- It is an implied term in all quotations and all order acknowledgements,
that all necessary specifications, instructions and information shall have
been supplied by the Purchaser by the date or dates prescribed in the order

information and belief, subject to any patent or other English industrial
property right prohibiting the manufacture or sale of the goods by the
Company. The Purchaser shall indemnify the Company against all other liability

industrial disputes or shortages of supplies or labour.
- The Company shall not be liable for any consequential or indirect losses
whatsoever.
- Unless otherwise stated in the order acknowledgement, the price charged
shall be the price ruling at the date of despatch for each item supplied,
and if the goods, or any other part of the goods are purchased by the Company
at a price higher than the price ruling at the date of order acknowledgement,
the Company may adjust the price accordingly. Prices quoted in a currency
other than sterling may be increased by the Company to compensate for exchange
losses to the Company. Unless otherwise stated prices are quoted ex works.

being calculated at 1/28th of the monthly rate).
- The property in goods shall not pass to the Purchaser unless and until
the Company has received full payment for the goods: and the Purchaser
shall ensure that all goods which remain the property of the Company shall
be kept separate from the property of the Purchaser and of any other person
and shall be identified as the property of the Company, and shall, if at
any time the Purchaser is in breach of any of the terms of the sale agreement,
be returned to the Company on demand, at the expense of the Purchaser.

by the Purchaser, as trustee for the Company, for the full value of the
goods.
- The Company may deliver part orders and shall be paid the full price
of the parts delivered.

or defective goods. Packing and insurance will be undertaken by the Company

the Purchaser, even though in the possession of the Company, so long as

the goods, notwithstanding that the Purchaser may refuse or defer delivery;
and such goods shall, so long as they are held by or on behalf of the Company
be stored at the risk and cost of the Purchaser. The Company may at its
discretion, 14 days after giving notice to the Purchaser of the intention
to do so, dispose of the whole or any part of the goods and set off the
proceeds of disposal, if any, against any liability of the Purchaser to
the Company.

and other materials whatsoever supplied by the Company are used only for
the purpose supplied and are returned to the Company on demand.
- The contract shall be governed by English law, and, unless the Company
elects otherwise, all proceedings arising from the contract shall be determined
by the courts of England.
