For all other Goods which are to be delivered (including, without limitation, oversized or heavy Goods), the Customer must pay the relevant delivery charge.

i. without limiting or affecting any other right or remedy available to it, FS.COM 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 FS.COM's performance of any of its obligations;

iii. the Customer shall reimburse FS.COM on written demand for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by FS.COM arising directly or indirectly from the Customer Default and/or be liable for any additional charges issued by FS.COM in relation to additional work that FS.COM is required to undertake or additional costs that FS.COM is required to incur as a result of the Customer Default.
(c) All Goods supplied by FS.COM under the Contract are intended for use in and to remain within the UK. If the Customer purchases Goods from FS.COM for resale and intends to export such Goods outside the UK, it shall be the Customer’s responsibility to obtain any necessary export or import licences and to comply with the trade laws and regulations of the applicable country of delivery. FS.COM shall have no liability whatsoever regarding the export by the Customer of any such Goods.
9. Charges and payment
(a) The prices of the Goods and/or Services will be as quoted on our online shop at the time the Customer submits their order. FS.COM takes all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Goods and/or Services are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system. However, clause 9(e) below sets out what happens if FS.COM discovers an error in the price of Goods ordered by the Customer.
(b) The prices of the Goods and/or Services exclude VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. Where required by Applicable Laws, the Customer shall additionally be liable to pay VAT to FS.COM at the prevailing rate, subject to the receipt of a valid VAT invoice.
(c) The price of the Goods does not include delivery charges or the cost of packaging or, where applicable, customs duties and fees or any other public charges for deliveries of Goods outside the UK. Any such additional charges shall be as notified to the Customer during the check-out process, before the Customer confirms their Order.
(d) Prices for the Goods and delivery charges and for the Services may change from time to time, but such changes will not affect any Order already placed by the Customer.
(e) FS.COM sells a large number of Goods and Services through its online shop. If, despite FS.COM’s reasonable efforts, some of the Goods or Services in the online shop are incorrectly priced:
i. where the correct price of the Goods or Services is less than the price stated in the online shop, FS.COM will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Goods or before providing the Services; and
ii. if the correct price of the Goods or Services is higher than the price stated in the online shop, FS.COM will contact the Customer as soon as possible to inform them of this error and to give them the option of continuing to purchase the Goods or Services at the correct price or cancelling their Order. FS.COM will not process the Order until it has obtained the Customer’s instructions. If FS.COM is unable to contact the Customer using the contact details they provided during the ordering process, FS.COM will treat the Order as cancelled and notify the Customer in writing. However, if FS.COM mistakenly accepts and processes the Order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by the Customer as a mispricing, FS.COM may cancel supply of the Goods or Services and refund any sums the Customer has paid.
(f) Payment for Goods, Services and any delivery or other charges is to be made by the Customer at the time of placing an Order, unless otherwise agreed in writing with FS.COM.
(g) FS.COM accepts payment by several methods, which are set out in the “Payment Methods Policy” at https://www.fs.com/uk/payment_methods.html.
(h) Where the Customer is a business it must pay all amounts due to FS.COM under the Contract in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
(i) If the Customer fails to make any payment due to FS.COM under the Contract by the due date for payment, then the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum above the Bank of England base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgement. The Customer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount. This clause shall not apply to payments that the Customer disputes in good faith.

(b) FS.COM grants to the Customer, or shall procure the direct grant to the Customer of, a fully paid-up, non-global, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to copy and modify the Deliverables (excluding materials provided by the Customer) for the purpose of receiving and using the Services and the Deliverables in its business. The Customer shall not sub-licence, assign or otherwise transfer the rights granted by this clause 10(b)
(c) The Customer grants FS.COM a fully paid-up, non-exclusive, royalty-free non-transferable licence to copy and modify any materials provided by the Customer to FS.COM for the term of the Contract for the purpose of providing the Services to the Customer.

