A+B+(C) A and (C) are at 90O to one another
Shape Code

A + B + C + (E) 0.5r - d Neither A nor (E) shall be less than P in Table 2. See note 1
Shape Code

2A + 3B + 2(C) - 3r - 6d (C) and (D) shall be equal and not more than A or B nor less than P for links in Table 2. Where (C) and (D) are to be minimized the following formula may be used: L = 2 A + 3B + max(14d, 150) A+B+C+2D+E+(F)-3r-6d Neither A nor (F) shall be less than P in Table 2. See note 2
(Continued) The length of straight between two bends shall be at least 4d, see figure 6. Figures 4, 5 and 6 should be used in the interpretation of bending dimensions. NOTE 1 The length equations for shape codes 14, 15, 25, 26, 27, 34, 36, and 46 are approximate and where the bend angle is greater than 45, the length should be calculated more accurately allowing for the difference between the specified overall dimensions and the true length measured along the central axis of the bar. When the bending angles approach 90, it is preferable to specify shape code 99 with a fully dimensional sketch. NOTE 2 Five bends or more might be impractical within permitted tolerances. NOTE 3 For shapes with straight and curved lengths (e.g. shape codes 12, 13, 22, 23 and 47) the largest practical mandrel size for the production of a continuous curve is 400mm. See also Clause 10.

The Startabox System is a quick and safe way of achieving high quality reinforcement connections in a structural concrete joint without formwork damage. It consists of specially selected high yield reinforcement steel conforming to BS4449 housed in a perforated case with a tear-off plastic cover which protects the reinforcement until it is required for use.
Speed Startabox is quickly nailed into the formwork. There is no need for time-consuming drilling and cutting of the formwork. The formwork can be easily struck and re-erected thereby reducing intervals between pours. Safe The steel starter bars are housed within their case until ready for use. There are no protruding bars which may corrode or become damaged and present a hazard to workmen. Cost The formwork suffers no damage and therefore may be re-used many times. This contrasts with
normal stop-ends which only offer one use. is nailed to plain formwork and does not suffer the same problem. This means that Startabox will deliver a high quality construction joint every time.

Quality Traditional stop-ends offer suffer grout loss. Startabox Site Take off and scheduling service available

Curved STARTABOX STARTABOX can be manufactured to a customers desired internal or external radius. A typical situation would be the use of STARTABOX in the construction of launder channels in round tanks in the water treatment industry. STARTABOX with Integral Waterstop (STARTASTOP) STARTABOX can be manufactured incorporating a hydrophilic waterstop strip on both the internal and external face of the casing. This is especially useful for construction joints in below ground situations or within water retaining structures. The hydrophilic strip used is passed for use in potable water situations. STARTABOX Coupler Combinations Where reinforcement bar diameters or congestion of reinforcement bar restricts the use of STARTABOX, RFA manufacture and supply a reinforcement bar coupler system. RFA can detail these couplers in conjunction with STARTABOX and can even include them in the same joint detail. STARTABOX Cross Wall Connection Where two walls bisect each other STARTABOX can be manufactured to accommodate the pull out bars for both faces of a wall in one single strip. This ensures the reinforcement runs continuously through the bisecting wall.

Steel Kickers
Steel Kickers are used in kickerless construction of walls eliminating the need for a concrete kicker and saving time in the construction cycle. The pressed steel leg of the T shaped kicker is simply pushed into the wet concrete slab along the appropriate centre line of the proposed wall. Once set in position the adjustable horizontal bar forming the T can be moved from side to side until the correct position is obtained. Once positioned, the horizontal bar can be tapped with a hammer to wedge it into the vertical slots on the leg.

