e) Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Purchaser in the case of Goods to be delivered at the Seller’s premises, at the time when the Seller notifies the Purchaser that the Goods are available for collection or in the case of Goods to be delivered otherwise than at the Seller’s premises, at the time of delivery or, if the Purchaser wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Goods, the time when the Seller has tendered delivery of the Goods.

If the Purchaser fails to pay the price on the due date then all outstanding invoices rendered by the Seller to the Purchaser under any contract shall become immediately payable.
b) The Seller shall be entitled to recover the price, notwithstanding that delivery may not have taken place and the property in the Goods has not passed to the Purchaser. The time of payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract. Receipts for payment will be issued only upon request.
c) The Seller may in its unfettered judgement withdraw the credit terms described in sub-clause (a) hereof and/or any other credit terms that may have been agreed in Writing between the Seller and the Purchaser and substitute either cash on delivery terms whether for the Goods already delivered or otherwise or terms whereby, in the case of partial delivery of an order already made, the Purchaser shall pay all sums outstanding on the said partial delivery or deliveries and make immediate advance payment in respect of the remainder of the total order.
d) No cash or other settlement discount will be allowed unless specified in Writing by the Seller and the Seller reserves the right to withdraw any such discount when payment is not made in accordance with sub-clause (a) hereof.

(i) cancel the Contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Purchaser;

6. Transfer of Property
a) Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the Goods, or any other provision of these Conditions, the property in the Goods shall not pass to the Purchaser until the Seller has received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of the Goods and all other goods agreed to be sold by the Seller to the Purchaser for which payment is then due.
b) Until such time as the property in the Goods passes to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall hold the Goods as the Seller’s fiduciary agent and bailee but shall be entitled to resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business.

d) During such time as the property in the Goods remains in the Seller, the Purchaser shall store or otherwise keep the same in such a way as to clearly indicate at all times that the said property remains in the Seller and shall not remove, obscure or delete any labels or marks placed on the Goods which may enable the Goods to be identified as the Seller’s and shall grant the Seller access to any of its premises for the purpose of inspecting the Goods.
e) If, while the Goods are in the possession of the Purchaser yet the property in the Goods remains in the Seller, the Goods become removable constituents or components of other goods, the Seller shall at its discretion, remove its Goods (if they can be removed without damaging the goods) or become the owner of those goods to the extent that the Purchaser is indebted to the Seller and accordingly sub-clauses (a) to (d) hereof shall in so far as it is possible apply to such goods and if the Seller takes possession of such in accordance with sub-clause (c) hereof it shall have the right to sell such goods provided that it accounts to the Purchaser for any proceeds of sale which exceed the cost of the Goods, repossession, storage and sale.

(i) the Seller is notified in Writing within 7 days of discovery of any defect by the Purchaser and in any event not later than one month from the delivery date and if the Purchaser does not notify the Seller accordingly the Purchaser shall not be entitled to reject the Goods and the Seller shall have no liability for such defect or failure and the Purchaser shall be liable to pay the price as if the Goods had been delivered in accordance with the Contract;
(ii) the defective Goods are returned to the Seller, with its prior approval, properly packed and accompanied by a letter giving full details of the Purchaser's original order number, the return authorisation number, the date of purchase and the reason why the Goods are believed to be defective.

i) The Seller warrants to the Purchaser that all advice given by the Seller to the Purchaser in Writing will be accurate in all material respects. The sole liability of the Seller in respect of any breach of this warranty (except for death or personal injury arising from the Seller’s negligence) shall be to replace the Goods or issue a credit note for the price of the Goods in respect of which the advice was given. Any information supplied by the Seller that the Goods are millennium compliant will be based upon information supplied by the Manufacturer for which the Seller cannot accept liability.

l) These warranties are not assignable and accordingly the Seller will not accept warranty returns directly or indirectly from the Purchaser's own customers or from the users of the Goods. Nothing in this clause shall have the effect of creating any privity of contract between the Seller and the Purchaser’s own customers or the users of the Goods
m) Subject as expressly provided in these Conditions, and except where the Goods are sold to a person dealing as a consumer (within the meaning of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977), all warranties, conditions or other terms implied by statute or common law are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

b) If the Purchaser commits any breach of the terms and conditions of the Contract or suffers distress or execution or becomes insolvent or commits an act of bankruptcy or has a receiver or an administrative receiver or an administrator appointed to the whole or any part of its assets or if an order shall be made or a resolution passed for winding up the Purchaser unless such order or resolution is part of a scheme of reconstruction of the Purchaser or is unable to pay it’s debts as they fall due or an encumbrancer takes possession of any of the property or assets of the Purchaser, the Seller may without prejudice to any rights which may have been accrued or which may accrue to it under these Conditions or otherwise, terminate the Contract summarily by notice in Writing.