(a) Subject to clause 14(g), FS.COM at its sole expense, agrees to defend the Customer against any third-party claim that the Customer’s use of any Goods and/or Services in accordance with the Contract, directly infringes that third party's Intellectual Property Right (an “Infringement Claim”), and indemnify the Customer from the resulting costs and damages finally awarded against the Customer to such third party by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in settlement, provided that:

(b) In any action based on an Infringement Claim, FS.COM, at its option and expense, will either: (i) procure the right for the Customer to continue using the Goods and/or the Services in accordance with the Contract; (ii) make modifications to or replace the Goods and/or Services so that the infringing Goods and/or Services become non-infringing without incurring a material diminution in performance or function; or (iii) terminate the Customer’s right to use the infringing Goods and/or Services and issue a refund to the Customer.
(c) FS.COM shall have no liability or obligations for an Infringement Claim pursuant to this clause 11 to the extent that it results from:
i. modifications to the Goods and/or Services made by a party other than FS.COM or a party under the direct control of FS.COM;
ii. use of the Goods and/or Services outside the scope of the Contract;
iii. FS.COM’s use of any designs, instructions, specifications, or the like, provided by the Customer, if any; or
iv. the Customer’s continued use of the Goods and/or Services after it has received notice of the Infringement Claim.

(d) The Customer shall defend and indemnify FS.COM against all losses, damages, expenses and costs (including without limitation court costs and reasonable legal fees) arising out of or in connection with any claim brought against FS.COM by a third party that the Goods and/or Services of FS.COM infringe that third party’s Intellectual Property Rights where those Goods and/or Services have been built or provided in accordance with the designs or instructions of the Customer, provided that:
i. the Customer is given prompt notice of any such claim;
ii. the Supplier provides reasonable co-operation to the Customer in the defence and settlement of such claim, at the Customer's expense; and
iii. the Customer is given sole authority to defend or settle the claim.

