2. CONDITIONS

2.1 In these Conditions references to any statute or statutory provision shall, unless the context otherwise requires, be construed as:

2.1.1 including any subordinate legislation made under it; and

2.1.2 a reference to that statute or statutory provision from time to time amended, consolidated, modified, extended or replaced.

2.2 So far as they are not expressly varied in writing by the Company on the Company’s notepaper or otherwise varied following the written agreement between the Parties, these Conditions shall apply to all Contracts for the provision of Goods and/or Services by the Company to the Customer to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions, including any terms and conditions which the Customer may purport to apply under any purchase order, confirmation of order or similar document or which are implied by law, trade custom, practice or course of dealing.

2.3 From time to time, the Customer shall submit a written request to the Company for the provision of Goods and/or Services and provide the Company with as much information as the Company reasonably requests in order to prepare a Quotation (including any Submitted Designs, Customer Materials, details of the Customer’s requirements and any relevant deadlines).

2.4 Following receipt of the information requested from the Customer, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, either:

2.4.1 reject the Customer’s request for the provision of Goods and/or Services; or

2.5 If the Company provides the Customer with a Quotation pursuant to clause 2.4.2, the Company and the Customer shall discuss and agree that Quotation. The Customer acknowledges that the Quotation is an estimate of price and is for information only and does not constitute an offer by the Company to provide the Goods and/or Services referred to in it and the Company shall be entitled to withdraw or modify the terms of the Quotation at any time prior to the issuing of an Order Confirmation.

In entering into the Contract each Party acknowledges that it does not rely on and waives any claim for breach of any such representations which are not so expressly confirmed in the Contract.

They shall not form part of the Contract nor have any contractual force.


3. ORDERS AND SPECIFICATION

3.1 Where the Contract requires or involves the design of any Goods and/or Exhibition Materials, then:

3.1.1 the Company shall develop Company Designs which reflect the Customer’s requirements; or

3.1.2 the Customer shall provide the Company with Submitted Designs, following which the Parties shall (subject to clause 3.9) either agree for the Company to:

(a) use the Submitted Designs to develop a Company Design which reflects and incorporates the Customer’s requirements; or

(b) produce the Goods and/or Exhibition Materials in accordance with the Submitted Designs, in which case the Submitted Designs will be deemed to be the Final Designs.

3.2 In the circumstances described in clauses 3.1.1 and 3.1.2(a):

3.2.1 as soon as reasonably practicable after the Commencement Date, the Customer shall deliver proposed Acceptance Criteria to the Company for the testing of the Company Designs. These Acceptance Criteria shall be such as are reasonably required to show that the Company Designs materially reflect the Customer’s requirements. The Company shall provide the Customer with reasonable assistance to prepare such Acceptance Criteria at the Customer’s request. The Parties shall use all reasonable endeavours to agree the Acceptance Criteria for the Company Designs no later than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery to the Company of the proposed Acceptance Criteria;

3.2.2 the Company shall produce the Company Designs and promptly test such Company Designs against the Acceptance Criteria;

3.2.3 if the Customer, acting reasonably, considers that the Company Designs do not meet the Acceptance Criteria, the Customer shall, within three (3) Business Days from the completion of the relevant tests or any part of these tests, provide a written notice to this effect, giving details of such failure(s). The Company shall remedy the defects and/or deficiencies and the relevant test(s) shall be repeated within a reasonable time; and

3.2.4 the Company Designs shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Customer on the earlier of:

(a) the Customer confirming to the Company that the Company Designs meet the Acceptance Criteria; and

(b) the expiry of three (3) Business Days from the Company’s completion of the testing of the Company Designs against the Acceptance Criteria, at which point the Company Designs shall be deemed to become the Final Designs.

3.3 The Company shall produce the Goods and/or Exhibition Materials in accordance with the Final Designs.

3.4 The Company shall not be liable for any loss or damage howsoever caused arising from any and all errors in either any Submitted Designs which the Customer has not corrected in writing to the Company or any Final Designs. The Customer shall be responsible to the Company for ensuring:

3.4.1 the accuracy of the Submitted Designs and Final Design and of the terms of any order (including any applicable specifications) submitted by the Customer; and

3.4.2 that the Submitted Designs and Final Designs and any applicable specifications meet all necessary requirements and are suitable for the purpose for which the Goods and/or Services are required.

3.5 The Customer shall promptly provide to the Company all information and instructions reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the provision of Goods and/or Services (including in relation to any Submitted Design and the Final Design, Exhibition timings and Exhibition access requirements) within a sufficient time to enable the Company to perform the Contract in accordance with its terms and in any case within any reasonable time period notified by the Company to the Customer. Delivery and/or the performance of Services may be delayed if the Customer provides inconsistent or incomplete information and the Company shall be entitled to make additional charges to the Price if it is necessary to make modifications to the specifications provided by the Customer.

