In these Terms and Conditions:

“Buyer” means the business, company, partnership, organisation, sole trader or other professional customer purchasing Goods from the Seller.

“Contract” means the contract between the Seller and the Buyer for the sale and purchase of Goods under these Terms and Conditions.

“Goods” means the products supplied or agreed to be supplied by the Seller to the Buyer.

“Member” means a Buyer with an active, fully paid HealthBridge Plus membership.

“Seller”, “we”, “us” or “our” means HealthBridge Supplies Ltd, registered in England and Wales under company number 16375964, with its registered office at 3 Diamond Drive, Colne, Lancashire, BB8 0AN.

“Website” means www.healthbridgesupplies.co.uk.

“Working Day” means Monday to Friday, excluding public and bank holidays in England.

1.2 Application of these Terms

These Terms and Conditions apply to all sales of Goods by the Seller.

By placing an order, the Buyer confirms that they have read and accepted these Terms and Conditions and have authority to place the order on behalf of the business or organisation named in the order.

These Terms and Conditions take precedence over any terms submitted or proposed by the Buyer unless expressly agreed in writing by an authorised representative of the Seller.


2. Business-to-Business Status

2.1 Business customers only

HealthBridge Supplies operates as a business-to-business supplier.

The Website and Goods are intended for Buyers acting wholly or mainly for purposes relating to their trade, business, craft or profession.

The Website is not intended for individuals purchasing wholly or mainly for personal, domestic or household use.

2.2 Confirmation of business status

By placing an order, the Buyer confirms that:

  • the purchase is being made for business or professional purposes;
  • the information provided about the Buyer and its organisation is accurate; and
  • the person placing the order has authority to bind the Buyer.

2.3 Consumer orders

The Seller reserves the right to refuse, suspend or cancel an order where there are reasonable grounds to believe that the purchase is being made primarily as a consumer transaction.

Where payment has already been taken for an order that the Seller declines before dispatch, the amount paid will be refunded.


3. Orders and Acceptance

3.1 Placing an order

An order placed through the Website, by telephone, by email or through an agreed purchasing arrangement constitutes an offer by the Buyer to purchase the Goods.

The Buyer is responsible for ensuring that all product details, quantities, delivery information and other order information are complete and accurate.

3.2 Order acknowledgement

An automated order acknowledgement confirms that the Seller has received the order. It does not necessarily mean that the order has been accepted.

A Contract is formed when the Seller sends a dispatch confirmation, confirms acceptance in writing or dispatches the Goods, whichever occurs first.

3.3 Right to decline an order

The Seller may decline or cancel an order before acceptance where:

  • the Goods are unavailable;
  • the price or product information contains an obvious error;
  • payment cannot be authorised;
  • the delivery address is outside the Seller’s normal delivery area;
  • the order is suspected to be fraudulent;
  • the Buyer has overdue payments;
  • the order cannot reasonably be fulfilled; or
  • the Buyer does not meet the Seller’s business-customer requirements.

Where possible, the Seller will contact the Buyer to offer an alternative product, revised delivery arrangement or corrected price.

3.4 Availability

All Goods are subject to availability.

Where Goods become unavailable after an order is placed, the Seller may offer an alternative product. No substitute will be supplied without the Buyer’s agreement.

Where no suitable alternative is agreed, the affected Goods will be cancelled and any payment made for them will be refunded.


4. Prices

4.1 Website prices

Prices are stated in pounds sterling and are those displayed on the Website or provided in a written quotation at the time the order is placed.

The Seller is not currently registered for VAT and does not add VAT to its prices. If the Seller’s VAT status changes, applicable prices, invoices and Website information will be updated.

4.2 Price changes

The Seller may change its prices at any time. A price change will not affect an order that has already been accepted, except where the published price contained an obvious error.

If a pricing error is identified, the Seller will contact the Buyer and provide the option to proceed at the correct price or cancel the affected Goods.

4.3 Quotations

Unless stated otherwise, written quotations remain valid for 30 days from their date of issue.

Quotations may be withdrawn or amended before acceptance where supplier prices, carriage costs, exchange rates or product availability change materially.

4.4 Delivery charges

Delivery charges are separate from product prices unless expressly stated otherwise.

The applicable delivery charge will be displayed during checkout or confirmed before the order is accepted.


5. HealthBridge Plus Membership

5.1 Membership cost and duration

HealthBridge Plus costs £120 per year.

Membership benefits begin when payment has been successfully received and the membership has been activated.

Membership remains active for 12 months from the activation or renewal date, unless suspended or terminated under these Terms and Conditions.

5.2 Product discount

Active Members receive 5% off eligible standard online prices.

The discount applies when the Member:

  • orders through the Website;
  • is logged into the account connected to the active membership; and
  • purchases an eligible product.

