These terms apply to your use of this website and to every quotation, order and delivery made by Ledomar International Private Limited, unless we have signed a separate written supply agreement with you, in which case that agreement prevails.
1. Definitions
- "We", "us", "Ledomar" — Ledomar International Private Limited, Chennai, India.
- "You", "the Customer" — the vessel owner, manager, operator, master, agent or buyer placing the enquiry or order.
- "Goods" — the provisions, stores, spare parts, equipment or consumables supplied by us.
- "Vessel" — the ship to which the Goods are supplied.
- "Requisition" — the item list and specifications you send us.
2. Use of this website
This website is provided for information and for sending enquiries. You agree not to misuse it, attempt to gain unauthorised access, or submit false, unlawful or automated enquiries. Product descriptions, category lists and images are indicative and do not constitute an offer to sell or a guarantee that a particular item is in stock.
3. Intellectual property
The Ledomar name, logo, page content, photographs and layout are our property or used with permission, and may not be copied, reproduced or used commercially without our written consent. Third-party manufacturer names and brand marks shown on this site remain the property of their respective owners and are used only to identify the goods we source.
4. Quotations
- Quotations are issued against the Requisition you provide and are valid for the period stated on the quotation; where no period is stated, they are valid for seven days.
- A quotation is an invitation to order, not a binding contract, until we confirm your order in writing.
- Prices are subject to availability at the time of confirmation, and to change where the Requisition, quantity, port, delivery window or specification changes.
- Where an item is specification-critical, we confirm make, model or part number before quoting. If those details are not supplied, our quotation is based on the description given and is subject to correction.
5. Orders and acceptance
A contract is formed only when we accept your order in writing, by email or by issuing an order confirmation. We may decline an order, in whole or in part, where goods are unavailable, where the delivery window cannot be met, or where required commercial or compliance details are missing.
6. Prices, taxes and duties
Unless stated otherwise, prices are quoted in the currency shown on the quotation and are exclusive of GST and any other applicable taxes, port dues, customs duties, launch or barge charges, overtime and access fees, which will be charged in addition at the prevailing rate. Any tax exemption applicable to ship stores must be supported by the documentation required by the authorities; where that documentation is not provided, the applicable tax will be charged.
7. Payment
- Payment terms are as stated on our quotation or invoice. Where no term is agreed in writing, payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date (to be confirmed).
- We may require advance payment or partial advance for new customers, urgent supply or non-standard items.
- Payment shall be made in full without set-off, counterclaim or deduction. Bank charges are for the Customer's account.
- Overdue amounts may attract interest at the rate to be confirmed per month from the due date until payment.
- Where an order is placed by an agent, master or manager on behalf of a vessel or owner, that party and the vessel's owner are jointly and severally liable for payment.
8. Specifications and your responsibility
You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the Requisition, including make, model, part number, drawing, rating, dimensions, certification required and quantity. We will confirm specification-critical items with you before quoting, but we cannot be held responsible for goods supplied correctly against an incorrect or incomplete Requisition.
9. Delivery
- Delivery is made to the Vessel at the agreed berth or anchorage, or to the agent's nominated place, as stated on the order confirmation.
- Delivery times are coordinated against the Vessel's declared ETA and ETD and are estimates given in good faith, not guaranteed times.
- You must ensure safe, lawful and timely access to the Vessel, and that a responsible officer is available to receive and sign for the Goods.
- Additional costs arising from a change of berth or port, a change of schedule, waiting time, failed delivery, refused access, or delivery outside normal hours will be charged in addition.
- Where the Vessel sails before delivery can be completed through no fault of ours, the Goods remain payable and re-delivery or storage will be charged.
10. Title and risk
Risk in the Goods passes to you on delivery alongside or on board, as applicable. Title in the Goods remains with us until we have received payment in full of all sums due in respect of them.
11. Inspection, shortages and claims
- The Goods must be checked against the delivery note at the time of delivery. Shortages, damage or visibly incorrect items must be noted on the delivery note and signed by the receiving officer.
- Claims for shortage, damage or incorrect supply must reach us in writing within 3 days of delivery, and for fresh provisions at the time of delivery, as their condition cannot be verified afterwards.
- Latent defects must be notified within 30 days of delivery and before the item is fitted or consumed, where practicable.
- A signed delivery note without notation is evidence that the Goods were received complete and in good order.
12. Warranties and returns
Manufactured goods carry the warranty offered by their manufacturer, and we will pass on the benefit of that warranty so far as we are able. We do not give any further warranty as to fitness for a particular purpose beyond conformity with the agreed specification. Goods correctly supplied against the Requisition are not returnable. Provisions, bonded stores, chemicals, and items specially procured, cut to length or imported to order cannot be returned. Where a return is accepted at our discretion, goods must be unused, in original packing, and a handling charge may apply.
13. Cancellation
Orders may be cancelled only with our written agreement. Where goods have been specially procured, imported, packed or dispatched, or where third-party costs have been incurred, those costs remain payable.
14. Bonded stores, customs and compliance
Bonded and duty-free stores are supplied strictly in accordance with the applicable customs and port procedures. You are responsible for ensuring that the Goods ordered may lawfully be carried and used on board, for any declaration required of the Vessel, and for compliance with sanctions, export control and dangerous goods regulations. We may refuse or withdraw from any supply that would place us in breach of applicable law or sanctions.
15. Force majeure
We are not liable for delay or failure to perform caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including weather, sea conditions, port closure or congestion, strikes or labour disputes, transport failure, act of government, customs or authority action, war, civil unrest, epidemic, fire, or failure of utilities or communications. Where such an event occurs we will notify you and may suspend or reschedule delivery.
16. Limitation of liability
Nothing in these terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for any liability that cannot lawfully be excluded. Subject to that:
- Our total liability arising out of or in connection with any order shall not exceed the invoice value of the Goods giving rise to the claim.
- We are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit, loss of hire, charter or freight, off-hire, deviation, port charges, detention, demurrage, loss of business or reputational loss.
- We are not liable for loss arising from an incorrect or incomplete Requisition, or from the Vessel's own schedule changes.
17. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify us against any claim, penalty or cost arising from your breach of these terms, from inaccurate information supplied to us, or from unsafe or unlawful conditions at the place of delivery.
18. Confidentiality
Requisitions, pricing and vessel information exchanged between us are treated as confidential and used only to perform the supply, except where disclosure is required by law or by a port, customs or statutory authority.
19. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms and any contract formed under them are governed by the laws of India. The courts at Chennai, Tamil Nadu shall have exclusive jurisdiction, save that we retain the right to bring proceedings for recovery of sums due in any court of competent jurisdiction where the Customer or the Vessel is located.
20. Severability and waiver
If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force. A delay or failure by us to enforce any right is not a waiver of that right.
21. Changes to these terms
We may amend these terms from time to time. The version in force at the date of your order is the version that applies to that order. The revision date at the top of this page shows when these terms were last changed.
