4. COMPLAINTS & CLAIMS
RICHARD GOULD tries to meet the highest standards when providing the Site and the Interactive Services. We take any Complaints we receive about this very seriously. We encourage people to bring any Complaints to our attention and We welcome any suggestions for improving our procedures. We will try and solve any disagreements quickly and efficiently. If You are not happy with the way Richard Gould or Hymac Parts and Spares deals with any complaint, and You wish to take court proceedings, You must do this within England. Relevant English law will apply to this Agreement.
All Claims in respect of loss or damage to a Consignment must comply with the procedure for Claims and must be set out on a Claim Form which You must request from us in writing.
All Claims must be received in writing by RICHARD GOULD within 14 days of the date of delivery in the case of damage, and within 30 days of the collection date, in the case of loss (‘Claim Time Limits’). Should Customer fail to comply with the Claim Time Limits specified in this Clause, You release RICHARD GOULD from all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential and direct and indirect) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with the potential Claim to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Notwithstanding the fact that a Claim is submitted in compliance with the procedure for Claims and within the Claim Time Limit, We are not obliged to act on any Claim (whether submitted by a RICHARD GOULD Credit Account holder or otherwise) until our Charges have been paid in full which shall not be retrospective.
Where the Claim is in respect of damage, in order for us to consider a Claim, the Items along with the original packaging should be made available to us for inspection.
Where the Claim is in respect of loss, You must grant RICHARD GOULD a search window of up to thirty (30) days where an agreed time limit was in force in respect of the relevant RICHARD GOULD Services, or sixty (60) days where no time limit was agreed which shall run from the date You notified us in writing of the loss i.e. non-delivery.
Where the Claim is in respect of Damage, note the following:
Where exterior packaging is discovered damaged upon delivery at the Delivery Point, Customer must procure that Consignee signs for the Consignment as ‘exterior packaging damaged’. Customer is advised to further procure that Consignee undertakes an inspection of the Items inside the Consignment at the Delivery Point and expressly signs for the Consignment Items as ‘damaged’ or ‘not-damaged’. It is acknowledged that this is not always going to be practicable, however, it is advisable to support any Claim that may ensue.
In the event that the Items are found to be damaged at the Delivery Point upon inspection by Consignee and it is further held that the Items have been Correctly, Consignee is advised to sign for such Items as ‘damaged’, evidence of which shall go to support the Claim in respect of damage in transit.
In the event that the Items are found to be damaged by Consignee at a later point but still within the Claim Time Limit, RICHARD GOULD shall consider any Claim that may ensue but such Claim will not have the support of an inspection having been duly carried out.
All Claims for damage will go through a full investigation and must be brought within the Claim Time Limit. Failing which, You shall forfeit any chance to submit a Claim.
If Consignee refuses to, or fails to, declare the state of the exterior packaging upon receipt of delivery at the Delivery Point, then notwithstanding the actual state of the Packaging, the Items therein shall be deemed to be ‘not damaged’.
If Consignee inspects the Consignment subsequent to the Items having been moved to another location by Consignee or under Consignee’s direction, or having been unpacked from their original Packaging, such actions may invalidate RICHARD GOULD insurance conditions and therefore Your ability to file a Claim if damage to the Items is subsequently reported albeit within the Claim Time Limit. You acknowledge that due to standard industry insurance conditions, the act of moving the duly delivered Consignment in this way. You are advised to inspect the state of the Items prior to this to ensure that any Claim for damaged Items will not be invalidated.
