Terms and conditions

Part-on – General Terms and Conditions of Sale

1. Agreement

1.1 These terms and conditions govern the agreement between us (Part-on Tools) and you (the Customer) relating to the repair, servicing, and/or supply of goods, parts, or other items (“the Goods”). Any amendments must be confirmed in writing by a duly authorised representative.
1.2 Variations in the Work or Goods supplied shall be deemed amendments to this Agreement, not new agreements.
1.3 This Agreement is made in England and governed by English Law. The English courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
1.4 Materials such as aluminium profiles, mesh, polycarbonate, and PE with specific cut requests are excluded from our returns policy. Cuts or bespoke orders cannot be cancelled and are non-refundable once acknowledged.


2. Quotations

2.1 A quotation is our considered approximation of likely costs and is valid for 30 days.
2.2 Quotations are based on the published price of the Goods at the time of quotation. If supplier prices increase after quotation, we will notify you. If the increase exceeds 10%, you may cancel within 14 days.
2.3 If a quotation appears likely to be exceeded by more than 10% during the Work, we will notify you and will not continue without your express authorisation.
2.4 All quotations exclude any applicable Value Added Tax (VAT).


3. Completion of Work and Payment

3.1 We will use our best efforts to complete Work or supply Goods within any estimated timeframe, but delays outside our control are not our responsibility.

3.3 Payment must be made in advance unless a credit account has been agreed.
3.4 Payments can be made via BACS, UK credit/debit card, or cash, unless otherwise agreed. Cheques must clear before collection.

4.2 The Customer is responsible for loss or damage after delivery and should insure accordingly.


5. Loss, Damage, and Liability

6. Returned Goods

6.1 Business-to-Consumer (B2C) Sales — Distance & Online Contracts

6.1.1 If you are a consumer and the Goods were supplied under a distance or off-premises contract (for example online, by phone, or by email), you have cancellation rights under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013.
6.1.2 You may cancel your order within 14 calendar days from the day after you (or your nominated person) receive the Goods. Once cancellation has been notified, you then have a further 14 days to return the Goods to us.

6.2.1 If you are purchasing as a business, the automatic cancellation (“cooling-off”) rights available to consumers do not apply.
6.2.2 Returns and refunds for non-faulty Goods are accepted only by prior written agreement and subject to inspection and approval.
6.2.3 We reserve the right to apply reasonable handling or restocking charges (typically 10–25%) to cover administrative, inspection, and re-packaging costs.
6.2.4 Goods returned without prior authorisation or outside agreed timeframes may be refused or subject to additional fees.
6.2.5 If Goods are faulty or not as described, your remedies (repair, replacement, or refund) will be as set out in the contract and applicable law, including the Sale of Goods Act 1979 for implied terms of quality and fitness.

6.3 General

6.3.1 All returns must be authorised in advance and accompanied by proof of purchase.
6.3.2 Goods must be returned in their original condition and packaging, unless faulty.

7.2 The charge covers the time and resources spent diagnosing the repair.
7.3 The assessment charge may be waived if a new tool is purchased or the repair is completed.


7A. Additional Work & Missing Parts Disclaimer

7A.1 Part-on Tools makes every effort to ensure all faults and required parts are identified before issuing a quotation. In most cases, the quotation provided is final and no additional costs arise.
7A.2 On rare occasions, further issues or non-functional components may only become apparent during detailed testing or after replacement of the initially suspected part(s).
7A.3 If additional work or parts are required, we will contact you immediately to explain the findings and provide a revised quotation before proceeding with any further work. No additional repairs will be undertaken without your express authorisation.
7A.4 Where possible, Part-on Tools will minimise any additional costs. As a gesture of goodwill, we may reduce the price of extra parts or provide labour free of charge to help keep your repair cost-effective.


8. Overpayments and Refunds

8.1 Business Customers (B2B): Overpayments will be held on account or refunded minus administration fees (£10–£75) and any actual bank charges. Requests must be made within 6 months.
8.2 Consumer Customers (B2C): Overpayments may be used against future purchases or refunded without unreasonable delay. Admin fees apply only if the overpayment was not our error and were agreed in advance.


9. Notices

9.1 All notices must be in writing and sent by post to the address provided. Notices are deemed received within the normal course of delivery.


10. Cutting Tolerances and Quality Assurance

10.1 Aluminium profiles: ±0.5 mm
10.2 Steel profiles: ±1.0 mm
10.3 Tolerances may vary for unusually thick or complex profiles; any special requirements must be agreed in writing prior to cutting.
10.4 All cuts are performed using calibrated equipment checked daily for accuracy.
10.5 Internal quality checks are performed regularly to verify compliance with specified tolerances.
10.6 Customers must specify any tighter tolerances required for their application. Additional costs may apply for precision cutting beyond standard tolerances.

11. Wear and Tear Parts

11.1 Wear and tear parts such as jaws, mandrels, spindles, and similar components are excluded from the manufacturer’s guarantee.
11.2 Always read the tool’s manual before use and ensure proper operation.
11.3 For threaded mandrels used on insert tools (particularly M3–M6 sizes and stainless steel applications), we recommend purchasing spare mandrels as these are most prone to breakage.
