Upon receipt, the Company will provide a goods-in report detailing quantities received. Any discrepancies must be reported by the Customer within 48 hours of the goods-in report being issued.
Storage charges are calculated on a per-pallet, per-week basis as agreed in writing between the Company and the Customer. Charges commence from the date Goods are received into storage and continue until the date Goods are despatched or collected.
Part weeks are charged as full weeks. Handling charges (pallet movements in and out of racking) are charged per movement as agreed.
The Company reserves the right to review and adjust storage rates with 30 days' written notice.
Invoices are issued weekly or monthly as agreed. Payment is due within 30 days of invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing. Late payments may incur interest at 8% above the Bank of England base rate in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
The Company reserves a general lien on all Goods in its possession for any sums due from the Customer. If payment remains outstanding for more than 60 days, the Company may sell or dispose of sufficient Goods to recover the outstanding amount.
The Company shall exercise reasonable care in the storage and handling of Goods. The Company maintains goods-in-care insurance and public liability insurance.
The Company's liability for loss of or damage to Goods shall be limited to the lower of: (a) the cost of repair or replacement of the Goods, or (b) £100 per pallet position, unless a higher value has been declared in writing and additional insurance arranged.
The Company shall not be liable for any indirect, consequential or special losses, loss of profit, loss of business, or loss of goodwill arising from the storage, handling or distribution of Goods.
Customers are strongly advised to maintain their own insurance cover for Goods in storage.
Claims for loss, damage or shortage must be notified in writing within 7 days of discovery or delivery (whichever is earlier). Claims not notified within this period may not be accepted.
The Company shall be given reasonable opportunity to inspect damaged Goods before any claim is processed.
Goods may be collected by the Customer or their nominated carrier during normal operating hours (Monday to Friday, 07:00 to 18:00) with a minimum of 24 hours' notice.
Where the Company arranges distribution, delivery times are estimates only and the Company shall not be liable for delays caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.
Where no minimum contract period has been agreed, either party may terminate the agreement by giving 30 days' written notice. Upon termination, the Customer must collect all Goods within 14 days. Goods not collected may incur continued storage charges.
The Company shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: fire, flood, storm, earthquake, pandemic, government action, war, terrorism, strike, or failure of third-party services.
