1. Basis of contract

2.1  The Order constitutes an offer by the Customer to purchase Products and/or Services in accordance with these Conditions.

2.2  The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when Proprotein issues written acceptance of the Order or, if earlier, when the Products and/or Services are delivered by Proprotein, at which point and on which date the Contract shall come into existence.

2.3  Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter or advertising issued by Proprotein and any descriptions of the Products or illustrations or descriptions of the Services contained in Proprotein's catalogues or brochures are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Products and/or Services described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.

2.4  These Conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing. For the avoidance of doubt, these Conditions shall not be overridden or varied or added to except by agreement in writing between the Customer and a representative of Proprotein having the express written authority to do so. No other terms and conditions shall apply to the supply by Proprotein of the Products and/or Services and any other such terms and/or conditions are hereby rejected and excluded. Signature on behalf of Proprotein of any of the Customer’s order forms, delivery dockets or other standard documentation shall not override these Conditions.

2.5  Any quotation given by Proprotein (a) shall not constitute an offer, and is only valid for a period of 30 Business Days from its date of issue and (b) is subject to withdrawal by Proprotein at any time before Proprotein’s acceptance of any Order based upon it.

2.6  All of these Conditions shall apply to the supply of both Products and Services except where application to one or the other is specified.

1. Products

3.1  The Products are described in the Product Specification.

3.2  Proprotein reserves the right to amend the Product Specification if required by any applicable statutory or

regulatory requirement, and Proprotein shall notify the Customer in any such event.

1. Delivery of Products

4.1  Proprotein shall ensure that:

(a)  each delivery of the Products is accompanied by a delivery note which shows the date of the

Order, all relevant Customer and Proprotein reference numbers, and the type and quantity of the

Products (including the code number of the Products, where applicable); and

(b)  it states clearly on the delivery note any requirement for the Customer to return any packaging

material (such as, for example, pallets, steel cages (and any variations thereof), glass bottles and plastic crates) to Proprotein. The Customer shall make any such packaging materials available for collection at such times as Proprotein shall reasonably request and shall not reuse such packaging materials. Returns of packaging materials shall be at Proprotein's expense except that Proprotein reserves the right to charge the Customer for packaging materials which are not returned within the time specified by Proprotein or which have been returned but are not in a fit state or condition for reuse by Proprotein.

4.2  Proprotein shall deliver the Products to the location set out in the Order or such other location as the parties may agree which may include delivery to a carrier (Delivery Location).

4.3  Delivery of the Products shall be completed on the completion of the making available, unloading or loading of the Products at the Delivery Location in accordance with the Incoterms® agreed for the Order concerned.

(a)  the containers and the seal numbers and quantities correspond with those shown on the delivery note;

(b)  the seals are intact, and it shall notify Proprotein without delay of any discrepancy or broken seal; and

(c)  the relevant officials from HM Revenue & Customs or other relevant customs authority (if

outside the UK) are present if any action is taken.

4.5  Any dates quoted for delivery of the Products are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the

essence.

4.6  If Proprotein fails to deliver the Products, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the

Customer in obtaining replacement products of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Products. Proprotein shall have no liability for any failure or delay in delivery of Products to the extent caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer's failure to provide Proprotein with adequate delivery instructions or other relevant instructions related to supply of the Products.

4.7  If 10 Business Days after Proprotein notified the Customer that Products were ready for collection or delivery the Customer has not taken or accepted delivery of them, Proprotein may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Products and charge the Customer for any reasonable storage and selling costs incurred.

4.8  Proprotein may deliver the Products by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment.

4.9  The Customer is responsible for obtaining, at its own cost, such import licences and other consents in relation to the Products as are required from time to time and, if required by Proprotein, the Customer shall make those licences and consents available to Proprotein prior to the relevant shipment.

1. Quality of Products

5.1  Proprotein warrants that on delivery the Products shall conform in all material respects with the applicable Product Specification.

