Unless otherwise confirmed in writing, nothing on the BLITZTEK website is to be taken as a representation of the source of origin, manufacture, or production of the products or any part of them.

PRICES
The prices are based on the cost to the Creditor, at the date on which the contract (Purchase order) between the Debtor and the Creditor is concluded, of carrying out its obligation under such contract (Purchase order), which includes, inter alia: –

– the cost to BLITZTEK of acquiring the material and the cost of labour and freight;
– the cost of purchasing foreign currency to pay for the importation of the material;
– import duties, government impost, levies, and other charges.

If, after the date of receipt of the contract (Purchase order) between the Creditor and the Debtor, of where stock needs to be specifically imported, and there is an unfavourable change in the relevant foreign currency exchange rate of more than 3% from the quoted price, resulting in an increased cost to the Creditor in supplying the goods and/or rendering the services in question, then BLITZTEK shall, on 7 (seven) days’ notice in writing to the Debtor, be entitled to adjust its price by the amount of such increase.

Any relaxation or indulgence which may be granted at any stage by the Creditor to the Debtor shall not be deemed to be a novation of these terms and conditions or a waiver of any of the Creditor’s rights.

Unless otherwise stipulated, all prices are exclusive of VAT and delivery costs to Debtor.

In the event of a price dispute on the TAX Invoice, in reference to the quoted price received by the Debtor from the Creditor, the Debtor needs to notify the Creditor in writing within 7 (Seven) days from the date of the receipt of the goods.

The Creditor shall at its sole and absolute discretion award sales adjustments, “cash payment” discounts, or any other incentives from time to time, but no such adjustments, discounts, or incentives shall be presumed at any stage or by reason of any course of dealings be deemed to be a term & condition of trade of the Creditor and the latter shall not be deemed to be bound thereto. Once any amount becomes overdue, any adjustment or discount granted shall be deemed not have been granted and the amount on which the adjustment or discount was granted shall be the amount due.

The Debtor agrees that in the event of any portion of the invoiced indebtedness being disputed, the Debtor will forthwith pay the undisputed portion of such indebtedness according to the agreed “terms & conditions of trade” as agreed and confirmed.

DELIVERY AND RISK
Upon delivery of goods ordered by or on behalf of the Debtor, the latter shall, by signature of duly authorized employee or courier of the Debtor-having been appended to the delivery documents (invoice or delivery note), be deemed to have received all the goods reflected within, in good order and condition.

Unless the Debtor reports in writing an incomplete or short delivery to the Creditor within 3 (three) days upon the receipt of collection or delivery, the Debtor shall bear the onus of proving the contrary in the event of any subsequent dispute in regard thereto.

The aforesaid signature of any party purporting to accept delivery of goods as aforesaid shall be conclusively deemed to be the signature of a duly authorized representative of the Debtor. The provisions of this clause shall not be construed as imposing on the Creditor any obligation to tender any proof whatsoever in addition to tendering in evidence any certificate or other document other than the documents mentioned in this clause.

Where the Debtor requests that delivery be suspended or delayed to a date later than that originally requested, the Creditor shall be entitled to charge the Debtor a reasonable fee for the storage of such goods. Delay in delivery does not constitute delay in payment.

The Creditor is entitled to withhold delivery of goods if the Debtor has not made payment of the amounts due in respect of previous orders.

If the Debtor requires the Creditor or any of its agents to effect deliveries on any private property; whether of the Debtor’s or any other property; the Debtor shall send the request to the Creditor in writing and shall assume full responsibility and waive any claims for damages and indemnifies the Creditor in respect of any claims for any damages in effecting any such deliveries.
