4.1     The Supplier shall ensure that:

4.1.1      each delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note that shows the date of the Order, all relevant Customer and Supplier reference numbers, and the type and quantity of the Goods (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable); and

4.1.2      if the Supplier requires the Customer to return any packaging materials to the Supplier, that fact is clearly stated on the delivery note; and the Customer shall make any such packaging materials available for collection at such times as the Supplier shall reasonably request and returns of such packaging materials shall be at the Supplier's expense.

4.6     Delays in the delivery of any Goods shall not entitle the Customer to refuse to take delivery of such Goods, or claim damages, or terminate the agreement (save in respect of clause 11); and the Supplier shall have no liability for any failure or delay in delivering the Goods to the extent that any failure or delay is caused by the Customer's failure to comply with its obligations in accordance with these Conditions.

The Supplier 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 Customer's failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

4.8     If the Customer fails to take delivery of the Goods within five (5) Business Days of the Supplier (or the third party carrier on the Supplier's behalf) notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready, then, except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Supplier's failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract in respect of the Goods:

4.8.1      delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 09.00 am on the third Business Day after the day on which the Supplier (or the third-party carrier on the Supplier's behalf) notified the Customer that the Goods were ready; and

4.8.2      the Supplier (or the third-party courier on the Supplier's behalf) shall store the Goods until actual delivery takes place, and the Supplier shall charge the Customer for all related costs and expenses (including insurance).

4.9     If ten (10) Business Days after the day on which the Customer is notified that the Goods were ready for delivery the Customer has not accepted actual delivery of them, the Supplier may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, account to the Customer for any excess over the price of the Goods or charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.

4.10   If the Supplier (or the third party carrier on the Supplier's behalf) delivers up to and including 5% more or less than the quantity of Goods ordered at the Delivery Location, the Customer may not reject them, and on receipt of notice from the Customer that the wrong quantity of Goods was delivered, the Supplier shall make a pro rata adjustment to the invoice for the Goods.

4.11   The Supplier may deliver the Goods by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract. Any delay in delivery, or defect in an instalment, shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment.

4.13   The Supplier will seek to obtain any necessary export/import licence (if applicable) to effect the delivery of the Goods at the Delivery Location, but shall not be under any obligation or liability in respect of any delay or failure in obtaining any such licence, or any delay or failure in the delivery of the Goods arising out of any delay or failure in obtaining any such licence.

5        Quality

5.1     The Supplier warrants that on delivery, and for a period of 12 (twelve) months from the date of delivery (Warranty Period), the Goods shall:

5.1.1      conform in all material respects with their description or any applicable Specification;

5.1.2      be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship; and

5.1.3      be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979).

5.2     The Supplier shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure the accuracy of technical data and information relating to the Goods and, save as required by law, the Supplier accepts no liability in contract, tort of otherwise for any damage or injury arising directly or indirectly from any error or omission in such technical data or information.

5.4     Subject clause 5.5, if:

5.4.1      the Customer gives notice in writing to the Supplier during the Warranty Period and within a reasonable time of discovery that some or all of the Goods do not comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1; and

5.4.2      the Supplier is given a reasonable opportunity of examining such Goods; and

5.4.3      the Customer (if asked to do so by the Supplier) returns such Goods to the Supplier's place of business at the Customer's cost (unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Supplier) in accordance with clause 5.5,
the Supplier shall, at its option test and return any non-defective Goods to the Customer pursuant to clause 5.6, or replace the defective Goods, or refund the price of the defective Goods in full.

5.5     Where Goods are to be returned to the Supplier in accordance with clause 5.4, or due to a cancellation pursuant to clause
8.2, the Customer must:

5.5.1      obtain a returns merchandise authorisation (RMA) number from the Supplier (or follow such other reasonable returns process as the Supplier may stipulate in writing to the Customer); and

5.5.2      return the Goods within one (1) week of the RMA number being issued by the Supplier, along with a written statement setting out the reason for the return; and

5.5.3      ensure that the storage, handling and packaging before and during return of the Goods is appropriate for the Goods' mechanical, electrical and environmental requirements and that Goods are received by the Supplier in the same condition as when delivered to the Customer.

5.6     Upon testing the Goods returned by the Customer to the Supplier in accordance with clauses 5.4 and 5.5, if the Supplier determines, to its reasonable satisfaction, that the relevant Goods are not defective, or that any defect in the Goods has been caused by the Customer, the Supplier will return the relevant Goods to the Customer at the Customer's cost and subject to a minimum testing charge of 15% of the applicable invoice plus VAT.

5.7     Goods shall only be considered defective for the purposes of these Conditions if such Goods are not in accordance with a Specification accepted in writing by the Supplier or (if in the absence of any such Specification, or to the extent that such Specification is silent as to any aspect of the design, function, performance, tolerances, quality or characteristics of the Goods) the Goods do not conform to the Supplier’s published information (if any), or otherwise to the standards which the Supplier considers normal or usual for products of the kind sold at a similar price.

5.8     The Customer acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding that any Specification must be agreed in writing by the Supplier, the Supplier is not in a position to know or ensure that a Specification provided by the Customer is correct and/or sufficient for the purposes intended by the Customer; and that therefore, provided the Goods provided by the Supplier meet such a Specification, the Supplier is not responsible or liable for the extent to which such Goods are not correct and/or sufficient for the purposes intended by the Customer.

5.9     In the case of Goods returned or replaced by the Supplier, the dates of the Warranty Period shall remain and shall apply unchanged as if the Goods were not returned or replaced.

5.10   The Supplier shall not be liable for the Goods' failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1 if:

5.10.1    the Customer makes any further use of such Goods after giving notice in accordance with clause 5.4.1; or

5.10.2    the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow the Supplier's oral or written instructions as to the storage, commissioning, installation, use, operation and/or maintenance of the Goods, or (if there are none) good trade practice regarding the same; or

5.10.3    the defect arises as a result of the Supplier following any drawing, design or specification supplied by the Customer; or

5.10.4    the Customer alters or repairs such Goods without the prior written consent of the Supplier; or

5.10.5    the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal storage or working conditions; or

5.11   Except as provided in this clause 5, the Supplier shall have no liability to the Customer in respect of the Goods' failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1.

5.12   The terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.
