Delivery of Tangible Goods

1.

Such deliveries are usually offered free of charge but the Company reserves the right to charge for delivery of certain items, for example the small order handling charge as set out in Condition 5.4, those items that are very large, heavy or hazardous, and the Company reserves the right to charge for delivery as standard on certain accounts. Any such charge will be notified to the Customer at the time of establishment of its account or placing of the Order to which such charge applies.
2. Where Tangible Goods ordered are not included in the Catalogue or are non-stock items or are customised order Goods, it may not be possible for the Company to arrange next day despatch but the Company will make reasonable endeavours to notify the Customer of the lead times for such Tangible Goods, where known.
3. For more urgent deliveries of Tangible Goods the Company offers a special next day and same day delivery, the details and cost of which are set out in the Catalogue. Tangible Goods highlighted in the Catalogue with H next to the order code may be available for delivery within 48 hours but, as a result of their size and/or weight, cannot be delivered using the next or same day service.
4. The Customer may request delivery or performance by instalments for up to 12 months from the date of the Order. The Company reserves the right to deliver or perform by instalments. Failure to meet a delivery or performance date where deliveries or performance are by instalments shall not prevent or restrict the Company from making further deliveries or rendering subsequent performance under the relevant Contract by instalments.
5. Delivery will be made to the address specified by the Customer. The Company reserves the right to arrange delivery of any Tangible Goods directly from the manufacturer or supplier of those Tangible Goods to the Customer.



Delivery of Software Electronically by Download

6. In the case of any Software provided by the Company electronically for download by the Customer, following receipt of payment in cleared funds in full by the Company (or following the Customer’s purchase of any Software pursuant to the terms of an existing credit agreement between the Customer and the Company), and subject to the Company’s completion of any necessary credit, anti-fraud or compliance checks or procedures, the Company will send to the Customer’s email address (as specified by the Customer at the time the Order was placed) an email containing (i) a hyperlink by which the Software can be accessed and (ii) instructions enabling the Customer to activate the Software.
7. BY PLACING AN ORDER FOR ANY SOFTWARE PROVIDED ELECTRONICALLY FOR DOWNLOAD BY THE COMPANY THE CUSTOMER IS AGREEING TO USE SUCH SOFTWARE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE APPLICABLE EULA FOR THAT SOFTWARE.



Delivery of All Goods

8. The Company may use any method of delivery available to it. The Company will use reasonable endeavours to meet delivery and/or performance estimates but, except as set out in Condition 7 below, in no circumstances shall it be liable to compensate the Customer for non-delivery, non-performance or late delivery or performance.
9. Time for delivery and/or performance will not be of the essence and the Company reserves the right to delay despatch for a number of reasons, including to perform any necessary credit or anti-fraud checks or procedures or to ensure that payment in full has been received in cleared funds. Where despatch is delayed for such reasons, the Company will use reasonable endeavours to inform the Customer

7. Inspection, defects and non delivery

1. The Customer must inspect any Goods as soon as is reasonably practicable after delivery or, in the case of Services, performance and, except as set out in Condition 16 below, the Company shall not be liable for any defect in any of the Supplies unless written notice is given to the Company within 10 calendar days of the date of inspection.
2. The Company does not write the Software or any software comprised in the Goods and it is the Customer’s responsibility to check for the presence of computer viruses before the Goods are used.
3. The quantity of any:
   
   
   1. consignment of Tangible Goods, as recorded by the Company upon despatch from the Company’s place of business; or
   2. Software provided by the Company electronically for download by the Customer, as recorded by the Company upon despatch,

shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity received by the Customer on delivery, unless the Customer can provide evidence to the contrary that is reasonably satisfactory to the Company.




4. The Company will not be liable for any non-delivery of Goods or non-performance of Services unless written notice is given to the Company within 10 calendar days of the date when Goods should have been delivered or the Services performed in the ordinary course of events. Subject to Condition 17.1 below, the liability of the Company for non-delivery or non-performance or for Goods notified as defective on delivery or Services notified as defective following performance in accordance with Condition 7 will be limited to replacing the defective Goods or re-performing the defective Services within a reasonable time or to refunding the price paid in respect of such defective Goods and/or defective Services.