The membership discount does not apply to:

  • the HealthBridge Plus membership fee;
  • delivery charges;
  • bespoke or individually negotiated quotations;
  • agreed contract pricing;
  • specially negotiated trade prices;
  • existing bulk-price agreements;
  • clearance products;
  • promotional or already-discounted products;
  • gift cards or account credit;
  • products specifically marked as excluded; or
  • any other transaction where the Seller has confirmed that membership pricing does not apply.

Membership discounts cannot be combined with another voucher, coupon, promotional discount or account discount unless expressly stated.

5.3 Member delivery benefits

Members receive free standard delivery on eligible UK mainland online orders of £30 or more.

A reduced standard delivery charge of £4.95 applies to eligible Member orders below £30.

The applicable charge and eligibility will be shown during checkout.

Free or reduced-rate delivery normally applies to a standard consignment weighing no more than 20kg.

Additional charges may apply to:

  • pallets;
  • oversized or unusually shaped products;
  • heavy Goods or consignments over 20kg;
  • Goods requiring more than one parcel;
  • hazardous or restricted Goods;
  • specialist courier services;
  • supplier-direct deliveries;
  • remote or restricted delivery locations; and
  • Goods identified on the Website as carrying a separate delivery charge.

Where an additional charge is required, the Seller will contact the Member before dispatch.

5.4 Priority order processing

Member orders are prioritised for processing during the Seller’s normal working hours.

Priority processing does not guarantee same-day dispatch, next-day delivery or product availability.

Delivery times remain subject to stock availability, supplier lead times, courier performance and the nature of the Goods ordered.

5.5 Account support

Members receive access to a named account contact who can assist with:

  • product selection;
  • repeat ordering;
  • sourcing products that may not currently be listed on the Website;
  • product availability; and
  • general account enquiries.

Account support does not constitute medical, clinical, health and safety, legal or regulatory advice.

The Buyer remains responsible for deciding whether Goods are appropriate for its intended application.

5.6 Fair Usage Policy

HealthBridge Plus delivery benefits are intended for reasonable business stock replenishment and ordinary business purchasing.

The Seller may review a membership where:

  • the Member places more than six free or reduced-rate delivery orders during a calendar month;
  • the Member repeatedly places unusually small, heavy or expensive-to-deliver orders;
  • delivery benefits are used in a manner that is commercially unreasonable;
  • the membership is being shared between unrelated organisations;
  • Goods are being ordered on behalf of another business using the membership; or
  • the membership is otherwise being misused.

Following a review, the Seller may:

  • contact the Member to discuss its ordering requirements;
  • recommend consolidated deliveries;
  • agree a bespoke delivery arrangement;
  • apply an additional delivery charge;
  • offer individually agreed account pricing; or
  • suspend the relevant membership benefit.

The Seller will act reasonably when applying this Fair Usage Policy.

5.7 Membership renewal

Where HealthBridge Plus is purchased as an automatically renewing subscription, it will renew annually using the payment method associated with the account unless cancelled before the renewal date.

The Member is responsible for ensuring that its payment and contact details remain current.

The Seller may change the membership price or benefits for a future renewal period. Any material change will be communicated before the next renewal payment is taken.

Changes will not normally reduce the benefits already paid for during the Member’s current membership period.

5.8 Membership cancellation

A Member may cancel future renewal through its online account or by contacting the Seller.

Cancellation stops the next renewal payment. Membership benefits will continue until the end of the current paid membership period unless the membership is terminated because of misuse or breach of these Terms and Conditions.

Membership fees are non-refundable once membership has been activated or benefits have been used, except where required by law or where a refund is agreed at the Seller’s discretion.

No refund or account credit will normally be provided for an unused part of the membership period.

5.9 Suspension or termination

The Seller may suspend or terminate a membership where:

  • payment fails or is reversed;
  • the membership is used fraudulently;
  • benefits are materially misused;
  • the Member shares access with an unrelated organisation;
  • the Member has overdue payments;
  • the Member materially breaches these Terms and Conditions; or
  • continued membership would expose the Seller to unreasonable commercial, legal or operational risk.

5.10 Trade accounts

HealthBridge Plus membership does not automatically provide a trade credit account or 30-day payment terms.

Credit facilities are subject to a separate application, credit assessment and written approval.


6. Delivery

6.1 Delivery area

Standard delivery is available to eligible UK mainland business addresses.

Deliveries to Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, offshore islands, restricted postcodes or other locations outside the Seller’s normal delivery area are not included unless expressly agreed.

The Seller may decline an order or provide a separate delivery quotation where the delivery address is outside its standard delivery area.

6.2 Non-member delivery charges

Non-members receive free standard delivery on eligible orders of £125 or more.