INTERPRETATION In these Conditions (unless the context otherwise requires) the following words shall have the following meanings: "Buyer" means a person to whom the Seller supplies or is to supply Goods and Services pursuant to a Contract; "British Standards" means those standards set by the British Standards Institute applicable to the Goods and Services; "Conditions" means these terms and conditions of sale; "Contract" means a contract for the sale of Goods and Services made by or on behalf of the Seller with a Buyer; "Goods" means the goods which the Seller supplies pursuant to a Contract; "Services" means the services which the Seller provides pursuant to a Contract; "Seller" means ROM Limited a company registered in England and Wales under number 213629 whose registered office is at Eastern Avenue, Trent Valley, Lichfield WS13 6NR; "Working Day" means any day from Monday to Friday (inclusive) which is not Christmas Day, Good Friday or a statutory holiday in England. 2. GENERAL 2.1 These Conditions are to apply in preference to and supersede any terms and conditions referred to offered or relied on by the parties whether in negotiation or at any stage in the dealings between the Seller and Buyer with reference to the Goods to which this Contract relates. They represent the entire agreement between the parties. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing the Seller will not be bound by any standard or printed terms furnished by the Buyer in any document unless such terms are accepted in writing by a duly authorised executive of the Seller. No oral variation of these Conditions can be agreed in any circumstances. 2.2 Any representations made prior to the formulation of the Contract, including any literature, descriptions, specifications, oral or written statements or any combination, the Buyer hereby acknowledges were not relied on by him. The Buyer hereby acknowledges that he has not entered into this Contract on the basis of any representation, made oral or in writing, by the Seller, its employees or agents and that he therefore relied on his judgment alone when entering into the Contract. 2.3 In the event of delivery being delayed by fire, accident, strikes, lockouts, delay in receipt of materials or bought-in goods or any other Condition beyond the reasonable control of the Seller, a reasonable extension of time for delivery shall be granted and the Buyer shall pay such reasonable extra charges as shall have been occasioned by the delay. However, the Seller shall have the right to suspend or terminate the Contract, on giving written notice. During any period of such suspension the Seller shall have the right to terminate the Contract, subject to further notice in writing. Where the Contract is suspended by the Seller all obligations imposed on either party by the contract shall be held in abeyance for the period of such suspension. Where the Seller elects to terminate the Contract, such termination shall not affect liabilities on the Buyers part which fell due before termination. 2.4 Any quotation is without engagement and is subject to written confirmation by the Seller on receipt of order. 2.5 The Sellers quotation (if any) is made on the understanding that the whole of the quantity of the Goods and/or Services quoted for will be ordered and supplied. Cancellation of all or part will not be valid unless accepted by the Seller in writing in which case the Seller will be entitled to revise its quotation. 2.6 Prices quoted are based upon current conditions, costs of labour, materials and statutory charges and are subject to increase without notice to take account of variations of alterations in the same. The Seller accordingly reserves the right to adjust the invoice in the event of any increase in the cost of materials, transport or of labour and/or take account of any other costs, which may arise as a result of legislation or by reason of any other event unknown to the Seller at the date of the quotation. 2.7 The following provisions shall apply to all Goods supplied: 2.7.1 There will be a minimum charge of 100.00 per invoice. 2.7.2 Any orders or call-offs consisting of Rebar under 8 tonnes per delivery or Fabric under 2 tonnes per delivery will attract an additional lump sum charge of not less than 50.00. 2.7.3 There will be an additional minimum charge of 60.00 per crane off-load delivery. 2.7.4 All other deliveries to a value of less than 400.00 will be subject to a minimum carriage charge of 50.00 per delivery. 2.7.5 Where the Buyer requests that the Goods be dispatched by Courier Express, TNT, British Rail, Red Star or similar means, carriage will be charged and payable at an agreed cost. 2.7.6 Any charges referred to in Condition 2.7.2 or 2.7.3 above shall be in addition to the Seller's standard carriage charges. 2.7.7 Rebar schedule amendments notified after receipt of original schedule will be charged at 25.00 per amendment or a lesser figure as may from time to time be agreed. 