The customer’s attention is drawn to:

(i) our Statement to Customers with regard to Health and Safety at Work in relation to the use of shrink film and film generally

(ii) guidance given in instruction manual(s) for the use of machinery.

The customer shall take all necessary or desirable precautions to ensure the healthy and safe use of all goods supplied by us. However the information given in (i) and (ii) above is not exhaustive and of necessity is prepared for general guidance. Customers are requested to raise with us any specific enquiries with regard to such matters before making use of the goods.

Machinery should be supplied to us on the basis that it complies with Health and Safety requirements applicable in the country of manufacture. We are, however, reliant upon the manufacturer/supplier in this respect and will, at the customer’s request, pursue whatever remedies we may have for the customer’s benefit against the manufacturer/supplier for any non-compliance with Health and Safety requirements applicable in the country of manufacture and, other than this, we shall have no responsibility to the customer for any breach or non-compliance with Health and Safety requirements.

If the customer requires any additional safety equipment to be fitted to machinery, provided that the customer’s local factory inspector or the Health and Safety Executive have first approved such additional equipment then we may (but are not obliged to) fit such additional safety at the cost of the customer.

The customer shall store and use the goods in accordance with directions and instructions given by us and in particular (but without limitation) shrink films must be stored at all times in accordance with the directions on their outer packaging and/or our other directions as these goods may shrink if they are not stored in accordance with those directions.

Goods lost or damaged in transit

Where we are to arrange delivery of the goods to the customer’s place of business the customer shall notify us in writing of any non-delivery of the goods within 14 days after the estimated date of despatch. If the customer’s failure to notify us in writing within the said 14 day period causes any claim to be refused by the carrier of the goods, the entire loss must be borne by the customer.

The customer shall inspect the goods immediately upon delivery. In the case of damage or short delivery the customer must (for the protection of the customer and ourselves and in order to comply with the carrier’s regulations):

(i) Put a written note on the delivery note giving brief details of the damage or short delivery

(ii) Notify in writing separately both ourselves and the delivering station of the carriers not later than the day following delivery giving full details of the damage or short delivery.

If we so request machinery shall be inspected jointly by the customer and ourselves at the place and time of delivery of the machinery to the customer.

and we shall not be responsible for any of the above items

If our quotation or acknowledgement of order expressly states that training is included

(i) Our obligation with regard to training is limited to assisting the customer’s one skilled technician to use the machine after the customer has confirmed that the customer has connected the machine to the electricity and other appropriate supplies and services; and

(ii) Our obligation to provide assistance is limited to the number of man hours stated and we shall not be obliged to provide any further or other assistance

(iii) We shall not be obliged to commence assistance unless shrink film and other materials for use with the machinery are those recommended or supplied by us

(v) All materials and shrink film used during the provision of assistance shall be at the customer’s cost.

Waiver

No waiver by us shall be construed as a waiver of any proceeding or succeeding breach of any provision.
