RML GROUP TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE

1. Defined Terms

• 
  
• Where the word “including,” “include”, “in particular” or similar expression appears in these terms and conditions it is to be understood as illustrative and shall not limit the sense of the words preceding those terms.
• Words in the singular include the plural and in the plural include the singular.
• Where RML Group’s agreement, confirmation or approval is referred to or required in these terms and conditions it must be obtained in writing from an Authorised Person.
• By law consumers have additional statutory rights. These rights are unaffected by these terms and conditions.
• Headings are for convenience only and are not intended to affect interpretation.
• Order Procedures
  • Quotations are given in good faith but are not binding on RML Group. As circumstances can change, all quotations are subject to confirmation in writing by RML Group upon receipt of the Order.
  • Although RML Group will try to ensure the information provided when a Customer contacts RML Group about the Goods and Services, is accurate, RML Group may not be aware of all the circumstances that may affect your choice. Unless verbal information or advice is confirmed by RML Group in writing as part of the Acknowledgement of Order it should be treated as guidance only and should not be relied upon without further verification.
  • These terms and conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.
  • An Order for the Goods and/or Services shall constitute an offer by the Customer to buy Goods and/or Services in accordance with and subject to these terms and conditions. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order and any applicable Specification are complete and accurate. RML Group will only have accepted that offer only when RML issues an Acknowledgement of Order. Such acceptance shall take effect only on these RML Group terms and conditions of sale, at which point the Contract between the parties shall come into existence.
  • The Customer waives any right it might otherwise have to rely on any term endorsed upon, delivered with or contained in any documents of the Customer that is inconsistent with these terms and conditions.
• Description of Goods and Services
  • The Goods and/or Services are described in the Specification. Where the Specification contains general provisions rather than a detailed description, RML Group shall be entitled to fulfil the Specification in any reasonable manner. Should the Customer require RML Group to comply with any specific requirement it has at a later date in order to fulfil the Specification, RML Group shall be entitled to charge the additional costs it incurs to the Customer in accordance with condition 6.
  • Much of RML Group’s Goods and Services are customised or involve the modification of standard parts. Any samples, drawings, descriptions, example specifications and performance indicators contained in catalogues, price lists and other leaflets or descriptive matter or pre contractual information produced by RML Group are for illustration and guidance only. Unless expressly stated in the Specification they do not form part of the Contract nor have any contractual force.
  • In respect of Goods manufactured by a third party and sold by RML Group unmodified:

1. RML Group includes product specifications, measurements and technical data supplied by the manufacturer of such Goods. Such information is to be treated as guidance only and the Customer should note that tolerances will be allowed by the manufacturer.
2. Sizes, colour, specification and fitting may vary dependent upon the make and model of the Customer’s vehicle.
3. Manufacturers reserve the right to change the specification of their products without notice. The Customer is advised to check the current specification and product details directly with the manufacturer, before ordering.

• Unless RML Group sells the Goods specifically for use on public roads the Goods may not be operated or licensed for use on public roads or in public places.
• Goods to be used in motorsport will be built to the sporting or championship regulations as at the date specified in the Contract. If no date is specified then the Goods will be built to the regulations that prevailed when RML Group provided its quotation or (if none was provided) at the date of the Order. If these regulations change then work required to make the Goods and/or Services compliant will incur additional cost which will be payable by the Customer in accordance with condition 6.6 or (where applicable) condition 6.7 unless otherwise expressly agreed in the Contract.
• RML reserves the right without notice to the Customer to make any changes in the Specification of the Goods and/or Services which are required to conform with any applicable statutory regulations or EU requirement or which improve or do not materially affect their quality or performance.