2.7.8 The Seller reserves the right to make a waiting time charge for the time during which a lorry making a delivery is held on site in excess of a period of one hour. 3. DELIVERY 3.1 Contract dates for the delivery or collection of the Goods or performance of the Services are to be accepted by the Buyer as estimates only and no action will lie for failure on the Sellers part, however caused, to meet any such dates. 3.2 Where the Buyer fails to accept delivery of the Goods, or fails to arrange for their collection at the agreed time, then the risk in such Goods is to lie with the Buyer and the Seller may, without prejudice to any other rights it may have, make such of the following provisions as it considers appropriate: 3.2.1 Store the Goods at the Buyers expense. 3.2.2 Insure the Goods at the Buyers expense. 3.2.3 Make additional charges for any further transport costs. 3.2.4 Proceed to sell the Goods, on giving written notice to the Buyer, and any loss suffered shall be debt owed by the Buyer to the Seller as though it were part of the invoice price. 3.2.5 Maintain a lien on any property of the Buyer with a right to sell any such property which is in the Seller's possession, until such time as the Buyer has paid in full all amounts outstanding. Where the Seller exercises its rights to sell, it will account to the Buyer for any surplus after allowing for all amounts outstanding and for any costs and expenses incurred in relation to the goods. The foregoing provisions are also to apply where delivery or collection of the goods has been delayed or deferred at the Buyers request, even though the Seller may have agreed to such request 3.3 Where the Goods have been received by the Buyer, whether or not such receipt of is acknowledged in writing, the Buyer hereby agrees that he will be deemed to have examined the Goods and to have accepted that they meet fully the obligations imposed by this Agreement on the Seller. 3.4 The following shall apply as to the place of delivery: 3.4.1 The place of delivery shall be such place as has been previously expressly agreed or implied, or where there is no indication, it shall be the Buyer's usual place of business. 3.4.2 Where the place has been previously agreed, the Seller may, at its absolute discretion, agree to a request for alteration, the Buyer being responsible for any additional costs involved. 3.4.3 The foregoing provisions are without prejudice to the Seller's rights to change any place of delivery previously agreed. The Seller will bear any costs necessitated by such change by deduction from invoice price or other means, except where such changes arise from circumstances for which the Buyer could reasonably be held responsible. 3.5 Where a change of place is necessitated for reasons for which the Buyers is properly held responsible, and in the opinion of the Seller no suitable alternative place can be determined, then the contract may be terminated at the discretion of the Seller and in this event an action may be maintainable against the Buyer as a breach of Contract. 3.6 At the cost of the Buyer the Seller will arrange for the transportation of the Goods as the Buyer's agent to the Buyer by a haulage company Such transportation costs shall be included on the invoice to the Seller for the Goods 3.7 Unless otherwise expressly agreed, the Seller may effect delivery in one or more instalments. If delivery is effected by instalments, each instalment shall be treated as a separate Contract. 3.8 Section 32(2) of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 does not apply and the Seller is
not required to give the Buyer the notice specified in section 32(3) of that Act. 4. WARRANTY AND LIABILITY 4.1 Liability for short delivery, defective Goods, damage in transit or faulty workmanship will not be considered unless notification in writing is received by the Seller as follows: 4.1.1 In the case of Goods delivered by the Seller their servants or agents to site, or to the premises of the Buyer, within seven days of such delivery and on condition that the Goods so delivered shall be retained as delivered and made available for inspection by or on behalf of the Seller for a reasonable time after such notification. 4.1.2 In the case of materials collected from the Seller by or on behalf of the Buyer, within seven days of such collection and on condition that the materials so delivered shall be retained as delivered and made available for inspection by or on behalf of the Seller for a reasonable time after such notification. 4.1.3 In the case of Services carried out by the Seller on site, within seven days of the execution of such Services and before being concreted and/or permanently incorporated in the structure. 4.2 For the purposes of this Condition time shall be of the essence and in the absence of such notification as aforesaid the quantity and condition of the Goods delivered or collected as the case may be shall be deemed to be in all respects correct and satisfactory. 