These Terms
& Conditions (“Terms”) set out the terms and conditions applicable to the
purchase of products and services from Millennium Limited via Millennium’s
online shop at shop.millennium.ltd.uk (the “Website”).
All orders placed via the website are subject to your acceptance of these
terms.
This is an
important document and affects your rights and obligations. It also includes
exclusions and limitations that apply to you. These Terms may be subject to
change by Seller without individual notice, although changes will not affect
Contracts that have already come into existence prior to the change. You will be
asked to agree to the Terms every time you place an order on the Website.
Definitions
In these Terms:
"Customer" or "you" means the person purchasing Products or Services through the
Website, as identified in the information submitted via the Website at the time
of ordering or by reference to a pre-agreed unique identifying Order number.
"Products" mean the products offered for sale through the Website.
“Seller”, “we” or “us” means Millennium Ltd, a company registered in England,
registration number 3466920, VAT number 716 7031 49, with its registered office
address at 17 Midland Court, Oakham, Rutland, LE15 6RA.
"Manufacturer" means the manufacturer of the Products, or provider of Services,
offered for sale through the Website.
“Services” shall mean the support or other services offered for sale through the
Website.
1. Orders
and Acceptance
1.1 You acknowledge and accept that any order ("Order") you place by
using the Website will be fulfilled by Seller, and that any purchase contract
("Contract") resulting from your Order will be a Contract between you and
Seller. You acknowledge that Seller is the owner of the receivable created by
each Contract and accordingly your debit/credit card remittance will be made to
Seller or an authorised billing agent of Seller, as directed by Seller.
1.2
Your Order is
an offer to purchase from us. You are responsible for ensuring the
accuracy of the terms of your Order. The supply of information about Products
and Services including prices, specifications and other details on the Website
is only an invitation to treat. The Seller may send you a confirmation of your
Order by email but there will be no Contract of any kind between you and the
Seller unless and until the Seller dispatches the Products to you or commences
provision of the Services. Nothing that we do or say will amount to acceptance
of your offer until we dispatch the Products to you or commence provision of the
Services.
1.3
Seller reserves the right to refuse to accept any Order, at its sole discretion,
and without giving any reason. Acceptance of an Order for Products by the Seller
will always be subject to availability of Products. Seller shall accept Orders
at the time the Products are dispatched or upon commencing provision of the
services (and not before). Upon Seller’s acceptance of an Order, a binding
Contract will be made between you and Seller and you will receive an email with
full invoice details as the sole confirmation of the Contract.
1.4
These Terms may not be supplemented, altered or modified by the use of any other
documents or oral communications unless agreed in writing by Seller.
2. Price and Payment
2.1 The prices of the Products and Services are stated on the Website,
subject to section 2.2 below. Prices are subject to change without prior notice,
however, price changes do not affect Contracts made after Seller’s acceptance of
the Order. All prices include VAT, unless otherwise stated. Prices do not
include shipping and handling charges which will be charged at the rates
applicable at the date you place your Order, details of which are provided on
the Website
2.2
Prices shown on the website may not always be correct due to input errors,
software and similar factors. In such cases, seller shall not be liable to
supply that product to you at the stated price. Notwithstanding any
acceptance by Seller of your Order, if there has been a material or obvious
pricing error by Seller, Seller shall be entitled within 15 days of its
acceptance of the Order to either invoice the Customer for the Product’s true
list price (not exceeding the prevailing market price at retail level) at the
date of the Order or, at your request, collect the Product at Seller's expense
and credit the Customer for any charges (e.g. price and shipping) charged by
Seller.
2.3
Payment of the price is due as indicated on the Website and shall only be made
by credit or debit card from a card issuer acceptable to Seller. You must give
authority for payment at the time of placing the Order. Payment by credit debit
card shall be made simultaneously with the acceptance of the Order by Seller
(i.e. you will not be charged until the Products are dispatched or the Services
commence). If the card issuer refuses to approve the transaction or if Seller
does not receive the funds from your credit card issuer then there is no
acceptance of the Order by Seller or any valid sales Contract.
2.4
In the event of your withdrawal of your payment by credit card, before or after
your receipt of the Products or Services, Seller may cancel the Contract and you
agree to return to Seller any Product or Service delivered to you.
2.5
Ownership of the Products shall not pass to you until Seller has received, in
cash or cleared funds, payment in full of the price of the Products together
with any other charges under the Contract (e.g. delivery charges). In the case
of software, transfer of ownership refers only to the media or material
containing the software, excluding the software or programs (or any part of the
software or programs).
2.6
All risk of
loss or damage to the Products and all responsibilities due to existence or
ownership of the Products, for whatever reason, are transferred to Customer upon
arrival of the carrier at the Customer's delivery address or at the collection
point advised by the carrier.
3. Delivery
3.1 Products and Services will be delivered to the Customer's address
specified in the Order or made available for collection at the collection point
advised by the carrier. Please note that we can only deliver Products within the
United Kingdom subject to payment of the delivery charges applicable to each
delivery destination. Seller will be responsible for insurance and risk of
Products and Services up to the point of delivery. Seller shall be entitled to
assume that any person who both reasonably appears and claims to have authority
to accept delivery and who signs a note in respect of the Products on behalf of
the Customer does in fact have such authority.
3.2
Time of
delivery is an estimate only. Seller shall not be liable and shall not be
obligated to compensate for any late delivery of Products or Services. In the
event that the Products and Services have not been delivered within a reasonable
time from the estimated delivery date, you may call the Call Centre. Please
quote your Contract or Order number and such other details as may be available
to assist the Call Centre agent to track the status of the delivery and to give
a new estimated delivery date. Where the new estimated delivery date is more
than one month from the initial delivery date the Customer shall have the right
to cancel the Contract without other liability for the Seller than to refund the
