QUOTATIONS

2.1 The Company’s quotations are valid for 30 days, subject to stock availability and without obligation.

2.3 The Company is entitled to refuse any offer or order from the Buyer without having to give any reason.

DELIVERIES

3.1 Any dates specified by the Company for delivery of the Goods are intended to be an estimate only and time for delivery shall not be made of the essence by notice. If no dates are so specified, delivery shall be within a reasonable time. If a delivery date is quoted, the Goods may be delivered by the Company or by a third-party supplier in advance of the quoted delivery date upon giving reasonable notice to the Buyer.

3.2 Goods will be delivered to the delivery address supplied by the Buyer. The Buyer is considered to have given authority to accept a delivery on its behalf to any person who accepts delivery at the delivery address.

3.3 Subject to the other provisions of these conditions the Company shall not be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss (all three of which terms include, without limitation, pure economic loss, loss of profits, loss of business, damage to the Buyer’s property or property of another person or body, personal injury or death to the Buyer or any other person other than that caused by the Company’s negligence, depletion of goodwill and similar loss), costs, damages, charges or expenses caused directly or indirectly by any delay in the delivery of the Goods (even if caused by the Company’s negligence), nor shall any reasonable delay entitle the Buyer to terminate or rescind the Contract.

(a) risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer

(c) the Company may store the Goods until delivery.

We may demand that the invoiced amount is paid as if delivery had taken place. All expenses incurred as a result of late delivery or in the event that delivery is not possible, will be charged to the Buyer.

3.5 If the Company delivers in instalments to the Buyer, then each instalment is a separate Contract. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid for in accordance with the provisions of the Contract. No cancellation or termination of any one Contract relating to an instalment shall entitle the Buyer to repudiate or cancel any other Contract or instalment. If payment is not made to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Contract then the Company may withhold or cancel delivery of any other of the Buyer’s Orders which have not yet been delivered.

PRICES

4.1

(c) The Company reserves the right to charge additional carriage on specified deliveries where they may fall outside the normal delivery area or fall below a previously agreed value level.

5.2 The Buyer 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 Buyer has a valid court order requiring an amount equal to such deduction to be paid by the Company to the Buyer.

DATA PROTECTION

Data collected by the Company in the course of its business dealings will be retained in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and any prevailing privacy, use or data protection policy in force from time to time by the Company. Some or all of that data may be personal data that is subject to the Data Protection Act 1988 & 2003 and the General Data Protection Regulation. The data supplied to the Company will be processed by it to execute the Buyer’s Order, to monitor the Buyer’s account, to select and send to the Buyer marketing material and periodically to conduct trade and bank reference enquiries and other credit checks. This will involve the disclosure of the Buyer’s data to and from third parties. The Buyer consents to the processing of its data for those purposes. Prior to progressing the Buyer’s Order the Company will attempt to verify the Buyer’s identity (or the identity of the individual on whose behalf the Buyer is acting).

This process involves checking the details the buyer supplies against those held by credit reference agencies and scoring methods may be utilised in the verification process. A record of this process will be kept that may be used to help other companies to verify the Buyer’s identity. The Company may also pass information to organisations involved in fraud prevention to protect itself and its customers from theft and fraud. If the Buyer supplies false or inaccurate information and the Company suspects’ fraud, the Company will record this and share this information in line with any relevant legal obligations.

RETURNS

13.1 Goods ordered incorrectly by customers: Goods which customers have ordered incorrectly or no longer required can be returned to the Company once the request is made within 21 days of the goods being received. Goods must not have been opened and the packaging remains in an ‘as new’ state. Please ensure goods are placed in suitable packaging that will avoid any deterioration of the product on the return shipment. This excludes all COVID-19 related hygiene or PPE products, food/drink products, furniture items, pre-printed products or non-catalogue items ordered by customers as these cannot be returned for any reason unless faulty.

13.2 Hardware/IT Products: As we order these goods on a customer by customer basis and do not hold any direct stock. Goods classified as a hardware or IT product will be subject to a 15% re-stocking fee which is charged by the manufacturer for us to return incorrectly ordered items. Unfortunately, we cannot entertain the return of any hardware or IT product that has been opened unless it is faulty as the manufacturers will not accept any goods with broken seals or open packaging.

13.3 Products received DOA (Dead on Arrival): Any goods opened and found to be immediately faulty or not working must be submitted to the Company for processing within 48 hours of the goods being received. Once the goods have been collected and the fault has been verified by the manufacturer, a credit will be issued.

13.4 Goods faulty within the warranty period: You are entitled to a warranty repair/replacement for goods that become faulty within their stated warranty period. Some manufacturers require that the end user contact them directly regarding faulty products, and not the retailer. In such cases please contact the Company and we will be happy to supply you with the manufacturer’s contact details. The processes manufacturers have in place can determine the turnaround time to complete these queries and so they may take longer than standard return requests.

13.5 Goods damaged in transit: Must be reported to us within 48 hours. If goods are visibly damaged on receipt, please sign the delivery note accordingly. Once the damaged goods are received back into our warehouse, we will issue a full credit.

13.6 Short shipment of goods:  If you are short shipped or missing any items that appear on your delivery docket, we request that you report it to us within 48 hours. Once verified by our customer services department, a full credit will be issued.

13.7 All other return queries: Please contact us at hello@bewellatwork.ie

13.8 Important steps before returning any items:

Please note that any returns made to the Company must be accompanied by a Sales Returns Docket (SRTN). This is issued by the customer service team in the event of a return been authorised prior to goods been collected.

Any goods received by the Company without an SRTN will be returned to the customer.

The Company will arrange collection of your return once an SRTN has been issued. Please ensure that the goods are packaged in a suitable fashion and the relevant documentation is enclosed. All return parcels are to be clearly labelled with the Company address below.

Be Well At Work – A Division of Stacked Limited, Unit 4B Red Cow Business Park, Robinhood Road, Dublin 22

Please ensure that you do not write or attach any documents directly to product packaging. All goods must be shipped in outer packaging with the correct documentation and return address clearly displayed. We can only issue credits for goods where they are in a resalable condition and, so it is important that the packaging remains protected when returning the goods.

Once received and approved a credit will be issued. It is our aim to have all returns completed and credit issued within 14 days of receipt of your return request.
