2.3 The Contract (including these Conditions) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties. The Buyer acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of the Company which is not set out in these Conditions. Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter, or advertising issued by the Company and any descriptions or illustrations contained in the Company’s catalogues, brochures or the Website are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods described therein. They will not form part of the Contract or any other contract between the Parties for the sale of the Goods, to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions (including any terms implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing) and to any previous oral or written communication between the Company and the Buyer.
3. Orders and the Formation of a Contract
3.1 The Buyer may place an order for Goods (“Order”) by the methods permitted by the Company in its sole discretion.
3.2 An Order constitutes an offer from the Buyer to the Company to purchase the Goods specified in such Order. All Orders shall be deemed to be accepted when the Company issues a written acceptance of the Order ("Order Conformation") to the Buyer, at which point the contract shall come into existence (“Contract”). For the avoidance of doubt, these Conditions will be automatically incorporated into all Contracts.
3.3 The Company is under no obligation to accept any Order from the Buyer. Where reasonably practicable, the Company will communicate any decision not to accept an Order by 5.00pm on the day the Order is received provided the Order is received before 4.45pm that same day. Such decisions in relation to Orders received after 5.00pm will be communicated by 5.00pm on the next Business Day.
3.4 A Buyer may cancel an Order at any time before the Order Confirmation is issued by the Company. A Buyer may not cancel an Order at any time after the Order Confirmation is issued without the Company’s prior written agreement.
3.5 The Contract will relate only to Goods dispatched to the Buyer.
3.6 An Order will be conclusive evidence of a Buyer’s acceptance of these Conditions.
3.7 The Company will only accept Orders from Buyers acting in the course of a business and not from persons acting in an individual capacity or dealing as consumers. The Company is not obliged to accept Orders from packaging businesses nor any other similar business in direct or indirect competition with the Company.

Written approval is required to re-sell the Goods to an end user of the Goods.

4.1 The Company reserves the right to add to, alter, amend or withdraw at any time without notice any of these Conditions. The current conditions can be found on the website. No variations of the contract, whether about description of the goods, price or otherwise, can be made after it has been entered into unless the variation is agreed by the Buyer and the supplier in writing.
5. Accuracy of Information
5.1 Whilst the Company has attempted to ensure that the information within its catalogues, the Website and other publications is correct at the time of publication, they do not form part of any Contract. For technical reasons, colour illustrations should be viewed as a guide only.
5.2 Any typographical, clerical or other error or omission in any sales literature, quotation, price list, invoice or other document or information issued by the Company will be subject to correction without any liability on the part of the Company.
6. Telephone Calls

7.1 The Company may make any changes to the specification of the Goods so long as such changes do not materially affect their performance or quality or if needed to conform with any applicable health, safety or other statutory requirements.

Any Goods which are so returned must be accompanied by any promotional items provided with them, whether or not those promotional items themselves are defective. The Company reserves the right to charge the Buyer for such promotional items not duly returned.
7.5 The Company may, in its sole discretion, refund or credit the Buyer with the price for Stock Products (except Non-returnable Goods) which are returned within 14 days of delivery provided that the Stock Products are unopened and returned in their original packaging and condition. Non-stock Products cannot be returned. This does not affect the Buyer’s statutory rights. For Health & Safety reasons, no food related packaging products may be accepted for return unless they are shown to be defective. The Buyer is responsible for the safe return at their own cost.
8. Price and Payment
8.1 Prices quoted in the Company’s sales literature and website are so far as practicable the Company’s correct selling price. However, due to the ever-changing nature of the paper, pulp and packaging market, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Company reserves the right at any time to change the price of Goods without notice to the Buyer. The price of the Goods will be as stipulated in the Company’s price list current at the date of dispatch of the Goods. However, where practicable, the Company will notify the Buyer of price changes prior to implementation.
8.2 Prices quoted are exclusive of VAT which will be charged at the rate prevailing on the date of dispatch of the Goods or the date of the Company’s invoice for the Goods if earlier.
8.3 The Buyer will pay the price of the Goods Ordered in full and in cleared funds within 14 days of the date of the Company’s invoice notwithstanding that title in the Goods has not passed to the Buyer. The time of payment will be of the essence of the Contract.

8.5 The Buyer will pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any deduction or withholding except as required by law and the Buyer will not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against the Company in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part.

8.6 The Company reserves the right to grant, refuse, withdraw, restrict, alter, suspend or cancel credit terms at its sole discretion. The Company reserves the right to refuse, suspend or cancel Orders for Goods where the Buyer is or is liable to become in breach of its credit terms.

9.5 The Buyer must notify the Company within 5 Business Days of delivery of any discrepancies in the Goods received, otherwise, all the Goods Ordered as stated on the delivery note will be deemed to have been delivered and accepted.

9.7 If the Buyer fails to accept delivery of the Goods within 3 attempts by the Company to deliver the Goods, then, except where such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract:
9.7.1 Delivery of the Goods will be deemed to have been completed at the time at which the Company makes the third attempt to deliver the Goods and the Buyer shall pay for the Goods in accordance with clause 9.3. After the third attempt is made, it shall be up to the Buyer to contact the Company to arrange for the Goods to be delivered to the Buyer or collected from the Company (at the Company’s option) at such time as may be acceptable to the Company; and
9.7.2 The Company may store the Goods until delivery or collection (as the case may be) takes place, and charge the Buyer for all related costs and expenses (including insurance). Where the Company does store the Goods, it may, at the Buyer’s cost and upon giving not less than 9 Business Days’ notice in writing to the Buyer, sell such Goods or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods,
9.8 If, before title to the Goods passes to the Buyer, the Buyer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 11.2, or the Company reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen and notifies the Buyer accordingly, then, provided that the Goods have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product, and without limiting any other right or remedy the Company may have, the Company may at any time require the Buyer to deliver up the Goods and, if the Buyer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Buyer or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.
10. Risk and Property
10.1 Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods will pass to the Buyer at the time of delivery.

10.6 The Buyer acknowledges that paper is sensitive to ambient atmospheric conditions and the effect of relative humidity and temperature can change the properties of the paper board constituting the Goods. The cellulosic fibres from which the Goods are made absorb water, swell and weaken at high humidity and release water and stiffen at low humidity. Until such time as the title to Goods passes to the Buyer, the Buyer will ensure that the Goods are stored correctly in accordance with the general storage requirements set out in this clause 10.6 and any specific storage instructions provided by the Company on delivery:
