Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company, delivery of the Goods shall take place at the Buyer’s invoice address.

Any dates specified by the Company for delivery of the Goods are intended to be an estimate and time for delivery shall not be made of the essence by notice. If no dates are so specified, delivery shall be within a reasonable time.

The Company shall not be liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss (all three of which terms include, without limitation, pure economic loss, loss of profits, loss of business, depletion of goodwill and similar loss), costs, damages, charges or expenses caused directly or indirectly by any delay in the delivery of the Goods (even if caused by the Company's negligence), nor shall any delay entitle the Buyer to terminate or rescind the Contract unless such delay exceeds 180 days.

If for any reason the Buyer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods when they are ready for delivery, or the Company is unable to deliver the Goods on time because the Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licences or authorisations:

Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer (including for loss or damage caused by the Company’s negligence);

the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and

the Company may store the Goods until delivery, whereupon the Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance).

The Buyer shall provide at the Delivery Point and at its expense adequate and appropriate equipment and manual labour for unloading the Goods.

The Company may deliver the Goods by separate instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid for in accordance with the provisions of the Contract.

Each instalment shall be a separate Contract and no cancellation or termination of any one Contract relating to an instalment shall entitle the Buyer to repudiate or cancel any other Contract or instalment.

Subject to condition 8.4, payment of the price for the Goods is due either in Pounds Sterling or Euros. The relevant currency for payment shall be specified in advance by the Company. Unless agreed in writing otherwise, the Buyer shall pay the price for the Goods within 30 days from the date of invoice.

Time for payment shall be of the essence.

No payment shall be deemed to have been received until the Company has received cleared funds.

All payments payable to the Company under the Contract shall become due immediately on its termination despite any other provision.

The Buyer shall make all payments due under the Contract in full without any deduction whether by way of set-off, counterclaim, discount, abatement or otherwise unless the Buyer has a valid court order requiring an amount equal to such deduction to be paid by the Company to the Buyer.

If the Buyer fails to pay the Company any sum due pursuant to the Contract, the Buyer shall be liable to pay interest to the Company on such sum from the due date for payment at the annual rate of 4% above the base lending rate from time to time of HSBC Bank Plc, accruing on a daily basis until payment is made, whether before or after any judgment.

If the Buyer fails to pay the Company within 30 days of the date of invoice, the Company reserves the right to withdraw any account of the Buyer so that they may only deal in future on a pro forma basis.

Where the Company is not the manufacturer of the Goods, the Company shall endeavour to transfer to the Buyer the benefit of any warranty or guarantee given to the Company.

The Company warrants that (subject to the other provisions of these Conditions) on delivery, and for a period of 6 months from the date of delivery, the Goods shall be of satisfactory quality within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979.

Where the Buyer is a consumer, this warranty is in addition to the Buyer’s legal rights in relation to Goods which are faulty or which otherwise do not conform with these Conditions.

The Company shall not be liable for a breach of the warranty in condition 9.2 unless:

the Buyer gives written notice of the defect to the Company, and, if the defect is as a result of damage in transit to the carrier, within 24 hours of the time when the Goods were delivered to the customer; and

the Company is given a reasonable opportunity after receiving the notice of examining such Goods and the Buyer (if asked to do so by the Company) returns such Goods to the Company’s place of business at the Company’s cost for the examination to take place there or, if appropriate, the Company examines the Goods at the Buyer’s place of business.

The Company shall not be liable for a breach of the warranty in condition 9.2 if:

the Buyer makes any further use of such Goods after giving such notice; or

the defect arises because the Buyer failed to follow the Company’s oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of the Goods or (if there are none) good trade practice; or

the Buyer alters or repairs such Goods without the written consent of the Company.

Subject to condition 9.4 and condition 9.5, if any of the Goods do not conform with the warranty in condition 9.2 the Company shall at its option repair or replace such Goods (or the defective part) or refund the price of such Goods at the pro rata Contract rate provided that, if the Company so requests, the Buyer shall, at the Company's expense, return the Goods or the part of such Goods which is defective to the Company.

If the Company complies with condition 9.6 it shall have no further liability for a breach of the warranty in condition 9.2 in respect of such Goods.

Any Goods replaced shall belong to the Company and any repaired or replacement Goods shall be guaranteed on these terms for the unexpired portion of the 6 month period.
