3. PRICES

3.1 The prices payable for the Goods shall be those contained in the Company’s sales order acknowledgement (or any other written confirmation from the Company of the agreed price), or, if no price is quoted, the price set out in the Company’s published price list in force as at the date of delivery.
3.2 The Company shall have the right, by giving notice to the Buyer at any time before delivery, to increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods that is due to:
(a) any request by the Buyer to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered, or the specification;

(b) any delay caused by any instructions of the Buyer or failure of the Buyer to give the Company adequate or accurate information or instructions.

(c) the cost of raw materials or parts fabricated by manufacturing partners or third parties increases or changes significantly.

(a) the Goods are to be supplied on an ex works basis (as set out in the Order or the Company’s sales order acknowledgment); or
(b) the quantity of Goods ordered is less than the Company’s minimum order requirement at the relevant time.
3.5 In any case where Goods are sold CIF or FOB or on the basis of other international trade terms, the meaning as laid down in Incoterms 2000 (as revised from time to time) shall apply except where inconsistent with these Conditions.
3.6 Subject always to Condition 1.4, the Company may invoice the Buyer for the Goods on or at any time after manufacture.

4. PAYMENT

4.1. The Company requires payment in advance against a pro forma invoice for all first Orders and has discretion to request payment in this way for any other and/or subsequent Orders.
4.2 The time for delivery does not start running until payment has been made, where pro forma payment is requested.

Payment shall be made to the bank account nominated by the Company. Time for payment is of the essence.
4.4 If the Buyer fails to make any payment due to the Company under the Contract by the due date for payment, the Buyer shall pay interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 8% per annum above Bank of England’s base rate from time to time. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. The Buyer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount. The Company also reserves the right to recover all associated costs of recovery of such monies.
4.5 The Buyer shall pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any deduction and the Buyer shall not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against the Company to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part. The Company may at any time, without limiting any other rights or remedies it may have, set off any amount owing to it by the Buyer against any amount payable by the Company to the Buyer.
4.6 The Company reserves the right to suspend the provision of Goods to the Buyer where any amounts are overdue under any contract with the Buyer until all such amounts have been paid.
4.7 If in the opinion of the Company the credit-worthiness of the Buyer shall have deteriorated prior to delivery of the Goods, the Company may require full or partial payment of the price prior to delivery or provision of security for payment by the Buyer in a form acceptable to the Company.

5. DELIVERY

5.1 Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. The Company shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Buyer’s failure to provide the Company with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
5.2 Delivery shall be at the Buyer’s premises or such other premises as agreed by the Company. The Buyer shall be solely responsible for the unloading of Goods at the point of delivery (even if unloading is not carried out by the Buyer or its agents). Unless agreed in writing by the Company, the Buyer (or its agents) shall unload and inspect the Goods for damage and shortage immediately on their arrival at its premises and notify the Company of any defects or failures in accordance with Condition 2.2.
5.3 Unless otherwise expressly agreed, the Company may effect delivery in one or more instalments. Each instalment shall be treated as a separate Contract and may be invoiced separately. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Buyer to cancel any other instalment.
5.4 If the Buyer refuses or fails to take delivery of Goods tendered in accordance with the Contract or fails to take any action necessary on its part for delivery and/or shipment of the Goods, the Company shall be entitled to terminate the Contract with immediate effect, to dispose of the Goods as the Company may determine, and to recover from the Buyer any loss and additional costs incurred as a result of such refusal or failure (including without limitation storage costs from the due date of delivery).
5.5 Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing, the Company may effect delivery of the Goods by whatever means the Company thinks most appropriate.
5.6 When it is necessary for the Buyer to supply any labels or identification or supply particulars in respect of the Goods or do any other act to enable the Company to effect deliveries, such labels, identification and particulars must be furnished or act performed within a reasonable time to enable the Company to deliver by any relevant delivery date(s).
5.7 The weights and/or quantities of any Goods as ascertained by the Company upon despatch from the Company’s works shall be prima facie evidence of the weight/quantity received by the Buyer on delivery.
5.8 If the Company fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the price of the Goods. The Company 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 Buyer’s failure to provide the Company with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

