A) Scope
1. The product range of Lift Truck Sales (“we” or “the Supplier”), whose registered office is at Ballycurreen, Airport Road, Cork, applies exclusively to businesses in the Republic of Ireland. This means that we only deliver to business Customers with their registered office (billing address) within the Republic of Ireland, who are able to specify a delivery address within the Republic of Ireland. Should Customers outside the Republic of Ireland contact us to obtain a quote for any Product listed in the Online Store, we will redirect the request to our Online Store in the country where the Customer is located.
3. These General Online Terms and Conditions (“GTC”) shall apply to all transactions regarding new and used products (“Products”) and services (“Services”), concluded via our Online Store with companies (“the Customer”). The Customer's terms and conditions shall not apply. INCOTERMS 2010 shall also apply for the interpretation of commercial terms.
4. With each update to the Online Store all prices and descriptions of Products previously displayed in our Online Store become null and void.
5. The formation, existence, construction, performance, validity and all aspects of these GTC shall be governed by the laws of the Republic of Ireland, whose courts are the courts of exclusive jurisdiction.
B) Formation and object of the contract
1. The presentation of our Products and Service offer visible in the Online Store, including related illustrations and drawings, and dimensions, weight and performance data, shall not constitute a legally binding offer, but an invitation for submission of an offer by the Customer.
2. When an order has been placed the Customers receives an e-mail confirmation of receipt entitled "Thank you for your order"-email. This confirmation of receipt is information about the content of the order. It does not constitute acceptance of the Customer’s order, merely confirmation of receipt thereof. When the order is confirmed by back-office personnel, the Customer receives an email confirmation entitled "Your order confirmation."
An order is deemed accepted by the Supplier and a binding agreement between the parties concluded upon order confirmation. However, the Customer is bound by the order after order placement.
During order placement the Customer can select financing options, to which the conditions specified in sections C and G apply.
Before the order is sent, the Customer can at any time change the information or correct any input errors. The ordering process can be interrupted at any time before the Customer clicks on the "Submit Order" by simply closing the browser window.
2. We aim to process orders within 2 working days by issuing an order confirmation including order data and the agreement via e-mail for the Customer to save/print. The agreement must be in English. We do not issue a confirmation if the product is not available. Instead the Customer will be contacted with alternatives. The validity of the contract is subject to our written or electronic order confirmation transmitted to the Customer by standard commercial means of dispatch (e-mail, fax, letter, etc.) following receipt of payment in accordance with section C.
3. Our written order confirmation is binding as to the description of the nature and scope of the Products ordered by a Customer. If the order confirmation (including the price of the order) differs from the Customer’s order, the Customer will be considered in agreement to our order confirmation (including the price of the order) unless we are notified by the Customer without delay. If the prices of individual Products change after an order is made, we reserve the right to adjust prices.
4. We reserve the right to deviate from contractually agreed parameters where such deviations are customary in the trade. This shall apply in particular to colour variations and technical modifications by the manufacturer, provided that they have no effect on fitness for use and agreed quality.
5. Agreements, in particular verbal agreements, promises, commitments and obligations, guarantees and assurances made by our sales staff shall be binding only with our written confirmation.
6. Unless otherwise specified, ordered Products will be assembled by us before delivery. If otherwise specified, assembly will be performed by the Customer at the Customer’s cost. If the Customer instructs us to perform the installation, the terms and conditions of installation included with the quote shall apply in addition.
7. We use industry standard encryption protocol known as Secure Socket Layer (SSL) to keep your order information secure. This means all of your personal information, including your credit card number, name and address cannot be accessed by anyone other than authorized users pursuant to our privacy policy.
8. We retain the unrestricted intellectual property rights (including without limitation copyrights, design rights and trademarks as well as commercial patent rights) to the Products, cost estimates, drawings, pictures, Product illustrations, Product films and all other content including multimedia content of the Online Store. Any use, dissemination, in particular transmission, duplication, publication and provision, including copies in excerpted form of any Products and/or content in the Online Store, requires our express prior written consent.
9. The Product videos and images available on our website are intended for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Products described in them only and do not provide any guarantee and/or warranty as to the Products and their performance of any nature whatsoever regarding the products advertised. For used/refurbished products a reference image for that Product model can be shown instead of an image of the individual Product. For the avoidance of doubt, our written order confirmation is binding for the description of the nature and scope of our Products.

The "Per Product" cost is a flat rate based on the weight, or volume and calculated on the assumption that no ramp is available at Customers delivery address and located with the range of 200 km from Supplier’s local depot. If additional shipping charges apply, the Supplier will inform the Customer and the charge appear on the order confirmation.
