Accepted orders cannot be cancelled without Our consent and then only on the basis that We are compensated for any loss We may suffer as a result.

Payment

Unless We agree in writing to give You credit, You must pay for all orders at time of dispatch from Us. If credit is extended to You, You warrant that as far as it you are aware neither You nor any of Your shareholders, controllers or owners are insolvent. We may reduce or withdraw any credit extended to You and require You to immediately pay all moneys owed to the Us if You: (i) breach any of these Terms and Conditions of Sale; or (ii) in Our reasonable opinion, may be or is suffering from an insolvency event. (iii) If any amount You owe to Us is not paid within 7 days of the due date then all of the monies that You owe Us on any account becomes immediately due and payable; and without limiting Our other rights We may suspend the supply of service and defer or cancel any outstanding orders.

The acceptance by Us of any cheque shall not constitute payment unless and until the cheque has been honoured. Without prejudice to any other rights of action We may have, unless payment is made to Us on the due date for payment, Your account will be automatically suspended until it is brought within the Terms and Conditions of Sale (unless otherwise arranged and confirmed in writing by Us such as a bona fide dispute). You agree to pay interest to Us on all overdue charges at the rate of 1.5% per month payable monthly (or such lesser rate as We may specify in writing) from the due date for payment until actual payment thereof, excepting any bona fide dispute which has been set aside. In the event of an account not being paid by the due date You will pay Us all debt collection agency costs and legal fees (on an indemnity basis) incurred by Us in obtaining payment of the amount from You. In addition, interest is payable on such debt collection agency costs and legal fees at the cumulative rate of 1.5% per month calculated monthly from the date on which they are paid by Us until payment of the same by You to Us.

Delivery

Delivery will be made to the location specified on the order form and You shall be liable for all freight costs. No claim for damage in transit or shortage in delivery will be considered in cases where We have agreed to deliver the Goods to You unless a separate notice in writing is given to the carrier concerned and Us immediately after the Goods are received followed by detailed and complete claim in writing within 2 trading days of delivery. In the event of loss or destruction of the Goods in transit, advice of non-delivery must be submitted in writing to the carrier and to Us within 7 days of the date of consignment. Any period or dates quoted for delivery are to be regarded as approximate only and the Company accepts no liability for any loss, injury damage or expenses consequent upon any delay in delivery of Goods. Delay due to circumstances not reasonably within the control of Us shall not entitle You to cancel any order or to refuse to accept delivery.

When We are required to procure overseas Goods to fulfil an order, the order is subject to confirmation by Us.

The risk in any Goods supplied by Us to You shall pass to You when such Goods are delivered to You or into custody on your behalf. Ownership passes to you on payment. We remain the owner of all of the goods covered by an order until you have paid the full price for those goods plus any associated charges. Payments do not count until we receive full and final payment of cleared funds into our nominated bank account . Until you become the owner of particular goods, we may enter into any premises or vehicle if we have reasonable grounds to expect that we may find any part of the goods there. If you default in paying any part of the price or associated charges in connection with an order we may re-take possession of the goods supplied under the order. That applies even if we hold some negotiable instrument or security for the amount unpaid. If you resell any of the goods (even if mixed with other goods) before becoming the owner, you are acting as our selling agent although only to the absolute minimum extent necessary to protect our ownership.
