The Company reserves the right to correct any typographical, clerical or other error or omission in sales literature, quotation, price list, acceptance of offer, invoice or other documents or information issued by the Company without any liability on the part of the Company.
No forbearance or delay by either party in enforcing the provisions of these Conditions shall prejudice or restrict the rights of that party, nor shall any waiver of its rights operate as a waiver of any subsequent breach, and no right, power or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved for either party, is exclusive of any other right, power or remedy available to that party and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative.
If in any particular case any of these Conditions shall be or be held to be invalid or shall not apply to the Contract the other Conditions shall continue in full force and effect.
Orders

Each order or acceptance of a quotation for Products by the Customer shall be deemed to be an offer by the Customer to purchase Products subject to these Conditions.
An order for Products may not be cancelled by the Customer except with the written agreement of the Company (in its absolute discretion) and the payment by the Customer to the Company of such amount as may be necessary to indemnify the Company against all loss resulting from the said cancellation.
An order for Products may be amended by the customer providing the customer has notified us in writing via [email protected] and received a written agreement of the Company (in its absolute discretion). If the product has already been despatched for delivery SleepHubs reserves the right to charge any additional charges incurred.
If Products are ordered and/or purchased via the Company’s website, the Customer will be deemed to have read, understood and accepted the website’s terms of use, terms and conditions of sale, privacy policy and any other legal notices posted on the website relating to the Customer’s use of the site, all of which are deemed to be incorporated into these terms and conditions.

Time of delivery shall not be of the essence of the Contract.
If for any reason the Customer fails to accept delivery of any of the Products when they are ready or have been scheduled for delivery or the Company is unable to deliver Products on time because the Customer has not provided appropriate instructions or authorisations, then the Company may thereafter store the Products for the Customer’s account and the cost of this or failed delivery shall be a debt due from the Customer to the Company on demand, but nothing in this Condition shall limit any other right of the Company against the Customer or modify the obligations of the Customer as regards payment for the Product.

All prices quoted are inclusive of any charges for mainland UK carriage and value added tax but exclude recycling charges, international carriage, customs and import levies or any similar duties or levies.
Unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, payment for the Products shall be made in full or by successful application for a payment plan by the Customer, that is active, before physical delivery of Products. Time for payment shall be of the essence.
The Customer shall pay the price of the Products without any deduction whether by way of set-off counterclaim or otherwise.
Products ordered on a payment plan will be charged to the customer on the date of order each month for the duration of the plan unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing.

the Company shall not be liable for any defects in the Products arising from or in consequence of the manner in which they are assembled or maintained or from any alteration, or repair of the Products carried out otherwise than by the Company or from the manner in or conditions under which the Products are stored or if the Customer makes any further use of such Products after giving notice;
the Company shall not be liable for any defects to the extent that the aggregate value of the defective Products is less than 8% of the aggregate value of all the Products delivered in the same batch as the defective Products.
Collection of Products by the Company (or its appointed carrier) shall not imply that the Company accepts the validity of the claim made by the Customer.
The Company’s liability is limited to repair or replacement of the Products (or part thereof) (at its option) and liability for every form of indirect or consequential damage or loss (except only death or personal injury resulting from the Company’s negligence) is hereby expressly excluded.
If the Customer shall fail to give notice in accordance with damage, defects or non-compliance above, the items delivered shall be deemed to be in all respects in accordance with the Contract and, without prejudice to earlier acceptance by the Customer, the Customer shall be bound to accept and pay for the same accordingly and all claims in respect of non-delivery, loss, damage, defect or non-compliance shall thereafter be wholly barred.

the amount representing any further profit which the Company would have made on the Contract but for its termination, such profit to be determined by the Company’s auditors whose decision shall be conclusive and binding on the Customer.
The rights shall be without prejudice to any other right enjoyed by the Company pursuant to these Conditions or by law.
Reservation of title
Property in the Products shall pass to the Customer on the happening of whichever of the following events shall first occur, namely payment in full of the whole purchase price of the Products and payment in full of every other sum whatsoever which is due from the Customer to the Company whether under this Contract or otherwise howsoever. This sub-Condition shall apply notwithstanding that the Products have been affixed to or incorporated in real property.
Until ownership of the Products has passed to the Customer, the Customer must:
hold the Products on a fiduciary basis as the Company’s bailee and trustee;
store the Products in such a way that they remain readily identifiable as the Company’s property;
maintain the Products in satisfactory condition and keep them insured on the Company’s behalf for their full price against all risks to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company. On request the Customer shall produce the policy of insurance to the Company; and
hold the proceeds of the insurance referred to above on trust for the Company and not pay the proceeds into an overdrawn bank account.
The Customer may resell the Products before ownership has passed to it solely on the basis that any sale shall be effected in the ordinary course of the Customer’s business at full market value and any such sale shall be a sale of the Company’s property and the Customer shall deal as principal when making such a sale and any proceeds will be due to the Company. The Customer will remain liable for any difference between the balance outstanding and full market value at the time of the sale.
The Customer’s right to possession of the Products shall terminate immediately on the occurrence of any of the events listed at termination or cancellation or if the Customer encumbers or in any way charges any of the Products.
The Company shall be entitled to recover payment for the Products notwithstanding that ownership of the Products has not passed from the Company. Nothing in this Condition shall in any way limit or modify the Customer’s obligation to pay for the Products in accordance with these Conditions.
The Customer grants the Company, its agents and employers an irrevocable licence at any time to enter any premises where the Products are or may be stored in order to inspect them, or, where the Customer’s right to possession is terminated, to recover them.
At any time before the happening of the last of the events mentioned in Condition Reservation of Title, the Company may by notice in writing to the Customer determine the Customer’s right to sell the Products and the Customer shall thereupon return the Products to the Company and shall cease to be in possession of the Products with the consent of the Company. At any time after the giving of such a notice, the Company may enter upon any premises where the Products are or are reasonably believed to be and may remove the Products.
The Products are at the entire risk of the Customer from the time of delivery.
The provisions of this Condition shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding termination of the Contract, howsoever caused.
Intellectual property rights
The Customer shall not use the Products for the purpose of designing or manufacturing identical Products, without the Company’s prior written consent. The copyright, trade marks, trade names and all intellectual property rights of any description in or in connection with the Products shall remain the property of the Company.
Liability
The aggregate liability of the Company (whether in contract or for negligence or breach of statutory duty or otherwise howsoever) to the Customer for any loss or damage of whatsoever nature and howsoever caused shall be limited to and in no circumstances shall exceed the price of the Products provided always that nothing in these Conditions excludes or limits the liability of the Company for death or personal injury caused by the Company’s negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation.
The Company shall not be liable to the Customer for any pure economic loss, loss of profit, loss of business, depletion of goodwill or otherwise, in each case whether direct, indirect or consequential, or any claims for consequential compensation whatsoever (howsoever caused) which arise out of or in connection with the Contract.
The Customer acknowledges that the limitations of liability contained in this Condition are reasonable and that these limitation provisions have been taken into account by the Company in pricing the Products.
Sub-contracting
The Customer may not assign or transfer the Contract, or any part of it, without the Company’s prior written consent.
Notices
Any notice to be given under these Conditions or the Contract must be in writing and may be delivered or sent by prepaid first class post or email to the party to be served at that party’s last-known address, or email address.
Any notice shall be deemed served: if posted, 48 hours after posting; and, if sent by email, at the time printed on the email delivery report (as appropriate).
Proper Law
These Conditions and the Contract shall be governed by English law and any dispute hereunder shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the English Courts.
