Greentech International Ltd - www.gtrecycling.com - Terms and Conditions of Business

Your attention is drawn to the limitations and exclusions of our liability to you set out at clauses 11 and 12
Terms for our purchase of your used cartridges

If you wish us to purchase any of your used printer ink and toner cartridges, please provide details of the cartridges and arrange collection in accordance with our online procedure at www.gtrecycling.com/recycle. All requests must be for products with a minimum recycle value (as identified through our above procedure) of £20 (plus any VAT) per collection.
WE ONLY PAY FOR PRINTER MANUFACTURERS? OFFICIAL ORIGINAL BRANDED CARTRIDGES, NOT ?COMPATIBLE? OR ?REMANUFACTURED? PRODUCTS, AND WHICH MUST BE IN THEIR ORIGINAL OEM CONDITION WITHOUT HAVING BEEN REFILLED OR TAMPERED WITH IN ANY WAY.
Please note that by following the above procedure you are making an offer to us to purchase the described items and we may refuse this offer at our absolute discretion. If we accept the offer, this will create a legally binding contract between us and you cannot change your mind or require us to return the items after collection without our consent. We will though have the right to cancel this contract at any time and to refuse to collect or pay for items where any of these are not as described by you under the above online procedure or which we do not believe are the manufacturer?s official original branded cartridges or we believe have been tampered with or where you have not included all of the items identified for collection through our above procedure. In the event of cancellation for any of these reasons, we will arrange delivery back to you of any rejected goods but reserve the right to charge you our reasonable costs of collection and re-delivery.
On acceptance of your items, we will pay you the recycle value for the accepted items as identified through our above procedure. Payment will usually be made by cheque within 5 days of our receiving the items. The price identified as above is inclusive of any VAT or other sales taxes that you are required to charge us and if any such taxes apply then you must provide us with a valid tax invoice before payment will be made by us.
In offering any items to us, you warrant that the items are as you have described and that you own the items and have the full legal right and title to sell them to us.
Any samples, drawings, descriptions or advertising we issue, and any descriptions or illustrations contained in our catalogues or brochures, are issued or published solely to provide you with an approximate idea of the goods and services they describe. They do not form part of the contract between you and us or any other contract between you and us for the sale of the goods or supply of services. This does not limit our liability for any fraudulent misrepresentation.
PLEASE NOTE IN PARTICULAR THAT COLOUR REPRESENTATIONS OF PRODUCTS OR THE INKS CONTAINED IN THEM ARE INDICATIVE ONLY; THE ACTUAL SHADE AND TONE AND OTHER COLOUR FEATURES OF THE PRODUCT MAY APPEAR DIFFERENTLY ON SEPARATE MONITORS AND OTHER DISPLAY DEVICES DEPEINDING ON THE SPECIFICATION AND SETTINGS OF THAT EQUIPMENT AND MAY VARY FROM BATCH TO BATCH IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. SAMPLES ARE AVAILABLE, THOUGH ACTUAL COLOUR REPRESENTATION OF THE FINAL PRODUCT MAY STILL VARY FROM BATCH TO BATCH AND ANY SAMPLE PROVIDED MAY NOT BE FROM THE BATCH SUBSEQUENTLY SUPPLIED AS PART OF YOUR ORDER.
If there is any difference or ambiguity between our relevant price list and any prices stated in the Order, the prices stated in the Order will apply once we have accepted the Order. Please note that, unless previously withdrawn by us or otherwise stated in the quotation, any quotation given by us will only be valid for 30 days from the date it is given. We may amend our prices at any time, though this will not affect Orders already accepted by us, and we will notify you before accepting your Order if there has been a variation in our prices after the date your Order was submitted.
Please check these terms and the information set out in your Order carefully before submitting your Order to ensure that they are complete and accurate. If you think that there is a mistake or omission, please notify us immediately. If we have already accepted your Order, you will be bound by the terms stated in the Order unless we agree otherwise. You must therefore ensure that you have stated the correct items in your Order and in particular that you have ensured that the items Ordered are compatible with your equipment.

Our general terms of sale

1. Basis of the Sale In these terms reference to the ?Order? is a reference to your order for the goods, whether made verbally or in writing by telephone, fax, post, email, online or other means. ?Writing? includes email and online transmission and other comparable means of communication.
All Orders constitute an offer by you to enter into a binding contract, which we are free to accept or decline at our absolute discretion. No legal contract will exist between us in relation to the goods set out in your Order unless and until the Order is accepted by us and will then be subject to these terms.
Confirmation of our acceptance of your Order, and at which point a legally binding contract will come into existence between us, will occur by our issuing you with a written acceptance (which may be by electronic email) or by notifying you that the goods set out in the Order are ready for delivery to you. The payment by you and our acceptance of any deposit does not itself constitute an acceptance of your Order and the deposit will be refunded in full if we do not accept your Order.

2. Scope of the Order and Specifications

These terms, the Order, the relevant manufacturer?s specifications provided to you and our price list relating to the goods and services at the date of your Order are considered by us to set out the whole agreement between you and us for our sale of the goods to you.
Any samples, drawings, descriptions or advertising we issue, and any descriptions or illustrations contained in our catalogues or brochures, are issued or published solely to provide you with an approximate idea of the goods and services they describe. They do not form part of the contract between you and us or any other contract between you and us for the sale of the goods or supply of services. This does not limit our liability for any fraudulent misrepresentation.
PLEASE NOTE IN PARTICULAR THAT COLOUR REPRESENTATIONS OF PRODUCTS OR THE INKS CONTAINED IN THEM ARE INDICATIVE ONLY; THE ACTUAL SHADE AND TONE AND OTHER COLOUR FEATURES OF THE PRODUCT MAY APPEAR DIFFERENTLY ON SEPARATE MONITORS AND OTHER DISPLAY DEVICES DEPEINDING ON THE SPECIFICATION AND SETTINGS OF THAT EQUIPMENT AND MAY VARY FROM BATCH TO BATCH IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. SAMPLES ARE AVAILABLE, THOUGH ACTUAL COLOUR REPRESENTATION OF THE FINAL PRODUCT MAY STILL VARY FROM BATCH TO BATCH AND ANY SAMPLE PROVIDED MAY NOT BE FROM THE BATCH SUBSEQUENTLY SUPPLIED AS PART OF YOUR ORDER.
If there is any difference or ambiguity between our relevant price list and any prices stated in the Order, the prices stated in the Order will apply once we have accepted the Order. Please note that, unless previously withdrawn by us or otherwise stated in the quotation, any quotation given by us will only be valid for 30 days from the date it is given. We may amend our prices at any time, though this will not affect Orders already accepted by us, and we will notify you before accepting your Order if there has been a variation in our prices after the date your Order was submitted.
Please check these terms and the information set out in your Order carefully before submitting your Order to ensure that they are complete and accurate. If you think that there is a mistake or omission, please notify us immediately. If we have already accepted your Order, you will be bound by the terms stated in the Order unless we agree otherwise. You must therefore ensure that you have stated the correct items in your Order and in particular that you have ensured that the items Ordered are compatible with your equipment.

3. Amendments to the Order and Your Cancellation Rights

We may revise these terms from time to time but this will not affect any Orders placed before the date of the change unless it is a change required by law or government or regulatory authority (in which case, it will apply to Orders you have previously placed that we have not yet fulfilled).
If you do wish to amend or cancel an Order, other than through a mistake or breach of contract on our part, you must notify us of this request in writing. We may but are not obliged to agree to this request; no amendment or cancellation will be effective unless agreed by us in writing. If we do agree to this, you will still be liable to us for the payment of all costs we reasonably incur in fulfilling the Order up to the point when we receive your amendment or cancellation and for any restocking costs and loss of profits arising from the amendment or cancellation.
Please note that where you are dealing with us as a consumer nothing in these terms will apply to exclude or limit your rights under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (referred to as ?the Regulations?) or similar laws where those regulations apply.

4. The Goods

We warrant that on delivery the goods will: (a) be of satisfactory quality; (b) be fit for any purpose we say the goods are fit for; and (c) be free from material defects in design, materials and workmanship.
PLEASE NOTE THAT IN THE EVENT THAT A GENERIC OR BRAND COMPATIBLE ITEM ORDERED BY YOU IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF DESPATCH, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SUBSTITUTE AN ORDERED ITEM WITH ANOTHER SUITABLE GENERIC OR BRAND COMPATIBLE ITEM OF EQUAL OR HIGHER VALUE. IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THE SUBSTITUTION YOU MAY CANCEL THE ORDER AS SET OUT ABOVE AND WE WILL MEET THE COST OF RETURNING THE SUBSTITUTE GOODS. WE WILL NOT SUBSTITUTE ORIGINAL BRAND PRODUCTS WITHOUT YOUR PRIOR AGREEMENT.

5. Delivery

Unless we have agreed special delivery arrangements with you, Orders are usually despatched for standard delivery within 3 to 5 working days of confirmation of your Order. However, occasionally delivery may be affected by factors beyond our control and so cannot be guaranteed and time of delivery is not of the essence of the contract.
We may arrange delivery to you direct from the product manufacturer(s).
Delivery may be by a single delivery or by several instalments. Each instalment will be considered to be a separate contract and you may not repudiate or cancel the Order if we delay or fail to make delivery of any instalment. You will not be charged extra delivery costs if we deliver by instalments unless agreed with you at the date of acceptance of the Order.
Full risk and responsibility for damage caused to or by the use handling or storage of the goods will pass to you on delivery of the goods to you (including from the moment of collection from our premises if we have agreed this as the delivery address). Delivery will, unless otherwise agreed by us, be to the premises stated in the Order.
If you refuse or fail to take delivery of goods in accordance with the Order or provide us with incorrect or inadequate delivery details, full risk and responsibility for the goods as above will pass to you at the time of our attempted delivery. We will also be entitled to charge you (and to deduct and retain from any payment by you) an amount representing our reasonable assessment of our expenses (including restocking costs and insurance) and lost profits in fulfilling your Order. Our restocking costs are usually 30% of the value of the Order (excluding VAT) but may be lower than this where we assess our reasonable costs to be less.

6. Export Terms

Where we are supplying any goods for delivery outside of or export from the United Kingdom, it is your responsibility to ensure that all laws and regulations relating to the importation of the goods to the destination territory are complied with and all importation and other local duties and taxes are paid.
You agree that you will not offer for sale or distribute any goods supplied by us into any territory that we have, before acceptance of your Order, notified you that you may not do so or to any person whom you know or suspect intends to offer or distribute the goods to such territory.

7. Defective goods and returns

You are required to inspect all goods within a reasonable time from delivery, which in most cases we would expect to be within 3 days of your receipt of the goods. In any event, you must notify us in writing of any shortage damage defect or other non-conformity with the Order within 10 days of delivery or (in the case of late or non- delivery) 10 days of the due date for delivery. If you fail to do so, or if you fail to return to us or allow us to collect the relevant goods, you will be deemed to have accepted the goods as having been delivered in accordance with the Order.
We will arrange collection of any perceived faulty or defective goods on a date agreed between us or ask you to return the goods to us at our cost (subject to recharge to you in the event that the goods are identified as not being faulty or defective).
Before returning any goods to us, please contact us to obtain a return merchandise authorisation (RMA) number or so that we may advise you to contact the manufacturer direct if your claim is covered by its warranty. Please ensure that goods are returned to us within 10 days of our issuing you with an RMA number.
We may be unable to process goods received after this period or without a valid RMA number and the items may be returned to you.
In the event that any goods are confirmed as having been faulty or defective or missing at the time of delivery, we will at our discretion offer you with a full or partial refund depending on the goods affected or repair or replace the affected goods. Upon doing so, we shall have no further liability to you (whether for breach of contract, breach of warranty or otherwise) including for any delay, loss of goodwill, loss of profit or other costs expenses or losses arising as a result.
We will own any goods that are returned to us as faulty and will be entitled at our discretion to return these to the manufacturer, recondition them, or otherwise deal or dispose of them.
In the event that on analysis it is identified that the goods were not faulty or defective and did comply with these terms when delivered, then we are entitled to charge you for those goods in accordance with these terms and also to charge you for the costs of collecting them and our usual price for any replacement goods supplied that we were not obliged to provide.

