In these Conditions:
1. “Buyer” means the person who accepts a quotation of the Seller for the sale of Goods or whose order for the Goods is accepted by the Seller.
2. “Goods” mean the goods which the Seller is to supply in accordance with these Conditions.
3. “Seller” means Skyline Roofing Centres and/or Skyline Roofing Centres Limited and/or Skyline Roofing Centres (LB) Limited and/or Skyline Roofing (Bedford) Limited and/or Skyline Solar Ltd whose registered office is at Unit 73, Waterside Trading Centre, Trumpers Way, Hanwell, London, W7 2QA.

5. “Contract” means the contract for the purchase and sale of the Goods.
6. “Writing” includes telex, email, facsimile transmission and comparable means of communication.
2. Basis of the sale
These Conditions will govern the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms, including any terms and conditions which the Buyer may purport to apply under any purchase order, confirmation of order or other document. Any variation of these Conditions will only bind the Seller if agreed in Writing between authorised representatives of the Seller and the Buyer. The Seller’s employees are not authorised to make any representations concerning the Goods unless confirmed by the Seller in Writing. In entering into the Contract and in accepting delivery, the Buyer acknowledges that it does not rely on representations concerning the Goods, which are not confirmed in this way.
3. Order process
All Goods are offered for sale subject to availability and subject to the Seller’s acceptance of the Order. No Order shall be deemed accepted by the Seller unless and until the Seller in Writing confirms it unconditionally. The Buyer is able to correct errors on their order up to the point on which they click on “submit” during the ordering process. Any literature published or submitted by the Seller to the Buyer, which contains any descriptions, specifications, drawings or prices of the Goods is published or submitted for guidance only. The Seller reserves the right to make minor modifications in the design and specification of the Goods without notice to the Buyer, but agrees to notify the Buyer of any major or material modifications which the Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted unless notification to the contrary is received by the Seller within 7 days.
4. Products
By their nature, natural products vary in texture, grain and colour. While all reasonable efforts will be made by the Seller to ensure that all the Goods supplied incorporating natural products will correspond as closely as possible to samples or displays previously inspected by the Buyer (and to each other), the Seller gives no warranty in regard to an exact match of colour and texture.
5. Prices
The Buyer will pay the Price together with an amount equal to VAT chargeable on the sale of the Goods. Wherever it is not possible for the Seller to accept an order to buy Goods of the specification and description at the price indicated on the website, the Seller will advise the Buyer of the changed Price (the “New Price”) and will state the period for which the price remains valid. The Buyer will be obliged to take delivery of the Goods at the New Price unless the Buyer advises the Seller within the stated valid period of time that they will not pay the New Price. In this case the Seller will be under no obligation to deliver the Goods to the Buyer.
6. Payments
The Seller will charge the Buyer credit or debit card for payment upon receipt of their order unless delivery cannot be fulfilled within 30 days. The Seller accepts no liability if a delivery is delayed because the Buyer did not give the seller the correct payment details. If it is not possible to obtain full payment for the goods from the Buyer credit or debit card then without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller shall be entitled to cancel the Contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Buyer.

The Buyer or, where relevant, the person to whom delivery is made in accordance with the above Condition (b), must inspect the Goods on delivery and sign the required proof of delivery document or collection acceptance document. A signature on that document or Goods signed for “Unchecked” will constitute conclusive evidence against the Buyer of receipt of the quantity of Goods indicated on that document free from any apparent defect or damage and in no circumstances will the Seller accept a return of Goods or any other liability in regard to apparent defect or damage where such Goods have previously been installed by or on behalf of the Buyer. The Buyer may not reject the Goods or any part of them solely on the grounds of short delivery of an installment. If the Goods are alleged to be damaged or defective on delivery, a description of the alleged damage or defect must be given in Writing at the time of delivery and signed by or on behalf of the Buyer or, where relevant, the person to whom delivery is made in accordance with the above Condition (b). The Seller reserves the right to make delivery of the Goods by installments. If the Goods are to be delivered in installments, each delivery will constitute a separate contract.

Once the Goods have been delivered they will be held at the Buyer’s own risk and the Seller will not be liable for the loss or destruction of the Goods. If the Buyer fails to take delivery of the Goods then, in addition to any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller may do either or both of the following; (c) store the Goods until actual delivery and charge the Buyer for the cost (including insurance) of storage, together with any other reasonable incidental costs; (d) sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable by the Seller and (after deducting all storage and selling expenses) charge the Buyer for any shortfall below the Price. The Buyer must advise the Seller in Writing of any alteration, cancellation or deferral of delivery and the Seller reserves the right to make a charge, whether the Goods have been taken into stock or not. Goods must not be returned to the Seller except by prior arrangement confirmed in Writing by the Seller. In addition to the right of the Seller contained in above Conditions (c), in the event the Buyer requests a delay in delivery of the Goods, which request is made less than 14 days prior to the agreed date for delivery, the Seller reserves the right to charge and the Buyer shall pay the full delivery cost of the Goods on the delayed date.