3.6 If any Goods and/or Exhibition Materials are to be manufactured or any process is to be applied to the Goods and/or Exhibition Materials by the Company in accordance with a Final Design that is a Submitted Design in accordance with clause 3.1.2(b), the Customer shall indemnify the Company against all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses awarded against or incurred by the Company arising from, in connection with or paid or agreed to be paid by the Company in settlement of any claim for infringement of any third party Intellectual Property Rights or other rights which results from such Final Designs.

3.7 Goods and Exhibition Materials shall be manufactured and assembled by the Company in accordance with any Final Designs and any other specifications set out in the Order Confirmation or as otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing. Where the Customer has specific requirements in respect of but not limited to colour and/or size for the specifications of the Goods and/or Services, the Customer shall inform the Company of these requirements when submitting a written request to the Company for the provision of Goods and/or Services in accordance with clause 2.3 and shall ensure the accuracy thereof. The Company will not be held responsible for minor discrepancies to the Goods and/or Services where the Customer did not make these known in advance to the Company. Unless specified in a Final Design, the Order Confirmation or otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the Company, all specifications are approximate and are subject to reasonable margins and tolerances.

3.8 The Company shall use reasonable endeavours to maintain and ensure that any colour matches of the Goods and/or Exhibition Materials are accurate and consistent between one dye batch and another but the Company shall give no guarantee to the Customer of exact colour matches of the Goods and/or Exhibition Materials against any samples or goods previously supplied. All colour degenerates over time. A colour shift from the original may therefore occur.

3.9 Where the Customer provides Submitted Designs, the Company shall be entitled to reject any such Submitted Designs (or any specifications and/or materials supplied and/or specified by the Customer as part of such Submitted Designs) which the Company in its judgment considers unsuitable, unworkable or unreasonable.


4. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

4.1 All Intellectual Property Rights used in connection with the provision of Goods and/or Services which have been generated prior to the Commencement Date or outside the scope of a Contract (“Background IP”) shall remain the property of the Party that developed them. The Parties agree that any improvements or modifications to a Party’s Background IP arising from the provision of Goods and/or Services which are not severable from that Background IP will be deemed to form part of that Party’s Background IP and, as between the Parties, shall be owned by that Party. Each Party acknowledges and confirms that nothing contained in a Contract shall give it any right, title or interest in or to the Background IP of the other Party except as granted by a Contract.

Subject to anything else to the contrary in a Contract or otherwise agreed in writing by the relevant Party, the Parties shall not use the Background IP of the other Party for any other purpose or disclose it to any third party or use it other than for the purposes of exercising its rights and/or performing its obligations under a Contract.

The Company grants the Customer a non-exclusive, royalty-free, non-transferrable, non-sublicensable, worldwide licence to use and reproduce Company Designs and Final Designs (except where the latter is a Submitted Design in accordance with clause 3.1.2(b)) to produce Customer Materials for use at any Exhibitions in respect of which a Contract exists between the Parties.

4.5 Subject to clauses 4.1, 4.3, to the extent that the Company is not already the owner, the Customer hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys to the Company (by way of present and future assignment) absolutely with full title guarantee all Intellectual Property Rights, title and interest in all and any part of the world in the Goods, the Final Design and all other Exhibition Materials for the full term of such rights and all renewals and extensions, together with all accrued rights of action.

4.6 The Customer recognises that Company has the unlimited right to edit, copy, alter, add to, take from and adapt the Final Design. The Customer irrevocably and unconditionally waives any and all moral rights which they or any third party may have, and shall procure that any contributor does likewise, anywhere in the world in the Final Design, so that the Company and any third party may use and adapt the Final Design in whatsoever way the Company or such third party determines without infringing such moral rights including the right to be identified, the right of integrity and the right against false attribution.

4.7 The Customer grants the Company the right to use and copy the Final Design and any images and/or video footage (and any other visual representations) of the Exhibition Materials and/or the Exhibition for the purpose of promoting the Company’s business, prior work and reputation to third parties and also grants the Company consent to feature the same on their website and within any hard copy materials (including brochures).

4.8 The Customer agrees to do such acts and execute such documents as the Company may reasonably require to vest in or confirm to the Company or (as appropriate) its successors in title and licensees all Intellectual Property Rights and any other rights assigned or granted or purported to be assigned or granted by the Customer to the Company under a Contract.

4.9 Each Party warrants to the other Party that the Parties’ use, in accordance with a Contract, of any Intellectual Property Rights provided by it in relation to a Contract will not, so far as each Party is aware, infringe the Intellectual Property Rights or any other rights of any third party.

4.10 The obligations of this clause 4 shall continue after expiry or termination of a Contract for whatever reason.

9.9.1 store the Goods, Exhibition Materials and/or Customer Materials until actual delivery takes place and charge the Customer Storage Fees accordingly; or

9.9.2 (in the event of the Customer failing to take delivery within 7 days after the Company has notified the Customer that the Goods, Exhibition Materials and/or Customer Materials are ready for delivery) sell or otherwise dispose of the Goods, Exhibition Materials and/or Customer Materials at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all Storage Fees and any expenses incurred in selling or disposing of the Goods, Exhibition Materials and/or Customer Materials) account to the Customer for the excess over the Price or charge the Customer for any shortfall below the Price.
