PEI-GENESIS (UK) LIMITED TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The following are the terms and conditions of PEI-Genesis (UK) Limited ("PEI-Genesis") for the sale of goods

1 Introduction

1.1 In these Terms:

"Contract" means any contract between PEI-Genesis and the Customer for the purchase and sale of the Goods;

"Customer" means the person whose order is accepted by PEI-Genesis in writing;

"Goods" means all goods which are supplied to the Customer by PEI-Genesis under any contract between them;

"Intellectual Property Rights" means all copyright, database rights, topography rights, design rights, trademarks, trade names, utility models, patents, domain names and any other intellectual property rights of a similar nature (whether or not registered) subsisting anywhere in the world in or associated with the Goods; and

"Terms" means the standard terms and conditions set out in this document and including any special terms and conditions agreed in writing between the Customer and PEI-Genesis.

1.2 Any reference in these Terms to any provision of a statute or statutory instrument shall be construed as a reference to that provision as amended, re-enacted or extended at the relevant time.

1.3 The headings in these Terms are for convenience only and shall not affect their interpretation.

1.4 A reference to writing or written includes fax but not e-mail.

1.5 Any words following the terms including, include, in particular, for example or any similar expression shall be construed as illustrative and shall not limit the sense of the words, description, definition, phrase or term preceding those terms.

2 Basis of Sale

2.1 The Customer's written order constitutes an offer by the Customer to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Terms. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the terms of its order and any applicable specification are complete and accurate.

2.2 The Customer's written order shall only be deemed to be accepted when the PEIGenesis issues a written acceptance of the order, at which point the Contract shall come into existence.

2.3 The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. These Terms shall govern the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms and conditions accompanying the order or proposed at any stage by the Customer in correspondence or elsewhere or implied by trade, custom practice or course of dealing.

2.4 PEI-Genesis' employees or agents are not authorised to make any representations concerning the Goods unless confirmed by PEI-Genesis in writing. In entering into a contract the Customer acknowledges that it does not rely on, and waives any claim for breach arising from, any such representations which are not so confirmed. PEIGenesis takes all reasonable care to ensure that the information and prices relating to the Goods are correct at the time the relevant information is provided to the Customer. In the event that, despite PEI-Genesis' reasonable efforts, we find that information relating to the Goods is incorrect PEI-Genesis will inform the Customer to inform it of this error and PEI-Genesis will give the Customer the option of continuing to purchase the Goods, subject to the correct information, or cancelling the order. For the avoidance of doubt, if any pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised as a mispricing, PEI-Genesis does not have to provide the Goods to the Customer at the incorrect (lower) price.

2.5 Whilst every effort is made to ensure that the description and illustrations contained in the catalogues, price lists and other advertisements of PEI-Genesis are accurate and current, they shall not form part of the Contract and PEI Genesis shall not be liable in respect thereof.

2.6 No variation to the Contract shall be binding unless agreed in writing by the authorised representatives of the Customer and PEI-Genesis.

3 Formation of Contract and Specifications

3.1 Any quotation issued by PEI-Genesis is valid for 30 days only and does not represent an obligation until PEI-Genesis accepts the Customer's order. PEI-Genesis reserves the right to withdraw or revise a quotation at any time prior to acceptance of the Customer's order.

3.2 If the Goods are to be supplied or assembled in accordance with a specification submitted by the Customer:-

3.2.1 The Customer shall be responsible for ensuring that the specification is complete and accurate and that the Goods referred to in it are suitable for and fulfil the Customer's requirements;

3.2.2 The Customer shall be responsible for giving all necessary information within a sufficient time to enable PEI-Genesis to perform the Contract;

3.2.3 The Customer shall indemnify PEI-Genesis against all loss, damages, costs and expenses incurred by PEI-Genesis in connection with a claim for infringement of a patent, copyright design, trade mark or other intellectual property rights of any other person which results from PEI-Genesis' use of the Customer's specification; and

3.2.4 PEI-Genesis shall not be liable to the Customer if the Goods have been assembled in accordance with the Customer's specification.

3.3 The quantity and description of the Goods shall be as set out or referred to in PEIGenesis' written acceptance of the Customer's order.