• Delivery and Risk
  • Delivery of the Goods shall take place when the Customer or its carrier collects the Goods from RML Group’s premises, such collection to take place within five working days after RML Group has notified the Customer that the Goods are ready for collection, or, if some other place for delivery is agreed by RML Group, by RML Group delivering the Goods to that place.
  • Goods will be at the Customer’s risk from the date of delivery, or where the Customer fails to collect, from the date when delivery should have taken place, and the Customer should insure the Goods accordingly. If RML Group agrees to store the Goods then the Goods will nevertheless remain at the Customer’s risk and should be insured by the Customer.
  • Unless it is agreed by RML Group in the Contract that the date for dispatch or delivery of Goods or Services is a fundamental requirement of the Contract, any date or period quoted by RML Group for dispatch of the Goods and/or the performance of the Services is given in good faith as an estimate only. Whilst RML Group will endeavour to deliver within the period stated, failure to do so date will not entitle the Customer to cancel the Contract. If no dates are specified delivery will be within a reasonable period.
  • The Customer will provide at its expense at the place of delivery adequate equipment and manual labour for loading (and unloading) the Goods.
  • Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery is a separate Contract under these terms and conditions. Failure by RML Group to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with this Contract or any claim by the Customer in respect of one or more instalments does not entitle the Customer to cancel the Contract as a whole.
  • Where the Goods and/or the Services are supplied for export and/or operation outside the United Kingdom, the Customer is responsible (at its own expense) for complying with any legislation or regulations governing the transportation and the importation of the Goods into and operation of the Goods within the country of destination (including without limitation the obtaining of relevant licences, registration permits and permissions) and for the payment of any applicable duties and taxes.
  • The Customer is under a duty to inspect the Goods on delivery, installation, or collection as the case may be and also at the completion of any Service performed by RML Group. Because of the specialised nature of the Goods and Services, inspections should always be undertaken by properly qualified engineers and mechanics.
  • If RML Group requires the Customer to return any packaging materials to RML Group, it will notify the Customer accordingly on or before delivery. The Customer shall make any such packaging materials available for collection at such times as RML Group shall reasonably request.
• Failed Delivery
  • If the Customer or its carrier fails to take delivery of the Goods or fails to give RML Group adequate delivery instructions and/or to provide any documents, authorisations or other items required to enable delivery on the date stated for delivery then, notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary, the full price of the Goods and Services shall become immediately due and payable. In addition without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to RML Group, RML Group may exercise any one or more of the following rights:

1. at the Customer’s risk store the Goods until actual delivery and the Customer shall pay for the reasonable costs of storage and insurance; and/or
2. sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and the Customer shall pay for any shortfall below the price due from the Customer under the Contract as well as any costs charged under condition 5.1.a .

• Price and Payment
  • The price will be the price for the Goods and/or Services as shown on the Order accepted by the Acknowledgement of Order or if no price is given then the price for the Goods and/or Services in the price list in force at the date of delivery or deemed delivery. Time for payment is of the essence.
  • RML Group may by giving notice to the Customer at any time before delivery increase the price of the Goods and/or Services to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods and/or Services as a result of changes requested by the Customer and agreed by RML Group to the delivery date(s), quantities, quality or types of Goods and/or Services ordered, or to the Specification.
  • Unless otherwise stated, all prices quoted are on an ex-works basis exclusive of Value Added Tax and all other duties, carriage, packing, licence fee or insurance charges, which the Customer shall pay where they apply. Prices do not include the cost of re-usable packaging retained by the Customer, such as travel crates, unless otherwise specified in the Contract and such packaging will be invoiced at an additional charge.
  • RML Group reserves the right at any time prior to delivery of the Goods and/or performance of the Services to adjust the price to take account of any increase in the cost of raw materials, third party labour or services, or any currency fluctuations, increases of taxes or duties, or increase in the cost of RML Group in complying with the Contract as a result of changes in legislation. RML Group shall notify Customers of any proposed increase in price. Where the increase is more than 5% of the price RML Group shall offer Customers the opportunity not to proceed with the Contract provided RML Group is paid for the work carried out and costs it has reasonably incurred up to that point.
  • Where RML Group has agreed to provide Services to the Customer including the provision of personnel the Customer must pay all accommodation subsistence and travel costs incurred by RML Group in respect of the performance of the Services unless otherwise specified in the Contract. The Customer must also provide and pay for suitable transport for RML Group personnel during the Contract to enable the Services to be efficiently performed. Where such Services are to be performed partly or wholly outside the UK the Customer shall in addition pay for: –

1. promptly obtaining all relevant licences permits and visas
2. reasonable travel costs to and from the UK in respect of home visits allowed by RML Group to its personnel
3. the cost of any additional medical insurance for RML Group personnel (if required by RML Group)

• Payment must be made without set off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (except for any deduction or withholding required by law) within 28 days of RML Group’s invoice or (if earlier) before the delivery of the Goods or Services. In the case of Goods or Services to be delivered off RML Group premises payment shall be made before such Goods or Services are despatched. The price must be paid in pounds sterling or such other currency as is specified in the Contract by RML Group.
• Certain costs that are the responsibility of the Customer may not be ascertainable until after the Goods and /or Services are delivered (for example accommodation, subsistence and travel costs of RML Group personnel). The Customer shall pay such costs within 28 days of RML Group’s invoice, notwithstanding that Goods and/or Services may have been delivered and other payments made. RML Group reserves the right to require the Customer to pay a reasonable deposit on account of such costs and/or to require full payment of these costs prior to the delivery of further Goods and/or Services to the Customer.
• If the Customer fails to make any payment on or before the time specified for payment then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to RML Group may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies and shall not incur any liability to the Customer as a result of the exercise of such remedies:-

1. Cancel the Contract and/or suspend any further deliveries to the Customer;
2. Appropriate any payment made by the Customer to such of the Goods or Services (or Goods or Services supplied under any other contract between RML Group and the Customer) as RML Group may think fit (notwithstanding any purported appropriation by the Customer);
3. Charge the Customer interest (both before and after any judgement) on the amount unpaid, at the rate of 4 per cent per annum above Barclays Plc. base rate from time to time, until payment in full is made (interest to be payable on demand and to accrue daily on the basis of a year of 365 days) together with all costs and expenses incurred by RML Group in the collection of overdue monies.
4. Exercise a general lien on all property of the Customer in its possession, custody or control for all sums due to RML Group. RML Group shall give 28 days notice to the Customer of its intention to sell or dispose of such property. If the Customer fails to pay all sums due to RML Group within the 28 day notice period then RML Group shall be entitled to sell all or any part of the Customer’s property in RML Group’s possession, custody or control as agent for and at the expense of the Customer and RML Group shall apply the proceeds of sale (net of any costs incurred in association with the sale) in or towards the payment of the sums owed to RML Group by the Customer. Upon accounting to the Customer for the balance remaining (if any) after payment of any sum due to RML Group and the costs of sale and disposal, RML Group shall be discharged of any liability whatsoever in respect of the Customer’s property.

For the avoidance of doubt RML Group shall be entitled to recover the price notwithstanding that delivery may not have taken place and ownership of the Goods has not passed to the Customer. In the event of the Company exercising its remedy under condition 6.8.a the Customer shall in addition be liable for costs incurred in respect of Goods that are in the course of manufacture and/or ready for despatch.

It is fundamental that the Goods are properly tested by the Customer and regularly inspected and maintained. The Customer is aware that he must satisfy himself regarding such matters.

• If payment by the Customer is not made in the currency required under these terms and conditions then RML Group will convert the payment into the correct currency at the rate of exchange prevailing at the Bank used by RML Group. If the rates and cost of exchanging the currency together with any premiums, commissions, bank charges or other consequential costs incurred by RML Group when deducted from the payment made by the Customer result in RML Group receiving less than the full payment then the Customer will pay the shortfall to RML Group upon demand.
• The Customer shall pay to RML Group on demand all receiving bank charges incurred by RML Group arising from any act or omission of the Customer.
• Each Contract with the Customer is subject to RML Group being satisfied with the Customer’s credit status both prior to and during the Contract. If RML Group becomes dissatisfied with the Customer’s credit status it may require security for payment before continuing with or delivery of any Order.

• Ownership of RML Group Goods
  • Ownership of the Goods will not pass to the Customer until RML Group has received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of the Goods and Services by the Customer, notwithstanding such Goods and/or Services may have been delivered to the Customer.
  • Until such time as ownership of the Goods passes to the Customer, the Customer holds the Goods on RML Group’s behalf. The Customer must keep the Goods separate from those of the Customer and third parties and properly stored, protected and insured and identified as RML Group’s property. Until the Customer owns the Goods the Customer must not resell them or use them as security for any debt.
  • Until the Customer owns the Goods, RML Group shall be entitled at any time to require the Customer to return the Goods to RML Group and, if the Customer fails to do so, the Customer gives RML Group permission to enter any premises of the Customer or of any third party where the Goods are stored on the Customer’s behalf and recover the Goods
• Safety and General Testing
  • The Customer acknowledges that the vehicles and components provided by RML Group are specialist items containing many non standard and prototype parts and technology and that driving such vehicles whether on track, or within a motor sport or high performance activity can be hazardous and accordingly all vehicles in which the Goods are comprised should only be driven by qualified and appropriately experienced drivers and all parts comprised in the Goods should only be repaired or maintained by fully qualified and experienced mechanics, with appropriate training.
  • The Customer shall ensure the safe use, storage, servicing, maintenance and repair of the Goods in accordance with RML Group instructions, recommendations and specified operating parameters to not less than the minimum standards suggested by RML Group. In particular, the Customer undertakes to ensure that a properly qualified, trained and experienced mechanic examines the vehicle and any Goods fitted to the vehicle and carries out appropriate inspections, testing, repair and preparation in accordance with RML Group recommendations and best current practice, prior to the vehicle participating in motor sport or any form of on-track and/or high performance activity.
  • The Customer shall use the Goods for the purpose for which they are produced, manufactured and sold by RML Group and the Customer agrees not to use or permit the use of the Goods by any third party save in compliance with these terms and conditions and for the requirements notified and accepted in writing by RML Group and otherwise in accordance with the operational instructions issued by RML Group from time to time.

