supersede any previous terms and conditions of sale of the Company.
2.2 No terms or conditions endorsed upon, delivered with or contained in the Buyer’s purchase order, confirmation of order,

3 DESCRIPTION AND INFORMATION
3.1 The description of the Goods shall be as set out in the Company’s quotation (if any).
3.2 The Buyer shall be responsible to the Company for ensuring the accuracy and sufficiency of its order (including any applicable

incurred by it (and a reasonable element for profit) where variations to Goods are requested by the Buyer and, at the
Company’s absolute discretion, accepted in writing by the Company. Without limitation, the Company may refuse such
request where it has commenced manufacture of the Goods or, in the case of Goods not manufactured by the Company, where
the Company has procured Goods from a third party.

information or data shall form part of the Contract.
3.4 Where samples are to be supplied by the Company, the Buyer shall as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event
within 14 days after receipt notify the Company that the samples are in all respects satisfactory or of any respect in
which the samples are not satisfactory. In default of such notification the Company shall be entitled but not bound to
proceed in the manufacture of the remainder of the Contract. Notwithstanding anything in this condition and notwithstanding
that any goods may have been exhibited to or inspected by the Buyer no Contract shall constitute a sale by sample.
4 DELIVERY
4.1 Delivery of the Goods shall take place at the Delivery Point agreed by the Company and the Buyer or, if no specific Delivery
Point has been agreed, at the Company’s place of business.
4.2 The Buyer shall make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Goods whenever they are tendered for delivery, or
make all arrangements necessary to collect the Goods as soon as being notified that the Goods are available for collection.
4.3 Any dates and times specified by the Company for delivery of the Goods are an estimate only and time for delivery shall not
be of the essence. If no dates are so specified, delivery will be within a reasonable time. Where any Goods are to be supplied
from stock, times quoted are subject to the availability of stock at the expected date of delivery.
4.4 If the Buyer requests that the date for delivery is the delayed the Company may in its absolute discretion accept the Buyer’s
request in writing. If the Company accepts the Buyer’s request the Company shall in any event be entitled to issue an invoice
as applicable on account for the Goods on the original date for delivery as if delivery had occurred at the rate at which would
have been billed had delivery taken place on the original date for delivery.
4.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these conditions, if for any reason the Buyer will not accept delivery of any of
the Goods when they are tendered for delivery, or the Buyer fails to collect the Goods when notified that they are ready for

be liable for all related costs and expenses (including without limitation storage, transportation, handling or other charges and
insurance) incurred by the Company as a result; and
4.5.5 the Company may sell the Goods at any time and, after deducting all costs and expenses, account to the Buyer for any
excess over the price already paid under the Contract or charge the Buyer for any shortfall between the Contract price and such
costs and expenses.
4.6 The Buyer will provide at its risk and expense at the Delivery Point adequate and appropriate equipment and manual labour
for unloading the Goods.

4.8 The Company reserves the right to deliver all or any of the Goods in advance of the estimated delivery date.
4.9 The Company may deliver the Goods by separate instalments. Each separate instalment may be invoiced separately
and, if so, shall be paid for in accordance with the Contract.
4.10 Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract. Failure by the
Company to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these conditions or any claim by the Buyer in
respect of any one or more instalment shall not entitle the Buyer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.
4.12 Without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Company if the Buyer is in breach of any of the terms of the
Contract, or any other contract with the Company, the Company may without notice and at its sole discretion determine
any contract with the Buyer so far as any goods or Goods remain to be delivered or may suspend performance of its
obligations under any such contract until the Buyer’s default is made good.

5 TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION
5.1 Without prejudice to any rights and remedies available to it, the Company shall be entitled, forthwith on written notice
to the Buyer, either to terminate the Contract wholly or in part and/or any other contract with the Buyer, or to withhold

6.3 Notification of non-delivery must be made in writing to the Company within 14 days after the date of the
