2) All prices quoted to the customer are based on the full quantities specified by the customer and the company reserves the right to revise prices in the event of any quantities being reduced for whatever cause.
3) Terms of payment are strictly net, if not otherwise agreed separately in writing or marked on the front of the invoice

All labour cost involved in effecting such replacements or repairs shall be borne by the Purchaser. (optional labour warranties are usually available at the point of purchase). The Purchaser shall give the Company immediate written notice of any claim that the goods are not of stated quality in order to enable the Company to investigate the complaint before the goods are returned to the Company. Any warranties or conditions, statutory or otherwise, as to quality or fitness for any purpose except where specifically stated are excluded and except as provided for in these conditions, the Company shall accept no claim for consequential loss, damage, injury or other liability.

3) If the customer, being a company, does or fails to do anything which would entitle any person to appoint a receiver of the whole or any part of the customers assets or which would entitle any person to present a petition for an administration order or the winding up of the customer
4) The company may for the purpose of inspecting or recovering its goods enter upon any premises where they are stored or where the company reasonably believes them to be stored
5) While the customer is in possession of the goods with the company’s consent (but not otherwise) , the customer may re-sell the goods provided that such sales is in the ordinary course of the customers business and is at the price not less than the price paid or payable by the customer to the company for the goods

During such a period of total or partial suspension of delivery the Purchaser may give to the Company written notice of his wish to purchase elsewhere at his own cost and risk, such quantities of the contract goods as may be necessary to cover his current requirements and the Company will consider whether it may give permission for this to be done.