3.4 PEI-Genesis reserves the right to make any changes in the specification of the Goods which are required to conform with any applicable safety or other statutory requirements or, where Goods are to be supplied to PEI-Genesis' specification, which do not materially affect the quality or performance of the Goods or their interchangeability with components supplied by the Customer.

3.5 No order which has been accepted by PEI-Genesis may be cancelled by the Customer except with the agreement in writing of PEI-Genesis and on terms that the Customer shall indemnify PEI-Genesis in full against all losses (including but not limited to loss of profit), costs (including but not limited to the cost of all labour and materials used), damages, charges and expenses incurred by PEI-Genesis as a result of cancellation.

3.6 The Customer, by written request ("Change Request") delivered to PEI-Genesis, shall have the right to request changes to any order accepted by PEI-Genesis. No Change Request by the Customer shall be effective, nor binding upon PEI-Genesis, unless specifically agreed to in writing by PEI-Genesis. If a Change Request agreed to in writing by PEI-Genesis results in a delay in PEI-Genesis's delivery of the Goods or an increase or decrease in the cost of the Goods to the Customer, PEI-Genesis shall inform the Customer of any reasonable adjustments in the delivery schedule or the price of such Goods, or both. PEI-Genesis shall notify the Customer of any impact to the delivery schedule or price prior to acceptance of the Change Request.

4 Price

4.1 The price of the Goods shall be PEI-Genesis's quoted price.

4.2 PEI-Genesis reserves the right for an order to be subject to a minimum order value and in such cases PEI-Genesis shall be entitled to increase the price or quantity to meet that minimum requirement. Any increases to meet the minimum requirement shall be set out in PEI-Genesis' written quotation.

4.3 PEI-Genesis reserves the right, by giving notice to the Customer at any time before delivery, to increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost to PEIGenesis which is due to price increases by PEI-Genesis' suppliers, alterations in taxation, changes in legislation or exchange rates, any change of delivery dates, quantities or specifications of the Goods, or special packaging which are requested by the Customer, or any delay caused by any instructions of the Customer, or failure of the Customer to give PEI-Genesis adequate information or instructions.

4.4 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all prices are exclusive of the cost of transport and insurance of the Goods, which shall be invoiced to the Customer.

4.5 For deliveries to an agreed location in the United Kingdom, transport and insurance will be made at PEI-Genesis' standard rates applicable at the time of despatch, as amended from time to time. PEI-Genesis reserves the right to charge higher rates where delivery takes place overseas or where the Customer requires an overnight or guaranteed early morning delivery in the United Kingdom.

4.6 The Customer shall pay to PEI-Genesis the total amount of each invoice raised by PEI-Genesis in the currency set out on the invoice to the account specified by PEIGenesis from time to time notwithstanding that delivery may not have taken place and that title in the Goods may not have passed to the Customer.

4.7 All amounts of money referred to in any Contract shall be interpreted as being amounts exclusive of value added tax, any similar sales tax or any tax that replaces such sales taxes. Any such tax payable in relation to any such amounts shall be paid in addition to those amounts. If the Customer is required under any applicable law to withhold or deduct any amount from the payments due to PEI-Genesis, the Customer shall increase the sum it pays to PEI-Genesis by the amount necessary to leave PEIGenesis with an amount equal to the sum it would have received if no such withholdings or deductions had been made.

4.8 If at any time during the term of any Contract pounds sterling cease to be legal tender in England, the parties shall agree an alternative currency in writing and all payments shall be made in that nominated currency from the date on which the Customer receives notice of such change in currency from PEI-Genesis.

4.9 All amounts due to PEI-Genesis under any Contract shall become due immediately if the Contract is terminated or novated despite any other provision.

5 Payment

5.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, and subject always to Clause 5.3 below, PEIGenesis shall be entitled to invoice the Customer for the price of the Goods, including any transport handling and insurance charges (where applicable), on or at any time after delivery of the Goods, unless:

5.1.1 The Goods are to be collected by the Customer and the Customer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Goods, or

5.1.2 The Customer fails to take delivery of the Goods as may have been previously agreed in which event PEI-Genesis shall be entitled to invoice the Customer for the price of the Goods at any time after PEI-Genesis has notified the Customer that the Goods are ready for collection or PEI-Genesis has tendered delivery of the Goods

5.2 Unless otherwise agreed by PEI Genesis in writing at the time of order of the Goods, the Customer shall pay the price of the Goods as invoiced in full within 30 days of the end of the month in which the Goods were delivered. The Customer shall not be entitled to make any deduction from such payment or exercise any right of set-off or contribution whatsoever arising. The time of payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract.

5.3 If in the opinion of PEI-Genesis, the credit-worthiness of the Customer shall have deteriorated prior to delivery or collection, PEI-Genesis may require full or partial payment of the price prior to delivery or collection of the Goods or the provision of security for payment by the Customer in a form acceptable to PEI-Genesis.

5.4 If the Customer fails to make any payment due to PEI-Genesis under the Contract by the due date for payment ("due date"), then the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum above National Westminster Bank's base rate from time to time. Such 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 judgment. The Customer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.

5.5 f the Customer fails to make any payment by the due date then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to PEI-Genesis, PEI-Genesis shall (at its option) be entitled to:

5.5.1 Treat the Contract as repudiated by the Customer and suspend any further deliveries; or

5.5.2 Affirm the contract and supply the Goods in accordance with the Contract and the Customer shall be liable for any costs or expenses that PEI- Genesis incurs as a result of such delay.

6 Delivery and Risk

6.1 All shipments by PEI Genesis are Free Carrier At Southampton (Incoterms 2020) and all transportation charges shall be paid by the Customer in addition to the price of the Goods. Subject to PEI Genesis’ right of stoppage in transit, delivery of the Goods to the carrier shall constitute delivery to the Customer and risk of loss shall thereupon pass to the Customer. Neither confiscation nor destruction of, nor damage to any Goods will release, reduce or in any way affect the Customers liability to PEI Genesis under these Terms and Conditions. Selection of the carrier and delivery route shall be made by PEI Genesis unless specified by the Customer in writing in advance

6.2 Delivery of the Goods shall be completed by PEI-Genesis making the Goods available at PEI-Genesis's premises. The Customer shall provide at its expense adequate and appropriate equipment and manual labour for unloading/loading the Goods as appropriate.

6.3 Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods are approximate only and PEI-Genesis shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods howsoever caused. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence.

6.4 The Customer shall notify any claim for short delivery to PEI-Genesis within 10 working days of the date of delivery by PEI-Genesis. If PEI-Genesis is satisfied that the Goods have been short delivered, PEI-Genesis shall at its option:-

6.4.1 Make up any short delivery by despatching to the Customer such Goods as PEI-Genesis is satisfied were not delivered; or

6.4.2 Allow the Customer credit in respect thereof.

PEI-Genesis's liability for such short delivery shall be limited to making up the delivery or allowing credit as set out above

6.5 Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and defective delivery by PEI-Genesis of any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Terms shall not entitle the Customer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.

6.6 f the Customer fails to take delivery of the Goods or fails to give PEI-Genesis adequate delivery instructions at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond the Customer's reasonable control or by reason of PEI-Genesis's fault) then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to PEI-Genesis, PEI-Genesis may:-

6.6.1 Store the Goods until actual delivery and charge the Customer for the reasonable costs (including handling and insurance) of storage; or

6.6.2 Sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to the Customer for the excess over the price under the Contract or charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price under the Contract (as applicable).

6.7 Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer at the time when the Goods have been made available for delivery to or collection by the Customer.

7 Title

7.1 Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until PEI-Genesis has received payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for:

7.1.1 The Goods; and

7.2 Until title to the Goods have passed to the Customer, the Customer shall:

7.2.6 Give PEI-Genesis such information relating to the Goods as PEI-Genesis may require from time to time, however,

The Customer may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business

7.3 If before title to the Goods passes to the Customer the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in Clause 14, or PEI-Genesis reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen and notifies the Customer accordingly, then, provided that the Goods have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product, and without limiting any other right or remedy PEI-Genesis may have, PEI-Genesis may at any time require the Customer to deliver up the Goods and, if the Customer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Customer or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.

7.4 The Customer shall not attach the Goods to any real property without the prior written consent of PEI-Genesis.

8 Customer Responsibilities

8.1 Items supplied by the Customer for the Contract shall be of suitable quality and shall be provided free of charge in sufficient quantities and at all times required by PEIGenesis.