8. Prices

1. Prices for Supplies are in £ sterling and are exclusive of VAT. Where the Company agrees to trade in Euro, it will specify an exchange rate for each Order. The Company has used all reasonable endeavours to ensure that prices for Supplies are accurately set out in the Catalogue but reserves the right to change its prices without notice at any time. Prices charged will be those prevailing when an Order is accepted. Where Supplies are to be made in instalments ('Scheduled Delivery') the price payable for them will be that applicable at the time the Order is received but, where Scheduled Deliveries continue for a period of 90 calendar days or more from the date the Order is received, the Company reserves the right to charge the Customer further amounts if the price of the Supplies increases before the end of the Scheduled Delivery period.
2. All sums payable by the Customer in accordance with these Conditions are exclusive of VAT. Where any Supplies are provided by the Company to the Customer that are subject to VAT, the Customer shall pay an amount equal to such VAT (in addition to any other consideration payable by the Customer) to the Company and the Company shall (where required by applicable laws) issue an appropriate VAT invoice to the Customer.
3. Orders for Goods are usually accepted by the Company by despatching the Goods provided, however, that despatch will not be acceptance where the price for the Supplies has been incorrectly quoted or referenced by the Customer in its Order and the pricing error could have reasonably been recognised by the Customer as a mispricing.

9. Payment

1. Subject to Condition 9.2, payment is usually due not later than the 20th of the month following the month of despatch in respect of any Goods and not later than the 20th of the month following the month of performance in respect of any Services, without any deductions, withholding or set off.
2. The Company reserves the right to request payment in advance or otherwise in accordance with the payment terms specified by the Company in any Order or in accordance with Condition 6.2.
3. Time for payment is of the essence. If the Customer fails to make payment by the due date then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, the Company shall be entitled to:
   
   
   1. cancel the Order or suspend any further deliveries or performance;
   2. appropriate any payment made by the Customer to such of the Supplies (or any of the Supplies made under any other contract) as the Company may think fit; and
   3. charge interest (both before and after any judgment) on the amount unpaid at the rate of 5% per annum above the base rate from time to time of HSBC Bank plc from the due date of payment until payment is made.
4. Invoices will be sent electronically to the email address provided during the account application process. This can be changed or a printed invoice requested by contacting the Farnell Accounts Receivable department (contact details can be found on the invoice). If a printed invoice is required, Farnell reserves the right to levy a charge to cover postal costs.
5. The Company reserves the right to charge for copy invoices or credit notes at the rate of £1.00 per copy where the original has been lost or misplaced by the Customer. If legal action is taken to recover monies due to the Company then the Company reserves the right to charge the Customer an administration fee to cover all and any costs incurred.

10. Returns

2. Prior to returning any Goods to the Company for any reason, the Customer must contact the Company to obtain a returns material authorisation number (‘RMA’).
3. All Goods are returned at the Customer’s risk and expense and should be undamaged and in their original packaging (if applicable). The Customer is responsible for returning Goods to the Company and for providing proof of delivery of such return.
4. The Customer should return Tangible Goods to “The Returns Department, Farnell Unit 3, Logic Leeds, Skelton Moor Way, Halton, Leeds, LS15 0BF” clearly quoting the returns material authorisation number (RMA), Customer’s account number and Order number on the outside of the package.
5. Any Goods returned after 21 calendar days of despatch as ‘unwanted’ or ‘incorrectly ordered’ may be accepted at the discretion of the Company, but will be subject to a minimum restocking fee of 20% of the invoice value of the Goods or £10, whichever is the greater.
6. Subject to Condition 11 below:
   
   
   1. Tangible Goods that consist of Software or are specially constructed or contain any of the hazardous substances referred to in Directive 2002/95/EC on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical or Electronic Equipment (‘RoHS’);
   2. any Goods which are not included in the Catalogue or are non-stock items or are customised order Goods;
   3. any static-sensitive Goods or moisture sensitive components supplied in sealed packaging in which the blister or ‘peel’ packs they are supplied in have been opened, tampered with or damaged;
   4. any goods with date and/or lot code information which does not match the original pick label/packing slip, or which have been opened, tampered with or damaged;
   5. any Software provided in a physical format by the Company that has been unsealed by the Customer; and
   6. any Software provided electronically for download by the Company,

may not be returned under Condition 10.

11. Consumer contracts regulations

1. Subject to Condition 11.3, if, notwithstanding the terms of Condition 2, the Customer demonstrates conclusively that he or she purchased Supplies as a consumer, as defined in the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, the Customer may, provided he or she has taken reasonable care of the Goods, return the Goods and be repaid the price paid in respect of them within 21 calendar days of their delivery. To return Goods on this basis, the Customer must notify the Company in writing and return the Goods, in their original packaging, within the 21 calendar day period to “The Returns Department, Farnell Unit 3, Logic Leeds, Skelton Moor Way, Halton, Leeds, LS15 0BF” clearly quoting the returns material authorisation number (RMA), Customer’s account number and Order number on the outside of the package (see Condition 10.4).
2. Goods should be returned within the return policy time period set out in Condition 10 with proof of posting and with postage tracking enabled and the Customer is responsible for payment of all postage costs. In respect of certain Goods the Company may prefer to arrange collection itself and, if requested, the Customer will allow the Company to collect the Goods and will assist in the arrangements for the Goods’ collection. All reasonable costs of collection will be borne by the Customer. The Customer is responsible for the care and custody of the Goods pending their return or collection. Following receipt of Goods which comply with this Condition 11, the Company will refund to the Customer the price paid in respect of the Goods.
3. Condition 11 shall not apply to any Software provided in a physical format by the Company that has been unsealed by the Customer or any Software provided electronically for download by the Company that has been despatched to the Customer.

