5.1. Subject to clause 5.11, the Supplier shall deliver the Goods and/or perform the Services to/at the location set out in the Order or such other location agreed in writing between the parties (Delivery Location), at any time after the Order has been accepted.

5.2. For Orders excluding those where the Customer collects the Goods from the Supplier’s premises, delivery of the Goods will be deemed complete once the Goods are made available for unloading at the Delivery Location.

5.3. Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only and the time of delivery is not of the essence. The Supplier shall not be liable for any failure to deliver the Goods, failure to perform the Services, delay in delivery of the Goods or delay in performing the Services that 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 and/or Services.

5.4. If the Supplier fails to deliver the Goods and/or perform the Services as agreed, then its liability shall be limited as per clause 10.

5.5. If the Customer fails to accept delivery of the Goods on the date of attempted delivery, or fails to make the necessary arrangements to ensure that the Supplier can access the Delivery Location to deliver the Goods and/or perform the Services, then, except where such failure or delay is caused by the Supplier’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract:

(a) delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00am on the date notified by the Company for delivery;

(b) the Supplier shall store the Goods until delivery takes place and charge the Customer for all related costs and expenses (including insurance);

(c) the Customer shall reimburse the Supplier on written demand for any costs, expenses or losses sustained or incurred by the Supplier arising directly or indirectly as a result of the Customer’s default; and

(d) the Supplier shall not be liable for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by the Customer arising directly or indirectly as a result of the storage of such Goods.

5.6. If Ten Business Days after the date of attempted delivery, the Customer has still not accepted delivery of them; the Supplier may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and charge the Customer any for any storage and selling and destruction costs, and any shortfall below the price of the Goods.

5.7. The Customer shall not be entitled to reject the Goods if the Supplier delivers up to and including 5% more or less than the quantity of Goods ordered.

(a) those caused by delivery of less than a full load;

(b) complying with the Customer’s request for delivery outside the Supplier’s normal delivery pattern or by trading by instalments; and

(c) orders of small value which are not economical for the Supplier to deliver free.

5.11. The Customer may collect the Goods from the Supplier during all trading hours. For Orders where the Customer collects the Goods from the Supplier, delivery of the Goods will be deemed complete once the Goods are made available for loading at the Supplier’s premises. If they are not collected within Ten Business Days from when the Customer has been notified of the Goods availability, then clause 5.6 will become effective and the Supplier reserves the right to apply a storage charge which will be payable by the Customer before the Goods are released.

5.12. If the Customer collects the Goods from the Supplier, the Customer is responsible for loading the Goods and the size, weight and positioning of the load on the vehicle and shall indemnify the Supplier in respect of all costs, claims, losses or expenses it may incur as a result of the collection of the Goods.

(b) give the Supplier a reasonable opportunity of inspecting such Goods; and

(c) (if asked to do so by the Supplier) return such Goods to the Supplier’s place of business at the Customer’s cost.

The Supplier shall not be liable for any defective or non-conforming Goods where the Supplier itself does not have any remedy for such Goods in the contract with its supplier.

6.9. Except as provided in this clause 6, the Supplier shall have no liability to the Customer in respect of the Goods’ failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 6.6 or for any other defect in the Goods, and clause 6.8 shall comprise the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for defective or non-compliant Goods.

7.3. Until title to the Goods has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall:

7.5. If before title to the Goods passes to the Customer the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 9.2(a) to (n) (inclusive) or the Supplier reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen and notifies the Customer accordingly, then, provided that the Goods have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product, and without limiting any other right or remedy the Supplier may have, the Supplier may at any time notify the Customer that the Customer’s right to resell or use the Goods ceases immediately (upon which such right shall cease), require the Customer to deliver up the Goods and, if the Customer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Customer or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.
