Link: Business to Business Sale of Goods
Dave Harney
It appears that when selling business to business, they can put almost anything into the contract, it's up to the buyer to decide if they want to do business on there terms !
Transactions between businesses are covered by the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 (UCTA). In general, businesses are assumed to be free to enter into whatever contracts they agree between themselves - so you should make sure you're happy with the contracts you agree with other businesses.
However, the UCTA places a number of restrictions on the contract terms businesses can agree to. Specifically, it lays down rules for the ways in which vendor businesses can use exclusion clauses to limit liability in certain areas. The business selling the goods or services isn't allowed to exclude liability for:
death or injury - under any circumstances
losses caused by negligence - unless to do so is 'reasonable'
defective or poor quality goods - unless to do so is 'reasonable'
