Terms & Conditions of Trading

A. Application of Conditions

These are the terms and conditions of supply (the ‘Conditions’) of Sabre Software Development Ltd (the ‘Company’) in relation to the provision of printing and ancillary services and the supply of any associated goods, including but not limited to any Supplies (the ‘Services’). The Conditions shall be deemed accepted by any person, firm or company who places an order with the Company (the ‘Customer’) upon the Customer’s placing of an order with the Company and shall govern any contract (the ‘Contract’) entered into between the Company and the Customer to the exclusion of any other terms and conditions. No order placed by the Customer shall be accepted by the Company other than: (a) by a written acknowledgment issued and executed by the Company; or (b) (if earlier) by the Company starting to perform the Services and any quotation supplied by the Company to the Customer shall not bind the Company unless such quotation is confirmed in a written acknowledgment of order issued and executed by the Company as aforesaid. ‘Supplies’ means all CD's, CD-R's, disks and other materials the Company provides to the Customer but does not include Materials. ‘Materials’ means the films, CD's, CD-R's, disks and other materials that the Customer is to provide to the Company in order for the Company to perform the Services.

1. Services.

1.1 The Services the Company shall provide to the Customer, the price(s) to be paid for the Services, the dates for delivery or performance and other relevant details shall be as stated in the Company’s written acknowledgment of the Customer’s order. Where any alterations to the Services are proposed following the Company’s written acknowledgment of the Customer’s order any such alterations shall be agreed in writing with the Company before any work may proceed.

1.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, full payment to the Company for the work to be undertaken shall be due upon receipt of order and any and all applicable fees shall be similarly payable at such time together with value added tax at prevailing rates. Where the Company agrees to accept payment or part-payment at any time after receipt of order, payment shall be due within 30 days of the date of the relevant invoice, time for payment shall be of the essence and: i. Failure by the Customer to make any payment by its due date shall entitle the Company to: a) at its option, to charge interest at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum above National Westminster Bank’s base lending rate from time to time calculated on a daily basis, until payment in full is made (a part of a month being treated as a full month for the purpose of calculating interest); b) to charge the Customer with any costs incurred by the Company in the course of collecting outstanding monies due to the Company from the Customer; c) suspend any warranty for the Services, whether or not they have been paid for; and d) set off any amount owed by the Company to the Customer against any amount owed by the Customer to the Company on any account whatsoever. The Company reserves the right to claim interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998; ii. No payment shall be deemed to have been received until the Company has received cleared funds. In the event that the Customer tenders payment by cheque and said cheque is returned unpaid to the Company, the Customer shall reimburse the Company for any bank charges incurred by the Company. iii. All payments payable to the Company under the Contract shall become due immediately on its termination despite any other provision; and iv. The Customer shall make all payments due under the Contract in full without any deduction whether by way of set-off, counterclaim, discount, abatement or otherwise unless the Customer has a valid court order requiring an amount equal to such deduction to be paid by the Company to the Customer.

1.3 In addition to the price/fees for the Services, the Customer agrees to pay any and all of the Company’s reasonable out of pocket expenses, including, without limitation, postage and packing.

1.4 The Company will use its reasonable endeavours to abide by any dates agreed for delivery of Supplies but shall not be liable for any failure to do so and time for delivery shall not be of the essence of the Contract. The Customer agrees to supply the Materials to the Company at the Customer’s sole cost and risk and in sufficient time for the Company to process the Customer’s order and without limitation, the Company will not be liable where any failure to deliver as agreed is caused by the Customers' delay.

1.5 Without limiting the generality of Condition 1.4 above, the Company shall not be responsible for any delay or failure to deliver any materials to the Customer if any such delay or failure is caused by circumstances beyond the Company’s control, such as Acts of God, fire, strikes, or any failure of subcontractors or suppliers to supply material required. Where any such delay or failure occurs, the Company’s obligations to the Customer shall be suspended for the period of the delay or failure.

