The clauses that keep operations smooth

We have removed jargon and added practical examples so teams can collaborate faster. Save or export this document for procurement reviews.

1. Scope & definitions

These Terms govern all fulfilment, warehousing, and related logistics offered by H&S E-commerce LTD (“we”, “us”, “our”). By onboarding, you (“Client”) agree to the latest version published on this page.

  • “Services” include receiving, storage, pick & pack, kitting, labelling, carrier hand-off, returns, and value-added projects agreed in writing.
  • “Inventory” refers to any product, packaging, or branded material you place within our facilities.
  • “Business Day” means Monday to Friday, excluding UK public holidays.
2. Client responsibilities

Partnerships thrive when both sides are aligned. To keep fulfilment predictable, we need timely information and compliant inventory.

  • Provide accurate SKUs, barcodes, and packaging instructions at least 48h before stock arrives.
  • Maintain insurance coverage for your goods. Our insurance covers facilities, not product value unless agreed.
  • Keep your payment methods up to date and pay undisputed invoices within the agreed terms.
3. Billing & payment

We issue invoices monthly in GBP. Custom payment schedules can be arranged for enterprise programs.

  • Storage, handling, courier labels, and professional services are itemised on every statement.
  • Late payments accrue 4% above Bank of England base rate. Persistent non-payment may pause services.
  • Disputes must be raised within 10 Business Days of invoice receipt with supporting evidence.
4. Liability & limitations

We operate under UKWA-style limitations unless a bespoke liability addendum is signed.

  • Our total liability for any claim is capped at the fees paid in the previous 3 months.
  • We are not liable for consequential loss, lost profits, or carrier performance once handover is complete.
  • Claims for damaged or missing goods must be logged within 7 days of occurrence.
5. Term, renewal & suspension

Unless stated otherwise, Services renew on a rolling 12-month basis with 90 days’ termination notice.

  • Either party may terminate for convenience with written notice and settlement of outstanding balances.
  • We may suspend Services for material breach, fraudulent activity, or safety concerns.
  • Upon termination we’ll coordinate exit-stock counts and courier collections within 10 Business Days.
