Oxygen is a prescribable drug and we generally ask you to confirm your prescription to help us provide the right oxygen solution for your needs. Whilst we don’t require to see any evidence of your prescription nor is the sale of oxygen concentrators restricted in the case that you may not be prescribed at present, we assume that you have sought appropriate medical advice from a healthcare professional prior to purchasing any medical oxygen generating products. By agreeing to the appending terms and conditions of sale, you also agree to this “sale of oxygen concentrators” disclaimer whereby you agree to take full responsibility for the use of any oxygen equipment we provide, and fully indemnify Intermedical (UK) Limited against any liability as per condition 13 of our terms and conditions should you use the product(s) against the advice of the Healthcare professional and/or your prescription.

1. ACCEPTANCE OF ORDERS

We are Intermedical (UK) Limited (The Company), a company registered in England and Wales under registration number 3456073 whose registered office is at 2 Exeter House, Beaufort Court, Sir Thomas Longley Road, Rochester, Kent, ME2 4FE. No other terms and conditions shall apply.
1.2 Each order received by the Company will be deemed to be an offer by the customer to purchase goods under these terms and conditions. A Contract will not exist until an order is accepted by the Company, either verbally or in writing. The Company reserves the right to refuse an order without providing a reason.
1.3 All contracts relating to the supply of goods by the Company are subject to these terms and conditions any variation to which must be previously agreed by the Company and in writing.

2. CUSTOMER’S AUTHORITY
2.1 Customers entering into a contract with the Company expressly warrant that they are authorised to accept these Terms and Conditions, not only for themselves but also as agents for and on behalf of all other persons for whom they may be acting and who may acquire an interest in the goods.

3. DETAILS AND SPECIFICATIONS
3.1 Details of the products offered for sale are as appear in the advertising and promotional literature provided by the Company or as appears in the Company website. The Company reserves the right to alter the specification of any product or to cease to offer any product without explanation or notification.

4. PRICES
4.1 The price for the goods offered will be as appearing on Company price lists, advertising, website or special quotation and the Company reserves the right, pre contract, to change these without notice. The cost of packaging, carriage and any applicable taxes and duties will be added to the price where relevant. VAT will be added to UK orders at the standards rate. The Company will provide exemption declarations to those customers claiming relief from payment of VAT.

5. PAYMENT
5.1 Our terms of payment are payment with order unless account facilities have been agreed by the Company, in which case payment is to be received thirty days from date of invoice unless otherwise agreed in writing. The Company reserves the right to charge interest on overdue accounts according to the provisions of the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (interest) Act 1998. The Company will suspend supply of goods against subsequent orders until the account is in accordance with agreed payment terms.
5.2 All payments and transactions are in UK pounds sterling only unless stated.

6. CANCELLATION OF ORDERS
6.1 The Company will make every effort to meet individual customer requirements but will not be under any obligation to accept cancellation or amendment of an order or any part of an order. If cancellation or amendment of an order is agreed by the Company, it is on the understanding that a cancellation or amendment charge may be applied. This will depend upon the individual circumstances of the case.

7. DELIVERY AND CARRIAGE COSTS
7.1 All orders will be dispatched by the most appropriate route to be decided by the Company. If a customer requests a special delivery arrangement, this will be for the account of the customer and will be the entire cost of the delivery regardless of the order size or value of the order.
7.2 Delivery will be to the address advised to the Company and will be to the front door / reception desk on the ground floor. Any difficult delivery situations must be advised to the Company at the time of placement of the order and may attract additional delivery charges.
7.3 The Company will endeavour to deliver goods according to a delivery lead time advised at placement of the order, and, if no time has been agreed, within a reasonable time. Time of delivery will not be deemed to be of the essence. If, despite it’s best endeavours, the Company is unable for any reason to fulfil any advised delivery date, the Company will not be in breach of the contract, nor, (for the avoidance of any doubt), will the Company have any liability to the customer for any direct or indirect or consequential loss
howsoever caused, (including as a result of negligence) by any delay or failure in delivery. Any delay in delivery will not entitle the customer to cancel any order and receive a refund of any monies paid unless the customer has notified the Company that delivery of the goods is required within 14 days of the notification and the company has not fulfilled delivery within that period. The customer shall have no other remedy in respect of late delivery.

8. RENTENTION OF TITLE
8.1 All goods supplied by the Company to the customer shall remain the property of the Company until such time as the Company has received payment in full for the goods and of all other monies due to the Company from the customer. After the goods have been delivered to and received by the customer, or his nominated sub purchaser, risk shall pass to the customer who shall insure the goods against loss or damage until such time as full payment has been received.
8.2 Until such time as title has passed to the customer in accordance with the foregoing provision, the Company shall be at any time entitled to repossess the goods with or without notice and the Company or it’s employees or agents shall have the right at any time to enter upon the premises of the customer for the purpose of effecting such repossession.

9. FORCE MAJEURE
9.1 The Company will not be liable to the customer for any failure or delay in delivery of the goods if it is due to any event beyond the reasonable control of the Company. The Company will be entitled to a reasonable extension of time for performing such obligations and shall not be liable for any loss or damage occasioned to the customer thereby.
