They will apply to all dealings between you and Octavian to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions (including any terms and conditions which you may purport to apply under any purchase order, confirmation of order or similar document).

4. Information about the Goods
4.1 All samples, drawings, descriptive matter, specifications and advertising we issue and any descriptions or illustrations contained in our catalogues or on our web site are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving you a general idea of the Goods. Although we make every effort to ensure that information about the Goods is correct, sometimes it may be incomplete, out of date or inaccurate. In particular, some details, such as colour, technical specification, functionality and dimensions, may not be a true representation and subject to change without notice.
4.2 If you wish to rely on a particular piece of information about any of the Goods then you must let us know in writing, providing full details as to the relevant piece of information. If Octavian consents to your request for reliance then we will confirm this to you in writing.

5. Quotations
5.1 All quotations and offers we make to you about the sale of the Goods are subject to these terms and conditions.
5.2 All quotations and offers we make to you are made on an "invitation to treat" basis only. This means that we are not obliged to sell the Goods to you on the terms stated in the quotation or offer until, and only to the extent that, those terms are agreed as part of a binding Agreement of Sale. Please see clause 6.2 for details of how a binding Agreement of Sale is made between you and us. Each offer or quotation we make shall lapse automatically 30 days after it is made.

6. Orders

6.1 If you wish to purchase any of the Goods you must provide us with a purchase order containing at least the description and number of Goods you wish to order.
6.2 If we accept an order from you, we will send you written confirmation of this as soon as reasonably possible, after receipt of your order or, if earlier, at the time we dispatch/make available for collection the ordered Goods to you. It is at the moment we accept your order that an agreement of sale is made between you and us for the sale of the Goods specified in your order (“Agreement of Sale”). Each Agreement of Sale is subject to these terms and conditions to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions (including any terms and conditions which you may purport to apply under any purchase order, confirmation of order or similar document).
6.3 All orders that you place and all confirmations of orders that we give are subject to the provisions of these terms and conditions. If there is any inconsistency between these terms and conditions and any order you place or confirmation we give then these terms and conditions shall prevail.
6.4 You may cancel or modify an order at any time before we accept it. Unless agreed otherwise in writing by Octavian and subject to you paying all our costs incurred up to the date of cancellation, you may not cancel or modify an order that we have accepted.

7. Delivery and collection of the Goods
7.1 As soon as reasonably possible after acceptance of your order we will provide you with details regarding your order, including for example, details of when you order will be dispatched.
7.2 If the Goods you order are in stock then we aim to despatch the Goods to you or make them available for collection within five Business Days after we receive your order or, if later, by the date set out in your order.
7.3 If the Goods you order are not in stock then we will despatch the Goods or make them available for collection once they are in stock.
7.4 We recognise that you may suggest collection/delivery dates in your orders for the Goods. We will try to meet your suggested collection/delivery dates; but we cannot, and do not, guarantee to make the Goods available for collection or to deliver the Goods by any particular date. We accept no liability for any loss or damage you may suffer as a result of our failure to make the Goods available for collection or to deliver the Goods on or by a particular date.
7.5 If you notify us that you want to collect the ordered Goods from our offices then we will let you know when the Goods are ready for collection and you must collect the Goods within seven days of the date on which we notify you that the Goods are ready for collection. We may charge you an administration fee for the collection of the Goods by you. If you fail to collect the Goods within seven days then we may charge you and you will be liable to pay us for all costs we incur in continuing to keep the Goods, in addition we may sell the Goods to another customer without notice to you.
7.6 If you notify us that you want us to deliver the ordered Goods then we will deliver the Goods to the delivery address you specify (which may be the address of the end customer to whom you are reselling the Goods). We may charge you for delivery of the Goods to their end destination.
7.7 You must make all arrangements necessary for you or your end customer to take delivery of the Goods when we deliver them, including providing labour and suitable unloading equipment for the unloading of the delivered Goods. If you or your end customer do not accept delivery of Goods or we are unable to deliver or are delayed in delivering the Goods because of your or your end customer's actions or omissions then we may charge you and you will be liable to pay us for all costs we incur as a result.
7.8 If you are an existing customer and you do not notify us whether the ordered Goods are to be collected or delivered then we may make them available for collection or deliver them to your usual delivery address (as applicable) based upon our previous dealings with you. Otherwise, if you are a new customer, we will contact you to confirm your delivery or collection requirements.
7.9 We may supply the Goods either all on one date or by separate batches on different dates from time to time. Either you or we can, by notice, cancel an Agreement of Sale if we are unable to supply the Goods within 120 days of the date the Agreement of Sale is made and it has not been otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. If this happens neither party can make any claim against the other. If an Agreement of Sale is cancelled and some of the ordered Goods have been supplied then the cancellation will only apply to the Goods that have not been supplied (which in this context does not include the Goods that have been dispatched and are in transit at the time of cancellation).
7.10 If you are collecting the ordered Goods from our offices then risk of loss of or damage to the Goods passes to you on collection of the Goods.
7.11 If we are delivering the ordered Goods to you or your end customer then risk of loss of or damage to the Goods passes to you on delivery of the Goods. Octavian accepts no liability for loss or damage caused to the Goods by the carrier.