6. TITLE AND RISK

6.1. The risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer when the Company delivers the Goods to the Buyer or any other person to whom the Company has been authorised by the Buyer to deliver the Goods, whether expressly or by implication, save where Goods are supplied on an ‘ex works’ basis (as set out in the Order or the Company’s sale order acknowledgement) in which case risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer on collection of the Goods. The Buyer is responsible for insuring the Goods from the time when risk in the Goods passes to the Buyer.
6.2 Goods returned by the Buyer to the Company shall at all times be at the Buyer’s risk until delivery to the Company’s premises.
6.3 Any property of the Buyer in or under the Company’s possession or control and all property supplied to the Company on behalf of the Buyer shall be held by the Company at the Buyer’s risk.
6.4 From the time of delivery until title to the Goods passes to the Buyer in accordance with these Conditions, the Buyer shall insure the Goods for their full replacement value with a reputable insurer. Upon request, the Buyer shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Company’s interest in the Goods is noted on the insurance policy. Until title to the Goods passes to the Buyer, the proceeds of any claims on such insurance policy shall be held on trust for the Company and the Buyer shall forthwith account to the Company with such proceeds.
6.5 Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk, title to the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer and the Goods shall remain the property of the Company until the earlier of: (a) the Company receives payment in full in cleared funds for the Goods and any other goods the Company has supplied to the Buyer and 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; and (b) the Buyer resells the Goods, in which case title to the Goods shall pass to the Buyer at the time specified in Condition 6.7.
6.6 Until title to the Goods has passed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall: (a) not part with possession of the Goods other than in accordance with Condition 6.7; (b) take proper care of the Goods and take all reasonable steps to prevent any damage to or deterioration of them and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery; (c) not destroy, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods; (d) keep the Goods free from any charge, lien or other encumbrance and store the Goods separately from other goods of the Buyer or third parties in such a way to show clearly that they belong to the Company; (e) notify the Company forthwith upon the happening or any of the events set out in Condition 14; and (f) give the Company such information relating to the Goods as the Company may from time to time require.
6.7 Subject to Condition 6.8, the Buyer may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business (but not otherwise) before the Company receives payment for the Goods, provided that:
(a) the Buyer shall sell the Goods as principal and the Buyer shall not be empowered to commit the Company to any contractual relationship with or liability to such customer or any other person;
(b) title to the Goods shall pass from the Company to the Buyer immediately before the time at which resale by the Buyer occurs.
6.8 If before title to the Goods passes to the Buyer, the Buyer becomes subject to any of the events listed in Condition 14.1, then, without limiting any other right or remedy the Company may have:
(a) the Buyer’s right to resell the Goods or use them in the ordinary course of its business ceases immediately; and
(b) the Company may at any time require the Buyer to deliver up all Goods in its possession that have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product and, if the Buyer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Buyer or of any other third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.
6.9 The Buyer hereby grants an irrevocable right and licence to the Company and its authorised agents to enter upon all or any of the Buyer’s premises with or without vehicles during normal business hours for the purpose of inspecting and/or repossessing Goods to which it has retained title. This right and licence shall continue to subsist notwithstanding the termination for any reason of any Contract and is without prejudice to any accrued rights of the Company under such Contracts or otherwise.

7. THIRD PARTY RIGHTS

7.1. Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents), its affiliates (and their officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents), and its and its affiliates’ subcontractors (including manufacturing partners) from and against all claims, losses, liabilities, penalties, third party claims, damages, fines, governmental sanctions and other expenses (including attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses, interests, customs duties, taxes) resulting from, arising out of or relating to:

(a) the Buyer commits a material breach of any term of the Contract and (if such a breach is remediable) fails to remedy that breach within 7 days of that party being notified in writing to do so;
