All orders accepted by Pyser-SGI Limited
(hereafter referred to as "the Company") shall be deemed
to be accepted on condition that the following terms and conditions
shall apply.
1. The prices quoted in respect of any order
accepted by the Company are correct at the time of acceptance but
are subject to any variation caused by increase in suppliers' prices
and/or carriers' prices and/or import levies and further to the
effect of any fluctuation in value of any foreign currency or of
the Pound Sterling that may affect the Company or such suppliers
or carriers as aforesaid and the Company reserves the right to pass
on any increase in price resulting from such factors.
2. a) Whilst the Company will use its best
endeavours to supply the goods by the date specified at the time
of acceptance of an order it can give no guarantee that the delivery
date will be met and can accept no responsibility for any consequence
of its inability or otherwise to meet the said delivery date. No
delay in delivery date shall entitle the Purchaser to reject the
goods or treat the contract as repudiated or reclaim any sum paid
for the goods unless the delay exceeds six months.
b) The Company may deliver the goods by
instalments and each instalment shall be deemed to be sold under
a separate contract.
c) Delivery of the goods to the Purchaser
shall be effected when the goods are collected from the Company's
premises by or on behalf of the Purchaser or by a carrier paid or
appointed by the Purchaser or are delivered to the Purchaser's premises
or to premises of a consignee named by the Purchaser whichever takes
place first.
3. a) The goods which are the subject of
this contract shall be at the Purchaser's risk from the time of
delivery and at all times thereafter.
b) Ownership of the said goods shall remain
in the Company until the Purchaser has made payment therefor in
full.
c) Until such payment in full the Purchaser
shall be under a duty (save in the circumstances provided in (d)
below) to keep the said goods separate and apart from all other
goods and so kept as to enable them to be identified as the Company's
goods.
d) In the event of a sale of the said goods
or any part thereof prior to payment in full, such sale should be
a sale by the Purchaser as agent for the company and the Purchaser
shall hold the proceeds of sale separate from its own money and
shall account to the Company therefor.
e) Payment for the said goods shall be made
by the Purchaser in accordance with clause 4 hereunder, or immediately
upon the commencement of any act or proceeding in which the Purchaser's
solvency is involved, whichever be the earlier. If such payment
is overdue in whole or in part, or in the event of such act or proceeding,
the Company may, without prejudice to any of its other rights, recover
or resell the goods and may enter upon the Purchaser's premises
for that purpose.
f) The Purchaser shall stand in fiduciary
relationship with the Company in relation to the goods the subject
of this contract and in respect of all its dealings with them until
payment as aforesaid.
g) Until the property in the goods has passed
to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall insure the goods which are
on or at the Purchaser's premises against fire and theft and shall
if required to do so in writing by the Company prove to the Company
that such insurance has been effected.
4. Payment is to be made by the date stipulated
on the invoice. If the Purchaser fails to make payment by the stipulated
date then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available
to the Company shall, at its discretion be entitled to (a) cancel
the contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Purchaser
and (b) charge the Purchaser interest (both before and after any
judgement) on the amount unpaid, at the rate of 4% above the base
rate from time to time of Barclays Bank plc, until payment in full
is made.
5. If the Company accepts any cheque, bill
of exchange or other instrument in respect of the goods such acceptance
does not imply that the Purchaser has fulfilled payment and shall
not constitute payment until the same has been paid.
6. In the event of war, invasion, act of
foreign enemy, hostilities (whether war has been declared or not),
civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection or military or usurped
power, the Company shall be relieved of liabilities incurred under
this contract wherever and to the extent to which the fulfilment
of such obligations is prevented, frustrated or impeded as a consequence
of any such event or by any statute, rules, regulations, orders
or requisitions issued by any government department, council or
other duly constituted authority or from strikes, lockouts, breakdown
of plant or any other causes (whether or not of a like nature) beyond
the Company's control.
7. a) The Company will replace or repair
without charge or at its discretion give credit for all and any
of the Goods lost or damaged in transit or not delivered to the
Purchaser provided that:
i) any complaint or claim whatsoever by the
Purchaser concerning damage to the Goods is given to the Company
by the Purchaser in writing within 14 days of the date of delivery
of the goods to the Purchaser;

date when delivery of the goods to the Purchaser is expected to
be made, within 14 days of the latter date;
iii) any goods which the Purchaser claims
to be damaged are made available for inspection to the Company and/or
are returned to the Company forthwith at the Company's risk and
expense if the Company so requires by notice in writing to the Purchaser.
b) The Company will replace or repair without
charge or at its discretion give credit for defective goods provided
that:
i) any complaint or claim whatsoever by the
Purchaser with regard to defects reasonably apparent on inspection
is endorsed on behalf of the Purchaser on the Company's delivery
note and notice in writing of the defects alleged (detailing the
type and quantity of the goods alleged to be defective) is sent
by the Purchaser to the Company within 14 days of the date of delivery;
ii) any complaint or claim whatsoever by
the Purchaser with regard to defects reasonably apparent on inspection
is given to the Company by the Purchaser in writing (detailing the
type and quantity of the goods alleged to be defective) as soon
as reasonably practicable after discovery thereof and in any event
within 14 days of the date of delivery;
iii) any goods which the Purchaser seeks
to reject as defective are made available for inspection by the
Company and/or are returned to the Company forthwith at the Company's
risk and expense if the Company so requires by notice in writing
to the Purchaser.
c) For the purposes of this Condition time
shall be of the essence and any complaint or claim not made in accordance
with sub-Conditions 7(a) and 7(b) shall be absolutely barred and
in the absence of such complaint or claim all the goods shall be
deemed to be delivered to the Purchaser and shall be deemed to be
free from defects or damage and in all respects in accordance with
these Conditions.
d) Subject to sub-Condition 7(g) the Company shall not be liable
for any loss or damage whatsoever (including loss of profit or goodwill

damage whatsoever) arising directly or indirectly from any breach
of this contract or from any negligent act or omission of the company
its officers servants or agents or otherwise howsoever beyond or
in excess of the value of defective goods or goods lost or damaged
in transit or not delivered as the case may be.
e) The Company shall not in any event be
liable for any defects in the goods if the Purchaser endeavours
to rectify the same.
f) This condition shall inure to the benefit

restrict its liability to the Purchaser or persons generally for

its officers servants or agents.

than for the purpose of amalgamation or reconstruction) shall be
passed or presented, or if a receiver of such company's undertaking,
property or assets or any part thereof shall be appointed, the Company
shall have the right forthwith to determine any contract then subsisting
and upon written notice of such determination any subsisting contracts
shall be deemed to have been determined without prejudice to any
claim or right the Company may otherwise make or exercise.