• Goods supplied for Use on Public Roads
  • Where RML Group supplies a vehicle for use on public roads RML Group will state the regulations (as at a specified date) to which the vehicle will be built as part of the Contract. If no date is specified then the Goods will be built to the regulations that prevailed when RML Group provided its quotation or (if none was provided) at the date of the Order. The Customer must satisfy itself that such regulations cover its intended use of the vehicle.
  • Regulations for use on public roads may change and it is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that the vehicle complies with any such revised regulations for use on the public roads. Any work required to make the Goods compliant will incur additional cost which will be payable by the Customer in accordance with condition 6.6 or (where applicable) condition 6.7 unless otherwise expressly agreed in the Contract.
  • Where RML Group supplies parts for use on public roads RML Group will state to what road regulations the part is built and may give guidance as to which countries the parts may be fitted on road cars. Regulations for road use change regularly and may be affected by the particular vehicle that a part is fitted to, accordingly any such guidance must be verified by the Customer and the Customer must satisfy itself whether the Goods may legally be fitted to its vehicle and be used on the public roads where the Customer intends to operate its vehicle. In most cases a Customer can check road use requirements by contacting the local National Vehicle Type Approval and Certification Authority.

• RML Group shall be entitled to change or substitute the personnel it appoints to carry out the Services at its discretion.

• Warranties and Guarantees
  • The Customer acknowledges that:

1. The specialist nature of the Goods will mean Goods supplied by RML Group that are non-standard, bespoke or modified are likely to have undergone limited testing and the specific use that the Customer makes of Goods supplied by RML Group and the conditions of use will greatly effect their performance, reliability and durability.

  • The Customer will be taken to have accepted the Goods, if the Goods have been altered, processed, and/or incorporated with other goods or sold by the Customer, or if the Customer does not report the defect in accordance with condition 12.1, or otherwise fails to return the Goods to RML Group within a reasonable time of RML Group’s request.
  • Where RML Group is satisfied that a properly notified defect is RML Group’s responsibility and is caused by any fault of RML Group in design, manufacture or workmanship RML Group will make good the defect by either (at RML Group’s discretion) repair or replacement. These terms and conditions shall apply to any repair or replacement.

• The Customer will hold harmless and indemnify and keep indemnified RML Group and (as a separate obligation) RML Group personnel engaged in providing Services to the Customer, from and against all actions, claims, liabilities, costs and demands arising out of the negligence of any of the Customer’s employees, agents and/or contractors personnel, team members or drivers working with RML Group personnel.

  • Should RML Group be prevented from delivering Goods or providing Services in the above circumstances it shall give the Customer written notice of this fact as soon as reasonably practicable after discovering it.
  • If the circumstances preventing delivery Goods or providing Services are still continuing six months (or such shorter period that RML Group agrees is reasonable) after the Customer receives RML Group’s notice then either party may give written notice to the other cancelling the Contract.
  • If the Contract is cancelled in this way, RML Group will refund any payment which the Customer has already made on account of the price (subject to deduction of any amount RML Group is entitled to claim from the Customer under the Contract and deducting payment for any Goods which have been delivered and for any Services provided on a pro rata basis and deducting the cost of any raw materials ordered and paid for by RML Group which RML Group agrees to make available to the Customer) but RML Group will not be liable to compensate the Customer for any further loss or damage caused by the failure to deliver.
