1. Acceptance of Terms and Conditions; Changes

By accepting an Order (as defined in Section 2), you acknowledge that (a) you agree to these Terms and Conditions (the “Conditions”) and (b) we have the right to revise and amend these Conditions without prior notice. We will notify you of any changes to these Terms and Conditions on this website (“Site”). You agree to refer back to the Terms and Conditions regularly. Your acceptance of any Order following our posting of any such changes shall mean that you accept such changes.

2. Definitions

In these Conditions the “Company” means the Imagination company identified in the Order, the “Supplier” means the person or company to whom the Order is addressed, and the Company and the Supplier shall each be a “Party”, and together the “Parties”. If so specified in an Order, Supplier agrees to sell and deliver to Company, Company authorised subcontractors(s), and affiliates of Company. Company will identify all authorised sub-contractors to Supplier in writing. The Conditions stated herein shall be binding on all subcontractor(s) and/or Company purchasing locations. Except where the context specifies otherwise, for all purchases made by Company’s authorised subcontractor(s) or affiliate(s), for the purposes of such purchase the term “Company” shall refer to such Company authorised subcontractor(s) or affiliate(s). All invoices arising out of sales by Supplier to any authorised subcontractor(s) or affiliate(s) shall be submitted to such subcontractor(s) or affiliate(s) for payment. Company assumes no responsibility for the credit worthiness nor assumes any liability for any debt incurred by any subcontractor(s) or affiliate(s) for any Goods ordered subsequent to this Agreement. The “Goods” shall mean the goods and/or services (including deliverables resulting from services) specified in the Order, as the context requires. Where the Order is for the provision of services, reference to “delivery of” or “supply of” the Goods or similar shall be read, where the Contract (as defined below) permits, as meaning performance and/or supply of the services which the Supplier is required to provide in accordance with the Order. The “Order” means the Company’s order to the Supplier in respect of the Goods either printed overleaf, or, otherwise provided separately. “Background IPR” means any intellectual property rights (other than Contract IPR, as defined below) belonging to either Party before the start of the Contract or not created in the course of or in connection with the Contract. “Contract IPR” means all intellectual property rights that arise or are obtained or developed by either Party, or by a third party on behalf of either Party, in respect of the Goods in the course of or in connection with the Contract. The Order constitutes an offer by the Company to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Conditions. The Order shall be deemed to be accepted by the Supplier on the earlier of (i) the Supplier issuing a written acceptance of the Order to the Company; (ii) the Supplier doing any act consistent with fulfilling the Order, at which point a contract shall come into existence in accordance with this Condition; or (iii) the Order not being rejected by Supplier within five (5) business days of receipt. Where the Supplier has entered into a Master Agreement with The Imagination Group Limited for the supply of services, then acceptance by the Supplier of the Order shall create a Services Contract (in accordance with, and as defined by, the Master Agreement) and the remainder of these Conditions shall not apply. Where there is no Master Agreement, acceptance by the Supplier of the Order shall create a contract (the “Contract”) for the purchase of the Goods by the Company from the Supplier which shall incorporate the Order and any terms included within together with any specifications, scope of works, drawings, these Conditions and all terms and conditions implied by law.

3. Conditions

These Conditions shall be incorporated into the Contract to the exclusion of any terms or conditions stipulated or referred to by the Supplier, and save for any confidentiality agreement entered into between the parties (provided its terms are not less protective than those set out in these Conditions), the Contract shall constitute the entire agreement between the Parties and supersede and extinguish all previous agreements existing between them, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter. These Conditions shall be subject to such further ‘special conditions’ as may be prescribed in writing by the Company. In the event of any conflict, or apparent conflict, between the ‘special conditions’ and these Conditions, the “special conditions” shall prevail. No other terms, whether contained in a bid, estimate, acknowledgement, confirmation or invoice given by Supplier, shall in any way modify or supersede any of the terms of this Order or be binding on Company, and Company expressly rejects all such other terms which have not been accepted in a writing signed by Company’s authorised representative. The use of Supplier’s or Company’s forms (other than an Order) is for convenience only and will have no effect with respect to this Order. Company shall have no obligation to purchase Goods (or services) exclusively from Supplier.

