TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. What we do.

Geomiq.com is
an intelligent online platform for quoting and ordering of custom manufactured
parts from a network of trusted manufacturers.

2. About us

Company details. Geomiq Ltd (company number
10321594) (we and us), is a company registered in
England and Wales and our registered office is at 45, Vyner St, London E2 9DQ. Our VAT number is 258421205.

3. Our contract with you

3.1. Our contract. 
By using the Website and/or the Services, you (You) acknowledges to have read, understood and agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions (Terms) and are agreed to and form the contract (Contract). If you do not agree with these terms and conditions (Terms), you should not use the Services and/or access the website. No other terms are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.

3.2. Entire agreement. 
The Contract is the entire agreement between us in relation to its subject matter and supersedes any prior agreement between
us and you, including any non-disclosure agreement. You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise or representation or assurance or warranty that is not set out in the Contract.

3.3. Language. 
These Terms and the Contract are made only in the English language.

4. Placing an order and its acceptance

4.1. Registration.
You may register on Geomiq.com, using a valid email address and delivery details, to order products from us. When you register, you must specify a secure password to use with your account. You must keep your password confidential not allow your password to be used by anyone else.

4.2. Getting a quote.
To obtain a quote for a product, you can use our online forms or email to send us the specifications of the product and/or upload or attach
electronic computer aided design (CAD) files in the relevant format specified by us on our website.  You can also contact us by phone: however, using our online quoting system is the recommended method of requesting a quote and order management/tracking.  We aim to
send quotes back within 1 business day (a business day being Monday to Friday) if ordered between 9am-5pm on Monday to Friday, or 2 business days at all other times. Quotes are only valid for 5 days and may be amended at any time due to changes in exchange rates, shipping rates or raw material costs.

4.3. Placing your order. 
If you wish to order goods on the basis of the quote we have supplied, you can do so by paying online via Geomiq.com, by bank transfer or, for approved customers only, by purchase order.  Each order is an offer by you to buy the goods specified in the order (Goods) subject to these Terms.

4.4. How we will accept your order.
Our acceptance of your order will take place when we contact you to formally accept it, which may be by email or other electronic notification, at which point a Contract will come into existence between you and us.  Before accepting the order we will ensure our manufacturing partner has agreed to produce the goods.

4.5. If we cannot accept your order.
If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this and will not charge you for the Goods. This might be because parts cannot be produced as requested, the manufacturer is no longer able to honour the quote, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements, because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Goods or because we are unable to meet a delivery deadline you have specified.

4.6. Your order number.
We will assign an order number to your order and tell you what it is when we accept your order. It will help us if you can tell us the order number whenever you contact us about your order.

4.7. We sell worldwide.
We accept orders from addresses outside the UK, but all orders are subject to English law.

5. Specifications

1. You are responsible for ensuring that the specifications you supply to us in written or electronic form are correct. 

2. We will not quote or work from engineering drawings and will only quote or work from the dropdown/selection boxes on the quote form through the platform unless otherwise stated on the quote.

3. We are not responsible for any discrepancy between CAD and .pdf files, and in the event of any such discrepancy designs will be made to the specification as set out in the 3D CAD Model file or 2D file for Sheet Metal only and as per point 2, the platform drop down/selection boxes on the quote form to avoid production delays.

4. You are responsible for ensuring that the format of the CAD file containing the part you require, is a single body file and not a multi-body file or an assembly file. We do not accept any liability where parts have been incorrectly produced as the result of a multi-body file. Orders that are placed and where production has began, where a multi-body file has been provided by email or uploaded to the platform will not be refunded in any circumstances.

5. Where tolerances are marked on drawings or indicated by using the Geomiq platform, tolerances will always be met prior to any secondary finishing processes such as bead blasting, anodising and any other post initial production process treatments. Therefore You must have made allowances for secondary processes when designing your parts to accommodate any additional processes you may require.