purchase price paid by the Customer.
3.3
Upon delivery to the Customer's address or collection point, the Customer (or
such other person as accepts delivery) may be asked to sign to acknowledge
receipt of the Products and/or Services. The Customer shall bear all costs
associated with the unjustified refusal of delivery of Products. If refusal is
made on the grounds that the Order was wrongly placed by the Customer (e.g.
wrong Product ordered) and the refusal is accepted by Seller, Seller reserves
its right to charge additional fees for return transportation and administrative
expenses related thereto, and original carriage costs will not be reimbursed. In
the event that Seller or its agents should seek to deliver Products and Services
to the agreed address and delivery cannot be made due to your or your agent’s
absence, the Seller reserves the right to charge you a repeat delivery charge.
Such charge will depend on Seller's actual costs and the Product price but will
not exceed £50 per repeated delivery and shall be payable by Customer upon
receipt of Seller's invoice for the same.
3.4
Delivery charges are payable by Customer and are invoiced in addition to the
selling price of Products, as indicated on the Website.
3.5
In case your Order indicates a delivery address outside the UK the Seller
reserves the right to refuse to accept the Order
4. Delivery
4.1 Acceptance of Products and Services is deemed to take place on
delivery to the shipping address set out in your Order or on collection at the
collection point advised by the carrier.
4.2
Customer has the duty to notify the carrier (by reservations on the shipping
documents) about any visible damages and under-shipments in respect of the
delivered Products in order to preserve the right of recourse against Seller or
its carrier.
4.3
In the event of any defects in the Product or Services detected after delivery
the Customer may make a warranty claim in accordance with the warranty terms
described in the documentation accompanying the Products or as otherwise
communicated by Seller on the Website or otherwise.
5. Warranty Terms
5.1 If you are a consumer (as defined by law) the limitations in this
section 5 do not limit your legal rights against the seller with respect to
defective products or servoces as prescribed by mandatory consumer protection
legislation. See further details about consumer rights in section 9 below.
5.2
The Products will be subject to the Manufacturer's warranty terms, where
applicable.
5.3
Seller does
not warrant any Products and shall not be liable for any defect or malfunction
of any Product sold through the Website, except as otherwise prescribed by law.
Seller and Manufacturers do not offer any warranties unless specified in the
Contract, in documentation accompanying the Products or on the Website. Subject
to section 5.3, Seller will only accept liability for defective Products under
the warranty terms to the extent that Seller is entitled to make a claim under
the Manufacturer's Dead on Arrival (DOA), warranty or other defective goods
terms and actually obtains compensation in form of a refund, credit, repair or
replacement. “DOA” means that the Product cannot be installed or does not work
properly upon first installation or use.
5.4
Subject to sections 5.1, 7 and 9, this section 5 represents the sole and single
contractual warranty offered by Seller, to the exclusion of any other warranty
whether implied or not regarding the quality, performance and the purpose for
which you have intended the Products to be used for.
5.5
The Products
are subject to the intellectual property rights of the Manufacturers. Customer
is not authorised to alter, cover or remove any reference to such intellectual
property rights on the Products, and shall adhere to any guidelines and
restrictions provided by the Manufacturers with respect to such rights. Seller
shall have no duty to defend, indemnify or hold Customer harmless from and
against any or all claims brought against Customer or damages and costs incurred
by Customer arising from the infringement of a third party's intellectual
property rights, except to the extent the Manufacturers has offered to Seller
such defence or indemnification on a pass through basis. Upon threat of claim or
claim of infringement, Seller may, at its option (i) procure the right to
continue using any part of Product, (ii) replace the infringing Product with a
non-infringing Product of similar performance, or (iii) refund to the Customer
the purchase price paid by the Customer for the infringing Product. Subject
always to section 7.3 but notwithstanding any other terms or conditions to the
contrary, Seller’s liability for infringement of intellectual property rights
under these Terms shall not exceed the Customer's purchase price for the
infringing Products.
6. Warranty exclusions
6.1 All warranties, conditions or other terms implied by common law or
statute or otherwise in connection with the sale or supply of Products or
Services (save, in the case of Products, as to title) are excluded to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
6.2
Customer shall have no rights or claims under any warranty following the
non-usage or non-enjoyment of defective Products. Seller shall be under no
liability in respect of any defect arising from fair wear and tear, wilful
damage, negligence, abnormal working conditions, failure to follow the Seller's
or the Manufacturer's user manuals or instructions (whether oral or in writing)
misuse or alteration or repair of the Products without prior approval.
6.3
The warranty offered by Manufacturers or provided herein does not cover: (i)
damage during installation, use, modifications or repairs done by your or
non-authorised third parties; (ii) external causes; (iii) the use of the Product
for particular or unforeseen purposes; (iv) third party products, software and
integrated components following your request and specifications; such warranties
(if any) are offered directly by the Manufacturer; or (v) any modification of
the Products based upon a request from you and correctly executed by Seller or
the Manufacturer. Any modification of the Product made without the Seller’s or
Manufacturer’s approval may invalidate the warranty.
7. Limitation of Liability
7.1 Subject always to section 7.3 below, for any breach of these Terms,
or of any Contract, the Seller's maximum liability shall not in any event exceed
the total purchase price of the Products or Services payable under any
individual Contract.
7.2
Subject always to section 7.3 below, in no event shall Seller be liable for any
damages resulting from loss of data, loss of use, lost profits, loss of
anticipated savings or any indirect or consequential damages whatsoever.
7.3
Nothing in this Agreement shall exclude or limit the Seller’s liability for
fraud or for death or personal injury due to its own negligence or its
employees’ or agents’ negligence whilst acting in the course of their employment
or any breach of any obligations implied by Section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act
1979 or Section 2 of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982.
7.4
The limitations and exclusions set out in sections 7.1 and 7.2 will apply
regardless of the form of action whether under statute, in contract or tort,
including negligence or any other form of action.

