instalments shall not entitle the Buyer to treat the Contract as a
whole as repudiated.

reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage; or
(b) sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after
deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses)
account to the Buyer for the excess over the Price or charge the Buyer
for any shortfall below the Price.

Buyer, or where there is a shortfall in delivery quantity, the Seller

replace or (at its discretion) to repair free of charge any Goods so
damaged or lost or otherwise not delivered, in which event the time
for delivery of the damaged, lost or undelivered Goods shall be
extended for such period as the Seller shall reasonably require for
such re-supply, replacement or repair.

returning any damaged Goods to the Seller’s works within 7 days of
receipt.

damage to or loss of the Goods in transit to the contracted place of
delivery.

shall give written notice to the Seller within 30 days of the
discovery of the defect and give the Seller a reasonable opportunity
to inspect the Goods in question.

Buyer makes any further use of the Goods after giving such notice or
alters or repairs the Goods without the agreement of the Seller.
The Seller’s liability under the warranty shall be limited to
repairing or replacing the Goods in question or refunding the price of
such Goods.

Services as being in conformity with the Contract, and shall be bound
to pay for them, unless written notice of rejection thereof is
received by the Seller within 7 days of delivery.
8.2 Goods accepted by the Buyer cannot subsequently be returned and
any claim which the Buyer might otherwise have shall be deemed to have
been waived.
8.3 If after notice of rejection has been given the Buyer deals with
the Goods as owner thereof, or if any conduct of the Buyer is
inconsistent with such rejection or with the ownership of the Goods by
the Seller, the Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods and
be bound to pay for them.

9. RISK & TITLE

identified as the Seller’s property. Until that time the Buyer shall
be entitled to resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its
business, but shall account to the Seller 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 Buyer and third parties and, in the case of
tangible proceeds, properly stored, protected and insured.

to deliver up the Goods to the Seller and, if the Buyer fails to do so
forthwith, to enter upon any premises of the Buyer or any third party
where the Goods are stored and repossess the Goods.

remedy of the Seller) forthwith become due and payable.
