transaction to the extent of any inconsistency unless varied in writing
and signed by us.
Payment
You will pay the full price of each order to us on or before the last
working day of the calendar month following the month of supply. If
payment is not made on or before the due date we may without notice
enter any premises where the products may be stored, retake possession
of the products and may sell the products on such terms and in such
manner as we may determine and will be entitled to deduct all expenses
incurred. For the purpose of recovering possession you hereby
irrevocably authorise and licence us and our servants and agents to at
any time and without notice and to retake possession of the products

following supply, we reserve the right to charge interest at the rate of
1.5% each month on overdue balances on your account and to recover all
legal costs and other costs and expenses arising from the collection of
any overdue accounts.
Pricing
All prices and price lists may change without notice due to changes in
market conditions.
Delivery
While we endeavour to keep delivery dates, any delay of delivery, for
any reason whatsoever, will not entitle you to claim for any
consequential loss or damage or to cancel, rescind or terminate the
agreement.
Should circumstances beyond our control prevent or hinder delivery, we
will be free from any obligation to deliver products while such
circumstances continue. For as long as such circumstances exist, we may,
at our option, cancel, rescind or terminate all or any part of the
contract or keep the contract on foot until such circumstances have
ceased. Such circumstances beyond our control include, but are not
limited to strikes, lockouts, rebellions, fire, acts of God, shortages
of raw materials, government decrees, proclamations or orders, transport
difficulties, and failures or malfunctions of computers or other
information technology systems.
We will deliver the products to your preferred forwarder. If no
forwarder is nominated by you, we will deliver the products to our
forwarder. In both cases, liability for the costs of the freight and
insurance will be to your account.
You must notify us within 24 hours of delivery of any shortfall in, or
loss or damage to, the products delivered. If you fail to so notify us
then, to the extent permitted by law, you shall not be entitled to any
remedy in respect to the shortage, loss or damage.
Risk
Risk in each order will pass to you upon delivery of that order to you
or upon collection of that order by your agent or courier as the case
may be.
Where, in accordance with these terms, we accept return of any products,
risk in those products will revert to us upon delivery of the products
to us or upon collection of the products by our agent or courier as the
case may be.
Retention of Title
Notwithstanding delivery of the products to you, until we have received
full payment for the products and any other products previously supplied
by us, legal title to the products will remain with us and you must
store the products in such manner as to clearly show that they are our
property.
Subject to the clause 7 below, until such time as the products have been
paid for in full, you are at liberty to use or sell the products in the
ordinary course of your business.
Notwithstanding the provisions above, we will be entitled to maintain an
action against you for the purchase price.