1.6 Where the Customer does not confirm in writing acceptance of the Supplies within 7 days of delivery, the Supplies shall be deemed to be accepted at the earlier of the expiration of that 7 day period or the Customer's first use of the Supplies. Where the Supplies are properly rejected by the Customer within the earlier of (a) 7 days from delivery or (b) first use, as aforesaid, whether in whole or in part, the Company shall use its reasonable endeavours to deliver conforming Supplies to the Customer in compliance with these Conditions, subject always to the requirements of Condition 3.2. For the avoidance of doubt, unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Company, delivery shall take place at the Customer’s place of business.

1.7 Risk of damage to or loss of the Supplies shall pass to the Customer at the time of delivery or, if the Customer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Supplies, the time when the Company has tendered delivery of the Supplies.

1.8 Notwithstanding delivery of and the passing of risk in the Supplies and notwithstanding any other provisions of these Conditions, the Company reserves the right of disposal of the Supplies, and the property therein shall not pass to the Customer, until the Company has received in cash or cleared funds payment in full for such items and all other Supplies supplied by the Company to the Customer and default interest and all other monies on any account whatsoever owed by the Customer to the Company.

1.9 The Customer grants the Company, its agents and employees an irrevocable licence at any time to enter any premises where the Supplies are or may be stored or otherwise located, but in any event, and without limitation, hereby undertakes to secure access at any time to any such premises for the Company, its agents and employees in order to inspect the Supplies, or, where the Customer's right to possession has terminated, to recover them.

2. Customer Warranty.

The Customer warrants that performance of the Services by the Company will not infringe any law or regulation, including, without limitation any law of copyright or similar law, or any contract (including, without limitation, any licensing agreement) to which the Customer is a party or to which the Customer is bound or to which the Materials are subject, and that the Materials are not obscene, blasphemous or defamatory and will not adversely affect the Company’s public perception or image. Without limitation, any breach of this warranty will be indemnified by the Customer pursuant to the provisions of Condition 3.10.

The Company shall, if it opts to replace the defective Supplies, then deliver replacement Supplies to the Customer at the Customer’s premises (at the Company’s expense), and ownership of the defective Supplies shall, if it has vested in the Customer, re-vest in the Company; and (b)the Company shall re-perform any services which are proved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company not to have been performed with reasonable skill and care, or at the Company’s option, shall issue a credit note to the value of the services.

Virus Protection:

Sabre software's anti virus procedures are based upon the wider requirement to protect our client masters from any unauthorised "change and modification" while in our care.

In order to achieve this we 'Write Protect' masters as they arrive on the premises and do not 'load', 'run' or 'execute' any programs or data files from client duplication masters. ( Write protecting a disk prevents infection / modification ).

During the duplication process we compare copies against the master to ensure they are the same, and prior to despatch we conduct a virus check on a sample from the duplicated batch (PC disks and CDs only).

While we make every effort to ensure we do not 'infect' client disks, or ship duplicated disks with viruses, we do advise clients to satisfy themselves that disks are virus free prior to onward shipment or internal use.

Due to the ever changing nature of viruses, we can not guarantee absolutely that disks are virus free. We especially recommend that clients distributing disks and CDs in Macintosh format conduct their own virus checks prior to use. Mac viruses are becoming more prevalent.

Quality:

We make every effort possible to ensure the quality, integrity, and performance of all disks & CDs duplicated by us. Only high quality media is used, and not only are quality controls applied at each stage of our duplication procedures, but a high proportion of completed disks are sampled and tested at the end of the duplication run.

Where we know that the disks or CDs may be used on a variety of different versions of a given computer (or example the games market) we do whatever possible to test the dupes on different machines. (We cannot guarantee to have conducted tests on all the possible variations however).

For these reasons we have every confidence that the disks and CDs supplied to you are of high performance and fault free However, because the performance of software and disks or CDs is a function of the interplay between the two; the machine they are applied to; and to the operator, we cannot accept responsibility for the performance of disks once they have been onwardly sold from yourselves.

It is incumbent upon you as our client therefore to satisfy yourselves before onward shipment that your own standards have been met.

If there is ANY quality shortfall, please contact us immediately and steps will be put in hand forthwith to ensure you get what you have paid for, and we have promised.
