2.       Basis of contract

2.1.    Save in respect of Goods and/or Services being delivered pursuant to the terms of an existing agreement between the parties, which agreement has been reduced to writing and signed for and on behalf of the Supplier and CTT (“an Executed Agreement”), the PO constitutes an offer by CTT to purchase the Goods and/or Services from Supplier subject to the Conditions. The Conditions are the only conditions upon which CTT deals with Supplier and shall govern the Contract to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions including, without limitation, any in any quotation, acknowledgement, invoice or other document issued by Supplier or which may be implied by custom, practice or course of dealing unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by CTT. With respect to Goods and/or Services being delivered pursuant to the terms of an Executed Agreement, the terms of the Executed Agreement shall apply to the exclusion of the Conditions.

2.2.    The PO shall be deemed accepted subject to the Conditions (and the Contract shall come into existence) on the earlier of (a) Supplier issuing written acceptance of the PO; and (b) any act of Supplier consistent with fulfilling the PO.

2.3.    The Conditions apply to the supply of both Goods and Services.

 

3.       Supply and Delivery of Goods

3.1.    Supplier shall properly pack and secure the Goods so as to reach CTT in good condition. CTT may reject Goods damaged in transit or that are inadequately packaged or labelled. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by CTT, packaging is non- returnable. All Goods supplied shall, to the extent relevant (i) where specified in the additional conditions expressly set out in the PO, be accompanied by complete, accurate and up to date Certificates of Conformance and product safety data sheets; and, (ii) if manufactured by way of batch production, shall be accompanied by written confirmation of batch information relating to the Goods.

3.2.    Supplier shall ensure that each delivery is accompanied by a delivery note showing the date of the PO; the PO number; the type and quantity of Goods; any applicable storage instructions; and, where delivery is by instalments, the balance of Goods yet to be delivered.

3.3.    Supplier shall deliver the Goods to, and unload them at, the Delivery Location during CTT’s normal hours of business (or as otherwise instructed by CTT in writing) on the date specified in the PO. Delivery shall be deemed completed on completion of such unloading. Time of delivery is of the essence.

3.4.    If Supplier delivers (i) less than 95%; or (ii) more than 100% of the quantity of Goods ordered CTT may reject the Goods or, in the case of excess quantity, the excess Goods. Rejected Goods shall be returnable at Supplier’s risk and expense. If CTT accepts a delivery of less than the quantity of Goods ordered, a pro rata adjustment shall be made to the relevant invoice.

3.5.    Supplier shall not deliver Goods in instalments without CTT’s prior written consent. If CTT agrees to delivery by instalments, the Goods may be invoiced and paid for separately. Failure by Supplier to deliver any instalment on time or at all or any defect in any instalment shall entitle CTT to the remedies set out in Condition 6.1.

3.6.    Title and risk in the Goods shall pass to CTT on completion of delivery at the Delivery Location.

3.7.    CTT may (but is not obliged to) inspect/test the Goods prior to delivery.

Notwithstanding any such inspection or testing, Supplier shall remain fully responsible for the Goods and the same shall not reduce or otherwise affect CTT’s rights and Supplier’s obligations under the Contract and CTT shall have the right to conduct further inspections/tests after delivery and/or after Supplier has carried out any remedial action.
