b) No Quotation
i. If there is no Quotation requested by or otherwise issued to the Customer but there is some communication otherwise between the Supplier and Customer as to how the Customer will be charged (for example, by the issuing of a schedule of hourly rates for labour and prices for the Goods) or upon the Customer providing the Supplier with a purchase order (or some other form of overt acceptance and instructions as to work to be completed) then a Contract for Goods and/or Services shall be formed between the Supplier and the Customer on terms of the agreed method of calculating price (or the purchase order, as the case may be) at the same time as an Order by the Customer with the Supplier created.
c) Any Contract formed shall be governed by these Terms and Conditions.

3. QUOTATIONS
a) The Customer may accept a Quotation within the period specified in a Quotation or as extended pursuant to this sub-clause. The Supplier may, at its option and absolute discretion, extend the period within which a Quotation may be accepted by notice in writing to the Customer. For the sake of clarity, if the period for acceptance of a Quotation (as specified in a Quotation or as extended pursuant to this sub-clause) lapses/expires, then acceptance of the relevant Quotation by the Customer does not create, and is incapable of creating, a Contract.
b) The Supplier may, at its absolute discretion, and without incurring any liability to the Customer whatsoever, revise or withdraw a Quotation at any time before written communication by the Customer of its acceptance of a Quotation is received by the Supplier.
c) Quotations are provided upon the Supplier’s interpretation of the information provided by the Customer. The value of a Quotation accounts only for the Goods and/or Services specified in that Quotation. If there are works or items missing from a Quotation but required by the Customer these shall be supplied at an additional cost to the Customer. It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that the contents of a Quotation are complete, accurate and fulfil the Customer’s required specifications.

4. CREDIT LIMIT
a) The Supplier is not obliged to supply Goods and/or Services to the Customer, the value of which exceeds the Credit Limit.
b) The Customer’s Credit Limit is subject to review at any time by the Supplier.
c) The Supplier may, on request in writing by the Customer, agree in writing to increase or decrease the Credit Limit. The balance of the Account at any time must not exceed the Credit Limit.

e) The Customer agrees to immediately pay the amounts charged to the Account for any Goods and/or Services supplied by the Supplier in excess of the Credit Limit, whether or not a demand for payment has been made by the Supplier.
f) Notwithstanding any prior acknowledgment by the Supplier of the price of Goods and/or Services (in a Quotation or otherwise), the Price specified for Goods and/or Services may at the Supplier’s option be subject to variation without notice to reflect the Supplier's prices and charges in effect at the time of delivery or provision to the Customer.
g) Any variations to the Price as a consequence of currency fluctuations, taxes, customs duty, increase in the costs of Goods and/or Services or other imposts shall be charged to the Customer's Account.
h) Despite any other clause in these Terms and Conditions, the Supplier may withdraw the Customer's Account at any time without notice or at its discretion alter the Customer’s Credit Limit for any reason (including to meet the Customer’s then buying needs). The Supplier will endeavour to notify the Customer of any alteration in the Credit Limit by notice to that effect in the following monthly account statement.
i) The Supplier takes no responsibility for any incorrect Orders by the Customer, whether in relation to quantity or specific items. Any Order submitted to the Supplier by the Customer will be charged to the Customer’s Account.

f) A statement setting out details of the amount owing and any other matters relating to the Account signed by an officer of the Supplier is sufficient evidence (in the absence of any manifest error) of the supply of Goods and/or Services by the Supplier to the Customer. This statement may be used in court proceedings.
g) The Supplier will be entitled to set off against any money owing to the Customer amounts owed to the Supplier by the Customer on any account whatsoever. However, the Customer shall not set off any amounts allegedly owing by the Supplier to it against any amount due by it to the Supplier.

l) The Customer must take delivery by receipt or collection of the Goods and/or Services whenever they are tendered for delivery. In the event that the Customer is unable to take delivery of the Goods and/or Services as arranged then the Supplier shall be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for redelivery and/or storage.
m) The Customer shall ensure that the Supplier has clear and free access to the Site at all times to enable them to undertake the Services.