An £8 standard delivery charge applies to eligible non-member orders below £125.

The applicable charge will be shown during checkout or confirmed before the order is accepted.

6.3 Member delivery charges

HealthBridge Plus delivery charges and benefits are set out in Section 5.

6.4 Delivery times

Most stocked orders placed and paid for by 11am are normally delivered within 1–3 working days.

Delivery times are estimates and are not guaranteed.

Orders may take longer where they contain:

  • out-of-stock Goods;
  • Goods supplied directly by a manufacturer or distributor;
  • personalised, printed or customised products;
  • specialist or made-to-order products;
  • heavy, oversized or palletised Goods;
  • Goods subject to supplier lead times; or
  • Goods requiring a specialist delivery service.

The Seller will provide an estimated delivery time where it is expected to differ materially from the normal delivery service.

6.5 Delays

The Seller will take reasonable steps to meet the estimated delivery time but will not be responsible for delays caused by events outside its reasonable control.

This may include courier disruption, severe weather, road closures, industrial action, supplier delays, product shortages, customs delays, system failures or other force majeure events.

6.6 Split deliveries

The Seller may deliver an order in more than one consignment where Goods:

  • are dispatched from different locations;
  • are supplied directly by a manufacturer;
  • become available at different times; or
  • cannot safely or reasonably be packed together.

The Buyer will not be charged additional delivery costs where the Seller chooses to split an otherwise eligible standard delivery, unless an additional charge has been agreed in advance.

6.7 Delivery responsibility

The Buyer must provide a complete and accurate delivery address and any information reasonably required to complete the delivery.

The Buyer is responsible for ensuring that:

  • the delivery location is accessible;
  • someone is available to receive the Goods where required;
  • any site restrictions are disclosed in advance; and
  • suitable unloading arrangements are available for heavy or palletised Goods.

Pallet deliveries may be made to the kerbside unless an alternative service has been agreed.

6.8 Failed deliveries

Additional charges arising from an incorrect address, refused delivery, failed delivery attempt, lack of access or failure to collect Goods may be charged to the Buyer.

The Seller may withhold redelivery until the relevant charge has been paid.

6.9 Inspection of deliveries

The Buyer should inspect the Goods as soon as reasonably possible following delivery.

Visible damage, shortages or incorrectly supplied Goods should be reported within two working days of delivery.

Where possible, the Buyer should provide:

  • photographs of the Goods;
  • photographs of the outer and inner packaging;
  • the delivery label;
  • the order or invoice number; and
  • details of the damage, shortage or error.

The Buyer should retain the Goods and packaging until the Seller confirms whether they are required for inspection, collection or return.

6.10 Non-delivery

A missing delivery should be reported as soon as reasonably possible and no later than seven days after the estimated delivery date.

The Seller will investigate the delivery with the courier or supplier and provide an appropriate resolution.

6.11 Risk

Risk in the Goods passes to the Buyer when the Goods are delivered to the specified delivery address or collected by the Buyer or its nominated carrier.


7. Payment Terms

7.1 Payment methods

Payment may be made using the payment methods displayed during checkout or otherwise agreed by the Seller.

These may include debit card, credit card, bank transfer, Google Pay, Apple Pay or an approved trade credit account.

7.2 Payment before dispatch

Unless the Buyer has an approved credit account, payment must be received in full before the Goods are dispatched.

7.3 Credit accounts

Credit accounts and payment terms are provided only where expressly approved by the Seller.

The Seller may:

  • carry out credit checks;
  • set or change a credit limit;
  • require references;
  • request payment in advance;
  • suspend a credit account;
  • withdraw credit facilities; or
  • require overdue balances to be settled before accepting further orders.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, approved credit-account invoices are payable within 30 days of the invoice date.

7.4 Late payment

Where an approved credit-account invoice is not paid by its due date, the Seller reserves the right to charge statutory interest, fixed compensation and reasonable recovery costs under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, as amended.

The Seller may also suspend deliveries, cancel unfulfilled orders or withdraw credit facilities until overdue amounts are paid.

7.5 Ownership of Goods

Ownership of the Goods remains with the Seller until the Seller has received full payment of all amounts due in respect of those Goods.

Until ownership passes, the Buyer must keep the Goods identifiable and must not intentionally damage, dispose of or create a charge over them.


8. Returns, Cancellations and Refunds

8.1 Cancelling an order before dispatch

A Buyer wishing to cancel or amend an order should contact the Seller as soon as possible.

Cancellation is not guaranteed once an order has been accepted, prepared, personalised, ordered from a supplier or dispatched.

Customised, printed, made-to-order or specially sourced Goods may not be cancelled once production or procurement has begun.