5.2  Subject to clause 5.3, Proprotein shall, at its option, repair or replace any defective Products or refund the price of any defective Products in full if:

(a) the Customer gives notice in writing within a reasonable time of discovery (but no later than 5 days from discovery) that some or all of the Products do not comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1 or of whole or partial non-delivery or shortages;

(b) Proprotein is given a reasonable opportunity of examining any allegedly defective Products; and

(c) the Customer (if asked to do so by Proprotein) returns such Products to Proprotein's place of business.

5.3  Proprotein shall not be liable for the Products' failure to comply with the warranty in clause 5.1 if:
 

(a) the Customer makes any further use of such Products after giving a notice in accordance with clause 5.2;

(b) the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow Proprotein's oral or written instructions as to the storage, handling or use of the Products or (if there are none) good trade practice;

(c) the defect arises as a result of Proprotein following any drawing, design or specification supplied by the Customer;

(d) the defect arises as a result of Proprotein using any ingredients, packaging or other raw materials supplied by the Customer or sourced from a third party specified by the Customer for use by Proprotein in the manufacture or processing of the Products (Customer Supplied Materials);

(e) the Customer alters or repairs such Products without the written consent of Proprotein;

(f) the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal storage or working conditions; or

(g) the Products differ from their description or the Product Specification as a result of changes made to ensure they comply with applicable statutory or regulatory standards.

5.4  These Conditions shall apply to any repaired or replacement Products supplied by Proprotein.

5.5  The Customer must notify Proprotein in writing of any seizures of Products for whatever reason and deliver full particulars to Proprotein within 5 Business Days of the date of the seizure supported by certificates signed by a recognised public health official or official of a recognised regulatory body giving all relevant details including any time-limits or other conditions and the reason for any seizure.

5.6  No warranty is given by Proprotein and Proprotein shall have no liability in respect of the following:

(a)  where the Products are packaged under the Customer’s own label or in accordance with the instructions of the Customer, that the information on the packaging of the Products (for example the integration of technical data such as nutritional information for consumers and the identification of ingredients) complies with applicable laws in the respective country of sale;

(b)  that the Products may lawfully be supplied or offered for sale outside the country of delivery unless supply for a particular country is expressly stated in the Product Specification; or

(c)  that the Products are suitable for mixing, blending, compounding with or incorporating into other goods or products, unless expressly stated in the Product Specification.

5.7  The Customer must observe (including before title to the Products passes) storage, handling and transportation conditions suitable for the Products and proper stock rotation in the case of all Products and must not release Products for sale or distribution where, because of their age or having regard to the time normally taken in the progress of Products along the distribution chain, they could not reasonably be expected to reach the ultimate consumer in a fresh and wholesome state and before the end of their recommended shelf life.

5.8  The Customer must not obscure, remove, conceal or otherwise interfere with any markings or other indication of source or origin on any Products or their labelling or packaging.

1. Title and risk

6.1  The risk in the Products shall pass to the Customer on completion of delivery to the Delivery Location.

6.2  Legal and beneficial title to the Products shall not pass to the Customer until the earlier of:

1. (a)  Proprotein receives payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Products, in which case title to the Products shall pass at the time of payment of all such sums; and
2. (b)  the Customer resells the Products, in which case title to the Products shall pass to the Customer at the time specified in clause 6.4.

6.3  Until title to the Products has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall:
(a) hold the Products as Proprotein’s fiduciary agent and bailee;
(b) not pledge or in any way charge by way of security the Products;
(c) store the Products separately from all other products held by the Customer so that they remain

readily identifiable as Proprotein's property;
(d) not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Products; (e) maintain the Products in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their

full price on Proprotein's behalf from the date of delivery;
(f) notify Proprotein immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 17.2(b) or

clause 17.2(c); and
(g) give Proprotein such information relating to the Products as Proprotein may require from time to time.

