2. BASIS OF CONTRACT

2.1 These Conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by law, trade custom, practice or course of dealing.
2.2 The Order constitutes an offer by the Customer to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Condi-tions. The Customer is responsible for ensuring that the terms of the Order submitted by the Customer are com-plete and accurate.
2.3 The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when the Seller issues a written acceptance of the Order, at which point the Contract shall come into existence.
2.4 The Customer waives any right it might other-wise have to rely on any term endorsed upon, delivered with or contained in any documents of the Customer that is inconsistent with these Conditions.
2.5 Any samples or advertising produced by the Seller and any illustrations contained in the Seller’s cata-logues or brochures are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods referred to in them. They shall not form part of the Contract nor have any contractual force.
2.6 A quotation for the Goods given by the Seller shall not constitute an offer. A quotation shall only be valid for a period of thirty (30) Business Days from its date of issue.


3. GOODS

3.1 The Goods are described in the Seller's cata-logue as modified by any applicable Specification.
3.2 The Seller reserves the right to amend the specification of the Goods if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirement, and the Seller shall notify the Customer in any such event.


4. DELIVERY

4.1 Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. The Seller shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer’s failure to provide the Seller with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.
4.2 The Goods shall be delivered on an Ex Works basis and the Customer shall collect the Goods from the Seller’s premises at Buckingham Road Industrial Estate, Ward Rd, Buckingham Road Industrial Estate, Brackley NN13 7LE (or such other location as may be specified in the Order) (Delivery Location) within three (3) Business Days of the Seller notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready. For the avoidance of doubt the Customer shall be responsible for payment of freight and insurance from the Delivery Location.
4.3 If the Seller delivers up to and including 10% more or less than the quantity of Goods ordered, the Customer may not reject them, but on receipt of notice from the Customer that a different quantity of Goods was delivered, the Seller shall make a pro rata adjustment to the invoice for the Goods.
4.4 The Seller may deliver the Goods by instal-ments, 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.
4.5 Unless otherwise specified in the Order, the Customer shall return all packaging materials to the Seller. The Customer shall make any such packaging materials available for collection at such times as the Seller shall reasonably request. Returns of packaging materials shall be at the Seller’s expense.
4.6 If the Customer fails to arrange collection of the Goods within three (3) Business Days of the Seller notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready for collection, then, except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Seller's failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract in respect of the Goods:
(a) delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 9:00 am on the third Business Day after the day on which the Seller notified the Customer that the Goods were ready; and
(b) the Seller shall store the Goods until delivery takes place, and charge the Customer for all related costs and expenses (including insurance).
4.7 If ten (10) Business Days after the day on which the Seller notified the Customer that the Goods were ready for collection the Customer has not taken actual delivery of them, the Seller may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.

(a) conform in all material respects with their description and any applicable Specification;
(b) be of satisfactory quality (within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979); and
(c) be fit for any purpose held out by the Seller.
5.2 Subject to clause 5.3, if:
(a) the Customer gives notice in writing to the Seller not later than 48 hours after delivery that some or all of the Goods do not comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1;
(b) the Seller is given a reasonable opportunity of examining such Goods; and
(c) the Customer (if asked to do so by the Seller) returns such Goods to the Seller’s place of business at the Customer’s cost,
the Seller shall, at its option, replace the defective Goods, or refund the price of the defective Goods in full.
5.3 The Seller shall not be liable for the Goods' failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1 if:
(a) the Customer makes any further use of such Goods after giving notice in accordance with clause 5.2;
(b) the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow the Seller's oral or written instructions as to the storage, commissioning, installation, use and mainte-nance of the Goods or (if there are none) good trade prac-tice regarding the same;
(c) the defect arises as a result of the Seller follow-ing any drawing, design or Specification supplied by the Customer
(d) the Customer alters such Goods or mixes them with other goods without the written consent of the Seller;
(e) the defect arises as a result of wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal storage or working conditions; or
(f) the Goods differ from their description as a result of changes made to ensure they comply with appli-cable statutory or regulatory requirements. It’s RAPs responsibility to ensure the goods meet statutory or regulatory requirements
5.4 Except as provided in this clause 5, the Seller shall have no liability to the Customer in respect of the Goods' failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1.
5.5 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.

6.2 Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Custom-er until the earlier of the date on which:

(b) the Customer resells the Goods, in which case title to the Goods shall pass to the Customer at the time specified in clause 6.4.
6.3 Until title to the Goods has passed to the Cus-tomer, the Customer shall:
