Terms & Conditions of Sale

Prices – All estimates are based on the Company’s production costs at the date thereof and may be varied on or after the conclusion of any contract with the Customer to allow for any change in production costs, including (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) the cost of labour materials or transport.

Payment – All orders will be paid on pro forma unless by prior arrangement. VAT, where applicable, is payable on goods and services supplied by Hanson Textiles Ltd whether or not included in the estimate. Interest on overdue invoices is charged at the rate of 8% above the Bank of England base rate accruing on a daily basis until payment is made, whether before or after any judgement. The Company reserves the right to claim interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debt (Interest) Act 1998. Collection of any long overdue accounts will be passed over to an independent debt collection agency which will incur further charges / costs.

Delivery – Where a delivery date is quoted, this is intended only as a guide and although quoted in good faith, Hanson Textiles Ltd is not responsible for any delays occurring outside their control. No guarantees of delivery are undertaken at any time. Customers should organise their own express service to collect orders where recourse is required, if a deadline cannot be met. All despatches are ex-works and method of carriage is at Hanson Textiles Ltd’s discretion. Carriage costs are chargeable to the customer. Order quantities subject to +/- 10% variance.

Complaints – Any complaint regarding goods delivered must be made in writing to us within 3 days from the date of delivery, and Hanson Textiles Ltd accepts no responsibility for complaints submitted other than in this manner or in excess of this period.

Title – Until such time as the goods have been fully paid for, the goods will remain vested in Hanson Textiles Ltd, who may, without prejudice, to any other legal remedy, repossess any unpaid for goods. The goods will from time of delivery be at the buyer’s risk.

Artwork – Where camera-ready artwork is not supplied, then it is wholly the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the artwork is satisfactory before any goods are printed. Hanson Textiles Ltd will give as much professional help in advising the customer as to the suitability of the artwork, but accept no responsibility whatsoever in the appearance of the design once it has been printed onto fabric.

Screens – These are charged as a separate item and are liable for payment in full whether the customer proceeds with the order or not.

Washing Instructions – All items should be washed as per washing instructions shown on care labels. These must be complied with at all times.

Construction – Stitching and construction may vary from batch to batch, but will remain commercially acceptable.

Print Colour Variation – Whilst every effort will be made to maintain consistent standards, allowance must be made for some variation in shade from panel to panel during a production run, as no two items react in identical fashion when printed. Thus no allowance or concession will be made for prints, which are not deemed to match exactly the approved standard or other prints in the lot being processed. Matching will, however, be to commercially acceptable standards.

Size – Products can vary in size by +/-5%

Fabric weaves and colour – Cloths may vary in weave and shade due to the inherent nature of the cotton fibres, their country of origin and the weaving process employed.

Customers’ property and property supplied – All property supplied to Hanson Textiles Ltd by or on behalf of the customer will be held at customers’ risk. Every care will be taken to secure the best results where customers supply material, but responsibility will not be accepted for imperfect work caused by defects in, or unsuitability of such materials and equipment.

Insolvency / Non Payment – If the customer ceases to pay his debt in the ordinary course of business, or cannot pay his debts as they become due, or being a company, is deemed to be unable to pay its debts or has a winding up petition issued against him. Hanson Textiles Ltd without prejudice to other remedies shall 1) Have the right not to proceed further with the contract or any other work for the customer and be entitled to charge for work already carried out (whether completed or not) and materials purchased for the customer, such charge to be an immediate debt due to him. 2) In respect of all the unpaid debts due from the customer have a general lien on all goods and property in his possession (whether worked on or not) and shall be entitled on the expiration of 14 days notice to dispose of such goods or property in such manners and at such prices as he thinks fit and to apply the proceeds towards such debts.

The construction, validity and performance of this contract shall be governed by the law of England and Wales, and any legal proceedings in relation to such contract shall be submitted in the jurisdiction of the Courts of England and Wales without prejudice to the sellers’ right to bring any such proceedings before the Courts having jurisdiction in the Purchaser’s place of residence or business.
