loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal costs (calculated on a full indemnity basis) and
all other professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by the Supplier arising out of or in
connection with any claim made against the Supplier for actual or alleged infringement of a third

3.3 The Supplier reserves the right to amend the Goods Specification if required by any applicable
statutory or regulatory requirement, and the Supplier shall notify the Customer in any such event.
4. Delivery of Goods
4.1 The Supplier shall ensure that:
(a) each delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note which shows the date of the Order,
the type and quantity of the Goods (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable), if
the Order is being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Goods remaining to be
delivered; and

Delivery Location.

by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer's failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery
instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
4.5 If the Supplier fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses
incurred by the Customer in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the
cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. The Supplier shall have no liability for any
failure to deliver the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the
Customer's failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions for the Goods or any
relevant instruction related to the supply of the Goods.
4.6 If the Customer fails to take delivery of the Goods at any time, then except where such failure 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:
(a) delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the Business Day
following the day on which the Supplier attempted delivery of the Goods; and
(b) the Supplier shall store the Goods until physical delivery takes place, and charge the Customer
for all related costs and expenses (including insurance).
4.7 If ten Business Days after the goods are deemed to have been delivered in accordance with
clause 4.6(a) the Customer has not taken physical delivery of them, the Supplier may resell or
otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling
costs, account to the Customer for any excess over the price of the Goods or charge the Customer
for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.
4.8 If the Supplier delivers up to and including 5% more or less than the quantity of Goods ordered
the Customer may not reject them but the Supplier shall make a pro rata adjustment to the invoice
for the Goods.
4.9 The Supplier may deliver the Goods by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for
separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an
instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment.
5. Quality of Goods
5.1 The Supplier warrants that on delivery the Goods shall be free from material defects in design,
material and workmanship.
5.2 Subject to clause 5.3, the Supplier shall, at its option, repair or replace the defective Goods, or

Goods do not comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1;
(b) the Supplier is given a reasonable opportunity of examining such Goods; and
(c) the Customer (if asked to do so by the Supplier) returns such Goods to the Supplier's place of
business at the Customer's cost.

(a) the Customer makes any further use of such Goods after giving a notice in accordance with
clause 5.2;
(b) the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow the Supplier's and/or product
manufacturer’s oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or
maintenance of the Goods or (if there are none) good trade practice;
(c) the defect arises as a result of the Supplier following any drawing, design or Goods Specification
supplied by or agreed with the Customer;
(d) the Customer alters or repairs such Goods without the written consent of the Supplier;
(e) the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal working
conditions; or
(f) the Goods differ from their description or any applicable Goods Specification as a result of
changes made to ensure they comply with applicable statutory or regulatory standards.
5.4 Except as provided in this clause 5, the Supplier shall have no liability to the Customer in respect
of the Goods' failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1.
5.5 The terms of these Conditions shall apply to any repaired or replacement Goods supplied by the
Supplier.
6. Title and risk
6.1 The risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer on completion of delivery (or deemed delivery).
6.2 Subject to clause 6.4, title to the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the Supplier receives
payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods and any other goods that the Supplier has
supplied to the Customer in respect of which payment has become due, in which case title to the
Goods shall pass at the time of payment of all such sums.
6.3 Until title to the Goods has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall:
(a) store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Customer so that they remain readily
identifiable as the Supplier's property;

price on the Supplier's behalf from the date of delivery;

time.
6.4 Subject to clause 6.5, the Customer may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its
business (but not otherwise) before the Supplier receives payment for the Goods. However, if the
Customer resells the Goods before that time:
(a) it does so as principal and not as the Supplier’s agent; and
(b) title to the Goods shall pass from the Supplier to the Customer immediately before the time at
which resale by the Customer occurs.
6.5 If before title to the Goods passes to the Customer the Customer becomes subject to any of the
events listed in clause 13.2(b) to clause 13.2(d), then, without limiting any other right or remedy the
Supplier may have:
(a) the Customer's right to resell Goods or use them in the ordinary course of its business ceases
immediately; and
(b) the Supplier may at any time:
(i) require the Customer to deliver up all Goods in its possession which have not been resold, or
