TERMS & CONDITIONS<br />
PRICES<br />
Goods will be invoiced at prices ruling at the date of despatch. All prices are subject to the addition of Value Added Tax at the rate<br />
ruling on the date of the invoice. From time to time we may have to alter prices at short notice. For the Republic of Ireland this could be<br />
due to currency fluctuations. Discounts have already been taken for the education boards, therefore all prices are nett.<br />
MINIMUM ORDER & CARRIAGE<br />
All products requested will be delivered by Creative Activity free unless the order is under £100.00 / €150.00 + VAT in which case a<br />
service charge of £5.95 /€7.95 + VAT will apply.<br />
Carriage to UK Mainland and other areas will be quoted at time of order.<br />
COLLECTION OF GOODS<br />
Goods collected should be supported by an official order form and or some means of identification. Please give as much notice as<br />
possible to avoid delay.<br />
PACKING<br />
Wherever possible non-returnable free packing is used but where cases are necessary to ensure safe transit a normal charge, plus VAT<br />
is made for them. The cost of returning these empties would greatly exceed the amount on the invoices so they are marked “nonreturnable”.<br />
SPECIAL CONSIGNMENT<br />
We do not accept responsibility for the loss or damage when goods are consigned to a third party.<br />
SPECIAL ORDERS<br />
Orders for products not included in the Catalogue or Price List will be accepted only on receipt of an official purchase order and are<br />
subject to the following conditions:<br />
(a) Special products correctly supplied against the purchase order are non returnable.<br />
(b) Delivery items quoted for special products ordered must be in Manufacturer’s pack quantity.<br />
RETURNS<br />
Goods correctly supplied to order are not returnable except by previous agreement and these must be consigned carriage paid to<br />
our warehouse within 21 days in their original packing. A handling charge of up to 25% may be incurred. If they are returned faulty<br />
they will only be credited if the manufacturer accepts that the product has not been misused, overloaded, incorrectly installed or<br />
incorrectly stored. In certain circumstances a faulty product evaluation form will need to be completed. Once a credit is received from<br />
the manufacturer we will in turn credit your account. If however the manufacturer confirms that goods were not faulty no credit will<br />
be issued.<br />
CREDIT NOTES FOR RETURNED GOODS CANNOT BE ISSUED UNLESS OUR INVOICE NUMBER IS QUOTED ON ALL CORRESPONDENCE<br />

RETENTION OF TITLE/ALL MONIES CLAUSE<br />
(a) The risk of goods shall pass immediately they are delivered into the physical custody of a buyer or his agents, or otherwise to this<br />
order. We shall retain sole and absolute property in any goods as Legal or Beneficial owner until the seller has received full payment for<br />
all sums then owed on any account by the Buyer to the Seller and until that time a buyer shall be in possession of the Goods as bailee<br />
for us and shall be deemed to have so acknowledged. Until the full invoice price has been paid a buyer shall store the goods separately<br />
from other goods and in a manner which makes them readily identifiable as goods delivered by us.<br />
(b) A buyers right to possession of any goods for which the full invoice price has not been paid shall cease if being an individual, he<br />
commits an available act of bankruptcy or, being a company, a receiver becomes entitled to present a petition for its winding up or it<br />
is resolved that it would be wound up. We shall be entitled in these events to enter at any time and with or without vehicles upon any<br />
premises of buyer at which we reasonably believe such goods to be stored and to repossess them.<br />
(c) A buyer shall be at liberty in the ordinary course of business to process and make products from and as our agent, to sell goods<br />
for which the invoice price has been paid. The process of any such sales shall be for our account and shall be held in trust for us to the<br />
extent of the invoice price of the goods.<br />
PAYMENTS<br />
Cheques should be made payable to Creative Activity and crossed A/C Payee only not negotiable. Each payment remains the<br />
responsibility of the buyer until such time it is actually received and acknowledged by the seller. Unless otherwise agreed in writing,<br />
payment will be made by the buyer by the end of the month following the month of invoice.<br />
LATE PAYMENTS<br />
Deliveries made under the contract shall be deemed to have been made in respect of separate sales of each weight, description or<br />
quality of goods, which each such delivery may comprise. Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing payment for each delivery<br />
is due on the date thereof and payment of that date or upon the date(s) otherwise so agreed shall be a condition precedent to any<br />
further deliveries. The failure of a buyer to pay our invoice in full on the due date shall entitle us to charge interest from the due date<br />
at 5% above Bank of Ireland Ltd base rate on the amount of time to time outstanding. Such interests to be compounded at quarterly<br />
intervals and to be payable both before as well as after any judgement, provided that we shall not be entitled to recover interest<br />
under an invoice where negotiable instrument which has been tendered in payment also carries interest. In the event of any loss or<br />
damage or delays to any Goods delivered at our risk to a buyer or to his agent or otherwise to his order notice to the same shall at the<br />
same time take all necessary steps to notify the carrier in writing of any such loss damage or delay and shall in all cases where possible<br />
enter a not of the same upon the carrier receipt. If by reason of the failure of the buyer to give such notice as provided above we are<br />
precluded from making a recovery from the carrier in respect of the loss or damage or delay complained of then we shall be liable to<br />
pay for the goods as though no such damage or delays had occurred.<br />
RECOVERY OF MONIES<br />
If after reasonable attempts we have failed to recover monies due to us, slow accounts will be passed to our collection agents who will<br />
have the authority to collect monies on our behalf. If this cause of action is implemented the cost of this service will be added to the<br />
accrued account.<br />

circumstances will the seller be liable for loss or damage of any kind whatsoever caused directly or indirectly by the delay in the<br />
delivery of goods.<br />
