    amended, modified, re-enacted or replaced from time-to-time.
  2. The Contract
    The Contract shall be on these Terms to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions, including any such terms and conditions that are
    purported to be included or applied by the Buyer.
    No terms and conditions contained in the confirmation of order, purchase order or other document of the Buyer will form part of the
    Contract.
  3. Delivery
    Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Place of Delivery shall be the Company’ premises and the Buyer shall take delivery within 7 days of
    the Company notifying the Buyer that the Goods are ready for delivery.
    Any date or period for delivery shall be considered as indicative only, although it is the Company’s policy to try to fulfil all orders within 14
    days. Any Goods not available at the time of the Buyer’s order will be sent to the Buyer, as soon as possible, when received from the
    manufacturer.
    Subject to the other provisions of these Terms, the Company shall not be liable for any loss, whether direct or consequential, economic or
    loss of profits or otherwise, arising directly or indirectly out of any delay in the delivery of the Goods nor will any delay entitle the Buyer to
    terminate or rescind the Contract unless the delay exceeds 60 days.
  4. Risk in and Ownership of the Goods
    Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer on delivery
    Ownership in the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until the Company has received in full in cleared funds all sums due to the Company in
    respect of the Goods and all other sums which are or may become due to the Company from the Buyer on any account.
    Until ownership of the Goods has passed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall:
    hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as the Company’s bailee;
    store the Goods separately from all other goods of the Buyer or any third party in such a way that they remain identifiable as the
    Company’s property;
    not destroy or deface any identifying mark on the Goods or their packaging;
    maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition insured with the Company’s interest noted on the policy and hold any proceeds of such
    insurance on trust for the Company and not mix them with any other money.
  5. Price
    The price for the Goods shall, unless otherwise agreed, be the price set out on the date of delivery in the Company’s price list. The price

    of the defect and give the Company a reasonable opportunity to inspect the Goods in question.
    The Company shall not be liable for any breach of warranty if the Buyer makes any further use of the Goods after giving such notice or
    alters or repairs the Goods without the agreement of the Company.

    Goods.

    fire, industrial disputes or civil commotion, it shall notify the other and the first party’s obligations under these Terms shall be suspended
    until it notifies the other party of the end of such event of Force Majeure.
  10. General
    If any part of these Terms is found to be void or unenforceable by any Court of competent jurisdiction, such part shall be severed from
    these Terms which will otherwise remain in full force and effect.
