mike Percy’s absolute discretion) are available. If credit has been granted, on acceptance of a Customer’s order, Mike Percy will send an invoice to the Customer via email in PDF format, unless otherwise agreed between Mike Percy and the Customer. The Customer must pay for the product by the 20th day of the following month. No set-off, deduction or counterclaim may be applied.

If any sum is not paid on the due date for payment then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, all sums then outstanding from the Customer will immediately become due and payable.

Mike Percy may also charge the Customer interest from the due date until payment is made in full (both before and after any judgement) on the amount unpaid at a rate which is 10 per cent of the invoiced goods, per calendar month. Mike Percy may stop accepting orders and/or suspend deliveries until payments are made in full.

8. Ownership and Risk

In the case of products to be delivered to the Customer’s property, the risk of loss of or damage to the products shall pass to the Customer on confirmation of delivery being provided to Mike Percy by the appointed courier. Where products which the Customer orders are to be collected from Mike Percy, risk of damage or loss to the products shall pass to the Customer at the time of collection.

Ownership of any product supplied shall not pass to the Customer until full payment of the purchase price of the products and of all other amounts owing to Mike Percy has been made (in cash or cleared funds). If the Customer is late in paying any sum, Mike Percy shall be entitled to the immediate return of all products where ownership has not passed to the Customer. The Customer authorises Mike Percy and its agents to recover any such products in such circumstance, and to enter any premises of the Customer for that purpose.

Demand for or recovery of the products by Mike Percy shall not of itself discharge either the Customer’s liability to pay the whole of the price and take delivery of the products or Mike Percy’s right to take reasonable action for the whole of the goods invoiced price.

9. Product and Availability Information