4.3 Except as set out in these Conditions, all conditions, warranties and representations, expressed or implied by statute, common law or otherwise, in relation to the supply, non supply or delay in supplying the Goods and Services are excluded to the extent permitted by law. 4.4 Steel reinforcement will be supplied in accordance with the relevant British Standard and applicable standards of UK CARES (or its successor body). Other Goods and Services will be supplied to the Seller's usual quality standard. No warranty as to fitness for purpose is to be implied for any Goods or Services. Tools, jigs or any other special equipment used in the course of manufacture or supply shall remain the property of the Seller. 4.5 It is agreed that a film of rust or mill scale on reinforcement will not constitute grounds for rejection. 4.6 No representation or statement made or purporting to be made by any person on the Sellers behalf shall be binding unless subsequently confirmed in writing by the Seller. 4.7 The Sellers liability in respect of any defective Goods or Services supplied by them or faulty workmanship regarding which a valid claim has been made under Condition 14 hereof will be limited to the delivery to site at the Sellers expense of Goods to replace the defective Goods or re-perform the Services or the remedy of the faulty workmanship and will not extend to any other damage or loss suffered by the Buyer. In particular, but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Seller will not be liable for loss of profit, damage to plant or for any expenditure incurred on goods supplied or remedial works performed or any consequential or special loss or damage sustained by the Buyer nor for any liability to a third party which the Buyer may incur. 4.8 Nothing in these Conditions shall exclude or restrict any liability: 4.8.1 death or personal injury resulting from negligence; or 4.8.2 breach of the obligations arising from section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979; or 4.8.3 fraud or deceit. 4.9 Whenever any third party, including any prosecuting authority, brings an action or intends to bring an action against the Seller as a result of any actual or alleged criminal offence, tort, breach of contract by the Buyer, then the Buyer undertakes to provide the Seller with a complete indemnity in relation to such action. The Buyer shall also indemnify the Seller, to the full extent of any liability incurred, that arises from any negligent act or omission on the part of the Buyer, whether such liability results from litigation or any settlement reached by the Seller with or without the Buyers consent or howsoever. 5. RISK AND TITLE 5.1 All risk in relation to the Goods and Services passes to the Buyer on collection of the Goods by the haulage company pursuant to Condition 3.6. However, this provision is without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 5.2 relating to the Seller's reservation of title. 5.2 Property in the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until the entire invoice price under the Contract or under any other Contract between the Seller and the Buyer, has been paid in full and this provision is to apply to associate or subsidiaries of either party. Until such a time the Buyer holds such Goods as bailee on the Seller's behalf subject to the provisions following: 5.2.1 The Goods will be stored separately and be identifiable as belonging to the Seller subject to requirements of normal usage. 5.2.2 The Goods are covered by the Buyers policy of insurance and he will assign the benefits of such policy to the Seller at its request. 5.2.3 Any monies received by the Buyer for Goods supplied to him by the Seller will be retained in a separate account and he will hold such monies as trustee on the Seller's behalf. 5.2.4 The Goods are to be maintained in a usable condition. 5.2.5 The Seller shall be entitled to enter any premises where the contract goods are stored and take possession of such Goods at any time before full payment is received. 5.2.6 Where the Goods, or any part of such Goods, are incorporated with any other goods, the Buyer will make every reasonable endeavour to ensure that the title in such goods (or in goods that may result from the incorporation of the contract goods), passes to the Seller and the foregoing provisions of this clause shall be considered to apply to such goods. 6. EXPORT SALES 6.1 If the Goods are sold CIF or FOB or on the basis of other international trade terms, the meaning given to such terms in the International Chamber of Commerce INCOTERMS (as revised from time to time) shall apply, except where inconsistent with any of the provisions contained in these Conditions. 6.2 The Buyer shall secure the price of any Goods sold under an international supply contract as defined by section 26 of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 by establishing in the Seller's favour an irrevocable letter of credit on terms satisfactory to the Seller immediately upon receipt of the Seller's acceptance of an Order and confirmed by a UK bank acceptable to the Seller. 