It is also agreed that:
The Customer wishes to acquire goods and services described in the Order (Goods and Services) and the Supplier wishes to supply them to the Customer, on the terms and conditions set out in this agreement (Terms
).
The Supplier shall only supply Goods and Services to the Customer on these Terms. (Terms can only be varied in writing signed by an authorised officer of the Supplier).
The Customer should follow the instructions on the Website in order to place the Order. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order are complete and accurate so please check these carefully and make any amendments to any errors as required before placing your Order.
Any Orders placed by the Customer are offers for the purchase of the Goods and Services on the basis of these Terms.
The Customer should print or save a copy of the Terms to the Customer’s computer or server in order that the Customer can refer to them again in the future.
On receipt of an Order from the Customer, the Supplier will issue an acknowledgement of the Order so that the Customer knows that the Order has been received but this does not constitute acceptance of the Order.
The Supplier will confirm acceptance of an Order in writing, at which point the Supplier’s contract with the Customer for the supply of the Goods and Services in that Order shall come into existence.
If the Supplier cannot accept the Order, it will confirm this in writing to the Customer and the Order will not be processed any further. If the Supplier has already received payment from the Customer, it will promptly refund the Customer.
The Supplier’s contract with the Customer for the supply of the Goods and Services comprises the Order, these Terms and anything else the Supplier expressly agrees in writing (Contract).
Any descriptions of the Goods and Services contained on the Website are only for illustrative purposes and do not form part of the Contract
The Supplier may amend any specification for Goods or the Services Specification as required by law, or to comply with any relevant regulatory obligations.
The Supplier only sells goods and services in the UK.
Separate terms and conditions apply to the use of the Website. Those terms and conditions can be found here: https://www.kidscovered.app/terms.
The Contract is made in the English language only.
The Supplier’s contact details; are as follows:

The Customer will pay the Charges for Goods set out on the Website when the Customer placed its Order (but subject to section 2.8 in the case of an error in pricing on the Website).
Where the Goods are to be delivered to the Customer, the Charges for Goods do not include carriage, insurance or packaging and the Supplier shall be entitled to recover from the Customer all reasonable expenses incurred by it in delivering the Goods to the Customer. The Supplier will inform the Customer on the Website of such expenses before the Customer places the Order.
The Customer will pay the Charges for Services set out on the Website at the time when the Customer placed the Order.
The Charges for Services do not include expenses incurred by the Supplier’s staff or sub-contractors such as hotel, food, travel and similar expenses, or any other third-party costs which the Supplier incurs in providing the Services. The Supplier shall be entitled to recover all of these from the Customer but will agree such expenses with the Customer in advance of them being incurred.
The Supplier may charge amounts in addition to the Charges if the Customer requests any change to the Goods or Services after the commencement of the Contract, if the Customer fails promptly to provide any instructions or Customer Materials required by the Supplier for the supply of the Goods or Services, or for any reason which is due to any other act or omission of the Customer.
The Supplier reserves the right to change the Standard Services Charges by giving at least two months’ written notice to the Customer.
Unless otherwise stated the Charges will be exclusive of VAT which the Customer shall be liable to pay to the Supplier in addition to the Charges.
The Supplier makes all reasonable efforts to ensure that it does not make errors with the prices that the Supplier charges the Customer. For example, before the Supplier accepts the Order, the Supplier usually tries to check the price against its price list in force at the time of the Order. However, if an error has been made and the price in the price list is lower than the price in the Order, then the Supplier will charge the Customer the price on the price list (being the lower amount) or the Supplier will provide a refund in respect of such amount if the Customer has already made payment. If an error has been made and the price in the price list is higher than the price in the Order, the Supplier will contact the Customer to confirm how the Customer would like to proceed and whether the Customer would like to proceed at the higher price or whether the Customer wishes to cancel the Order (in which case the Supplier will promptly refund any payments already made by the Customer).
The Customer will pay the Charges for Goods and for Services and other expenses in advance via the Website at the time it places its Order. The Website accepts payments using Stripe (www.stripe.com).
The first payment for Charges for Services will be taken via the Website when the Customer places its Order.
The Customer will pay the Supplier within 7 days of receiving the Supplier’s invoice. The Supplier accepts payment using BACS or paster payments. We do not exxcept cheques or cash.
Payment shall be treated as made once the Supplier receives cleared funds.
Time for payment of the Charges shall be ‘of the essence’.
All payments must be made by the Customer without any deduction or set-off.
If any amounts owed by the Customer to the Supplier become overdue, then (without compromising any other rights or remedies available to the Supplier), the Supplier:
shall be entitled to charge interest upon such amounts in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998
may suspend the supply of any further Services and/or delivery of Goods, and any goods and/or services under any other contract between the Supplier and the Customer, until the overdue amounts are paid in full, and/or
may terminate the Contract.
The Customer is responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Supplier in relation to the recovery by the Supplier of any amounts owed to it by the Customer.
Any dates quoted for delivery of Goods are approximate only and time for delivery of the Goods shall not be of the essence.
The Supplier will deliver the Goods to the premises identified by the Customer in the Order, or to another location agreed in writing between the Supplier and Customer, unless the Customer has requested to collect the Goods. If the Customer has requested to collect the goods, the Customer shall collect them within seven days of the Supplier notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready for collection.
If the Customer does not accept delivery of the Goods, or does not collect the Goods within seven days of the Supplier notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready for collection, then (without in any way compromising any other rights or remedies available to the Supplier), the Supplier may
store the Goods until delivery of the Goods occurs and
invoice the Customer for the costs and expenses of storage, insurance and other associated costs.
If the delivery of the Goods has not occurred within 20 days, the Supplier is entitled to sell the Goods to someone else. If this sale leaves the Supplier with less than the amount it would have been paid by the Customer for these Goods, the Supplier can charge the Customer for the difference or may deduct this from any refund due to the Customer.
The Supplier may deliver the Goods by instalments. Each instalment shall be deemed to be a separate contract and any failure or delay by the Supplier to deliver any one instalment shall not entitle the Customer to terminate the Contract in relation to other instalments.
If the Supplier fails to deliver the Goods, or an instalment of Goods, then the Supplier’s liability to the Customer shall be limited to an amount equivalent to the excess price (above the amount of the Charges for Goods) that the Customer has to pay for similar goods (at the cheapest market rate) to replace those undelivered Goods.
Notwithstanding Section 4.7 above, the Supplier will not be liable to the Customer where non-delivery of the Goods is due to a reason beyond the Supplier’s reasonable control, or to a default by the Customer (for which the Supplier shall have no liability).
For goods that are delivered to the premises identified in the Order (or any other location agreed between the Supplier and Customer in writing), the responsibility for and risk in the Goods passes to the Customer:
at the time of delivery of the Goods to those premises, or
if the Customer fails to accept the Goods, then delivery (and the responsibility for and risk in the Goods passed to the Customer) will be at the time when the Supplier attempted to deliver the Goods to the Customer.
Where Goods are collected by the Customer, the responsibility for and risk in the Goods passes to the Customer at the time when the Supplier notifies the Customer that the Goods are ready for collection.

Subject to section 6.4, ownership of the Goods does not pass to the Customer until the Supplier has received full and cleared payment of the Charges for the Goods (and for any other goods under any other contract between the Supplier and the Customer for which payment for such goods has become due).
Until ownership of the Goods passes to the Customer, the Customer will:
keep and store the Goods separately from any goods belonging to any other person or company;
ensure that the Goods remain readily identifiable as belonging to the Supplier. The Customer shall not do anything which may obscure or deface any markings indicating that the Goods belong to the Supplier;
store and keep the Goods in good condition; and
insure the Goods from the time at which risk in the Goods passes to the Customer.
If the Customer’s business fails, or is likely to fail, the Customer will immediately notify the Supplier and any right of resale of Goods under the Contract shall terminate immediately. (The Customer’s business will be treated for this purpose as having failed if it meets any of the termination conditions identified in section 14.2.)
Subject to section 6.3, until the time when ownership of the Goods passes to the Customer, the Customer may use or resell the Goods only in its ordinary course of business. If it does resell the Goods in its ordinary course of business, ownership of such Goods shall pass to the Customer immediately before such resale.

The Supplier shall not be liable under the warranty in section 7.2 if:
any use is made of the Goods after the Customer has provided the Supplier with notice that the Goods do not meet the warranty (see section 7.4);

its effect on the Charges (up or down);

any other impact of the change.
The Supplier warrants to the Customer that the Services will be supplied:
using reasonable care and skill; and
in accordance with the Services Specification in all material respects.

The following sections set out the rights and obligations of each party.
The Customer will comply with Data Protection Laws and will ensure that it has the necessary notices, and where appropriate necessary consents, to allow for the transfer of personal data from the Customer to the Supplier and to cover the purposes of the processing pursuant to the Contract.
For the purposes of Data Protection Laws:

The Supplier agrees that when the Supplier is processing personal data as a data processor on the Customer’s behalf:
the Supplier will comply with Data Protection Laws;
the Supplier will only carry out processing on the Customer’s written instructions (which for the avoidance of doubt includes this Contract and the terms of the Order) and only for the purposes of the Services, unless the Supplier is under a legal obligation to process personal data without the Customer’s instructions, in which case the Supplier will inform the Customer of that legal obligation prior to processing (unless prohibited to do so by law);
the Supplier will ensure that any personnel (or others who process personal data on the Customer’s behalf (including any sub-processors)) are subject to a duty of confidentiality; or are under a statutory duty of confidentiality;

at the end of this Contract the Supplier will, at the Customer’s option, return to the Customer or delete all personal data and the Supplier will procure the same action is taken by any sub-processors.

The Customer shall have 10 days from the date of the notice to raise (by written notice to the Supplier) any objections, on reasonable grounds, to the sub- processors named therein.

If the Customer does not provide notice of objection within 10 days of the date of the notice from the Supplier then the Customer will be deemed to accept the change(s) to sub-processors. In respect of any sub-processors, the Customer confirms it will enter into a written agreement with such sub-processors which include clauses substantially similar to sections 13.4 to 13.9 of this Contract clauses required by the Data Protection Laws, but which for the avoidance of doubt are not the same as the clauses in this Contract.
The Supplier shall remain liable to the Customer for any acts or omissions of any sub-processor.
These sections 13.4 to 13.9 of this Contract are in addition to the obligations of each party under Data Protection Laws, and they are not intended to substitute or change those obligations.

the Customer fails to pay any amount under the Contract when due; or
the Customer commits a material breach of the Contract and fails to rectify the breach within 5 working days.

any Charges under any invoice which the Supplier raises after termination, relating to any Goods and/or Services which have been supplied prior to termination, but for which the Supplier had not yet raised an invoice before termination; and
any costs and expenses incurred by the Customer in recovering the Goods and/or in collecting any sums due under the Contract (including any storage, insurance, repair, transport, legal and remarketing costs).
Termination or expiry of the Contract shall not affect any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities of the parties that have accrued up to the date of termination, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of the Contract which existed at or before the date of termination.
Any term of the Contract which is specifically stated to continue or which, by its very nature, is intended to continue after termination of the Contract, shall continue to bind the parties following termination or expiry of the Contract.
The Supplier shall not be liable to the Customer for any failure or delay in performing any of its obligations to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by an event beyond its reasonable control.

The parties agree that they shall have no rights or remedies in relation to any representation or warranty that is not included in the Contract.
The Customer shall not assign, sub-contract, delegate, or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Contract without the prior written consent of the Supplier.
If any provision of these Terms is held by a competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the validity of the other Terms and of the remainder of the provision in question will not be affected. Every provision is severable from every other.
No single or partial exercise or failure or delay in exercising any right, power or remedy by a party under the Contract, howsoever arising, shall operate as a waiver by that party of, or impair or preclude any further exercise of that right, power of remedy. To be valid and effective, any waiver must be in writing.
Unless otherwise expressly stated, nothing in the Contract will create or confer any rights or other benefits pursuant to the Contracts (Rights of third Parties) Act 1999 in favour of any person other than a party to the Contract.
Any written notice under these Terms will be deemed to have been sufficiently served if posted by pre-paid official post, couriered, faxed on receipt of successful answerback, or if sent by e-mail (but in this case only on evidence of successful transmission and only if the parties have regularly communicated on contract matters by e- mail).
The Contract will be governed by the law of England, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
