All orders are accepted by Ideas In2 Action on these conditions of sale which supersede any other terms previously published, unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing on Ideas In2 Action headed documentation by a Director of Ideas In2 Action, these conditions of sale, design and development and service provision, override and exclude any other terms stipulated or incorporated or referred to by the Customer, whether in the purchase order or during any negotiations or any course of dealing established between Ideas In2 Action and the Customer or client, and constitute the entire understanding between Ideas In2 Action and the Customer for the sale of products or services.

2. Offers and Acceptance

3. Educational Establishments

In relation to our work in Educational establishments, Ideas in2 Action will require confirmation that the client’s equipment and machinery used for training is compliant with British Standard 4163 (BS -4163) and the PUWER Regulations (1998).

We reserve the right to modify the training provided, where, in circumstances when we arrive at the training establishment we find that some equipment or machinery is not compliant with the above documents.

In the event of a school cancelling a course, later than 7 days prior to the course, Ideas in2 Action reserves the right to make a charge against that booking.

4. Orders

After initial discussion with Ideas In2 Action, where possible orders should be made using a Customer’s reference number and/or your trade account number. We regret that we cannot confirm telephone orders until an official order has been received as hard, or emailed,copy.

Ideas In2 Action reserve the right to deliver part orders or hold orders, until all items are available as required, the only exception being when we have been requested to build a product to special order.

5. Prices

Ideas In2 Action will make a quotation to customers prior to commencing work on any project.

6. Inspection, Transit Delays and Non-Delivery