12. Description

1. All specifications, drawings, illustrations, descriptions and particulars of weights, dimensions, capacity or other details including, without limitation, any statements regarding compliance with legislation or regulation (together “Descriptions”) wherever they appear (including without limitation in the Catalogue, on data sheets, application notes, despatch notes, invoices or packaging) are intended to give a general idea of the Supplies, but will not form part of the Contract.
2. If the Description of any Goods differs from the manufacturer’s description, the latter shall be deemed to be correct. The Company shall take all reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of Descriptions but relies on such information, if any, as may have been provided to it by its suppliers and, subject to Condition 17.1, accepts no liability in contract or tort or under statute or otherwise for any error in or omission from such Descriptions whether caused by the Company’s negligence or otherwise. The Company may make changes to the Supplies as part of a continuous programme of improvement or to comply with legislation. Without prejudice to Condition 12, Customers are recommended to check the Company’s website for the latest Descriptions of the Goods, in particular, but without limitation, with regard to statements regarding RoHS.

13. Risk and ownership

Risk in the Goods

1. The risk of damage to or loss of Goods will pass to the Customer:
   
   
   1. in respect of Tangible Goods, when the Tangible Goods are unloaded from the Company’s carriers at the Customer’s premises; and
   2. in respect of any Software provided electronically for download by the Customer, the time that such Software is made available to the Customer to download and use in accordance with the applicable EULA.



Title in the Goods

2. Subject to Condition 13.3 below, ownership of the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the Company has received in full (in cash or cleared funds) all sums due from the Customer to the Company on any account whatsoever. Until ownership passes to the Customer, the Customer must hold such Goods on a fiduciary basis as the Company’s bailee. If payment is not received in full by the due date, or the Customer passes a resolution for winding up or a court shall make an Order to that effect, or a receiver or administrator is appointed over any assets or the undertaking of the Customer or an execution or distress is levied against the Customer, the Company shall be entitled, without previous notice, to retake possession of the Goods and for that purpose to enter upon any premises occupied or owned by the Customer.
3. Title in any Software, including any software program forming all or any part of the Goods, is reserved to the Company and/or its suppliers and shall not pass to the Customer.

14. Quality Assurance

15. Performance and fitness for purpose

1. Unless any performance figures, tolerances or characteristics have been specifically and expressly warranted by a director of the Company in writing, the Company accepts no liability for any failure of any of the Supplies to comply with such criteria, whether attributable to the Company’s negligence or otherwise.
2. The responsibility for ensuring that Supplies are sufficient and suitable for a particular purpose is the Customer’s, unless specifically stated in writing by a director of the Company.

3. Except as set out in Condition 17.1, the liability of the Company to the Customer, should any warranty, statement, advice or recommendation confirmed in accordance with Condition 15 prove to be incorrect, inaccurate or misleading (the “Inaccurate Statement”), will be limited to the refund of the price paid for any part of the Supplies about which the Inaccurate Statement was made or, at the Company’s option, the supply of replacement Supplies which are sufficient and suitable.

16. Warranty/Guarantee

1. The Company will endeavour to transfer to the Customer the benefit of any warranty or guarantee given by the manufacturer of Goods.

However, this obligation will not apply:
   
   
   1. if the defect arises because the Customer has altered or repaired such Goods without the written consent of the Company;
   2. because the Customer did not follow the manufacturer’s instructions for storage, usage, installation or maintenance of the Goods;
   3. if the Customer has failed to notify the Company of any defect in accordance with Condition 7 where the defect should have been reasonably apparent on reasonable inspection; or
   4. if the Customer fails to notify the Company of the defect within 12 months (or such other period as the Company shall specify at the time of acceptance of the Order for the Supplies) of the date of despatch of the Goods or performance of the Services even if the claimed date of inspection occurs after this period.
2. Software programs are supplied on the strict understanding that the Company does not warrant their function to be free from defects or error and any claim made by the Customer in relation to any alleged defects or error in any Software provided by the Company to the Customer will be under the applicable EULA and must be made against the licensor under the EULA.
3. Any replacement Supplies provided or Goods repaired under Condition 16 will be guaranteed on these terms for any unexpired portion of the period of guarantee given on the original Supplies. Any Goods which have been replaced will belong to the Company.
4. The Customer grants to the Company and its employees, agents and representatives a right to enter onto its premises to effect any repair or replacement under Condition 16. The Customer shall ensure that the Company’s employees, agents and representatives are provided with a safe and secure working environment while at its premises and the Customer shall be responsible for isolating any computers or processors requiring repair or replacement from its network and for making backup copies of any information on such computers or processors before the arrival of the Company’s employees, agents or representatives on the Customer’s premises.
5. Except as set out in Condition 17.1 below and Condition 7 above, Condition 16 is the Company’s sole obligation and the Customer’s sole remedy for defective Supplies and is accepted by the Customer in substitution for all express or implied representations, conditions or warranties, statutory or otherwise, as to the satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose or performance of the Goods (or any materials used in connection therewith) or the standard of workmanship of the Services and all such representations, conditions and warranties are excluded.
6. No support and maintenance services in respect of any Software will be provided by the Company to the Customer except those specifically referred to in the Order for such Software.

