GOODS

4. If the Customer fails to accept or take delivery of the Goods within 10 Business Days of the Supplier notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready, then (except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or by the Supplier’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract in respect of the Goods) the Supplier may:
  1. sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to the Customer for the excess over the price under the Contract or charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price of the Contract; or
  2. store the Goods until delivery takes place, and charge the Customer for all related costs and expenses (including insurance and transit).
5. The Supplier reserves the right to withhold delivery of the Goods in the event that the Customer’s preferred Location for delivery is, in the Supplier’s or the Suppliers delivery agents’ reasonable opinion, unsafe to proceed with instalment or delivery of the Goods.

  3. refund to the Customer the price of the Goods (or a proportionate part of the price), in which case the Supplier shall have no further liability.
8. The Supplier will not consider any claim for compensation, indemnity or refund until liability (if any) has been established or agreed with the Supplier and, where applicable, any relevant insurer. Under no circumstances, shall the invoiced costs of the Goods be deducted or set off by the Customer until the Supplier has passed a corresponding credit note.

2. Thereafter the Customer shall be responsible for the satisfactory care and protection of the Goods and shall take out at its own expense adequate and comprehensive all-risk cover on the Goods for their full replacement value (with a note of the Supplier’s interest as loss payee endorsed thereon) until the Supplier has received payment of the price in full, including all value added tax.
3. Beneficial or legal title to the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the Supplier has received payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for:
  1. the Goods; and
  2. any other goods that the Supplier has supplied to the Customer in respect of which payment has become due.
4. Until title to the Goods has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall:
  1. hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as the Supplier’s bailee;
  2. store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Customer so that they remain readily identifiable as the Supplier’s property and shall, upon request, promptly inform the Supplier of their location;
  3. not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;
  4. maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price on the Supplier’s behalf from the date of delivery;

Such monies shall not be mixed with other money or paid in to the Supplier’s money. Any balance remaining shall be paid to the Customer. The Supplier may at any time revoke the Customer’s power of sale and use. The Customer’s power of sale shall automatically cease if any of the events in clause 8.2 shall occur, when the Customer shall forthwith and without need for notice cease to use or otherwise dispose of the goods not then used, disposed or sold.
5. If, before title to the Goods passes to the Customer, the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 13.1(b) to 13.1(l), or the Supplier reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen and notifies the Customer accordingly, then, provided the Goods have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product, and without limiting any other right or remedy the Supplier may have, the Supplier may at any time require the Customer to deliver up the Goods and, if the Customer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Customer or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.

The Supplier will give the Customer written notice of any such increase one month before the proposed date of the increase. If such increase is not acceptable to the Customer, it shall notify the Supplier in writing within two weeks of the date of the Supplier’s notice and the Supplier shall have the right without limiting its other rights or remedies to terminate the Contract by giving two weeks’ written notice to the Customer; and
  2. (b) increase the price of the Goods, by giving notice to the Customer at any time before delivery, to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods to the Supplier that is due to:

8. The Customer shall pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any deduction or withholding except as required by law and the Customer shall not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against the Supplier in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part.
