2 Basis of Sale, Order and Specification
2.1 Seller will sell and Buyer will purchase Goods in accordance with any written quotation of Seller which is accepted by Buyer or any written order of Buyer which is accepted in writing by Seller subject in each case to these Conditions which will govern Contract to the exclusion of and in priority to any other terms and conditions.
2.2 The quantity, quality, description and specification of Goods will be set out in Contract. Seller reserves the right to make any changes in the specification of Goods which is required to conform to any applicable safety or other statutory requirements.
2.3 Goods are offered for sale subject to availability at the time of Contract being entered into and Seller will have no liability whatsoever to Buyer if Goods are unavailable.
2.4 If Goods are to be sourced or produced by Seller, or any process is to be applied to Goods by Seller, in accordance with Buyer's specification, Buyer will indemnify Seller in full against all loss, costs, damages, charges and expenses (together Loss) incurred by Seller or for which Seller may be liable in connection with Seller's use of Buyer's specification.
2.5 Seller's employees or agents are not authorised to make any representations concerning Goods unless confirmed by Seller in writing. In entering into any Contract, Buyer acknowledges that it does not rely on, and waives any claim for breach of, any such representations which are not so confirmed.
3 Delivery
3.1 Delivery of Goods will, unless otherwise specified in Contract, be by Seller delivering or arranging delivery of Goods to Buyer's specified delivery address. Buyer will ensure the suitability for access of Seller's vehicles and Buyer will provide manpower and facilities to promptly unload Goods. If Contract specifies that Buyer is to collect Goods, Buyer will collect or arrange collection of Goods at Seller's premises forthwith after Seller has notified Buyer that Goods are ready for collection, have sole responsibility for loading Goods and will indemnify Seller for any Loss arising therefrom.
3.2 Any times/dates given for delivery or collection of Goods are approximate only and Seller will not be liable for any delay in delivering Goods/making Goods available for collection howsoever caused and Buyer may not cancel Contract by reason thereof. Time and date for delivery/collection of Goods will not be of the essence unless Contract provides otherwise. Goods may be delivered/made available for collection by Seller in advance of the intended delivery/collection time and date upon giving reasonable notice to Buyer.
3.3 Goods may be supplied in instalments. Failure by Seller to supply any one or more of the instalments or any claim by Buyer in respect of any one or more instalments will not entitle Buyer to treat Contract as a whole as repudiated.
3.4 If Buyer fails to collect Goods/take delivery of Goods (or fails to give Seller adequate delivery instructions at the time stated for delivery) otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond Buyer's reasonable control or by reason of Seller's fault, Buyer will nevertheless remain liable to pay the full price for such Goods (and clause 4 will apply).
3.5 Seller will not be liable to Buyer or be deemed to be in breach of contract by reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform, any of Seller's obligations in relation to Goods, if the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond Seller's reasonable control or Buyer's fault. If Seller fails to supply Goods for any reason other than any cause beyond Seller's reasonable control or Buyer's fault, and Seller is accordingly liable to Buyer, Seller's liability will (in addition to any other limits or any exclusions of liability in these Conditions) be limited to the excess (if any) over the price of Goods of the cost to Buyer (in the cheapest available market) of similar goods to replace those not delivered.
4. Buyer Default
In the event of cancellation of any Contract by Buyer, or deferral of delivery by Buyer, Seller may store Goods until Buyer collects Goods/accepts delivery of Goods and charge Buyer for the reasonable costs (including, without limitation, insurance) of storage and/or sell Goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) offset such amount against any amount then due by Buyer to Seller, and charge Buyer for difference between the price under Contract and the re-sale price. Buyer will indemnify Seller in full against all Loss incurred by Seller as a consequence of the matter which resulted in this clause applying).
5 Price and Payment
5.1 Sellers' price list is for guidance only and may be varied by Seller without notice at any time prior to the entering into of Contract. The price of Goods will be as stated in Contract save that Seller reserves the right, by giving notice to Buyer at any time before delivery/collection, to vary the price of Goods to reflect any increase in the cost to Seller which is due to any factor beyond the control of Seller (including, without limitation, transportation or raw material costs, or where new, additional, or increased taxes, tariffs or duties are levied by any competent authority), or which is caused by any instructions of Buyer or failure of Buyer to give Seller adequate instructions.
5.2 Unless otherwise stated, the price is exclusive of VAT which will be added to the price at the applicable rate and, where Seller agrees to deliver Goods, Buyer will be liable to pay Seller's charges for transport, packaging and insurance.
5.3 Unless credit terms have been agreed between Seller and Buyer in writing, Goods will be invoiced and paid for in full prior to delivery/collection. Where credit terms have been agreed, Buyer will pay for Goods in accordance with such credit terms and Seller will be entitled to invoice Buyer for the price of Goods on or at any time after despatch of Goods (even where Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery of Goods) or, where Goods are to be collected, at any time after Seller has notified Buyer that Goods are ready for collection. Credit terms may be revised or revoked at any time by Seller.
5.4 Buyer will pay for Goods without set-off, compensation or deduction.

6 Risk and Property
6.1 Risk of damage to or loss of Goods will pass to Buyer in the case of Goods to be collected at Seller's premises, when Seller notifies Buyer that Goods are available for collection; or in the case of Goods to be delivered, when delivered (or, if Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery of Goods, when Seller tenders delivery).

7.2 Buyer will be responsible, at its expense, for inspecting the Goods upon delivery or collection.

Where
Buyer validly notifies any such defect/failure, Seller will be entitled at its sole discretion to refund to Buyer the price of Goods (or a proportionate part of the price) if the price of Goods has been paid or repair or replace Goods (or the part in question) free
of charge but Seller will have no further liability to Buyer in damages or otherwise
7.3 Except to the extent implied by law which cannot be excluded, Seller will not be liable to Buyer for any indirect/consequential loss including, without limitation, financial loss, loss of profits, production, anticipated savings or income. Buyer should insure against all such indirect/consequential losses.
7.4 Seller's maximum liability in damages to Buyer will in no event exceed the replacement value of the Goods the subject of the Contract.
7.5 Where any supplier validly excludes or limits its liability to Seller in respect of Goods the liability of Seller to Buyer will be correspondingly excluded or limited.
