Trading Terms and Conditions
WE ARE TRISKEL MARINE LIMITED (English Company Number 4972465) YOU are our CUSTOMER.
1. MAKING THE CONTRACT
1.1 If we send you a quotation then that quotation does not bind us to sell you the goods, and does not bind you to buy the
goods. We may withdraw the quotation at any time without notice. All quotations lapse after 14 days. If you wish to buy
goods you should sign the acceptance section of this quotation and agree to these Trading Terms and Conditions which
will constitute a formal order. Alternatively, you can send us an official purchase order.
1.2 Your order is an invitation to trade.
1.3 Our acknowledgement of order (or our delivery note if we do not send you an acknowledgement of order) is an offer to
sell only the goods identified in it, at those prices on these terms. As it is based on your order, it will be treated as
accepted and the contract made unless we receive your written cancellation within two working days.
1.4 All goods sold by us are sold on these terms and those on the acknowledgement of order (or our delivery note if we do
not send you an acknowledgement of order); only our directors are able to vary them and then only in writing. No other
terms (other than those on our acknowledgement of order) whether put forward by you or implied by statute shall
apply.

2.1 Contracts can be varied or cancelled only with our consent. This will be shown only by the issue of a revised
acknowledgement of order.

cancellation fee to compensate us for the expenses of disposal or restocking.
2.3 If we are dependent on a supplier who fails to supply a necessary component of the goods, we will tell you and (if we
are able to), offer you an alternative. If we cannot offer an alternative, or if we do not get your written approval to it
(within seven days) the contract will be void (but only for those goods) and a full refund paid for those goods.
