9. Out Of Warranty Repair
9.1 Where a Buyer authorised the Seller to carry out repair work not covered under any warranty, the warranty shall apply only to the parts supplied at this time and not the full equipment or any other part of it.
10. Delivery of Goods
10.1 Delivery of Goods shall be made to the Buyer's address on the Delivery
Date. The Buyer shall make all
arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Goods whenever they are
tendered for delivery. Lambdapower is not liable for additional costs
incurred in collecting the goods from a distribution centre in the event
of failed delivery. Each order includes only 1 (one) carriage charge / delivery attempt, whether this charge be included in the item cost, or is charged for separately. Multiple attempts at delivery may become chargeable from the courier to the customer.
10.2 When the goods are despatched via carrier, postal service or parcel
company, the time quoted shall be for a nominal service and not
guaranteed within a time scale. No refund in full or part shall be offered
as a result of late delivery by the
carrier. If you have special delivery requirements you must notify Lambdapower by email or telephone. Every effort is made to ensure goods are delivered quickly.
10.3 International Retail Customers: International customers should reasonably expect an extra delay in receiving their goods, especially when the customer is outside the EU.
10.4 Non-delivery of goods - if goods fail to arrive within a reasonable timeframe, usually quoted as a thirty day period from the date of despatch, Lambdapower should be notified. Lambdapower will endeavour to either locate the parcel or reclaim the costs of the missing goods from the carrier concerned using their compensation procedures.
10.5 Refusal of delivery - if the customer refuses the delivery of any package for any reason including, but not limited to, the customer no longer requiring the part(s), the customer's refusal to settle import tariff / customs charges at the destination port (international customers) resulting in the package being returned by the courier to Lambdapower, any associated costs of re-despatching the package whether to the original address or to an alternative address supplied by the customer will become due.
10.6 No despatch is to be treated as if time is of the essence. Royal Mail premium services and courier premium services are subject to circumstances beyond our control, for example weather conditions, public holidays, industrial action.
10.7 Lambdapower may at its discretion alter the courier service used to fulfil any particular order, for example is the Royal Mail are striking, we may elect to use a courier service instead, even if Royal Mail delivery was asked for.
11. Acceptance of Goods
11.1 The Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted Goods upon delivery to the Buyer.
11.2 The Buyer shall advise Lambdapower within a reasonable timeframe from receipt of the Goods any discrepancies in quantity or specification from the Goods ordered, after which it shall be deemed the goods are as per.
11.3 The Seller will not consider any claims for shortage of delivery or damage in transit unless notice is given to the carrier and Seller within a reasonable timeframe of the receipt of goods. This is very important as our carriers have time limits imposed upon Lambdapower for such claims. If the package looks gravely damaged at delivery, you may sign for any items as 'contents not inspected'.
11.4 The Seller undertakes to deliver Mail Ordered goods to the delivery address, as opposed to an individual.
11.5 We do not offer a car-parts loan service. Any goods correctly supplied in good faith and then used will not be accepted for refund for such reasons as the part not being required anymore, or other system fault being found that renders the purchase of the original part unrequired.
11.6 As soon as the sealed bag is opened, we will deem the parts as used condition.
12. Title and risk
12.1 The Goods shall be at the Buyer's risk as from delivery. Refer to Clause 11.3 for advice on receiving carrier-delivered goods.
12.2 Property in the Goods shall not pass from the Seller to the buyer until payment is received for the Goods in full. For pre-payment (pro-forma) customers (generally industrial customers) the property passes once the pre-payment has been made. This may take several days depending on the method of payment used. We may exercise the option to despatch items whilst the payment is undergoing clearing.
12.3 In the event of fraudulent use of credit card details in such a manner that the legitimate cardholder is unaware, and has not authorised use of the card for purchases made from Lambdapower and parts delivered in good faith by Lambdapower, which results in a financial liability from Lambdapower to the credit card company concerned, all legal and incidental costs arising from attempts by Lambdapower to recover the monies owed by the original customer will become liable to that customer. All cases of fraud are reported to the police authorities and they may decide to prosecute independently of any decision reached by Lambdapower.
