Each instalment will be deemed to be a separate contract and no cancellation or termination of any one contract relating to an instalment will give you the right to cancel or terminate any other contract.

We will inform you at least 3 days in advance of the date on which the Goods will be delivered. Delivery of the Goods (“Delivery”) will be deemed to occur when they have been off-loaded at the delivery address.

4.4 We will use reasonable endeavours to make available for collection or deliver Goods (as applicable) on the date agreed in writing with you for collection or the date informed to you on which the Goods will be delivered (as applicable), but time for collection or delivery of the Goods will not be of the essence of the Contract. Any collection or delivery dates given by us are estimates only save for the dates which we agree with you under Condition ‎4.2 ‎or which we inform you of under Condition ‎4.3.

4.5 If:

      4.5.1 the Goods have not been made available for collection or delivered under Condition ‎4.2 or Condition ‎4.3 (as applicable) within 7 days from and including the date agreed in writing with you for collection or the date informed to you on which the Goods will be delivered (as applicable); and

If you exercise your right of cancellation we will refund to you any monies which you have already paid to us under the Contract and you will not be required to pay any further monies to us under the Contract.

4.6 Save as provided in Condition ‎4.5, you will not be entitled to cancel the Contract or to reject any Goods by reason of a delay in delivery or failure to deliver.

      4.7.2 treat the Contract as repudiated by you and dispose of the Goods in any way we see fit, including by sale to another person. If we sell any of the Goods under this Condition ‎4.7.2 at a price which is less than the relevant Price plus any relevant packaging, insurance, carriage and delivery costs, we will be entitled to charge you for the shortfall; and

      4.7.3 charge you for all costs and expenses which we incur under Conditions ‎4.7.1 and ‎4.7.2.

4.8 If we make available for collection or deliver a quantity of Goods which is less than the quantity set out in the Contract, you will notify us of such shortfall with 3 Business Days of the date of Delivery.

      4.8.1 the provision of such shortfall by us (and whether you require collection by you or delivery by us); or

      4.8.2 a pro rata reduction to the sum invoiced by us under Condition ‎6.5 in respect of the shortfall pursuant to the relevant Contract.

4.9 If you give written notice under Condition ‎4.8.1, we will use reasonable endeavours to make available for collection or deliver the shortfall of Goods (as applicable) on the date agreed in writing with you for collection or the date informed to you on which the Goods will be delivered (as applicable), but time for collection or delivery of the Goods will not be of the essence of the Contract. Any collection or delivery dates given by us are estimates only save for the dates which we agree with you or which we inform you of under this Condition.

4.10 If you give written notice under Condition ‎4.8.2 then the sum invoiced by us under Condition ‎6.5 for the relevant Contract will be adjusted on a pro rata basis to take account of the shortfall.

       5.5.6 keep the Goods insured for their full price against damage or loss on an “all risks” basis with insurers approved by us, (acting reasonably), whenever requested by us produce a copy of the policy of insurance in respect of the Goods to us, do nothing and not omit to do anything which in consequence permits any insurer to refuse to indemnify you in full in accordance with the terms of any insurance policy maintained in respect of the Goods in respect of any claim made under any such insurance policy; and

      5.5.7 procure that any insurance proceeds received in respect of lost or damaged Goods are paid to us, to the extent required to satisfy your indebtedness to us.

5.8 Once we have delivered the Goods to you, we will be entitled to recover payment for the Goods (including by way of an action for the price) notwithstanding that ownership of any of the Goods has not passed from us.

5.9 You grant and will procure that the owner of any relevant third party premises grants, us, our agents, employees and sub-contractors an irrevocable licence at any time to enter any premises where the Goods are or may be stored in order to inspect them, or, where your right to possession, use and resale has terminated, to recover them.

13.3 To prove service of a notice it will be sufficient to prove that the provisions of Condition ‎13.1 were complied with.

13.4 This Condition ‎13 will not apply to the service of any proceedings or other documents in a legal action to which the Civil Procedure Rules apply.

14.1 Subject to and as set out in Condition ‎14.2, the Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior agreement or arrangement in respect of its subject matter and:

       14.1.1 neither party has entered into the Contract in reliance upon, and it will have no remedy in respect of, any misrepresentation, representation or statement (whether made by the other party or any other person and whether made to the first party or any other person) which is not expressly set out in the Contract;

       14.1.2 the only remedies available for any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or statement which was made prior to entry into the Contract and which is expressly set out in the Contract will be for breach of contract; and

14.3 A delay in exercising or failure to exercise a right or remedy under or in connection with the Contract will not constitute a waiver of, or prevent or restrict future exercise of, that or any other right or remedy, nor will the single or partial exercise of a right or remedy prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. A waiver of any right, remedy, breach or default will only be valid if it is in writing and signed by the party giving it and only in the circumstances and for the purpose for which it was given and will not constitute a waiver of any other right, remedy, breach or default.

14.4 If any term of the Contract (including any exclusion from, or limitation of, liability set out in Condition ‎9) is found by any court or body or authority of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unlawful, void or unenforceable, such term will be deemed to be severed from the Contract and this will not affect the remainder of the Contract which will continue in full force and effect. This Condition ‎14.4 will not apply to a term which ceases to have effect under section 233A, 233B or 372A Insolvency Act 1986. You agree that where any term ceases to have effect under any of those Sections because it is subject to an insolvency procedure as referred to in any of those Sections, if that insolvency procedure comes to an end without you becoming subject to a further such insolvency procedure, such term will be deemed once again to have effect in accordance with its terms.

14.5 No variation to the Contract will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by a duly authorised representative or director on behalf of each of the parties.

14.6 Nothing in the Contract and no action taken by the parties in connection with it or them will create a partnership or joint venture or relationship of employer and employee between the parties or give either party authority to act as the agent of or in the name of or on behalf of the other party or to bind the other party or to hold itself out as being entitled to do so.

14.7 Each party agrees that it is an independent contractor and is entering into the Contract as principal and not as agent for or for the benefit of any other person.

14.8 Save as provided in Condition ‎9.8, the parties do not intend that any term of the Contract will be enforceable under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 by any person.

14.10 You will not be entitled to assign, transfer, charge, hold on trust for any person or deal in any other manner with any of your rights under the Contract. You will be entitled to sub-contract your obligation to collect Goods under Condition ‎4.1, but you will not be entitled to sub-contract any of your other obligations under the Contract.

15.4 Subject to Condition ‎15.3, each party waives any objection to, and agrees to submit to, the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales. Each party agrees that a judgment or order of any such court is binding upon it and may be enforced against it in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
