Terms and Conditions

1. You acknowledge that an order by you placed on the Website constitutes an offer by you to Klipspringer to purchase one or more Products, using the shopping cart and checkout application on the Website subject to these Terms and Conditions of Supply. “Products” shall be deemed to include all products advertised on the Klipspringer website or otherwise purchased from or through Klipspringer. Where you have placed an Order for Products either by phone or other than via the Website, any Product supplied is subject to these terms and conditions as referenced in Klipspringer documentation (either by email, by Order Acknowledgment, Order Confirmation or other correspondence). 

2. The Contract for a particular transaction is concluded at the point where Klipspringer accepts your offer to purchase any Products by remitting an order confirmation to you (the "Order Confirmation") by email. Until such Order Acknowledgment or Order Confirmation is sent, Klipspringer has no obligation in respect of your proposed purchase. The Order Acknowledgment or Order Confirmation is subject to these terms and conditions which shall apply to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions. 

3. Klipspringer may however in its sole discretion reject your order in whole or in part (without liability) if it is unable to fulfil it in full and will refund any payments made for the unfulfilled portion of your order. 

4. If Klipspringer is unable to supply you with a product, for example because that product is not in stock or no longer available or because of an error in the price on our Website it will inform you of this by e-mail and will not process that part of your order that cannot be fulfilled. If you have already paid for the products, Klipspringer will refund you the amount in respect of that part of the Order that cannot be fulfilled as soon as reasonably possible. 

5. You may only purchase products from our Website if you are at least 18 years old. 

6. As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to products that are faulty or not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizen's Bureau or Trading Standards office. Nothing in these Terms and Conditions of Supply will affect these legal rights. 

7. If you are not a consumer, you confirm that you have authority to bind any business on whose behalf you purchase Products. 

8. These Terms and Conditions of Supply, and any documents expressly referred to in them (which for the avoidance of doubt includes all of the other Policies) constitute the entire agreement between you and Klipspringer (but in the case of you being a consumer, are in addition to the statutory rights that you may have). You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of us or Klipspringer which is not set out in these Terms and Conditions of Supply or any document expressly referred to in them.

10. Standard delivery is free of charge for orders over £300 (ex. VAT) to locations throughout England, Scotland and Wales, and for orders over £500 (ex. VAT) to locations throughout Northern Ireland and ROI.  Orders under these thresholds will incur a delivery charge dependent on region, unless otherwise agreed.

11. Special delivery services are available on request for UK mainland only.

12. Where orders are placed prior to 16:00 and the required items are in stock, orders will be despatched the same day. This generally means orders are delivered the next working day before 17:30 in the UK (allow 2 working days for ROI, Northern Ireland and a few of the most northern counties of Scotland), although this cannot be guaranteed by Klipspringer. All deliveries must be acknowledged, inspected and signed for by a representative of the buyer. 

13. Delivery charges for goods supplied outside of UK and ROI are determined at point of sale. Default terms of delivery for UK and ROI are ExWorks. Default terms of delivery to the EU are DAP (Delivery at Place, duty not paid). EU deliveries with any charges incurred for non-payment of import tax and duties, resulting in the goods being returned, are liable for payment by the customer.

14. Unless otherwise advised by the Buyer, complimentary confectionary may be added to your order. If the Buyer does not wish to receive this, then please advise Klipspringer in writing to sales@klipspringer.com and this will be noted against your account. 

15. The majority of the packaging supplied is staple-free but we cannot guarantee this for all items, so care should be taken when unpacking deliveries. 

Notwithstanding the above, Klipspringer shall not be liable, save as set out herein, for any failure to deliver the Products or for any damage to Products prior to delivery. In the event of the failure to deliver the Product by the time specified in the special delivery service as set out above, Klipspringer’s liability shall be to reimburse the difference paid by the Buyer above the cost of standard delivery. 

For Products or packaging damaged prior to delivery the provisions set out below shall apply. 

16. Credit facilities are offered on receipt of satisfactory trade references and reports and are subject to our terms and conditions of trading. 

17. Klipspringer reserves the right to suspend or stop deliveries and to withdraw or restrict credit facilities (i) if any payment becomes overdue or (ii) has reason to believe that the Customer may be unable or unwilling to pay for the goods or (iii) otherwise at Klipspringer’s discretion. Klipspringer will advise the Buyer if and when it proposes to stop deliveries or withdraw credit, although failure to do so notify shall not affect Klipspringer’s rights. 

18. It is the responsibility of the credit account Customer to inform Klipspringer of any changes that may adversely affect their account. 

19. Net payment is due on presentation of invoice (in the case of approved accounts only) within 30 days of the end of month in which invoice was raised (unless alternative credit terms have been agreed in writing with Klipspringer).

Prior to the application of clause 20, Klipspringer will make every effort to work with the customer to effect a swift payment and provide the buyer at least 10 working days’ notice to resolve any invoicing queries. 

21. Payment shall be made in full without any deduction or withholding other than as required by law and the buyer shall not be entitled to assert any credit, set off or counterclaim against Klipspringer in order to justify withholding payment in whole or in part of any amount due. 

22. Where an order is placed and no credit facility has been approved, payment can be made on receipt of a pro-forma invoice by bank transfer via BACS or by bank card (Visa or Master Card [AMEX not accepted]). Where high value items are included in the purchase, Klipspringer reserves the right to ensure that the funds are cleared before processing the order.

Title to the Products shall pass to the Buyer until payment in full for the Products (together with all other amounts due by the Buyer to Klipspringer) has been received by Klipspringer.

Unless the contrary is proved, it shall be assumed that the Buyer has sold or otherwise parted with possession of Products delivered by the Seller in the same order as they were delivered, i.e. first in, first out. 

24. Only where Items correctly supplied against any order where an Order Confirmation has been sent, may not be returned for credit without prior agreement, please contact Klipspringer via email to sales@klipspringer.com for a Goods Return Form. On initially correctly supplied items being returned we reserve the right to levy a 15% handling charge.

27. All Parcels should be inspected for external damage before being accepted and signed for by the Buyer (Customer) or their representative. If damage is found but is minimal and the Buyer is willing to accept the delivery, then the damage must be reported to the delivery driver to record such damage before the buyer signs to accept the delivery. Photographic evidence may also be advised, as parcels accepted as in good condition will not be claimable if contents are later found to be damaged due to external damage not reported. If the Buyer or their representative believes damage may have also resulted in internal damage to the products the Buyer has purchased, then the Buyer or their representative may refuse to accept delivery. Please advise Klipspringer as soon as possible after a delivery rejection, so a replacement order can be processed. 

28. If damage to items is found whilst unpacking, then please notify Klipspringer by phone +44 (0)1473 461800 and in writing via email to sales@klipspringer.com within 48 hours of delivery or as soon as discovered. Photographic evidence will also be required.
