2.2 All quotations issued by the seller are provisional and may be altered by the seller at any time to take account of any changes taking place between the date of quotation and the sellers acceptance of the order in the price of raw materials, rates of wages and other costs of productions or in the buyers specification or in the event of the order being for part only of the quantity referred to in the quotation or estimate.
2.3 Any samples given by the seller correspond with the goods as far is reasonably possible given the nature of the goods but this is not a sale by sample and the samples are not to be treated as forming part of the contract.
2.4 Any advice or recommendations given by the seller, its employees or agents as to the storage, application or use of the goods, is followed or acted upon entirely at the buyers own risk.

TRANSFER OF PROPERTY
6.1 Property in the Goods shall remain with the Seller until (i) Payment in full has been made to the seller for all monies owing in respect of all goods delivered under the contract; and (ii) No other sums whatever shall be due from the buyer to the seller. 
6.2 Until property in the goods passes to the buyer it shall hold the goods (at no cost to the seller) in a fiduciary capacity for the seller in a manner which enables them to be identified as the goods of the seller and the buyer shall immediately return the goods to the seller should it so request.
6.3 If the buyer shall, before the property in the goods has passed, use the goods in the manufacture or production of items or raw materials, whether or not in association with other goods, or if the goods are mixed with other goods, the items or materials or mixtures so produced (the new goods) shall become the property of the seller. The property in the new goods shall pass to the seller at the moment of manufacture or mixing but the new goods shall be at the buyer’s risk and the buyer should be insured accordingly.  Until the payment of all monies owing by the buyer to the seller the buyer shall hold the new goods (at no cost to the seller) in a fiduciary capacity for the seller in a manner which enables them to be identified as the goods of the seller and the buyer shall immediately deliver the new goods to the seller should it so request.
6.4 The buyer grants the seller an irrevocable licence to enter at any time any vehicle or premises owned or occupied by the buyer or in its possession for the purpose of repossessing and removing any goods and new goods the property in which vests in the seller.  The seller shall not be responsible for and the buyer will indemnify the seller against any liability in respect of damage caused in such repossession and the removal being damage it was not reasonably practicable to avoid.
6.5 Notwithstanding Conditions 6.2 and 6.3 the buyer shall be entitled to offer for sale and sell the goods and the new goods at the best obtainable price in the ordinary course of its business.  Any such sale or dealing shall be a sale or sue of the sellers property by the buyer on the buyer’s own behalf and the buyer shall deal as principal.
The buyer shall hold any claim against sub buyers in respect of such sales on trust for the seller.  The seller shall be legally and beneficially entitled to the proceeds of sale and the entire proceeds of sale or otherwise of the goods and the new goods shall be held in trust for the seller and shall not be mixed with other money or paid into any overdrawn bank account and shall be at all material times identified as the sellers money.
6.6 If:
The seller sells any new goods and the sale proceeds and exceeds the amount owing by the buyer to the seller: or
The proceeds of sale of new goods identified as the seller’s money pursuant to Condition 6.5 exceeds the amount owing by the buyer to the seller; then the seller shall apply the balance of the proceeds of sale as follows:
(i) First, if applicable in reimbursing the seller the cost and expense of the taking of possession and the sale of the new goods and any damages which the seller has suffered as a result of any repudiation of contract by the buy; and
(ii) Secondly, paying any sums due and owing to other creditors of the buyer in respect of other items and materials used in connection with the manufacture of the new goods where the property in such items and materials has remained vested in other such creditors by reason of effective reservation of title clauses and the claims of such other creditors pursuant to such reservation of title clauses have been notified to the seller by the buyer or its liquidator, administrator or receiver or by such other creditors.

RISK AND INSURANCE
7.1 Subject as provided below the goods are at the buyer’s sole risk (and the buyer shall insure the goods to their full value) from the moment of appropriation of the goods to the contract except to such extent (if any) as the seller may have the benefit of insurance against such risk.
7.2 The seller will be under no obligation to effect insurance of the goods once risk has passed to the buyer.
7.3 If the seller stores, transports or works on any goods or other property (including goods about to be delivered by the seller or goods intended for the incorporation in or use in contract goods or services) belonging to the buyer or any third party the seller does so (and they are packed and carried) at the
buyer’s sole risk and (except as provided in these conditions) the seller shall have no liability to the buyer or any other party for loss, deterioration or damage to such goods or other property howsoever arising and whether by negligence or otherwise.

DELIVERY
8.1 Time of delivery shall not be of the essence and any dates quoted for delivery are approximately only.  Any stipulated time for delivery shall date from the acceptance by the seller of the order or, if later, the receipt by the seller of all the necessary information, drawings, specifications and models to enable the seller to provide the goods.
8.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the seller the buyer shall take delivery of the goods or any instalment thereof at the place or port of shipment specified by the seller on acceptance of the order.

8.3 Where the goods are delivered in instalments, each instalment shall constitute a separate contract to which the conditions shall (with any necessary alterations) apply. 
8.4 Without prejudice to any rights of the seller, if the buyer fails to provide all necessary instructions, documents, licences, consents and authorities for forwarding or delivering the goods on or before the time the seller is ready to deliver the goods or causes delivery to be delayed for any other reason, the buyer shall pay all storage and other costs incurred by the seller arising from such a delay.
8.5 Differences in the quantity of the goods delivered from those stated in the contract shall not give the buyer a right to reject the goods and the buyer shall have no right to claim damages for breach of contract but the buyer will only be obliged to pay the contract rate for the quantity of the goods delivered.
