4. DELIVERY AND RISK

4.1 Any time or date for the delivery or performance of Products given by the Company shall be taken as an estimate made by the Company in good faith but shall not be binding upon the Company either as a term of the Contract or otherwise. Time for despatch, delivery or performance shall not be of the essence unless previously agreed in writing by an authorised representative of the Company. In no circumstances shall the Company be liable for any loss or damage sustained by the Customer in consequence of failure to despatch, deliver or perform within such time or by such date or in consequence of any other delay in despatch or delivery however caused.

4.2 Unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing, delivery shall be deemed to be made at the Company's Premises and the risk in the Products shall pass to the Customer at the time that the Company notifies the Customer that the Products are available for collection.

4.5 The Company may deliver the Products in instalments and invoice the Customer as if each instalment comprised a separate contract which is subject to these Terms. Where the Products are delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by the Company to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Terms or any claim by the Customer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Customer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.

4.6 The Company reserves the right to put the Products, or any portion thereof, into storage at the Customer's risk and expense in the following cases, or in any other comparable circumstances:

  1. where the Products are about to be despatched and the Customer notifies the Company that the Customer is or will be unable to accept delivery of the Products when tendered; or
  2. where the Customer fails to collect the Products when ready; or
  3. where the Customer refuses to take delivery of the Products or provide the Company with accurate and complete information required in order to deliver the Products.
5. SAMPLES AND DESCRIPTIONS

5.1 The tender of samples of the Products to the Customer and their inspection by the Customer shall not render any sale a sale by sample.

5.2 The Company's specifications, brochures, website, catalogues, price lists and all descriptions of the Products contained therein are merely indications of the kind of goods supplied by the Company and no particulars contained in any of them (nor in any documentation or certifications furnished by the Company) shall bind the Company unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by an authorised representative of the Company.

5.3 The Company reserves the right to make alterations to the design, appearance and specification and/or the packaging of the Products from time to time. Where such alterations are, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, likely to be material, the Company shall give the Customer prior notice of such alterations.

6. PAYMENT

6.1 Subject only to any special terms agreed in writing between the Company and the Customer, the Company shall be entitled to invoice the Customer for the price of the Products on or before the agreed date for delivery or performance of the Products stated in the CompanyÕs written acceptance of the CustomerÕs order.

6.2 The price for the Products shall be paid in the amount(s) or percentages stipulated by the Company at the time(s) or intervals stipulated by the Company. The time of payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract.

6.3 All payments shall be made without any deduction, withholding or set-off.

6.4 Failure by the Customer to pay any invoice by its due date shall entitle the Company:

  1. at its option, to charge interest at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum above Lloyds Bank plcÕs base lending rate from time to time calculated on a daily basis (whether before or after any judgment) until payment in full is made (a part of a month being treated as a full month for the purpose of calculating interest);
  2. to charge the Customer with any costs incurred by the Company in the course of collecting outstanding monies due to the Company from the Customer, including the cost of taking legal action against the Customer in order to obtain payment;

6.6 All payments payable to the Company under the Contract shall become due immediately on its termination despite any other provision.

7. TITLE

7.1 Title to the Products shall not pass to the Customer until the Company has received payment in full (including any interest or other sums payable) in cash or cleared funds:

7.2 Until title to the Products has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall:

  1. hold the Products on a fiduciary basis as the Company's bailee;

  5. notify the Company immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 7.3;
  6. not assign to any other person any rights arising from a sale of the Products without the CompanyÕs written consent (and then only subject to a set of terms and conditions containing a Title clause which is at least as onerous as this clause 7); and
  7. give the Company such information relating to the Products as the Company may require from time to time, but the Customer may use or resell the Products in the ordinary course of its business.

7.3 The Customer's right to possession of the Products shall terminate immediately if:

  1. the Customer has a bankruptcy order made against it or makes an arrangement or composition with its creditors, or otherwise takes the benefit of any statutory provision for the time being in force for the relief of insolvent debtors, or (being a body corporate) convenes a meeting of creditors (whether formal or informal), or enters into liquidation (whether voluntary or compulsory) except a solvent voluntary liquidation for the purpose only of reconstruction or amalgamation, or has a receiver and/or manager, administrator or administrative receiver appointed over its undertaking or any part thereof, or documents are filed with the court for the appointment of an administrator of the Customer, or notice of intention to appoint an administrator is given by the Customer or its directors or by a qualifying floating charge holder (as defined in paragraph 14 of Schedule B1 to the Insolvency Act 1986), or a resolution is passed or a petition presented to any court for the winding-up of the Customer or for the granting of an administration order in respect of the Customer, or any proceedings are commenced relating to the insolvency or possible insolvency of the Customer; or
  2. the Customer suffers or allows any execution distress or diligence, whether legal or equitable, to be levied on its property or obtained against it, or fails to observe or perform any of its obligations under the Contract or any other contract between the Company and the Customer, or is unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986, or a secured lender to the Customer takes any steps to obtain possession of the secured property or otherwise enforce its security, or the Customer ceases or threatens to cease to trade.

7.4 If:

  1. the Customer is late in paying for the Products; or
  2. the Customer is late in paying for any other goods supplied by the Company; or if
  3. before title to the Products passes to the Customer, the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 7.3 or the Company reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen and notifies the Customer accordingly, then

The Customer shall not keep the Products at any premises at which the Customer does not have the right to grant access to the Company. All costs associated with any action taken by the Company pursuant to this clause 7.4 shall be for the sole account of the Customer.

7.5 Without limiting the generality of clause 7.4, if the Products have been used in the production of another product and the Customer has not used or resold said product in the ordinary course of its business, the Company shall have a lien over the value of such part of said product as is comprised of the Products.

7.6 The Company shall be entitled to recover payment for the Products notwithstanding that ownership of any of the Products has not passed from the Company.

7.7 On termination of the Contract, howsoever caused, the Company's (but not the Customer's) rights contained in this clause 7 shall remain in effect.

8. TERMINATION

8.1 The Company may terminate the Contract forthwith by written notice to the Customer if:

If the Company elects to discharge itself from further performance under the Contract, the Customer shall thereupon pay the Contract price, subject to such reasonable allowance (if any) as the Company may in its sole but reasonable discretion grant to the Customer for that part of the Contract which has not been performed by the Company.
