prices do not include value added tax, other taxes, import
or export duties, or other impositions of any nature whatsoever. Any
taxes, import or export duties or other impositions
which the Seller may be required to pay under any existing or future

delivery or transportation of the Goods shall be for the account of
the Buyer. The Buyer shall pay the amount of such
tax, duty or imposition to the Seller together with the price.

for all costs incidental to the collection of any sums not yet
paid and the interest payable.
4. DELIVERY
4.1 Any dates quoted for delivery of the goods are
approximate only and the Seller shall not be liable for any
delay in delivery of the goods howsoever caused. Time for delivery
shall not be of the essence unless previously agreed
by the Seller in writing. The Goods may be delivered by the Seller
in advance of the quoted delivery date upon giving
reasonable notice to the Buyer.

by the Seller by such means of transport and in
such way as shall be deemed by the Seller to be suitable.
5. RETENTION OF TITLE
5.1 Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of

by the Seller to the Buyer for which payment is
then due.
5.2 Until such time as the property in the Goods
passes to the Buyer, the Buyer shall hold the Goods as the
Seller’s agent and shall keep the Goods separate from those
of the Buyer and third parties and properly stored,
protected and insured and 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
be accountable 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.

passes to the Buyer (and provided the goods are still in existence
and have not been resold), the Seller shall be entitled at any time

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.

by the Seller immediately after receipt.
6.2 Claims concerning the quality or quantity of the

or commingled by the Buyer, be lodged with the Seller by registered
or recorded mail, failing which any claim in this
respect shall cease to exist. Full particulars accompanied by an original
report made by a recognised independent surveyor or analysis company

claim.

caused by the Seller’s negligence, the Seller shall not be liable

loss or damage (whether for loss of profit or otherwise),
costs, expenses or other claims for consequential compensation whatsoever
(and whether caused by the negligence of the Seller, its employees
or agents or otherwise) which arise out of or in

Buyer, and if the Goods have been delivered but not paid for the price
shall become immediately due and payable notwithstanding
any previous agreement or arrangement to the contrary.