6.4  Subject to clause 6.5, the Customer may resell or use the Products in the ordinary course of its business (but not otherwise) before Proprotein receives payment for the Products. However, if the Customer resells the Products before that time:

(a) it does so as principal and not as Proprotein’s agent; and
(b) title to the Products shall pass from Proprotein to the Customer immediately before the time at which resale by the Customer occurs.

6.5  If before title to the Products passes to the Customer the Customer becomes subject to any of the events

listed in clause 17.2(b) or clause 17.2(c), then, without limiting any other right or remedy Proprotein may have:

(a)  the Customer's right to resell Products or use them in the ordinary course of its business ceases immediately; and

(b)  Proprotein may at any time:

(i) require the Customer to deliver up all Products in its possession which have not been resold, or irreversibly incorporated into another product; and

(ii) if the Customer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Customer or of any third party where the Products are stored in order to recover them.

(h)  comply with any additional obligations as set out in the Product Specification and/or Services Specification.

8.2  If Proprotein's performance of any of its obligations under the Contract is prevented or delayed by any act or omission by the Customer or failure by the Customer to perform any relevant obligation (Customer Default) then:

(a)  without limiting or affecting any other right or remedy available to it, Proprotein shall have the right to suspend performance of the Services until the Customer remedies the Customer Default, and to rely on the Customer Default to relieve it from the performance of any of its obligations, in each case to the extent the Customer Default prevents or delays Proprotein's performance of any of its obligations;

(b)  Proprotein shall not be liable for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by the Customer arising from Proprotein's failure or delay to perform any of its obligations as set out in this clause 8.2; and

(a)  if the principal reason for the recall is Proprotein’s negligence or failure to deliver Products that conform with the Product Specification, by Proprotein;

(c)  if the recall of the Products was legally required and the reason is not one of those set forth in clauses 9.3(a) or 9.3(b) above, by the parties equally.

Where any taxable supply for VAT purposes is made under the Contract by Proprotein to the Customer, the Customer shall, on receipt of a valid VAT invoice from Proprotein, pay to Proprotein such additional amounts in respect of VAT as are chargeable on the supply of the Services or Products at the same time as payment is due for the supply of the Services or Products.

10.6  If the Customer fails to make a payment due to Proprotein under the Contract by the due date, then, without limiting Proprotein's remedies under clause 17 (Termination), the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. Interest under this clause 10.6 will accrue each day at 4% a year above the Bank of England's base rate from time to time, but at 4% a year for any period when that rate is 0% or lower.

(b) This clause does not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in any legal action or, where applicable, any other method of dispute resolution.

20.3  Severance. If any provision or part-provision of the Contract is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable. If such modification is not possible, the relevant provision or part-provision shall be deemed deleted. Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this clause shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the Contract.

20.4  Waiver. A waiver of any right or remedy under the Contract or by law is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default. A failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under the Contract or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict any further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy provided under the Contract or by law shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

20.5  No partnership or agency. Nothing in the Contract is intended to, or shall be deemed to, establish any partnership or joint venture between the parties, constitute either party the agent of the other, or authorise either party to make or enter into any commitments for or on behalf of the other party.

20.6  Entire agreement.

(a)  The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between them, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter. Except as expressly stated in the Contract, no party makes any express or implied warranty or representation.

(b)  Each party acknowledges that in entering into the Contract it does not rely on, and shall have no remedies in respect of any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in the Contract. Each party agrees that it shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation based on any statement in the Contract.

(c)  Nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

20.7  Third parties’ rights. The Contract does not give rise to any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 for a third party to enforce any term of the Contract.

20.8  Variation. Except as set out in these Conditions, no variation of the Contract, including the introduction of any additional terms and conditions, shall be effective unless it is agreed in writing and signed by the parties (or their authorised representatives).

20.9  Governing law. The Contract and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales.

20.10  Jurisdiction. Each party irrevocably agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with the Contract or its subject matter or formation.
