Trade Terms & Conditions

Tanners’ standard payment terms are by Direct Debit. For details of how this operates, please speak to your Area Sales Manager. No further deliveries can
be made if an account becomes overdue and Tanners reserve the right to charge interest on all overdue balances at the rate of 2% per calendar month until such overdue balances are paid. In the event of any payments being dishonoured, a charge of £12.50 + VAT will be made to the customer’s account to cover bank and administration costs. Tanners reserve the right to change the payment terms at any point should your account become overdue.

Our goods are not supplied on a sale or return basis unless by prior arrangement. Should you find that you need to return stock other than for reasons of quality then there may be an administrative charge for doing so. All returns must be checked and agreed by your Area Sales Manager and the
correct documentation made out before our driver collects. Additionally, only wines which are of the current vintage listed and in re-saleable condition can be credited in full. No returns can be accepted from 15th November to 31st December.

There is a twice-weekly delivery service in Shrewsbury, Welshpool and Llandudno and a weekly service elsewhere in our regional delivery area. Please ask the Trade Support Offices for your regular delivery day. To ensure delivery, orders must be received by 1pm on the previous day. Nationally, unless advised otherwise, you will receive your delivery Monday to Friday, 8am - 6pm, within three working days.

We try to pass on the best rates possible for non-mainland UK, please ask for current details. You should allow at least eight working days for delivery to these areas.

The title to the goods shall remain vested with Tanners Wines Limited (“Tanners” or “the Company”) until payment in full of the selling price and shall not pass to the customer until such payment has been received by the Company in cleared funds. Until such payment has been made the customer shall store the goods in suitable premises and, until such payment has been made, the Company or its agent may without prejudice to its other rights) recover the goods and may enter the said premises for this purpose.

1.      Title to the goods shall not pass to the customer until Tanners has received payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for: 

(i)     The goods; and

(ii)    All other sums (including interest) which are, or which become, due to Tanners for, or in connection with, sales of the goods to the customer.

2.     Until title to the goods has passed to the customer: 

a.      The goods shall remain Tanners’ property and the customer shall store the goods separately and/or keep them in such a way that they can be readily identified as being Tanners’ property. The customer shall ensure the goods shall be kept free from charge and/or encumbrance.

b.      Notwithstanding any inconsistency (if any) with any other provision of these conditions the customer acknowledges and admits that until full payment for the goods has been made it holds all goods in a fiduciary relationship as Tanners’ bailee.

c.      Subject to (e) and (f) below, the customer shall be at liberty to sell the goods in the ordinary course of business provided always that the customer shall have no authority to enter into any contract of sale on Tanners’ behalf and any contract of sale should accordingly be concluded in the name of the customer.

d.      Where the goods have been sold by the customer, the customer shall at Tanners’ request and expense assign to Tanners its rights against the sub customer.

e.      Without prejudice to any other remedy that Tanners may have, Tanners may at any time revoke the customer’s power of sale by notice to the customer if the customer is in default in payment of any sum whatsoever due to Tanners (whether in respect of the goods or any other goods supplied at any time by us to the customer or for any reason whatsoever) or if any bill of exchange, cheque or negotiable instrument drawn or accepted by the customer in Tanners’ favour at Tanners’ request is dishonoured on presentation for payment or if Tanners has a bona fide doubt as to the solvency of the customer.

f.       The customer’s power of sale shall automatically cease if any administrative receiver is appointed over any of the assets or the undertaking of the customer or if the customer goes into voluntary liquidation (otherwise than for the purpose of re-contruction or amalgamation) or calls a meeting of or makes any arrangement of composition with creditors or commits any act of bankruptcy.

g.      Upon determination of the customer’s power of sale under clause (e) and (f):

(i)     All amounts payable in respect of the goods that have been re-sold shall immediately become due, notwithstanding that any period of credit permitted under the contract may not have expired.

(ii)    The customer shall immediately place the remaining goods at Tanners’ disposal and Tanners shall be entitled to enter upon any premises of the customer for the purpose of removing the same from the premises. Such return or retaking of possession shall not cancel or otherwise affect this contract of sale relating to such goods or the obligation of the customer to complete the purchase and to pay the purchase price in respect thereof (where the same remains outstanding).

h.      Tanners may maintain an action for the price of the goods notwithstanding that the ownership of them has not passed. For the purpose of this condition “the goods” shall mean all goods which are the subject of any contract of sale of supply between Tanners and the customer.

i.       Tanners shall allocate any cash received against the outstanding debt in any manner they decide. Any sums associated may be re-allocated to different invoices at a later date. Payment for specific invoices does not prevent collection of the remaining goods pertaining to those paid invoices.

j.       Please note all accounts beyond our credit terms will be passed to our debt collection agency. All accounts, without exception, will be subject to a surcharge of 15% plus VAT to cover our costs in recovery. These accounts will also be subject to any legal costs incurred in obtaining settlement.
