    1. Subject to clause 5.3, if: (a) the Buyer gives notice in writing to the Seller, within 5 days from the date of delivery or (where the defect was not apparent on reasonable inspection) within 7 days after discovery, that some or all of the Goods do not comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1; and (b) the Seller is given a reasonable opportunity of examining such Goods; and (c) the Buyer (if asked to do so by the Seller) returns such Goods to the Seller’s place of business, then the Seller may, at its option, either repair or replace the defective Goods, or refund the price of the defective Goods in full.

The Seller shall not be liable for Goods’ failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1 in any of the following events: (a) the Buyer makes use of such Goods after giving notice in accordance with clause 5.2; (b) the defect arises because the Buyer failed to follow the Seller’s instructions as to the storage of the Goods or (if there are none) good trade practice regarding the same; (c) the Buyer alters or repairs such Goods without the written consent of the Seller; or (d) the defect arises as a result of wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal storage or working conditions.
    3. Whilst every effort will be made to supply Goods in accordance with samples and/or specifications set out in its literature, the Seller reserves the right to modify specifications, designs, materials and quality as circumstances dictate or as may be required to conform with any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements or such other changes as may be required or made by the manufacturer of the Goods. Any specifications, drawings and illustrations contained in the Seller’s literature are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods described in them and they do not form part of the contract unless expressly so stated by the Seller in writing.

    1. Unless otherwise agreed in the Order Confirmation, delivery of the Goods shall be to a single delivery address (the Delivery Location). The Delivery Date is approximate only and delivery by that date cannot be guaranteed.

The Goods may be delivered by the Seller in advance of the quoted delivery date upon giving notice to the Buyer.
    2. The Seller may deliver the Goods by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately.  Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract.  Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Buyer to cancel any other instalment.  
    3. The Buyer shall make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Goods intended for delivery. 
    4. If the Buyer fails to pay an invoice, take delivery of the Goods or give the Seller adequate delivery instructions then without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller may cancel the contract and invoice the Buyer for 25% of the order value to compensate the Seller for any loss and costs incurred.
  2. Title and Risk
    1. Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer on their arrival at the Delivery Location or, if the Buyer wrongly fails to take delivery of the Goods, the time when the Seller has tendered delivery of the Goods.
    2. Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until the Seller has received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of the Goods and there are no other sums whatsoever due from the Buyer to the Seller.
    3. Until title to the Goods has passed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall: (a) hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as the Seller’s bailee (b) keep the Goods (at no cost to the Seller) separately from all other goods in its possession so that they remain readily identifiable as the Seller’s property; (c) maintain the Goods in a satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery.
    4. Notwithstanding that the Goods (or any of them) remain the property of the Seller the Buyer may sell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of the Buyer’s business for the account of the Seller. Any such sale or dealing shall be a sale or use of the Seller’s property by the Buyer on the Buyer’s own behalf and the Buyer shall deal as principal when making such sales or dealings. Until the property in the Goods passes from the Seller the entire proceeds of sale or otherwise of the Goods shall be held in trust for the Seller and shall not be mixed with any other money or paid into any overdrawn bank account and shall be at all material times identified as the Seller’s money.
    5. The Seller may enter upon any premises owned occupied or controlled by the Buyer where the Goods are situated and repossess the Goods. On the making of such a request the rights of the Buyer under clause 7.4 shall cease.
