4. ACCEPTANCE
4.1 If Lasermet installs Equipment, it will test the Equipment in accordance with the manufacturer’s diagnostic and readiness test specifications. Acceptance is deemed to occur: – when the Equipment has been connected, activated and operated to provide its main functions except for minor variances in performance that do not materially affect those main functions; or – if the Customer puts the Equipment into commercial use. If Equipment is installed in phases, Lasermet may carry out acceptance testing for each phase.
4.2 If Lasermet agrees to delay Delivery or installation of Equipment at the request of the Customer or if Delivery or installation is delayed because of a breach of these Terms by the Customer, acceptance shall be deemed to have occurred 14 days after Lasermet notifies the Customer that the Equipment is ready for Delivery.
4.3 If Equipment is sold but not installed by Lasermet, acceptance is deemed to occur upon Delivery.
4.4 If during testing any item of Equipment is found to be defective, Lasermet shall at its discretion and within a reasonable time either rectify the defect or replace the item with a new item and the Equipment shall be re-tested.
4.5 Lasermet will not accept responsibility for any claims for shortages, discrepancies or damage to Equipment unless the Customer notifies Lasermet in writing as soon as the problem should have been apparent and at the latest within 48 hours of Delivery.
5. RISK OF LOSS AND TITLE
5.1 The Customer assumes the risk of loss or damage to Equipment from the time of Delivery. With effect from Delivery, the Customer shall maintain insurance for the full insurable value of Equipment until title passes to the Customer in accordance with clause 5.2.
5.2 Title shall pass to the Customer upon full payment of all sums due for Equipment and any associated installation Services.
6. PRICE AND PAYMENT TERMS
6.1 Unless the Contract states otherwise, prices quoted by Lasermet are in UK pounds sterling and are exclusive of VAT and any other sales taxes, which the Customer agrees to pay. Where Lasermet has quoted a price based on an exchange rate which has altered by more than 2% by the time an Order is received, it reserves the right to re-quote.
6.2 The Customer acknowledges its responsibility to disclose all relevant information to enable Lasermet to calculate its charges accurately. The Customer agrees to pay for additional work required which Lasermet could not reasonably have foreseen on the basis of the information provided to it by the Customer.
6.3 Unless the contract states otherwise invoicing will be as follows.
• For sale of equipment, the full price of the equipment will be invoiced on delivery.
• For the provision of Support Services, the price will be invoiced annually in advance.
• For all other Services the price will be invoiced monthly in arrears as the Services are performed.
If Lasermet is selling and installing Equipment
• 50% of the total order price is payable on placement of order. (No work will be carried out by Lasermet until this payment has been received).
• 30% of the total order price is payable immediately when the equipment has been received by the customer. (No installation / commissioning work will be carried out until this payment has been received).
• 20% of the total order price is payable in accordance with our standard invoice terms following completion of commissioning.
6.4 Invoices shall be paid by the Customer within 30 days from the date of the invoice. If Lasermet does not receive payment within 30 days it shall be entitled to charge daily interest upon the outstanding amount at the rate of 1% over the Bank of England base rate until Lasermet receives payment in full.
6.5 All payments shall be made by the Customer in UK pounds sterling by transfer to such bank account as Lasermet may from time to time notify.
6.6 Lasermet shall be entitled to charge the Customer for all costs incurred and for any loss of anticipated profit if the Customer cancels or purports to cancel its Order in whole or in part after the Order has been accepted by Lasermet or if the Customer prevents performance of a Contract or if the Customer terminates or purports to terminate a Contract in breach of these Terms or any other terms of the Contract. The Customer acknowledges these costs and losses may amount to the full purchase price for Equipment, as Lasermet may be unable to cancel its order or sell the Equipment. The Customer further acknowledges these costs and losses may be very considerable for cancelled Services, as Lasermet may have already employed people to perform the Services and / or purchased all spares or equipment for the duration of the Contract.
6.7 Specifically, for laser blocking screens, Lasercastle laser safety cabins, active guarding equipment and systems, laser blocking roller blinds, curtains or window blocks, custom signs or any custom design product, 100% payment is due on any order cancellation once the production has started or order confirmation has been sent by Lasermet Limited or Lasermet Inc which ever soonest.

6.10 In the event that Lasermet has manufactured goods to the contracted order but is, through any delay or specific request pertaining to the Customer, unable to deliver the goods at the agreed date, Lasermet will reserve the right to invoice the Customer as if delivery had occurred. In circumstances where a pre-agreed holding period is made and goods are to remain on Lasermet premises, Lasermet can request a “Bill & Hold” certificate be signed by both parties.
