If the Customer fails to comply with this obligation, the Supplier may have a right of action against the Customer for compensation.

4.4 Details of a Consumer's statutory right of cancellation, and an explanation of how to exercise it, are provided in the Supplier's written acceptance of the Order. This provision does not affect the Consumer's other statutory rights as a Consumer.

5.1 The Supplier shall ensure that each delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note, the Customer and Supplier reference numbers (if relevant), the type and quantity of the Goods (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable), special storage instructions (if any) and, if the Contract is being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Goods remaining to be delivered.

The Supplier shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods 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. The Supplier will use its reasonable endeavours to notify the Customer of any delay in delivery and will arrange an alternative delivery date with the Customer.

5.7.3 the Supplier shall have no liability to the Customer for late delivery.

5.8 If fifteen Business Days after the Supplier notified the Customer that the Goods were ready for delivery the Customer has not accepted or taken delivery of them, the Supplier may (after giving reasonable prior notice in writing where the Customer is a Consumer) resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, account to the Customer for any excess over the price of the Goods or charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.

5.9 [Business Customers only: the Customer shall not be entitled to reject the Goods if the Supplier delivers up to and including [5] per cent more or less than the quantity of Goods ordered[, but a pro-rata adjustment shall be made to the Order invoice on receipt of notice from the Customer that the wrong quantity of Goods was delivered].

5.10 The Supplier may deliver the Goods by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment.

5.11 The Supplier will take reasonable steps to pack the Goods properly and to ensure that the Customer receives its Order in good condition.

10.2 Where the Customer is not receiving Services from the Supplier as part of the Contract, the price of the Goods is exclusive of all costs and charges of packaging, insurance and delivery charges, which shall be paid by the Customer when it pays for the Goods. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Supplier provides both Goods and Services, the relevant price of such Goods and Services will be set out in the applicable Tender Document.

(a) Business Customers only: any factor beyond the control of the Supplier (including foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties, and increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs);

(b) any request by the Customer to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered, or the Goods Specification;

10.7 Consumers only: where the Supplier increases the price of the Goods and/or Services pursuant to Clause 10.6 (b), (c) or (d), the Customer shall have the right, upon giving written notice to the Supplier within 5 Business Days of receiving notice of the increased price from the Supplier, to cancel the relevant Contract.

10.8 Consumers only: where the Goods' correct price is less than the Supplier's stated price, the Supplier will charge the lower amount when dispatching the Goods to the Customer. If the Goods' correct price is higher than the price stated in the Supplier's published price list, the Supplier will either contact the Customer for instructions before dispatching the Goods, or reject the Order and tell the Customer. If the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by the Customer as an error, the Supplier does not have to provide the Goods to the Customer at the incorrect (lower) price.

10.9 In respect of a Contract for Goods only, payment shall be made by the Customer at the time of Order by credit or debit card. The credit or debit card will be charged on order confirmation.

10.11 The Customer shall pay each invoice submitted by the Supplier for Goods and Services:

10.11.1 within 30 days of the date of the invoice; and

10.11.2 in full and in cleared funds to a bank account nominated in writing by the Supplier or in the case of Consumers by credit or debit card, and

time for payment shall be of the essence of the Contract.

10.12 Without limiting any other right or remedy of the Supplier, if the Customer fails to make any payment due to the Supplier under the Contract by the due date for payment ("Due Date"), the Supplier shall have the right to charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per cent per annum above the then current Royal Bank of Scotland plc's base lending rate accruing on a daily basis from the Due Date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment, and compounding quarterly.

10.13 The Customer shall pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any deduction or withholding except as required by law and the Customer shall not be entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against the Supplier in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part. The Supplier may, without limiting its other rights or remedies, set off any amount owing to it by the Customer against any amount payable by the Supplier to the Customer.

10.14 Without limiting any other rights or remedies of the Supplier, if the Customer fails to make payment in accordance with these Conditions, the Supplier may cancel or suspend the supply of Services or any other outstanding Order until all outstanding amounts have been paid.

10.15 Consumers only: Clauses 10.12 and 10.13 shall not apply for the period of the dispute if the Customer disputes the payment owing in good faith and promptly notifies the Supplier of the dispute after it has received the relevant invoice.

11. Intellectual property rights

11.1 All Intellectual Property Rights in or arising out of or in connection with the Services shall be owned by the Supplier.

11.2 The Customer acknowledges that, in respect of any third party Intellectual Property Rights in the Services, the Customer's use of any such Intellectual Property Rights is conditional on the Supplier obtaining a written licence from the relevant licensor on such terms as will entitle the Supplier to license such rights to the Customer.

11.3 All Supplier Materials are the exclusive property of the Supplier.

12. Confidentiality

Business Customers only: A party ("Receiving Party") shall keep in strict confidence all technical or commercial know‑how, specifications, inventions, processes or initiatives which are of a confidential nature and have been disclosed to the Receiving Party by the other party ("Disclosing Party"), its employees, agents or subcontractors, and any other confidential information concerning the Disclosing Party's business or its products or its services which the Receiving Party may obtain. The Receiving Party shall restrict disclosure of such confidential information to such of its employees, agents or subcontractors as need to know it for the purpose of discharging the Receiving Party's obligations under the Contract, and shall ensure that such employees, agents or subcontractors are subject to obligations of confidentiality corresponding to those which bind the Receiving Party.
