specification or quantity the Seller will not be held liable.

(less any discount to which the Buyer is entitled, but without any other
deduction). The time of payment of the price shall be of the essence of the
Contract.
7.2 The Seller reserves the right not to dispatch Goods if the Buyer's
account with the Seller is overdrawn, or if the Seller is otherwise in breach
of any payment obligation to the Seller. Goods will be delivered once the
account is placed in sufficient credit or such breach is remedied. The Seller
will hold the Goods for the Buyer, at the Buyer's expense, for a period of up
to thirty (30) days, to enable the Buyer to remedy the situation, failing
which the Seller shall be released from any further obligation towards the

or legal costs incurred, from the debtor on the overdue amount.

notified place of business or to such other place of delivery as is agreed
between the Parties in Writing prior to the Goods being passed to the
carrier.
8.2 Any dates specified for delivery of the Goods are intended to be
estimates only and time of delivery may not be of the essence. If no dates
for delivery are specified, delivery will be within a reasonable time.
Subject to the other provisions of these Conditions the Seller will not be
liable for late delivery of the Goods (even if caused by the Seller's
negligence), nor will any delay entitle the Buyer to terminate or rescind the
Contract unless such delay exceeds 180 days.
8.3 The Seller reserves the right to elect the carrier of the goods,
unless otherwise agreed in Writing between the parties. The Seller also
reserves the right to arrange adequate insurance, either independently or
through the carrier, for the Goods up until the time when they are delivered,
to the place agreed between the parties, and a Proof of Delivery has been
issued, at which time risk passes to the Buyer.
8.4 The Goods are at the risk of the Buyer from the time of delivery.
If for any reason the Buyer will not accept delivery of any of the Goods when
they are ready for delivery, or the Seller is unable to deliver the Goods on
time because the Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents,
licenses or authorizations, risk in the Goods will pass to the Buyer
(including for loss or damage caused by the Seller's negligence) from the
moment of attempted delivery, the Goods will be deemed to have been delivered
and the Seller may store the Goods until delivery whereupon the Buyer will be
liable for all related costs and expenses (including without limitation
storage and insurance).
8.5 If the Goods are to be delivered in installments, each delivery
shall constitute a separate contract and failure by the Seller to deliver any
one or more of the installments in accordance with these Conditions or any
claim by the Buyer in respect of any one or more installments shall not
entitle the Buyer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.
8.6 If the Seller fails to deliver the Goods (or any installments) for
any reason other than Force Majeure (as defined below) or the Buyer's fault,
and the Seller is accordingly liable to the Buyers, the Seller's liability
shall be limited to the excess (if any) of the cost to the Buyer (in the
cheapest available market) of similar goods to replace those not delivered
over the price of the Goods.
9. Title
9.1 Property in the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until the Seller
has received in full (in cash or cleared funds) all sums due to it in respect
both of the Goods, and all other sums which are or which become due to the
Seller from the Buyer on any account.
9.2 Until property in the Goods has passed to the Buyer the Buyer
must: store the Goods (at no cost to the Seller) separately from all other
goods of the Buyer or any third party in such a way as they remain readily
identifiable as the Seller's property; not destroy, deface or obscure any
identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods; maintain the Goods
in satisfactory condition insured on the Seller's behalf for their full price
against all risks to the reasonable satisfaction of the Seller. On request
the Buyer shall produce the policy of insurance to the Seller. The Seller
shall be entitled to recover payment for the Goods notwithstanding that
property in the Goods has not passed from the Seller. The Buyer grants the
Sellers, its agents and employees an irrevocable license at any time to enter
any premises where the goods are or may be stored in order to inspect them
or, where the Buyer's right to possession has terminated, to recover them.
The Buyer shall not be entitled to pledge or in any way charge by way of
security for any indebtedness any of the Goods which remain the property of
the Seller, but if the Buyer does so all monies owing by the Buyer to the
Seller shall, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the
Seller, forthwith become due and payable.

Liability
10.1 All Goods are sold subject to the express warranty terms

other person including, without limitation, any loss of profit, loss of
earnings, damage to property, business interruption, damage to reputation or
goodwill or any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage (save in
respect of death or personal injury resulting from negligence) and any term,
condition or representation to the contrary whether express or implied by
statute, common law or otherwise is hereby expressly excluded as far as it is
possible to exclude it, save for fraudulent misrepresentation to which this
exclusion shall not apply.
10.3 The liability of the Seller to the Buyer for any loss or damage
of whatsoever nature and however caused shall be limited to and in no
circumstances shall exceed the price paid by the Buyer for the Goods
11. Defective Goods
11.1 The Seller reserves the right at its sole discretion to decide
whether any goods are defective. Defective goods will either be replaced with
a Good of the same or similar specification or will be repaired. If
replacement or repair is not practicable, the Seller will credit the value of
the defective Good (as detailed on the invoice) to the Buyer's account. The
Seller shall have no other liability in respect of defective Goods. All
defective Goods must be reported on the Website within seven (7) days of the
delivery date and must be returned in accordance with the following RMA
procedure. All Goods that are reported defective during the warranty period,
will be given an RMA number and must be returned following the Returns
Materials Authorization procedure, details of which can be provided to the
Buyer on request. No Goods may be returned except pursuant to the RMA
procedure. No goods may be returned without a valid RMA number displayed in
the packaging. Any defects discovered shall not entitle the Buyer to rescind
the contract. The Buyer will pay for the Goods to be returned to the Seller,
but will be reimbursed for these costs if the defect is reported to the
Seller within the warranty period and returned to the Seller in adherence
with the RMA procedure. Transport charges shall be charged to the Buyer if
the defect is reported after the expiration of the warranty period, if the
Good is not returned in compliance with the RMA procedure, and/or if the Good
is returned in compliance with this clause but proves not to be defective. AddVant