6. The scale and units of any parts transferred or uploaded to us must be metric units (mm), where 2D files for sheet metal are transferred, the drawings provided must be in flat pattern 1:1 DXF format only as this is what parts will be made to.

7. If there are any requirements for infrastructure, work environment, contamination, cleanliness or preservation then we must be informed at the time of request for quote and as part of the RFQ in the 'Notes' section.

6. Your rights to make changes to the Goods

1. Engineering Change Request:
If you wish to make a change to the Goods you have ordered please contact us as soon as possible with a completed Engineering Change Request Document. Starting July 1st 2023 our policies are updated as follows; we do not accept ECR’s on orders under £6,000. If your order exceeds £6,000, you may submit a request for an administrative charge at £200+VAT, per request, in addition to the cost of the change. We will consult our supplier and rely on their guidance on if this change can be implemented. Submitting an ECR can significantly change lead time, and/or cost to manufacture the part.

2. Cancellations:
Starting July 1st 2023 our policies are updated as follows; To keep our competitive lead times, we cannot allow cancellations of any kind. All sales are final. Liability for payment of goods remains in effect irrespective of whether a customer cancels their Purchase Order. Upon engaging Geomiq’s services, these terms and conditions take precedence over any customer terms or conditions stated in Purchase Orders, regardless of timing, Terms of Business, or any other agreements. This is necessary for Geomiq to uphold standardised processes and fulfil our commitment to providing competitive services.

7. Delivery, transfer of risk and title

1. We will usually contact you during the order process with an estimated delivery date. Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an
Event Outside Our Control. See clause 16 (Events outside our control) for our responsibilities when this happens.

2. Delivery is complete once the Goods have been unloaded at the address for delivery set out in your order and the Goods will be at your risk from that time.

3. You own the Goods once we have received payment in full, including of all applicable delivery charges, duties and taxes.

4. If we fail to deliver the Goods, our liability is limited to the cost of obtaining replacement goods of a similar description and quality in the
cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. However, we will not be liable to the extent that any failure to deliver was caused by an Event Outside Our Control, or because you failed to provide adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of goods.

5. If you fail to take delivery within 10 days after the day on which we notified you that the Goods were ready for delivery, we may resell part
of, or all the Goods.

8. International delivery

1. If you order Goods from our site for delivery outside the UK, your order may be subject to import duties and taxes which are applied when the delivery reaches that destination. Please note that we have no control over these charges and we cannot predict their amount.

2. You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes. Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order.

3. You warrant that you will comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Goods are destined, and inform us of any applicable export licences. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law, and you will indemnify us for any loss or damage (including reasonable legal costs) we suffer as a result of your breach of this warrant.

4. Warehouse storage can be arranged by agreement on a case-by-case basis: some our manufacturing partners are able to offer this service, and if not we may be able to use an insured third party.

9. Price of goods and delivery charges

1. The prices of the Goods will be as quoted to you and will be valid for 5 days.

2. Prices for the Goods may change from time to time, including orders you have already placed or Purchase Orders have been received. This will only happen if there is a fluctuation in raw material costs, shipping costs or exchange rates more than 5%. If there are fluctuations, we will inform you of the change in cost that You will be required to pay.

3. The price of Goods excludes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being. However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your order and the date of delivery, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Goods in full before the change in VAT takes effect.

4. The price of the Goods does not include delivery charges. Our delivery charges are as advised to you on our website or in quote, before you
confirm your order.

5. We sell a large number of Goods through our site. It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Goods on our site may be incorrectly priced. If we discover an error in the price of the Goods you have ordered we will contact you to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to purchase the Goods at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process your order until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled and notify you in writing. If we mistakenly accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may cancel supply of the Goods and refund you any sums you have paid.

10. How to pay

1. You can pay for Goods using a debit card or credit card through our Stripe payment gateway, Purchase Order (where agreed) or by bank transfer.

2. Payment for the Goods and all applicable delivery charges is in advance, unless otherwise agreed.