8. Price and Payment Terms

The price of the goods and services will be as set out in the Order as accepted by us or, if no price is stated in the Order or the quoted price has expired, the price will be as set out in our price list in force at the time we confirm your Order.
Unless otherwise stated in the Order these prices exclude VAT for which you will be additionally liable at the rate applicable to the Order. You will additionally be liable for our costs of packing loading unloading carriage and insurance in respect of the Order.
It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the goods we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our dispatch procedures so that, where the goods' correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when dispatching the goods to you. If the goods' correct price is higher than the price stated then we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before dispatching the goods or reject the Order and tell you. If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing then we do not have to provide the goods to you at the incorrect (lower) price.
Unless otherwise agreed by us, payment for all goods must be made in full (without deduction set-off counterclaim or other withholding, unless pursuant to a Court order) in cleared funds or by credit or debit card in advance of delivery. Time is of the essence for payment.

We may at our discretion offer credit terms which, where agreed by us, are usually 30 days from the date of invoice or end of the calendar month. Credit terms are usually only available to existing customers with an order history from us. If you wish to apply for a credit facility, please contact us for details. You must ensure that you provide us with all information and documentation that we may reasonably require for considering any credit request and that all such information is true and accurate in all respects. We may withdraw any agreed credit at any time on not less than 14 days? notice to you or immediately without notice in the event that we believe that any of the information or documentation that you have provided to us as part of your credit application is incorrect misleading or fraudulent. Upon the withdrawal expiry or termination of any credit facility, the full balance of the account will be immediately due and payable.
If you do not make any payment due to us in cleared funds by the due date for payment, we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 2% a year above the base lending rate of HSBC Bank plc from time to time. Where you are dealing with us other than as a consumer, we reserve the right to charge interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 and related regulations. Interest will accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with the overdue amount.
Without limiting any other remedies or rights that we may have, if you do not pay us on time, we may cancel or suspend the Order and any other outstanding Order until you have paid the outstanding amounts.

9. Title to the goods

We will retain ownership of all goods delivered to you until they have been paid for in full in cleared funds.
Pending payment in full and transfer of legal title to you, where we are dealing with you other than as a consumer, you will hold the goods as our bailee, keep them adequately and safely stored and in satisfactory condition free of all charges, may only use or dispose of goods if they are stock in trade in the ordinary course of your business, will keep the goods clearly labelled as our goods, and not damage tamper with or deface any trade marks or other indications of ownership or origin. In the event of non-payment in full by the due date for payment or in the event of your bankruptcy or insolvency or if you have an administrator or receiver or liquidator appointed over any of your business or assets, your right to possession of the goods will cease and we and our agents will have the right at any time to enter any premises owned or controlled by you in order to recover our property.
Notwithstanding that title may not have passed, after delivery of any goods to you, you will be responsible for their safe keeping and you should make sure that you are adequately insured against any damage or loss that may occur to these goods.

10. Termination of the contract

Either party may terminate the contract if the other becomes insolvent or bankrupt or is unable to pay debts as they fall due. We may also terminate the contract if you fail to pay when due any sum required to be paid by you under these terms.
Termination will be without prejudice to any rights or obligations that have accrued to the date of termination and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to the parties.

11. Events outside our control

We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performance of, any of our obligations under these Terms that is caused by events outside our reasonable control (referred to as a ?Force Majeure Event?).

Our obligations under these terms will be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time to perform our obligations for the duration of that period. We will take reasonable steps to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under these terms can be performed despite the Force Majeure Event.

12. Limitation of liability

We are happy to discuss with you on request higher limitations of our liability with you subject to availability and affordability of suitable insurance against such liability.
None of the above provisions are intended to or will have the effect of excluding or limiting in any way our liability for:
(a) death or personal injury caused by our negligence; or
(b) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
(c) any breach of the obligations implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982; or
