Terms and Conditions
We update our terms and conditions on a regular basis, so please make sure you check these before proceeding with a purchase.
1. General
Any order accepted by Sektor (Thailand) Co,. Limited, or its affiliates (hereinafter called “the Company”) shall be deemed to incorporate these Terms and Conditions of Sale. No variation or modification of, or substitution for these Terms and Conditions of Sale (even if included in, or referred to in, the document placing the order) shall be binding on the Company, unless previously and specifically accepted by the Company in writing. Acceptance of these trading terms does not necessarily imply access to all the Company’s products. Certain products are classified as Authorised Products and are not available to all the Company’s Customer’s. The Company may make changes to these Terms and Conditions of Sale (including any credit terms) from time to time by notice to the Customer. The Customer is treated as having accepted the changed terms if it sends an order to the Company after receiving its notice of those changes.
2. Prices
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company, the Company reserves the right to vary the price stated for the Goods in order to take account of any increase in shipping costs, product costs or cost of materials, services or exchange rate fluctuations at the time of acceptance of the Customers Purchase Order. The Company will notify the Customer of any such changes. All prices listed are exclusive of any applicable taxes unless otherwise stated and subject to change without notice. The Company reserves the right to accept or reject any Purchase Order, whether written or verbal, at its discretion.
3. Taxes
All amounts payable to the Company under this agreement do not include any taxes, levies, or similar government charges, however designated, or any related penalities, including those now in force or enacted in the future (“Taxes”). The distributor shall be responsible for all such taxes excluding those which are due on the Company’s net income, unless the Customer provides the Company with a tax exempt certificate.
4. Payment
Terms of payment are prior to delivery. Payment may be made by Cheque, Credit Card (MasterCard or Visa), or Direct Credit. Credit terms may be offered to an approved Customer when a satisfactory trading history has been established. The Customer warrants that as far as it is aware it or any of its owners are not insolvent. The Customer acknowledges that the Company may in its absolute discretion, approve or refuse to extend any credit to the Customer. If credit is extended to a Customer, the Company may reduce or withdraw any credit extended to the Customer and require it to immediately pay all moneys owed to the Company if the Customer: (i) breaches any of the Terms and Conditions of Sale; or (ii) in the Company’s reasonable opinion, may or is suffering from an insolvency event.
In addition to any right or lien to which the Company may be by law entitled, the Company shall (in the event of the Customer’s insolvency or going into receivership) be entitled to a general lien on all Goods of the Customer in the Company’s possession (although such Goods or some of them may have been paid for) for the unpaid price of any Goods sold and delivered to the Customer by the Company under the same or any other contract.
Without prejudice to any other rights of action the Company may have, unless payment is made to the Company on the due date for payment, the Customer’s account may be automatically suspended until it is brought within the trading terms (unless otherwise arranged and confirmed in writing by the Company such as a bona fide dispute). The Customer agrees to pay interest to the Company on all overdue charges at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month payable monthly (or such lesser rate as the Company may specify in writing) from the due date for payment until actual payment thereof, excepting any bona fide dispute which has been set aside.
In the event of an account not being paid by the due date the Customer will pay to the Company all debt collection agency costs and legal fees (on a solicitor and client basis) incurred by the Company in obtaining payment of the amount from the Customer. In addition interest is payable on such debt collection agency costs and legal fees at the cumulative rate of 1.5% per month calculated monthly from the date on which they are paid by the Company until payment of the same by the Customer to the Company.
5. Assignment
An order and any payments to be made in relation to it shall not be assigned or transferred without the prior written approval of the Company.
6. Delivery
Delivery will be made to the location specified on the order form and the Customer shall be liable for all freight costs.
No claim for damage in transit or shortage in delivery will be considered in cases where the Company has agreed to deliver the Goods to the Customer unless a separate notice in writing is given to the carrier concerned and the Company immediately the Goods are received followed by detailed and complete claim in writing within two (2) trading days of delivery. In the event of loss or destruction of the Goods in transit, advice of non-delivery must be submitted in writing to the carrier and to the Company within seven (7) days of the date of consignment as advised by the Company to the Customer.
Any period or dates quoted for delivery are to be regarded as approximate only and the Company accepts no liability for any loss, injury damage or expenses consequent upon any delay in delivery of Goods. Delay due to circumstances not reasonably within the control of the Company shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any order or to refuse to accept delivery.
Notwithstanding that the title to the Goods may not have passed, the risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer upon delivery.