8.2 Non-faulty returns

The Seller may accept a return of correctly supplied, non-faulty Goods where:

  • the Buyer contacts the Seller within 14 days of delivery;
  • return authorisation is obtained before the Goods are sent back;
  • the Goods are unused, unopened and undamaged;
  • all seals and original packaging remain intact;
  • the Goods are complete and in a resaleable condition; and
  • the Goods are not excluded from return.

Acceptance of a non-faulty B2B return is at the Seller’s discretion.

8.3 Return costs

Unless the Goods are faulty, damaged before delivery, materially misdescribed or incorrectly supplied by the Seller, the Buyer is responsible for the cost and risk of returning the Goods.

The Seller may deduct the original outward delivery cost from any discretionary refund where appropriate.

8.4 Restocking charge

A restocking charge of up to 20% may apply to an approved return of correctly supplied, non-faulty Goods.

The restocking charge helps cover inspection, administration, handling and repackaging costs.

No restocking charge will apply where Goods are defective, damaged before delivery, materially misdescribed or incorrectly supplied by the Seller.

8.5 Goods excluded from return

Unless faulty or incorrectly supplied, returns will not normally be accepted for:

  • personalised, printed or customised Goods;
  • specially sourced or made-to-order Goods;
  • sterile products where the packaging has been opened or damaged;
  • Goods with a broken hygiene or tamper-evident seal;
  • disposable or hygiene-sensitive Goods that have been opened;
  • Goods that have been used, installed, contaminated or damaged;
  • Goods with a materially reduced remaining shelf life caused by delay on the Buyer’s part;
  • clearance or non-returnable products identified before purchase; or
  • Goods that cannot safely or lawfully be resold.

8.6 Faulty, damaged or incorrect Goods

Where Goods are faulty, damaged before delivery, materially misdescribed or incorrectly supplied, the Buyer should contact the Seller promptly.

The Seller may request photographs, batch information, packaging, product labels or other reasonable evidence before arranging a collection, replacement, repair, account credit or refund.

The Seller must be given a reasonable opportunity to inspect the Goods and provide an appropriate remedy.

8.7 Refunds

Approved refunds will be made to the original payment method wherever reasonably possible.

Refunds are normally processed within 14 days after the returned Goods have been received and inspected or after the Seller has otherwise approved the refund.

Bank or card-processing times are outside the Seller’s control.


9. Product Information, Quality and Warranty

9.1 Product descriptions

The Seller takes reasonable care to ensure that product descriptions, specifications, photographs and other information are accurate.

Product images are for illustrative purposes. Packaging, branding, colour and minor product details may change where a manufacturer updates its products, provided that the fundamental specification and intended function are not materially changed.

The Buyer is responsible for selecting appropriate Goods and ensuring that employees, patients, residents, contractors and other users receive appropriate instruction and training.

Where a valid warranty claim arises, the Seller may repair or replace the Goods, arrange a manufacturer remedy, provide account credit or issue a refund, depending on the circumstances.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes any obligation or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

  • supporting photographs or documents where relevant; and
  • the preferred resolution.

The Seller aims to acknowledge a complaint within two working days and provide a full response within ten working days.

Complex complaints may require additional time. Where this happens, the Seller will provide an update and an estimated response date.

The parties should attempt to resolve any dispute through reasonable discussion before commencing formal legal proceedings.


13. Intellectual Property

All intellectual-property rights in the Website, catalogues, brochures, product descriptions, photographs, designs, graphics, documents, technical information and marketing materials created or owned by the Seller remain the property of the Seller or the relevant rights owner.

The Buyer may use product information supplied by the Seller only for legitimate internal business purposes relating to the purchase and use of the Goods.

The Buyer may not copy, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute or commercially exploit the Seller’s materials without prior written permission.

Manufacturer names, trademarks, images and product information remain the property of their respective owners.

  • the information was already lawfully known to the receiving party;
  • the information becomes publicly available other than through a breach of confidence; or

These may include severe weather, fire, flood, epidemic, pandemic, war, civil disturbance, industrial action, courier disruption, supplier failure, product shortage, utility failure, cyber incident, transport disruption or government action.

The Seller will take reasonable steps to reduce the effect of the disruption and resume performance when reasonably possible.

15.2 Entire agreement

The Contract and any written quotation or order confirmation issued by the Seller constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to the relevant order.

The Buyer confirms that it has not relied on any statement or promise that is not included in the Contract, except that nothing limits liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

15.3 Variation

A variation to these Terms and Conditions or a Contract is effective only where agreed in writing by an authorised representative of the Seller.

15.4 Assignment

The Buyer may not transfer or assign its rights or obligations under a Contract without the Seller’s prior written agreement.

The Seller may assign or subcontract its rights and obligations where this does not materially reduce the Buyer’s contractual rights.

If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, it will be removed or modified to the minimum extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue in full force.
