Basis of contracts
These Conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.
The Order constitutes an offer by the Customer to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Conditions. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order and any applicable Specification submitted by the Customer are complete and accurate.
The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when Miista issues a written acceptance of the Order, at which point the Contract shall come into existence.
The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. The Customer acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance or warranty made or given by or on behalf of Miista which is not set out in the Contract.
Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter, or advertising produced by Miista and any descriptions or illustrations contained in Miista’s catalogues or brochures are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.
Goods
The Goods are described in the Specification.
The Customer hereby authorises Miista to use any intellectual property rights of the Customer or its licensors in the Specification or otherwise to be incorporated into the Goods to the extent required for the purposes of, and as set out in, this Agreement.
To the extent that the Goods are to be manufactured in accordance with a Specification supplied by the Customer, or incorporating intellectual property rights belonging to the Customer or its licensors, the Customer shall indemnify Miista against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal and other reasonable professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by Miista in connection with any claim made against Miista for actual or alleged infringement of a third party's intellectual property rights arising out of or in connection with Miista's use of the Specification. This clause 3.3 shall survive termination of the Contract.
Miista reserves the right to amend the Specification if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.
Delivery
Miista shall ensure that:
each delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note which shows the date of the Order, all relevant Customer and Miista reference numbers, the type and quantity of the Goods (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable), special storage instructions (if any) and, if the Order is being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Goods remaining to be delivered; and if Miista requires the Customer to return any packaging materials to Miista, that fact is clearly stated on the delivery note. The Customer shall make any such packaging materials available for collection at such times as Miista shall reasonably request. Returns of packaging materials shall be at Miista’s expense.
Miista shall deliver the Goods to the location set out in the Order or such other location as the parties may agree (Delivery Location) at any time after Miista notifies the Customer that the Goods are ready.
Unless otherwise agreed, the Delivery Location shall be Ex Works at Miista's premises.
Delivery of the Goods shall be completed on the Goods' arrival at the Delivery Location.
Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not “of the essence”. Miista shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer’s failure to provide Miista with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
If 60 Business Days after the day on which Miista notified the Customer that the Goods were ready for delivery the Customer has not taken delivery of them, Miista may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, account to the Customer for any excess over the price of the Goods or charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.
Miista may deliver the Goods by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate Contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment.
Quality
Miista warrants that on delivery, and for a period of six months from the date of delivery (warranty period), the Goods shall:
conform in all material respects with the Specification; and
be free from material defects in material and workmanship.
Subject to clause 5.3, if:
the Customer gives notice in writing to Miista during the warranty period within a reasonable time of discovery that some or all of the Goods do not comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1;
Miista is given a reasonable opportunity of examining such Goods; and
the Customer (if asked to do so by Miista) returns such Goods to Miista's place of business at the Customer’s cost,
Miista shall, at its option, repair or replace the defective Goods, or refund the price of the defective Goods in full. Miista will use its own quality control records to assess the validity of claims that the warranty in clause 5.1 has been breached and reserves the right to reject claims where its quality control records show no defect in the Goods in question. The Customer shall bear the costs of returns of Goods, which Miista shall reimburse only if it accepts that the returned Goods did not comply with clause 5.1.
Miista shall not be liable for the Goods' failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1 in any of the following events:
the Customer makes any further use of such Goods after giving notice in accordance with clause 5.2;
the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow Miista's oral or written instructions, or good practice as to the storage or use, of the Goods;
the defect arises as a result of Miista following any drawing, design or Specification supplied by the Customer;
the defect arises as a result of the use of material which the Customer has chosen and directed Miista to purchase for use in the Goods;
the Customer alters or repairs such Goods without the written consent of Miista;
the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal storage or working conditions; or
the Goods differ from the Specification as a result of changes made to ensure they comply with applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.
Except as provided in this clause 5, Miista shall have no liability to the Customer in respect of the Goods' failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1.
The terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.
These Conditions shall apply to any repaired or replacement Goods supplied by Miista.
Title and risk
The risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer on completion of delivery.
Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the earlier of:
Miista receiving payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods and any other goods that Miista has supplied to the Customer, in which case title to the Goods shall pass at the time of payment of all such sums; and
the Customer reselling the Goods, in which case title to the Goods shall pass to the Customer at the time specified in clause 6.4.
Until title to the Goods has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall:
store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Customer so that they remain readily identifiable as Miista's property;
not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;
maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery;
notify Miista immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 8.2; and
give Miista such information relating to the Goods as Miista may require from time to time.
Subject to clause 6.5, the Customer may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business (but not otherwise) before Miista receives payment for the Goods. However, if the Customer resells the Goods before that time:
it does so as principal and not as Miista’s agent; and
title to the Goods shall pass from Miista to the Customer immediately before the time at which resale by the Customer occurs.
If before title to the Goods passes to the Customer the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 8.2, then, without limiting any other right or remedy Miista may have:
the Customer's right to resell the Goods or use them in the ordinary course of its business ceases immediately; and
Miista may at any time:
cancel or suspend orders for un-delivered Goods;
retain shipping documents for any Goods in transit, and recover such Goods upon their arrival at their destination port;
require the Customer and any member of the Customer's Group to deliver up all Goods in its possession (whether at warehouses or retail outlets) which have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product;
if the Customer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Customer or of any third party (including members of the Customer's Group) where the Goods are stored in order to recover them; and
resell any such un-delivered or recovered Goods to a third party.
Price and payment
The price of the Goods shall be the price set out in the Order, or, if no price is quoted, the price set out in Miista’s published price list in force as at the date of delivery.
If:
any factor beyond Miista’s control (including foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties, and increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs);
any request by the Customer to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered, or the Specification; or
any delay caused by any instructions of the Customer or failure of the Customer to give Miista adequate or accurate information or instructions
results in an increase in the cost of manufacturing the Goods, Miista may notify the Customer and the parties shall negotiate in good faith to discuss the effect on the Price.
The price of the Goods is exclusive of the costs and charges of packaging, insurance and transport of the Goods, which shall be invoiced to the Customer.
The price of the Goods is exclusive of amounts in respect of value added tax, sales tax or duties (Tax). If applicable, the Customer shall, on receipt of a valid invoice from Miista, pay to Miista such additional amounts in respect of Tax as are chargeable on the supply of the Goods.
Unless otherwise agreed in an order, Miista may invoice the Customer for the Goods as follows:
a deposit of 30% of the price of the Goods shall become payable upon acceptance of the Order by Miista; and
the balance of 70% of the price, and any additional cost of packaging, insurance and freight, shall become payable immediately prior to delivery.
The Customer shall pay invoices issued in accordance with clause 7.5.1 within 30 days of issue (or prior to delivery, if sooner), and shall pay invoices issued in accordance with clause 7.5.2 prior to shipment, and no later than one week after the date of the invoice in full and in cleared funds. Unless otherwise agreed, the Customer shall pay all other invoices in cleared funds within 30 days of the date of issue. Payment shall be made to the bank account nominated in writing by Miista. Time of payment is of the essence.
If the Customer fails to make any payment due to Miista under the Contract by the due date for payment, then the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 8.0% per annum above HSBC Bank PLC’s base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. The Customer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.
The Customer shall pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (except for any deduction or withholding required by law). Miista may at any time, without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have, set off any amount owing to it by the Customer against any amount payable by Miista to the Customer.
Termination and suspension
If the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 8.2, Miista may terminate the Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to the Customer.
