2.2 Where the Customer wishes to purchase the Products based on:
(a) Clear Prospects’ published price list (which can be found primarily on the Websites); or
(b) any Quotation that has been issued by Clear Prospects,
then the Customer shall first be required to raise an Order for the Products. The Customer shall also be required to include a precise Delivery Location in respect of the Products within its Order.
2.3 An Order can be raised in the following ways:
(a) via the Websites, by selecting the applicable Products, delivery method and then proceeding to and completing the checkout process;
(b) via email, by contacting sales@bmpm.trade; or
(c) via telephone, by contacting 01254 692432.
2.4 Where the Customer is raising its Order via the Websites, the Customer shall first be required to either create an account or otherwise proceed as a guest and, in doing so, the Customer warrants and represents that:
(a) it will provide complete and accurate information regarding its identity and whether it is creating the account or otherwise purchasing the Products as a Business or a Consumer; and
(b) where the Customer is a Business, it has the requisite authority on behalf of the Business to set up the account and enter into the Contract with Clear Prospects.
2.5 Where Clear Prospects has supplied a Quotation for the Products it may withdraw that Quotation at any time and at its absolute discretion. Any Quotation supplied shall be an invitation to treat and not an offer capable of acceptance by the Customer.
2.6 The Order constitutes an offer by the Customer to purchase the Products in accordance with these Terms and shall not incorporate any other terms and conditions beyond those set out in the Contract. The Customer is responsible for ensuring and warrants that the terms outlined in the relevant published price list and where applicable, the Quotation, the Order and any applicable Specification are complete and accurate.
2.7 Clear Prospects may reject the Order at its absolute discretion and for any reason whatsoever and the Order shall only be deemed to be accepted at the earlier of when Clear Prospects:
(a) confirms its acceptance of the Order; or
(b) Otherwise commences the performance of its obligations in accordance with the terms of the Order,
at which point the Contract shall come into existence.
2.8 Once the Contract comes into existence under clause 2.7, the Order may not be cancelled by the Customer except with the prior agreement of Clear Prospects in writing. Without prejudice to any further terms that may be agreed between the parties, any such agreement is on the basis that the Customer shall indemnify Clear Prospects in full against all Losses (which for the purpose of this clause shall include the cost of labour and materials, loss of profit, loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of business opportunity, loss of anticipated saving and any other indirect, special or consequential loss) incurred by Clear Prospects as a result of such cancellation.
2.9 Any samples, drawings or advertising produced by Clear Prospects and any descriptions or illustrations contained in the Promotional Materials are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Products referred to in them. They shall not form part of the Contract nor have any contractual force.
3. THE PRODUCTS
3.1 The Products are described in the Promotional Materials, as modified or supplemented by an applicable Specification provided by the Customer (if applicable).
3.2 To the extent that the Products are to be manufactured in accordance with a Specification supplied by the Customer, the Customer shall indemnify Clear Prospects, keep Clear Prospects indemnified and hold Clear Prospects harmless from and against all Losses (including any direct, indirect or consequential Losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal and other professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by Clear Prospects in connection with any claim made against Clear Prospects for actual or alleged infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights, whether or not registered, arising out of or in connection with Clear Prospects’ use of the Specification. This clause 3.2 shall survive termination of the Contract.
3.3 Clear Prospects reserves the right to amend the Specification if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements from time to time or to improve the Products where to do so would not have a material adverse effect on the Customer.
3.4 It is the Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure that any Specification that it provides is of a satisfactory quality, fit for the Customer’s intended purpose and that the Customer’s use of the Products will comply with Applicable Laws. The Customer acknowledges that Clear Prospects shall:
(a) only be responsible for supplying Products in accordance with the Specification as is displayed within any Quotation or otherwise in writing by Clear Prospects to the Customer; and
(b) not be in breach of the warranty contained in clause 5.1 where the Products differ in immaterial respects from their Specification (such as, for example, slight differences in colour and/or representation).

4. DELIVERY
4.1 Clear Prospects shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that each delivery of the Products is accompanied by a delivery note that shows the date of the Order, all relevant Customer and Clear Prospects reference numbers, the type and quantity of the Products, special care and maintenance instructions (if any) and, if the Products are being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Products remaining to be delivered.
4.2 Unless otherwise agreed, delivery shall be on the basis of EXW (Clear Prospects’ Premises) (Ex-Works Incoterms 2020).

Clear Prospects may deliver the Products in advance of the proposed delivery date.
4.6 If the Customer fails to take or accept delivery of the Products then, except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or Clear Prospects’ failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract:
(a) delivery of the Products shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the third Business Day after the day on which Clear Prospects notified the Customer that the Products were ready; and
(b) Clear Prospects shall store the Products until delivery takes place, and charge the Customer for all related costs and expenses (including insurance).

Where the Products are manufactured in accordance with a Specification supplied by the Customer, Clear Prospects will charge the Customer the full price stated within the Order in addition to any Losses that are incurred by Clear Prospects when disposing of such Products.
4.8 Clear Prospects may deliver the Products by instalments, and any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel that or any other instalment.