4. Fees

Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties in writing, the price for the Goods shall be as set out in the Order (the “Fees”) and such Fees shall include, as applicable, insurance, all costs and expenses incurred by the Supplier in connection with the supply of the Goods, delivery (either to the Company’s address as shown on the Order, or as otherwise specified by the Company), and the cost of packaging (see Condition 5 below). All prices quoted are fixed. It is not acceptable for the Supplier to quote a variable price or to stipulate prices at the date of delivery or otherwise. Unless stated otherwise in the Order, all prices quoted shall be exclusive of value added tax, sales tax and/or any other applicable duty or tax chargeable from time to time on the supply of the Goods (‘Taxes”).

5. Packaging

All Goods must be properly packaged to survive transit to the Company’s stipulated address and to resist pilferage, corrosion, contamination, damage and deterioration or similar. All Goods shall be clearly and legibly labelled and addressed.

6. Payment Terms

The Supplier shall invoice the Company on, or at any time following, completion, or delivery of the Goods to the Company. Each invoice shall include any such supporting information required by the Company in order to verify the Goods, including, but not limited to the Order and/or the job number. Where any Taxes are chargeable on the Goods, the Supplier shall include details of such additional amounts to be paid on the relevant invoice as a net extra charge. Provided that the Company accepts the Goods (in accordance with Condition 7 below), the Company shall pay a correct and valid invoice in accordance with these Conditions within sixty (60) days after the date the invoice was received by the Company, unless stated otherwise in the Order. All invoices and payments shall be in the currency stated in the Order. In no event shall the Supplier invoice the Company for any amounts due hereunder later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after completion or delivery of the Goods. If a Party fails to make any payment due to 2 the other Party under the Contract then the other Party may charge the defaulting Party interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 3% per annum above the base lending rate of the Bank of England, as published from time to time. Such interest shall accrue daily from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment.

7. Delivery

The Supplier will deliver (and, where applicable, unload) the Goods at the stipulated address no later than the date for delivery stated in the Order, and within reasonable business hours (or at such time and place as may otherwise be agreed between the Parties). Time shall be of the essence of the Contract. The Company shall not be deemed to have accepted any Goods until it has had a reasonable time to inspect and/or review them following completion or delivery. Following such inspection or review by the Company, the Company may either, accept the Goods, or, if the Company determines that the Goods do not conform with the requirements of the Contract, reject the Goods. Upon notice, Company may alternatively make inspection visit(s) at the site where the Goods are being designed or manufactured or services performed. Upon request, Supplier shall provide Company with written or verbal reports relating to the status of its performance hereunder. Neither inspection, testing, delivery nor payment for the Goods or services shall constitute acceptance thereof. If the Supplier delivers more or less than the quantity of Goods ordered, and the Company accepts the delivery, the Supplier shall make a pro rata adjustment to the price for the Goods on the invoice. If the Company rejects the Goods or the Supplier fails to deliver the Goods by the applicable date, the Company shall be entitled to, as applicable:

(i) require the Supplier to return, repair or replace the Goods, at its sole risk and expense;

(ii) refund all Fees, expenses, payments, deposits, charges or similar already paid by the Company to the Supplier and waive any further payments of Fees relating to such rejected Goods;

(iii) recover from the Supplier any costs incurred by the Company in obtaining substitute goods and/or services from a third party; and/or

(iv) claim damages for any additional costs, loss or expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Supplier’s failure to deliver the Goods in accordance with these Conditions.

8. Force Majeure

In these Conditions “Force Majeure” shall mean all unforeseeable and unavoidable events beyond the reasonable control of the Supplier, which prevent or delay, in whole or in part, the carrying out of its obligations (e. g. fire, flood, accidents, terrorism, war, riots, insurrection, civil disturbance, acts of government, governmental regulations) but excluding transportation difficulties experienced only by the Supplier and excluding strike, lock out or other labour disputes involving the Supplier’s workforce or the workforce of one of the Supplier’s subcontractors or own suppliers. If, by some reason of Force Majeure, delivery is delayed for any period (the “Force Majeure Period”), then the Supplier shall, promptly, and in any event, within seven (7) days of the occurrence of a Force majeure, give written notice to the Company of the cause, and the Company may then (but without prejudice to its other rights) allow such extra time for delivery as is reasonable in the Company’s opinion in the circumstances. If the Force Majeure Period exceeds fourteen (14) days, the Company shall have the option, by written notice to the Supplier, to terminate the Order forthwith, in whole or in part, and shall have no liability for the whole or part so terminated. If any Fees have been paid by the Company to the Supplier prior to the Force Majeure for Goods not delivered, such Fees shall be reimbursed to the Company in full within fourteen (14) days of cancellation of the Order by the Company.
