Terms & Conditions

1. Introduction

We are Dean Packaging Limited, and we are supplying goods to you. We are registered in Wales with company number 4036546 and our registered office is Unit 6 & 7 Towngate Industrial Park, Ty Coch Way, Cwmbran, Monmouthshire NP44 7HE.

We have issued a written acknowledge of our agreement to make that supply. That acknowledgement incorporates these supply conditions (except where they are specifically amended in the acknowledgement) and

a specification of the goods and any incidental service: if not, our standard specification will apply
the price agreed
the delivery or collection details.

That is the whole of our agreement for this supply and supersedes any previous agreement we may have had in relation to it. No variation to the agreement is valid unless it is in writing and is either signed or specifically agreed to in writing by our authorised representative.

We are responsible for making the supply to you but we may arrange to do so through agents or subcontractors.

You must not assign the benefit of the agreement without our prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

2. Cancellation and Variation

You may cancel your order at any time before the supply is made. If you so, you are to pay us on demand a reasonable cancellation charge which takes into account all work we have done under the agreement, all cost we have incurred and any costs we are committed to pay, and our loss of profit.

If you ask us to vary your order and agree with us an appropriate variation to the price and to the time scale for delivery, we agree to make the supply in accordance with those variations. We may vary the price by an amount sufficient to cover any significant increase in the cost of materials or other costs we incur to fulfil your order. We may also substitute suitable alternative materials without notice to you unless such substitution will result in delay in a fulfilling your order. If we are to fulfil your order within a reasonable time due to materials being unavailable for reasons beyond our reasonable control, we may cancel the order with no further obligation to you.

applicable VAT and any other tax imposed on the supply

4. Payment

We will invoice you once we have despatched the goods. Our terms are nett 30 days following month end of invoice. Our agreement is that if any remaining stock is not taken within a period of 3 months then we automatically invoice you for the goods. If you have a claim against us you must pay by the due date amount not in dispute.

We are not obliged to supply any goods or services to you while any payment problem is overdue on this or any other agreement we have with you.
