Terms & Conditions

The company is named Heritage Quarry Group Limited and for this purpose is to be called the “Seller”. Any Company, Firm, Individual or Agent thereof intent on acquiring goods or services offered by the company from the Sellers trading address of The Estate Office, Quarry Farm, Banbury Road, Great Tew, Oxon OX7 4BT now to be to be called the “Site” for this purpose, in exchange for a monetary payment made to the “Seller” shall for this purpose be called the “Buyer”. To avoid any doubt or confusion no other implied terms and conditions shall apply to a contract of sale offered by the seller and accepted by the buyer either in a written form or by some other some other means.
Description of the products for sale
The seller endeavours to provide a comprehensive list of products made available for sale prices for which are by separate negotiation to all interested buyers, such negotiation to be agreed and settled in advance of collection.
Collection/Delivery
The collection of goods shall be by prior arrangement with the Quarry Manager. This will normally be at the times of opening as displayed at the site entrance and contained within the seller’s information literature and also on the company’s website. Where possible this will be confirmed by the seller as advised by the buyer on the acknowledgement of order. This will include the date and time of expected collection with the haulage arrangement details usually the haulage company name as designated on the vehicle, vehicle registration number and the name of driver.
Whilst on site the buyer or his agent will be obliged to report to the site office at which time a copy of the seller’s site health and safety procedures and collection system and procedures will be made available for inspection. The buyer or his agent representative will be expected to observe and be aware of all health and safety issues brought to their attention by way of warnings on signage visible at the entrance and other locations on site.
Passing of Risk
The seller will not accept liability for damaged products once loaded onto transport and past the weighbridge. It will therefore be the responsibility of the vehicle driver to ensure all loads are fully secured and checked as such before leaving the site.
Title to the Goods
The seller hereby informs the buyer that full ownership and title to the goods sold from the site remains with the seller until full settlement of this and other debts incurred by the buyer has been paid in full.
Payment and Credit accounts
The Sellers accounts address is Heritage Quarry Group Limited, The Estate Office, Quarry Farm, Banbury Road, Great Tew, Chipping Norton, Oxford OX7 4BT and all accounts related matters should be directed in the first instance to the Company’s Financial Controller. The seller will expect a guaranteed method of payment at the time of collection of goods unless the buyer has been provided with credit account facilities confirmed in writing by the seller. Failure by the buyer to settle all accounts in full and on time, that is no later than 30 days after collection of goods, will automatically alert our credit control procedures and as a result the seller therefore maintains the right to refuse further collections until payment has been made in full and/or the credit account has been brought within a previously agreed credit limit. Credit account facilities can be withdrawn without further notice. The seller maintains the right to charge interest on all late payments at 1.5% per month.
Quantity measurement
The quantity collected will be determined by the weighbridge record using the data of weight driven over the weighbridge on exiting the site deducted from the weight driven over the weighbridge on entering. This quantity will be recorded on a weighbridge ticket to confirm the quantity of goods collected as agreed by the weighbridge operator and the buyer’s agent normally the driver.
Limitation of Liability
The seller’s warranty of the product will not extend pass the day of collection.
Assignment
The seller maintains the right to refuse the buyer to assign the goods without their prior consent and should the seller need to they should be able to assign the goods without the buyers consent.
Force Majeure
The seller shall not be liable for any failure to perform any of its obligations under these terms if such failure arises from circumstances beyond its reasonable control examples given could include acts of God, industrial action, freak weather conditions, defaults of suppliers. This is not an exhaustive list and is only given as possible examples.
Termination of contract / non-collection of goods
Both the seller and buyer should whenever possible give sufficient notice, normally 24 hours to terminate the contract of sale and/or collection of goods. This should whenever possible be communicated in writing with a full explanation given.
Communications
For the sake of argument all important and relevant communications by either party should be put in writing and notified as such to either the seller’s or buyer’s known address.
Confidentiality
The seller will treat all information provided by the buyer as strictly confidential and agrees not to disclose any information to any third party unless the buyer is pursued by the seller through a third party and possibly the law courts for non-payment of debts due to them.
Loss of Business
The seller cannot accept any responsibility for the loss of business on the part of the buyer caused directly or indirectly by the activities of the seller in performing its obligations in the contract of sale other than where covered by the seller’s standard Public liability insurance. A copy of the insurance certificate is displayed for the general public’s interest at the site office.
