1. Scope
   In these terms and conditions (“Terms”) “Seller” means EV Electrical Essex Ltd. and “Buyer” means the person or entity whose order for goods is accepted by Seller. The Terms apply to all, including future, sales of goods and services, as far as not modified or excluded by Seller’s express written agreement. Buyer is deemed to have accepted the Terms when placing an order with Seller. Any terms and conditions contained in Buyer’s documentation, including but not limited to its Purchase Order, shall not be binding on Seller. This applies despite Seller’s knowledge of existing contradictory terms and conditions.

   2.3. Any advice or recommendation given by Seller or its employees or agents to Buyer including any advice as to the storage, application or use of the goods or services, which is not confirmed in writing by Seller, is followed or acted upon entirely at Buyer’s own risk, and accordingly, Seller shall not be liable for any such advice or recommendation which is not so confirmed.
