Please read these general terms and conditions of sale ("the Conditions") carefully as they together with your order confirmation constitute the contract (the 'Contract') between EV Connectors Ltd. ("us"/"we"/"our") and you ("you"/"your"/"yourself") for the sale of the goods you purchase on, or as a result of you viewing our product range in either our catalogue or on www.evconnectors.com (the "Site").

By placing an order you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to these Conditions in their entirety. Please check that the details on your order are complete and accurate before you commit yourself to this Contract. Please ensure that you have read and understood these Conditions before you submit your order, because you will be bound by these Conditions once a contract comes into existence between us in accordance with Clause 1.3. If you do not agree with these Conditions, you must not place an order for any goods. In these Conditions, "Goods" means the goods which we supply to you in accordance with these Conditions.

We reserve the right to revise and amend these Conditions from time to time to reflect changes in market conditions affecting our business, changes in payment methods or changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements. You will be subject to the Conditions in force at the time that you order the Goods from us. We shall use our reasonable endeavours to notify you of any changes to these Conditions.

1.ORDER

1.1 You may place an order by:

1.1.1 Visiting our online store on our Site after logging into or creating your personal account and following the process for submitting an order as set out on our Site and clicking the appropriate confirmation button.

1.1.2 Telephoning us on our order line, the details of which can be found on the 'Contact Us' page on our Site. The order request will be processed within the same working day. Our current operating times are 9:00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday.

1.1.3 Submitting an order request by fax via the fax number which can be found on the 'Contact Us' page on our Site. This order request will be processed on the same working day.

1.1.4 Posting your order request to our address Pr. Bernhardlaan 33BS, 3555AB Utrecht The Netherlands. This order request will be processed within one working day of the receipt of your mail order request.

1.1.5 Emailing your order request to us at info@matrixevbox.eu. This order request will be processed within one working day following receipt of your e-mail.

1.2 By placing an order request, you make us an offer to purchase the Goods you have selected in accordance with these Conditions. We may or may not accept your order request at our sole discretion.

1.3 These Conditions will become binding on you and us when we issue you with written confirmation of your order. The order confirmation is our notification to you that we have accepted your order request and that your payment has been authorised. If we cannot accept your order because, for example, the Goods you have selected are not available or because your payment has not been authorised we will attempt to contact you by e-mail or telephone in order to resolve any outstanding issues.

1.4 Whilst we make every effort to supply you with the Goods listed on the order confirmation, there may be occasions where we are unable to supply these Goods because, for example (i) such Goods are no longer being manufactured or available; or (ii) we are unable to source relevant components; or (iii) if there was a pricing error on the Site. In such circumstances we will contact you to inform you of any issues preventing us from confirming your order request and may suggest alternative Goods that you might wish to purchase. If you do not wish to accept our suggestions then we will cancel your order in relation to those Goods we cannot supply and repay you any money that you may have paid to us in respect of those Goods as soon as reasonably possible. Repayment of such monies will be the extent of our liability.

1.5 Where an order is made by telephone, we do not require written confirmation of such an order. If you do send written confirmation of an order please ensure that the order is clearly endorsed "confirmation". Failure to so endorse the confirmation will result in the order being duplicated. You will then be responsible for settlement of the duplicated order in full. If the duplicated order is not required it will be subject to Clause 7 (Returns) below.

2. PRICE

2.1 The price of the Goods will be as set out in the order confirmation we provide to you. While we make every endeavour to maintain our prices at their present low level we reserve the right to change our prices without prior notice (including, in particular, in the event of exchange rate variations). Price changes will not affect any orders that we have already confirmed to you in writing. Prices for Goods are in Euro, exclusive of VAT unless otherwise stated. Where Goods are to be made in instalments ('scheduled delivery') the price payable for them will be the price that is applicable at the time of the despatch of the first batch of the Goods, but, where scheduled delivery may continue for a period of 90 days or more, we reserve the right to charge you further amounts if the price of the Goods increases before the end of that period. We shall use all reasonable endeavours to inform you of any price increases.

2.2 All prices are exclusive of VAT unless otherwise indicated. VAT is payable by you at the applicable rate. If you make a purchase from outside of the EU you will not be eligible for the payment of VAT but may be subject to an analogous sales tax under the laws of the country from which you make your purchase.

2.3 Delivery costs are not included in the prices quoted for the Goods but are quoted for separately prior to us confirming your order request.

2.4 If there is a pricing error on our Site or in our catalogue, we are under no obligation to provide the Goods to you at the incorrect price (even if we have sent you an order confirmation). However we will endeavour to contact you to inform you of the pricing error so that you can confirm whether you wish to proceed with your order. If you do not wish to proceed, we will cancel your order and return any prepaid monies to you as soon as reasonably practicable.

2.5 Payment for all Goods must be by credit or debit card or any alternative method of payment which may be displayed on the Site. Please refer to Clause 3.2 regarding our facilities for payment on account.

3. PAYMENT

3.1 When you purchase Goods on the Site, payment in full must be made at the time of completing the online ordering process. Any items on back order at the time of placing your order will be charged for at that time, except if paying on account pursuant to Clause 2.5 above. Where we receive order requests by post, facsimile or e-mail then we shall, at our sole discretion, and subject to satisfactory references (where deemed appropriate by us), invoice you for the Goods on or soon after despatch. In this case, payment is due at the end of the month after the month stated in the date of the invoice (the "Due Date").

3.2 Time for payment is of the essence of this Contract. If you fail to make any payment on the Due Date we have the right (without limiting other remedies or rights we may have at law or otherwise) to cancel the order and/or suspend any further deliveries and charge interest on all outstanding balances calculated on a daily basis at the rate of 4% per annum above the current base lending rate of the ING Bank. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the Due Date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgement. You must pay us interest together with the overdue amount.

3.3 If you dispute any payment owing to us in good faith and let us know promptly after you have received the invoice that you dispute it, then Clause 3.3 shall not apply for the period of the dispute.

3.4 If any undisputed sum of money is due from you, the same may be deducted from any sum then due or which at any time becomes due to you under this or any other agreement between us and you.

3.5 Single invoices are rendered; an administration charge will be made for any additional copies requested.

4.2 For Business Customers (as the term is defined below), risk of damage or loss of the Goods shall pass to Business Customers on delivery of the Goods to the carrier.

4.3 Clauses 4.4 to 4.6 inclusive shall apply only to those customers who buy Goods in the course of business and not as a consumer ('Business Customers').

4.4 Until payment is made in full you must store the Goods in such a way that they are kept safe and secure and are clearly marked as our property. You must not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods.

4.5 Until ownership has passed to you we retain full legal and beneficial title to the Goods and reserve the right at any time to require you to deliver up the Goods to us and, if you fail to do so forthwith upon our request, to enter upon any of your premises or of any third party where the Goods are stored and repossess the Goods.

4.6 Nevertheless you shall be entitled to sell the Goods either in their original state or incorporated into other products acting as our agents but in these circumstances the title to the Goods shall remain with us, and you shall remain fully accountable to us for the proceeds of the sale of those Goods.

We will let you know if we become aware of an unexpected delay and will arrange a new delivery date with you.

5.7 If you fail to take delivery of your order on the agreed date, then we will store the Goods until delivery takes place and may charge you a reasonable sum to cover any re-delivery expenses incurred by us.

5.8 In the rare event that we are prevented or fail to deliver the Goods, our liability (and your sole and exclusive remedy) for such non-delivery will be limited to us replacing the Goods within a reasonable time or refunding the price paid by you in respect of such Goods.