7. PAYMENT 7.1 Payment for Goods and Services shall be made on or before the end of the calendar month following the month of delivery or collection and payment for Goods and Services shall not be delayed if the Goods supplied are not used nor shall payment be delayed pending settlement of any claim against the Seller and accordingly the Buyer shall not be entitled to any right of set off against the purchase price. Non-compliance with the Sellers payment terms shall entitle the Seller to withhold future deliveries and / or labour forthwith. The Buyer shall not be entitled to withhold or delay the whole or any part of payment on the grounds of insufficient or no proof of delivery unless the Buyer has given written notice within 7 days of the invoice date requiring proof of delivery. The delivery note/invoice copy receipted on behalf of the Buyer or such other reasonable evidence as may be produced shall be sufficient proof of delivery for this purpose. The Buyer shall otherwise be entitled to require proof of delivery. In the event of payment not being made in accordance with the provisions of this clause then: 7.1.1 The Seller will be entitled to an indemnity from the Buyer for all direct labour, legal and other costs incurred in the recovery of amounts which become overdue and; 7.1.2 Payment for all other goods supplied to the Buyer by the Seller shall forthwith become due for immediate payment. 7.2 The Seller shall (if applicable) add to the price of the Goods and Services, and the Buyer shall pay, an amount equal to any VAT or other sales tax or duty applicable from time to time to sales or supplies of such Goods and Services. 7.3 If the Buyer fails to pay any amount due to the Seller under any Contract on the due date, interest shall be added to such amount at the rate of 4% over the base rate for the time being of Barclays Bank plc for the period from and including the date of receipt (whether before or after judgment). 7.4 If, in the Seller's view, the Buyer's credit-worthiness deteriorates before delivery of the Goods or performance of the Services, the Seller may require payment in full or in part of the price prior to delivery or performance, or the provision of security for payment by the Buyer in such form as is acceptable to the Seller. 7.5 The Seller reserves the right to alter or withdraw at any time any credit allowed to the Buyer. 7.6 The Seller may offset any amount owing to it from the Buyer against any
amount owed to the Buyer by the Seller. 8. INFRINGEMENTS OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS 8.1 The Seller is not liable to the Buyer if the Goods or Services infringe or are alleged to infringe the rights of any third party if such Goods or Services are supplied pursuant to an international supply contract as defined by section 26 of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. 8.2 If at any time it is alleged that the Goods or Services infringe the rights of any third party in the UK or if in the Seller's reasonable opinion such an allegation is likely to be made, the Seller may at its option and its own cost: 8.2.1 modify or replace the Goods or re-perform the Services in order to avoid the infringement; or 8.2.2 procure for the Buyer the right to continue using the Goods or benefit from the Services; or 8.2.3 repurchase the Goods at the price paid by the Buyer less depreciation at the rate the Seller applies to its own equipment. 8.3 If any claim is made or action brought or threatened which alleges infringement of the rights of any third party: 8.3.1 the Buyer shall notify the Seller as soon as it becomes aware of any such claim; 8.3.2 the Seller shall have control over and, at its own cost, shall conduct any such proceedings in such manner as it shall determine; and 8.3.3 the Buyer shall provide all reasonable assistance as the Seller may request. 8.4 The Buyer shall indemnify the Seller against all loss, liability and cost which the Seller incurs in carrying out any work required to be done on or to the Goods or in relation to the Services in accordance with the Buyer's requirements or specifications which give rise to any infringement or alleged infringement of the rights of any third party. 8.5 If the Seller or its employees or agents design the Goods or perform the Services pursuant to a commission from the Buyer (whether to fulfil a Contract or otherwise), any intellectual property rights created in relation to such Goods or Services shall vest in the Seller and the Buyer shall do or procure the doing of all such further acts and execute or procure the execution (as a deed or otherwise) of all such documents as may from time to time be necessary to give full effect to this Condition 8.5. 9.

A waiver of any breach of any of the terms of a Contract or of a default under a Contract shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach or default and shall not affect the other terms of such Contract. 16. VARIATION No variation or alteration of any of the provisions of a Contract or these Conditions shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of each party. 17. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION 17.1 A Contract and any matter arising from or in connection with it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law. 17.2 Each party irrevocably agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts over any claim or matter arising from or in connection with these Conditions.
