2.3 The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when the Supplier issues a written acceptance of the Order, at which point the Contract shall come into existence.

2.4 The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. The Customer acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of the Supplier which is not set out in the Contract. The Customer acknowledges that any statement, representation, recommendation, assurance, warranty or advice (whether made in writing or orally, negligently or innocently) other than expressly set out in this Contract do not form part of the Contract between the Customer and the Supplier.

2.5 Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter, or advertising issued by the Supplier and any descriptions or illustrations contained in the catalogues or brochures of the Supplier are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods described in them.

3.2 The Customer shall indemnify the Supplier against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal and other reasonable professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by the Supplier in connection with any claim made against the Supplier for actual or alleged infringement of a third party's intellectual property rights arising out of or in connection with the use of the specification regarding the Goods by the Supplier where the cause of such infringement is from or connected to the Customer’s contribution to the said specification. This clause 3.1 shall survive termination of the Contract.

3.3 The Supplier reserves the right to amend the specification of the Goods if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

3.4 No amendment or reconfiguration to the Goods (as described in the Quotation) will be permitted unless the Supplier agrees in writing to such amendment or reconfiguration in its absolute discretion. In the event of an amendment or reconfiguration to the Goods, the Supplier shall be entitled to increase the price of the Goods.


4 DELIVERY

4.1 The Supplier shall ensure that:

4.1.1 each delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note which shows the date of the Order, all relevant reference numbers of the Customer and the Supplier, the type and quantity of the Goods (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable), special storage instructions (if any) and, if the Order is being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Goods remaining to be delivered; 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. The Customer shall make any such packaging materials available for collection at such times as the Supplier shall reasonably request. Returns of packaging materials shall be at the expense of the Supplier.

The Supplier shall not be liable for any delay or failure to deliver the Goods that is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the failure of the Customer to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

4.7 If delivery of the Goods is late or the Supplier fails to deliver the Goods the Supplier shall at its absolute discretion either:

4.7.2 refund the purchase price of the Goods to the Customer.

4.8 If the Customer fails to take delivery of the Goods within 3 Business Days of the Supplier notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready, then, except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the failure of the Supplier to comply with its obligations under the Contract:
