TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
The following terms and conditions (“the Conditions”) are the terms on which Alta offers and sells to the buyer (“the Buyer)” and the Conditions supersede all other terms and conditions relating to the subject matter of these Conditions. Any sale agreement (“the Agreement”) between Alta and the Buyer shall be governed by the Conditions. Any variation to this clause must be by prior agreement in writing by Alta.

GOODS
The description and quantity of the goods to be sold (“the Goods”) shall be as set out in the quotation provided by Alta to the Buyer (“the Quotation”).

ACCURACY
Every effort has been made to ensure that products are described as accurately as possible, although suppliers (“the Supplier”) to Alta are constantly updating their titles and the descriptions are intended as a guide only. Screenshots are taken on various computers and may differ with computer type.

VALUE ADDED TAX
VAT will be charged in accordance with UK government regulations ruling at the time of despatch.

PRICING
The price (“the Price) for the Goods may change from time to time, without notice in the event of changes to the Price by the Supplier although Alta will use every endeavour to hold prices firm for as long as possible. The Price is quoted in pounds sterling and is payable in sterling with any transaction charges for the Buyer’s account.

PACKING AND CARRIAGE CHARGE
Our normal delivery method is by Internet. Where snail mail delivery is required, for orders delivered within the UK Alta pay for second class post and packing. First class post is available on these deliveries for an additional charge of £1 per prepaid order. Packing and carriage on all other UK orders is charged at 3% of order value subject to a minimum charge of £2.95 and a maximum charge of £9.50 plus VAT. Overseas orders are charged at cost.

PAYMENT
All invoices are payable within the terms specified upon the invoice. Payment is to be made by credit card (pre-paid orders only), sterling cheque drawn on a UK bank or bankers draft or by e-learning credits. All transaction bank charges to be paid by the Buyer, we require net funds.
We understand and will exercise our statutory right to interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 if we are not paid according to agreed credit terms.
