We guarantee that all items shipped from bingbangbong are in pristine condition unless described as 'seconds' in your dealings with us. •We fully understand that it takes a few minutes to do so, however YOU MUST OPEN THE PACKAGES AND VERIFY THE CONDITION OF THE GOODS BEFORE SIGNING FOR ACCEPTANCE. Once you have signed for the goods, you have accepted them 'as-is', the insurance requirement is deemed to have been fulfilled and there is absolutely no come-back with the courier company. •If you intend to reject the goods because of transit damage, please call bingbangbong 028 91470989 before the driver leaves and if possible take a photograph of the damage to send to us before the driver takes them away again. •Unless there is a manufacturing or design defect covered under our guarantee, Bingbangbong is under no obligation to replace goods that you have accepted if you have not checked them before accepting them.

Title & Right of Ownership• All goods remain the property of bingbangbong until and unless paid for in full. • Bingbangbong reserves the right to recover our property or the value thereof in the instance of payment not being made within the agreed timescale. Billing terms & PaymentUnfortunately we have experienced some trade partners availing of discounts offered but not fulfilling their part of the bargain by paying on time. Unfortunately we are not able to extend credit - please see your bank if you are experiencing temporary cashflow issues. The following conditions are updated and applicable from 1st June 2010 •Your first order with us will require a proforma payment. Proforma means that payment is made before the goods are released. •If your first order is successful, Bingbangbong's standard payment schedule is 14 CALENDAR DAYS (10 WORKING DAYS) from invoice. The invoice is issued when the goods are shipped •If at any time your account becomes overdue or invoices remain unpaid, we will revert back to Proforma invoicing until a consistent payment schedule is established. Unpaid / overdue Invoices•Invoices that remain unpaid after the 14 day period will have the discount removed and the full RRP will be payable, . •Invoices that remain unpaid after 30 days will incur a further 10% administration / credit fee based on the balance of your customer account with us. •Invoices unpaid after 60 days may result in your details being passed to a debt collection agency or filed with the court. We maintain ownership of the goods until paid for in full and reserve the right to recover the items if in pristine condition, or the full value of the items if installed or if not in the condition in which they were dispatched. Threat-resistance•'Tamper proof' / 'anti-tamper' means that the fittings are protected against casual attempts to undo the fixings - Our anti-tamper fixings cannot be undone without some form of tool, usually a non-standard tool or a specialist fixing bit. In some cases anti-tamper measures may take the form of a threadlocking compound to bond nuts and bolts together or any combination of measures available. •There is no such thing as vandal proofElemental / Environmental Effects•All standard aluminium-based instruments are supplied with a chemically etched protective undercoat and a layer of coloured powdercoating. These are hard wearing, industrial quality finishes, but they can be marked or chipped if struck or scratched with a hard implement.•Although virtually indestructible as a material, Stainless steel instrument finishes may be scratched or may be dented by striking sufficiently forcefully with a hard implement. •Stainless Steel instruments are minimum 304 grade as standard and are suitable for any use not requiring permanent immersion in water. 316 grade immersible Stainless is available on request. •Environmental factors including but not limited to: UV exposure, wind, rain and salty air near a coast; will cause a dulling of cosmetic finishes and colours after a period of exposure. Such cosmetic effects are anticpated and do not affect the instrument/artefact performance. •Stainless mirror polished spheres and hemispheres have a thin skin that can be dented with aggressive use. Please be aware of this. •Stainless Steel items may become hot in direct sunlight •All sound has the potential to carry beyond the area of immediate use. Generally this 'carry' is only for a few metres; however under certain conditions, such as using unapproved striking implements or with proximate neighbours this may constitute a nuisance. Before ordering you should satisfy yourself that your intended installation site is appropriate - bingbangbong accepts no responsibility whatsoever for 'nuisance' use of our products in your scenario Sensory Awareness•Sensory products are solely designed to provide stimulating and interesting opportunities for exploration and sensation. Individual users will react differently to different stimulii and whilst we can indicate the likely range of uses and effects, no guarantee of effect or benefit whatsoever is given or should be implied. •Some of the sensory items are designed to give-off extremely strong vibrations and sound waves. Please consider if this is appropriate for your clientele before purchase.
