5.4 The time of payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract.

5.5 Where Goods are delivered by instalments the Company may invoice each instalment separately and the Customer shall pay such invoices in accordance with these Conditions.

6.1 Delivery shall mean delivery of the Goods to the Customer at the Company's premises or delivery of the Goods to a carrier nominated by the Customer or to the Customer’s business address by the Company whichever as agreed or deemed most appropriate by the Company. In the absence of specific instructions, the Company may nominate a carrier or act as carrier whichever is deemed most appropriate by the Company.

6.2 The Customer shall bear all transport, storage, insurance and forwarding costs. The Company can immediately increase transport charges from time to time to reflect any increase in costs the Company have to pay to provide this service (for example, increased costs of fuel) provided the Company give the Customer notice within a reasonable time of that increase.

6.3 Non-delivery of the Goods must be notified to the Company within 7 days of the invoice date. Failure to do so shall preclude the Customer from any rights or remedies against the Company whatsoever. If the Company fails to deliver the Goods for any reason other than any cause beyond the Company's reasonable control or the Customer's fault, and the Company is accordingly liable to the Customer, the Company's liability shall be limited to the excess (if any) of the cost to the Customer (in the cheapest available market) of similar goods to replace those not delivered over the price of the Goods.

6.4 The Customer is required to acknowledge receipt of all Goods by signing the delivery note supplied by the Company or its agents. The delivery note should then be returned to the Company.

6.6 If the Customer fails or refuses to take delivery of the Goods on the due date or fails to give the Company adequate instructions for delivery at the time stated then he shall be liable to the Company for any loss or costs arising from such failure or refusal and for a reasonable charge by the Company for the care custody storage and insurance of the goods until actual delivery. The Company may also sell the goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to the Customer for the excess over the price under the Contract or charge the Customer for any shortfall below the Contract price. This provision shall be in addition to and not in substitution of any other payment or damages for which the Customer may become liable in respect of his failure to take delivery at the appropriate time.

6.7 Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods are approximate only and the Company shall not be liable for any delay in despatch or delivery or any loss or damage thereby arising. Quotations for Goods to be supplied from stock are made subject to such Goods being in stock and available on acceptance of the Order. Time of delivery shall not be the essence, and the Customer shall not be able to cancel the Contract, refuse delivery of the Goods or withhold payment on account of any delay howsoever caused.

6.8 The Customer shall be responsible at his own expense and risk for the unloading of the goods. Where Goods are taken to a site and not unloaded, due to the absence of sufficient labour or machinery to offload, then the Customer shall be responsible for redelivery charges together with those others as outlined above.

6.9 The Company reserves the right to deliver the Goods in instalments and each such instalment shall constitute a separate Contract. Failure by the Company to deliver anyone or more of the instalments shall not entitle the Customer to treat the contract as a whole as repudiated.

7 Risk

7.1 The risk of damage to or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Customer;

7.1.1 in the case of the Goods to be delivered at the Company's premises, at the time when the Company notifies the Customer that the Goods are available for collection; or

7.1.2 in the case of Goods to be delivered otherwise than at the Company's premises, at the time of delivery or, if the Customer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Goods, the time when the Company has tendered delivery of the Goods.

If delivery is not refused, and the Company is not so notified within the time limit, the Customer shall not be entitled to reject the Goods and the Company shall have no liability for such defect or failure, and the Customer shall be bound to pay the price as if the Goods had been delivered in accordance with the Contract.

7.3 Unless the condition in clause 7.2 is strictly observed, the Company shall be under no liability whatsoever in respect of any loss or damage in transit (or non-delivery) of the whole or any part of the Goods.

8.1 Title in the Goods or any part of them or in any Goods of the Company (whether delivered under this Contract or otherwise) shall not pass to the Customer until the Customer shall have paid in full all monies owing under this or any other Contract. The Customer shall keep all Goods properly stored and protected and separate from the goods of third parties in such a way that the Goods can clearly be recognised as the property of the Company.

8.2 If the Customer shall be in breach of the terms of this Contract then all monies owed by the Customer to the Company, whether under this Contract or otherwise, shall become immediately due and payable and the Customer hereby grants to the Company or its agents an irrevocable licence to enter upon the Customer's premises to recover and/or resell such Goods (irrespective of whether they have become fixtures) as the Company may deem necessary to recover all sums owing to it by the Customer together with any reasonable costs of the Company so incurred. This right shall continue to subsist notwithstanding the termination of the Contract through the happening of any of the events specified in these Conditions or otherwise and without prejudice to any accrued rights of the Company under the Contract.

8.5 If clause 8.1 is held to be invalid to reserve the Company's title to Goods delivered under this Contract by reason of the reservation of title until all Goods delivered to the Customer by the Company have been paid for then nevertheless ownership of the Goods delivered under this Contract shall remain with the Company until those Goods themselves have been paid for. Until such time as the title to the Goods passes to the Customer, the Customer shall be entitled to sell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business, but shall account to the Company for the proceeds of sale or otherwise of the Goods, whether tangible or intangible, including insurance proceeds, and shall keep all such proceeds separate from any monies or property of the Customer and third parties and in the case of tangible proceeds, stored, protected and insured.

8.6 In the event of the Goods or any part thereof being incorporated in or mixed with any other Goods prior to the payment of all sums due to the Company from the Customer the Customer or any person acting through him or on his behalf shall in the event of sale of such mixed Goods hold that part of the proceeds of sale of the said Goods as is attributable to the Goods in trust for the Company and will account to the Company for that part of the said proceeds of sale as are attributable to the Goods.

8.7 The Customer 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 Company, but if the Customer does so, all monies owing by the Customer to the Company shall (without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Company) become immediately due and payable.

8.8 The terms of this Contract specifically exclude all forms of lien to which the Customer may claim to be entitled.

8.9 If the Company becomes entitled to repossess any Goods by virtue of these Conditions, then if the Goods are not clearly identifiably as the property of the Company:-

8.9.2 the Company shall be entitled to exercise its licence under this condition to repossess any Goods which are similar to the Goods belonging to the Company and it shall be irrefutably presumed that the Goods which the Company shall repossess shall belong to the Company.