When the Company is required to procure overseas Goods to fulfill an order the order is subject to confirmation by the Company and it is also subject to an import licence being available when required.
7. Force Majeure
Should the Company be delayed in or prevented from making delivery owing to any cause whatsoever beyond the Company’s control, such as Act of God, war, strike, riots, government intervention, industrial stoppage or natural disaster or otherwise, the Company shall be at liberty to cancel or suspend the order without incurring any liability for any loss or damage resulting there from.
8. Insurance
Insurance will not be affected by the Company on Goods forwarded from the Company’s premises unless the Company receives written instructions from the Customer to insure.
9. Cancellation of Order
Once an order has been accepted and invoiced by the Company it may not be cancelled for any cause whatsoever without the Company’s consent in writing. Where such cancellation is agreed, the Customer will cover all costs in returning the Goods to the Company and ensure that the Goods are insured in transit and returned to the companies premises in original unmarked packaging including all original documentation and accessories. Such an order cancelled by the Customer will incur a re-stocking fee of a minimum of THB750, or fifteen percent (15%) of the invoiced value of the Goods, whichever is the greater.
Upon a Customer placing a special order or an indent order of Goods that are of a special nature or quantity, the Customer will be deemed to have invited the Company to allocate or order Goods or production time for its fulfillment and to have agreed that the Customer’s order will be irrevocable pending acceptance or rejection by the Company within a reasonable time.
10. Returns
Before returning any Goods, an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number must be requested and issued. Goods will not be accepted, credited or replaced without the RMA number stated on the returned Goods. Consumable items are not eligible for credit or return unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing. Unauthorized returns will not be shipped back to sender except at their expense (a handling fee may also apply).
The Customer may return authorised items using the shipping method of its choice and are responsible for the return shipping charges. The Company recommends that the Customer insures the return shipment as the Company cannot be responsible for damaged or lost shipments. Used or otherwise altered items not in new condition are not eligible for credit. All returns must be received within 45 days of the original order or a credit cannot be issued. Upon receipt of your returned items the Company will inspect them return them to inventory if in new unused condition and issue the Customer with the credit according to the conditions of Cancellation of Order.
11. Ownership
The risk in any Goods supplied by the Company to a Customer shall pass to the Customer when such Goods are delivered to the Customer or into custody on the Customer’s behalf. Until the Customer has discharged all outstanding indebtedness to the Company in respect of all Goods, the Company retains ownership in all Goods delivered to the Customer or into custody on the Customer’s behalf (Retained Goods).
Until payment in full of such indebtedness for all Goods has been made to the Company, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) it holds the Retained Goods as fiduciary and bailee agent for the Company; (ii) it will store, at all times, the Retained Goods separately from its or any 3rd party’s goods so that they remain identifiable; (iii) it will not encumber or allow any charge or security interest over the Retained Goods; (iv) it will insure the Retained Goods; and (v) the Company is permitted to enter into the Customer’s premises without prior notice to inspect and/or repossess the Retained Goods, and to keep or resell any of the Retained Goods repossessed.
If the Customer manufactures, intermingles or deals with the Retained Goods in such a manner that they become an integral part of any other object (Processed Goods) then the Customer holds these Processed Goods on trust for the Company to the extent the Retained Goods are incorporated or used to produce the Processed Goods, until payment in full of such indebtedness for all Goods has been made to the Company.
Unless otherwise directed by the Company, the Customer may, on behalf of the Company, sell the Retained Goods and Processed Goods to a third party in the normal course of trade. The Customer is accountable to the Company for the proceeds derived from the sale of Retained Goods, and in the case of Processed Goods, to the extent the Retained Goods are incorporated or used to produce the Processed Goods. The Customer shall hold such proceeds in trust for the Company in a separately identifiable account for the Company’s benefit and must give the proceeds to the Company when asked.
The Customer must maintain separate records in relation to the Retained Goods and Processed Goods, and make these records, Retained Goods, and Processed Goods available for the Company’s inspection at any time on reasonable notice to the Customer.

Returned product is to be shipped freight paid by the Customer, either outer wrapped or packaged so as to preserve the brand new factory packaging. Any missing marked or damaged product, manuals or accessories, will be charged in full on return. Evaluation Product not returned according to these conditions will be charged in full at the end of the evaluation period. Freight will be credited on Evaluation Product that is returned within the 7 day evaluation period. Insurance and return freight on the Evaluation Product is the responsibility of the Customer.