      1. the Company will make all reasonable efforts to inform the Customer of the pending obsolescence or replacement of any Goods but accepts no liability for failing to do so in a timely manner or at all, nor for failing to provide details of possible or appropriate substitutes or for failing to provide the service in the manner or at the times anticipated.

2. The Company shall have no liability whatsoever in the event of any claim of infringement of any such rights howsoever arising. The Customer is responsible for informing itself of the terms of its licence or use and paying any royalty payable.

20. Use of Personal Data

21. Promotions

22. Country of origin

23. Export

1. Separate Conditions of Supply apply to export transactions and are available on request from the Company’s export department. The Customer is responsible at its own expense for obtaining any licence and complying with any export regulations in force within the United Kingdom and in the country for which the Goods are destined.
2. Certain Goods imported from the United States of America by the Company are subject to specific restrictions. With respect to goods manufactured in or originating from the United States, the Customer agrees to comply with all applicable export laws, restrictions and regulations of the United States or foreign agencies or authorities and shall not import, export or transfer for the purpose of re-export, any product to any prohibited or embargoed country or to any denied, blocked, or designated person or entity as mentioned in any such U.S. or foreign law or regulation. The Customer represents and warrants that it is not on the Denied Persons, Specially Designated Nationals or Debarred Persons List and is not otherwise prohibited by law from purchasing the Supplies.
3. The Company reserves the right not to supply certain customers or countries and to require from the Customer full details of the end use and final destination of the Goods.

24. US Stock

1. In relation to any contract for the supply of Goods which are notified by the Company to be US Stock or Newark direct ship Goods or subject to the US Stock or Newark direct ship terms (“US Stock Goods”), the provisions of Condition 24 shall apply in addition to all other terms and conditions set out in these Conditions. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms set out above and Condition 24, Condition 24 shall prevail. Condition 24 does not apply to any Contract which does not include US Stock Goods.

Delivery

2. All Orders containing US Stock Goods are subject to an additional delivery charge in the amount published by the Company at the time of the Order (currently £9.99 per Order but subject to change from time to time) (“the US Stock Fee”). In some circumstances (depending on the size and weight of the item(s), as well as the speed and/or dates of delivery required) the US Stock Fee may be higher and in such circumstance, an updated US Stock Fee (payable by the Customer) will be confirmed by the Company prior to shipping. The Customer will have the right to cancel the Order, prior to the shipping of the relevant Goods should the US Stock Fee be higher than £9.99. However, once the delivery of the Goods has been confirmed, those Goods will be deemed non-cancellable and non-returnable. US Stock Goods are normally delivered 3 working days after receipt of an Order received prior to 6 pm on a working day. US Stock Goods ordered after 6 pm on a working day or on a non-working day are normally delivered 3 working days after the next working day following receipt of the Order. This is regardless of the delivery method chosen during the Order process (which shall continue to apply to all other Goods ordered). The special same or next day delivery service does not apply to US Stock Goods. All delivery times set out in Condition 24 are estimates only.

Cancellation and returns

3. Save in accordance with Condition 11 above, all orders for US Stock Goods, whether single drop or scheduled, are irrevocable and cannot be cancelled and US Stock Goods may not be returned except in accordance with Conditions 11 or 16 (if applicable) or with the prior written consent of a director of the Company.

Use of personal data in relation to US Stock Goods

4. In order to fulfil any Contract for US Stock Goods the Company will transfer the personal data of the person to whom the Goods are to be delivered to the USA. In placing any Order for US Stock Goods, the Customer accepts that this transfer will take place and consents to its taking place, even though the USA does not provide the same level of protection to personal data as the UK. The Company will endeavour to ensure that the personal data will receive an adequate level of protection while in the hands of its representatives in the USA. Where the personal data relates to another individual to whom the Goods are to be delivered, the Customer agrees that he or she has the authority of that individual to consent on their behalf. The Customer can withhold or withdraw his or her consent by email at ukdpo@farnell.com or by writing to the Company at Farnell, Marketing, Canal Road, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS12 2TU but this will severely curtail the service which the Company can offer and may require the Company to vary the terms of the Contract.
