2.2 All brochures, catalogues, price lists, samples, particulars of dimensions and other advertising or descriptive material submitted to the Customer are intended to be approximate only and to give a general impression of the
Products and Services. Unless expressly incorporated the same shall not form part of the Contract. The Seller reserves the right to make minor alterations to the design specification or construction of the Products or Services without prior notification to the Customer.
2.3 Any advice or recommendation given by the Seller or its employees or agents to the Customer or its agents or employees as to the storage, application or use of the Products which is not confirmed in writing by the Seller is followed or acted on entirely at the Customer's own risk, and accordingly the Seller shall not be liable for any such advice or recommendation which is not so confirmed.
2.4 The Customer shall be responsible for complying with any legislation or regulations (of the United Kingdom or any other country) governing the export and import of the Products into the country of destination (and any other country through which the Products pass in transit) and for the payment of any duties thereon. The Customer shall fully indemnify the Seller against any fines, penalties, costs, claims, damages, losses and the expenses suffered by the Seller as a result of the Customer failing to comply with this Clause 2.4.
2.5 If the Contract requires the Seller to purchase additives or pigments or masterbatches in quantities exceeding the amount needed to complete the Contract and the Customer does not make a repeat order to use up the excess quantity within three months of the invoice date of the first order using that quantity, the Customer shall on demand pay the cost price to the Seller in respect of the excess quantity.
2.6 It is understood and agreed that the Seller has no special knowledge of the Customer's operations and requirements concerning the Products or the Services and the Customer agrees that the Products and/or Services are purchased on the basis of the Customer's independent determination of the suitability of the Products or Services for the Customer's intended use or purpose.
2.7 All of these Conditions shall apply to both the sale of Products and the supply of Services except where application to one or the other is specified.

3.4 The Seller reserves the right to increase the price quoted per unit for Products if the Customer orders less than the number of units upon which the quotation was based or if the cost of raw materials increases by more than 3%.
3.5 The Seller reserves the right to make annual increases to the prices quoted in relation to long term Contracts for the sale of Products as from the first anniversary of the date of commencement of any such Contract provided that such increase shall be no greater than the increase in the Index of Retail Prices maintained by the Office of National Statistics in the United Kingdom from time to time or, in the event of the abolition or a fundamental variation in the basis of that index, the relevant substituted index reflecting the general increase in the costs of goods over the preceding 12 month period.
3.6 In addition to Clause 3.5, the Seller reserves the right, and the Customer agrees, to adjust the price of the Products as a result of increases in the costs of raw materials used to manufacture the Products (Product Price Adjustment).

4.4 The Customer shall indemnify the Seller against all direct expenses reasonably incurred by the Seller in respect of the collection of any overdue sums.

-5.2.1 hold the Products on a fiduciary basis as the Seller's bailee;

-5.2.2 store the Products (at no cost to the Seller) separately from all other goods of the Customer or any third party in such a way that they remain readily identifiable as the Seller's property;

-5.2.3 not destroy, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Products;

-5.2.4 maintain the Products in satisfactory condition and keep them insured on the Seller's behalf for their full price against all risks to the reasonable satisfaction of the Seller. On request the Customer shall produce the policy of insurance to the Seller; and

-5.2.4 on trust for the Seller and not mix them with any other money, nor pay the proceeds into an overdrawn bank account.

5.4 The Seller shall have the right to sell the Products once they have been re-possessed under Clause 5.3.

The Customer's rights under this Clause 5.6 shall cease if an event specified in Clause 13.2 occurs to the Customer.
5.7 If prior to payment in full being made the Products become mingled with similar goods belonging to the Customer and/or any third party the Customer shall hold the Seller's proportion of the commingled goods or their proceeds of sale on trust for the Seller. The Seller shall be treated as a tenant-in-common of the commingled goods and the Customer shall hold as trustee for the Seller the Seller's proportion and (if the commingled goods have been sold) pay to the Seller its due proportion of the proceeds of sale.

6.1 Where no specific instructions about the manner in which the Products are to be delivered to the Customer or the delivery address are given, the Seller reserves the right in its absolute discretion to choose the means of carriage to the Customer and to direct the Products to the Customer's last known business address.

The Seller shall be under no liability arising from their choice of carrier(s), or from the act or omission of such carrier(s), and the Customer waives all rights under Section 32(2) of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 in addition to any other rights hereby excluded or restricted.

 6.3 In the case of sales where the Seller delivers directly to or contracts directly with the carrier then the Seller will repair or (at its option) replace or (at its option) issue a credit note in respect of Products lost or damaged in transit (other than by default of the Customer), provided that:

-6.3.2 in respect of complete non arrival of all of the Products comprised in the Contract notification is made to the Seller within 7 days of the date of despatch of the Products (the date of despatch to be identified from the copy despatch note sent to the Customer) and separately to the carrier within the period stipulated by the carrier's terms of carriage for claims against the carrier; and

-6.3.3 in respect of damage to all or part of the Products or loss of part of the Products comprised in the Contract notification is made to the Seller within 3 days of delivery of the Products (which will normally be stated on the carrier's consignment note) or within 14 days of delivery in the case of export business and separately to the carrier within the period stipulated by the carrier's terms of carriage for claims against the carrier. On request, the Seller will inform the Customer of the name and address of the carrier and any time limit for claims stipulated by them.

-6.6.2 sell the Products at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and other expenses) account to the Customer for the excess over the agreed price under the Contract or charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price under the Contract.

6.7 Where the Products are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate Contract and failure by the Seller to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Conditions or any claim by the Customer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Customer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.
6.8 Notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 3.5, if the Seller shall for any reason deliver less than the quantity of Products ordered, the Seller shall send to the Customer an advice note containing a statement that the balance of the Products is to follow and the date upon which it is anticipated that delivery will be made.
