1.3    No alteration to any of these Terms and Conditions shall be binding on the Company unless agreed in writing by an authorised representative of the Company.
1.4    The Company contracts with the Purchaser subject to the right on every occasion to cancel Contracts without penalty in cases where either the Purchaser  or the terms of the Contract are unacceptable to the Company`s insurers.

2.      Order and Specification
2.1    All Orders must be made in writing or, in the case of Orders made orally, confirmed in writing by the Purchaser within seven days.

3.2    While the Company will take every reasonable step to maintain quoted prices the Company nevertheless reserves the right to increase quoted prices in accordance with any increase in the cost of labour of materials or carriage to the Company  which arise between the Company`s quotation and the delivery date or when quantities of product used to fulfil the Contract exceed the original specification.

4.    Passing of Risk and Property.
4.1    Where products or other goods are being dispensed by the Company as part of the Contract risk of damage to the goods shall pass to the Purchaser at the time of the goods being discharged from the delivery vehicle at the Purchaser’s site.  Where products or goods are being installed either pursuant to the services being provided by the Company or the Purchasers requirement for installation risk in such goods or products shall pass to the Purchaser on completion of installation.
4.2    Upon passing of risk as provided in 4.1, the Company shall  not be liable for the safety of the goods thereafter and accordingly the Purchaser shall indemnify the Company for any loss of or damage to the goods howsoever caused until full payment has been received from the Purchaser and shall insure the goods against any such risks as may be commercially prudent and will on request provide the Company with details of the insurance policy.
4.3    Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the
goods or any other provision of these Terms and Conditions the property, legal or beneficial in the goods shall not pass to the Purchaser until the Company has received payment in full in respect of the goods and all other goods agreed to be sold by the Company to the Purchaser for which payment is then due.
4.4    Until such time as the property in the goods passes to the Purchaser (and provided the goods are still in existence and have not be resold) the Company shall be entitled at any time to require the Purchaser to deliver up the goods to the Company and, if the Purchaser fails to do so forthwith, enter upon any premises of the Purchaser or any third party where the goods are stored and repossess the goods.
4.5    On delivery the Purchaser shall become the bailee of the goods and shall hold them for the account of the Company until full payment has been made by the Purchaser and shall deal with the goods only in accordance with such instructions as the Company may give from time to time.
4.6    Until full payment by the Purchaser the Purchaser shall ensure that the goods remain readily identifiable as the property of the Company and will on request notify the Company of the place of storage except that the Purchaser may sell and deliver the goods to third parties in the ordinary course of business.
4.7    The Company`s rights under this Condition shall not be affected by any terms agreed in any contract or otherwise howsoever whereby the Purchaser is granted credit with regard to payment of the price for the goods or is permitted by the Company to defer payment beyond the time agreed for doing so in the Contract.

4.9    The proceeds of sale of any disposal together with the proceeds of any insurance claim relating to the goods shall be held by the Purchaser as trustee for the Company until ownership of the goods would have been transferred to the Purchaser a trustee for the Company and if the Company so requires such proceeds will be placed by the Purchaser in a separate bank account which is clearly marked a trust account.
4.10    Should any provision of the Condition 4 be held to be invalid or unenforceable then such provision shall be given no effect and shall be deemed not to be included in these Conditions but without invalidating any of the remaining provisions of these Conditions.  The Purchaser and the Company shall then use all reasonable endeavours to replace the invalid or unenforceable provision by a valid provision the effect of which is as close as possible to the intended effect of the invalid or unenforceable provision.

5.    Delivery and Carriage
5.1    While the Company will take every reasonable step to comply with the Purchaser`s delivery requirements, delivery dates are approximate only  and the Company accepts no liability for any cost caused by delay in delivery or failure to deliver due to any cause.  No delivery delay shall entitle the Purchaser either to terminate the Contract in whole or in part or to reject delivery of any services ordered by the Purchaser or to claim damages or compensation for any loss caused by the delay unless the Purchaser has served notice in writing that the delay is unreasonable and exceptional and the Purchaser has not received the goods within 4 days thereafter.
5.2    The company shall make available on request from the Purchaser such information as is necessary relating to the use of any materials and/or equipment supplied and/or used and its design, specification, performance, handling and disposal, and to any risk to health or safety to which the inherent properties thereof may give rise and to any conditions necessary to ensure it will be safe and without risk to health when it is being used, set, cleaned, maintained, handled, processed, stored, transported, dismantled or disposed of.
5.3   The Purchaser shall ensure that authorised personnel are on site to sign for delivery or installation upon completion of the services.  Any additional work undertaken subsequent to arrival on site shall be deemed to have been ordered by the Purchaser upon signature by authorised personnel of the Company’s delivery note.    
5.4  The Purchaser shall further indemnify the Company against loss or injury during delivery other than as a result of the negligence of the Company.
5.5    The Company shall be entitled to deliver the goods by instalments and in such case each instalment shall constitute a separate Contract and any failure or defect in delivery of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Purchaser to repudiate the Contract as a whole nor to cancel any subsequent instalment.
5.6    Where any goods specified in an Order are not available at the time of delivery such goods will be included in the subsequent or next convenient delivery unless written instructions to the contrary are received by the Company within 7 days after the receipt of the first delivery by the Purchaser.
5.7    In general the site shall be prepared for the services as agreed with the Company beforehand and the Company reserves the right to pass on the costs of any delays caused by incomplete site preparation or other breach of the Purchaser’s contractual obligations which prevent the Company completing the Contract.
5.8    The Company accepts no liability for any damage caused by the passage of its vehicles unless it is agreed that they were driven without due care and attention.

7.3    Even in cases where the Company is satisfied that goods or services delivered to the Purchaser are defective the Purchaser shall not be entitled either to refuse to take delivery of, or to refuse to pay for other goods or services delivered by the Company correctly supplied against the Purchaser`s Order.  Every contract between the Company and the Purchaser shall be treated separately and the Purchaser shall not be entitled to any set off.
