All deliveries and services by Associated Pallets Ltd due to on-line orders or any other orders are subject to the following General Terms and Conditions.
Any deviant and/or additional agreements shall require the explicit approval of the managing board or an authorised person and have to be in writing; this also applies for any waiver of the written-form requirement.
As our offer applies for contractors only, no express contractual or legal right of cancellation applies and we grant no option to return received goods as would otherwise be available to private customers.

Unless otherwise explicitly stipulated, the delivery dates given in order confirmations are not binding.
Associated Pallets Ltd will stick to delivery dates as far as possible. Next day deliveries must be ordered and placed before 12.00pm to receive the next working day. Any orders after this time may be delivered two working days after the ordering date.