meant for the Customer's use and not for resale.
8.2

the purchase of the Products or the provision of Services, Customer will in the
first instance contact the Call Centre to address such rights or claims.

will not export, re-export, or otherwise dispose of Products, or direct products
thereof, in violation of any export control laws or regulations of the USA or
any EU/EFTA member state. You shall not export or re-export any Products with
knowledge that they will be used in the design, development, production, or use
of chemical, biological, nuclear, or ballistic weapons, or in a facility engaged
in such activities, unless Customer has obtained prior approval from the U.S.
Department of Commerce or any other competent government agency. You also agree
that you will not export or re-export, directly or indirectly, any Products to
embargoed countries or sell Products to companies or individuals listed on the

statements of each and every web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy statement applies solely to information collected by

Security
This website takes every precaution to protect our users' information. When
users submit sensitive information via the website, your information is
protected both online and off-line. When our registration / order form asks
users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that
information is encrypted and is protected with the encryption software SSL.
While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of
Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes
locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when you are just 'surfing'. While we
use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do
everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users'
information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted
in our offices. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific
job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are
granted access to personally identifiable information. Furthermore, ALL
employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Any time
new policies are added our employees are notified and/or reminded about the
importance we place on privacy, and what they can do to ensure our customers'
information is protected. Finally, the servers that we store personally
identifiable information on are kept in a secure environment, behind a locked
cage. If you have any questions about the security at our website, you can send
an email to
enquiries@millennium.ltd.uk
11.10
Supplementation of Information
In order for this website to properly fulfil its obligation to our customers, it
is necessary for us to supplement the information we receive with information
from 3rd party sources. In order to improve our ability to tailor the site to an
individual's preference, we combine information about the purchasing habits of
users with similar information from our partners to create a personalized user
profile.
11.11

We send all new members a welcoming email to verify password and username.
Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services,
special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we
present the option to not receive these types of communications. Please see our
choice and opt-out below.
11.12
Site and Service Updates
We also send users site and service announcement updates. Members are not able
to un-subscribe from service announcements, which contain important information
about the service. We communicate with the user to provide requested services
and in regards to issues relating to their account via email or phone.
11.13
Correction/Updating Personal Information
If a user's personally identifiable information changes (such as your post
code), or if a user no longer desires our service, we will endeavour to provide
a way to correct, update or remove that user's personal data provided to us.
This can usually be done at the member information page or by emailing our
E-Commerce Support Team.
11.14
Choice/Opt-out
Our users are given the opportunity to 'opt-out' of having their information
used for purposes not directly related to our site at the point where we ask for
the information. For example, our order form has an 'opt-out' mechanism so users
who buy a product from us, but don't want any marketing material, can keep their
email address off of our lists. Users who no longer wish to receive our
newsletter or promotional materials from our partners may opt-out of receiving
these communications by replying with "unsubscribe" in the subject line in the
email or email us at
enquiries@millennium.ltd. Users of our site are always notified when their
information is being collected by any outside party. We do this so our users can
make an informed choice as to whether they should proceed with services that
require an outside party, or not.
11.15
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes on our
Homepage so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we
use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If at any point we
decide to use personally identifiable information in a manner different from
that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by way of an
email or by post. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their
information in this different manner.
