All orders are subject to availability and confirmation by Tektraders. Cancellation of orders by the Customer following receipt of such confirmation is not possible as many orders will be forwarded for despatch on the same day the order is placed.
We do not warrant the suitability of goods for a particular purpose. Specifications are intended as a guideline only and you should check specifications and suitability with manufacturers before ordering.
- Delivery
Any time or date stated for the delivery of Products is an estimate only. Tektraders makes every effort to supply Products on time but does not accept liability for failure to deliver within the stated time.
Tektraders does not accept liability for shortages or damage to deliveries unless the Customer notifies us in writing within three working days of receipt.
Delivery of the Products is deemed to take place when the Products are delivered to the Customer’s nominated address, whereupon the risks of loss, breakage and all damage shall pass to the Customer.
If the Customer does not accept delivery, Tektraders may at its option (a) store and insure the Products at the Customer’s expense and risk or (b) sell the Products at the best price reasonably obtainable and (after deducting reasonable storage insurance and selling costs) pay to the Customer any excess over the sale price or charge the Customer for any shortfall.
- Prices
Products, together with VAT, are invoiced at the price prevailing at time of order.
All quoted or listed prices are based on the cost to Tektraders of supplying the Products to the Customer. If before delivery of the Products there occurs any increase in any way of such costs in respect of Products which have not yet been delivered, the price payable may be subject to amendment without notice and at Tektraders’s discretion.
- Errors & Omissions
While we try and ensure that all prices on our website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of goods you have ordered we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. If you cancel and you have already paid for the goods, you will receive a full refund.
- Payment
Payment is due 30 days from the date of the invoice, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
If payment is not made on time, Tektraders may charge interest daily on the outstanding balance at 5% above HSBC Bank base lending rate.
Title in the goods does not pass to the Customer until payment is received in full by Tektraders.
Until such time as the title in the Products passes to the Customer, the Customer shall hold the Products as Tektraders’s fiduciary agent and bailee, and shall keep the Products properly stored, protected and insured and identified as Tektraders’s property.
Until such time as the title in the Products passes to the Customer (and provided the Products are still in existence and have not been resold), Tektraders shall be entitled at any time to require the Products to be delivered to Tektraders and, if the Customer fails to do so forthwith, to enter upon any premises of the Customer or any third party where the Products are stored and repossess the Products.

On termination of the Customer’s right to use the Products the Customer will immediately hold the Products to the order of Tektraders

Unless otherwise agreed, the Products are supplied in accordance with the manufacturer’s standard specifications as these may be improved, substituted or modified. Tektraders reserves the right to increase its quoted or listed price, or to charge accordingly in respect of any orders accepted for Products of non-standard specifications.
- Proprietary Rights in Software Products
The Customer hereby acknowledges that it is its sole responsibility to comply with any terms and conditions of any licence attaching to Third Party Software supplied and delivered by Tektraders.