(b) Each party may disclose the other party's confidential information:
i. to its employees, officers, representatives, contractors or subcontracts or advisers who need to know such information for the purposes of exercising the party's rights or carrying out its obligations under or in connection with the Contract. Each party shall ensure that its employees, officers, representatives or advisers to whom it discloses the other party's confidential information comply with this clause 12; and
ii. as may be required by law, a court of competent jurisdiction or any governmental or regulatory authority.
(c) No party shall use any other party's confidential information for any purpose other than to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under or in connection with the Contract.
13. Customer information
(a) Any personal information provided to FS.COM by a Customer will be dealt with in line with FS.COM’s Privacy Policy available [here], which explains what information FS.COM collects and holds and how FS.COM collects, stores, uses and shares such information.
14. Liability to business Customers
(a) The Customer agrees that the express obligations of and warranties given by FS.COM in these Terms are in lieu of and to the exclusion of any other warranty, condition, term, undertaking or representation of any kind, express or implied, statutory or otherwise relating to anything supplied or services provided under or in connection with this Contract including (without limitation) as to the condition, quality performance, satisfactory quality or fitness for purpose of the Goods, the Services, or any part of them.
(b) The Customer acknowledges that FS.COM’s obligations and liabilities in respect of the Goods and the Services are exhaustively defined in these Terms.
(c) Neither party may benefit from the limitations and exclusions set out in this clause 14 in respect of any liability arising from its deliberate default.
(d) Nothing in this clause 14 shall limit the Customer’s payment obligations under the Contract.
(e) Nothing in the Contract excludes or limits any liability of either party which cannot legally be limited, including liability for:
i. death or personal injury caused by negligence;
ii. fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
iii. breach of the terms implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 or section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 (title and quiet possession).
(f) The Customer is responsible for the consequences of their operation and use of the Goods and any Deliverables and acknowledges that FS.COM will not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss, damage, cost or expense of any kind whatever and however caused, whether arising under contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise.
(g) Subject to clauses 14(c) and 14(e), FS.COM’s total liability to the Customer (whether in contract, tort, including negligence or otherwise) arising under or in connection with the Contract, including in respect of the indemnity at clause 11(a) shall be limited to the lesser of (i) £50,000 or (ii) the total value of the relevant Order in respect of which a claim is made.
15. FS.COM’s liability to a consumer Customer
(a) Nothing in the Contract excludes or limits any liability of either party which cannot legally be limited, including liability for:
i. death or personal injury caused by negligence; or
ii. fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
(b) If FS.COM breaches these Terms or is negligent, FS.COM is liable to a consumer Customer for foreseeable loss or damage that they suffer as a result. In this context, “foreseeable” means that, at the time the Contract was made, it was either clear that such loss or damage would occur or both parties knew that it might reasonably occur, as a result of something FS.COM did (or failed to do).
(c) FS.COM is not liable to a consumer Customer for any loss or damage that was not foreseeable or any loss or damage not caused by FS.COM’s breach or negligence. Any Goods that FS.COM supplies to a consumer Customer are for that Customer’s personal, domestic and non-business use only, and therefore FS.COM is not liable to a consumer Customer for any business loss or damage.
16. Consumer rights of cancellation
(a) Where the Customer is a consumer and has purchased Goods or Services online, subject to the exceptions set out in clauses 16(b) and 16(e), the Customer may cancel their Order and receive a refund of any sums paid, including any delivery costs.
(b) Where a consumer Customer has purchased Goods, the Customer may cancel their Order by notifying FS.COM within 14 days from the day after delivery of the Goods is completed, unless one of the following exceptions applies:
i. the Goods were manufactured to the Customer’s specification or were clearly personalised;
ii. the Goods had a protective seal and that seal has been broken;
iii. the Goods are digital Goods and the Customer has started to download or stream them; or
iv. the Goods have become inseparably mixed with other items following their delivery.
(c) The Customer must return the Goods to FS.COM (at the Customer’s cost unless agreed otherwise with FS.COM) within 14 days of notifying FS.COM of the cancellation of their Order.
(d) The cancelled Goods must be returned to FS.COM in a new and unused condition and, to the extent possible, in their original packaging. FS.COM may make a deduction from the refund amount if the Customer has handled the Goods in a way that has diminished their value, if such handling was beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the Goods. The Customer is responsible for the Goods while they are in the Customer’s possession.
(e) Where a consumer Customer has purchased Services, the Customer may cancel their Order by notifying FS.COM within 14 days of placing their Order unless the Services have been completed. If the Customer has used the Services prior to cancelling their Order but those Services have not been completed, the Customer shall not be eligible for a refund for the period of time that they used the Services before cancelling the Order.
(f) FS.COM will issue the refund to the Customer as soon as possible and within 14 days of receiving the cancelled Goods from the Customer or within 14 days of the Customer notifying FS.COM of the cancellation of Services. FS.COM will issue the refund using the same method as the Customer used for payment.
17. Termination
(a) Without limiting or affecting any other right or remedy available to it, either party may terminate the Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to the other Party if the other party:
i. commits a material breach of any term of the Contract and (if such a breach is remediable) fails to remedy that breach within 14 days after being notified in writing to do so;

iv. suspends or ceases, or threatens to suspend, or cease, to carry on all or a substantial part of its business.
(b) Without limiting or affecting any other right or remedy available to it, FS.COM may suspend the supply of Services or all further deliveries of Goods under the Contract if the Customer fails to pay any amount due under the Contract on the due date for payment and remains in default not less than 30 days after being notified in writing to make such payment.
(c) On termination of the Contract, the Customer shall immediately pay to FS.COM all of FS.COM's outstanding unpaid invoices and interest and, in respect of Services and Goods supplied but for which no invoice has been submitted, FS.COM shall submit an invoice, which shall be payable by the Customer immediately on receipt.

Where the Customer is a business, the Contract constitutes the entyre agreement between FS.COM and the Customer in relation to its subject matter and the Customer acknowledges that they have not relied on any statement, promise or representation or assurance or warranty that is not set out in the Contract.
(b) Assignment and other dealings. The Customer may not assign, transfer or deal in any other manner with all or any of their rights or obligations under the Contract without the prior written consent of FS.COM. FS.COM may assign, transfer or deal in any other manner with all or any of its rights or obligations under the Contract at any time.
(c) Severance. If any provision or part-provision of the Contract is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed deleted, but that shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the Contract.
(d) Waiver. A waiver of any right or remedy under the Contract or law is only effective if given in writing and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent right or remedy.

(e) 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, nor constitute either party the agent of the other for any purpose.
