and conditions which apply to the whole or any executed part of an order.
1. QUOTATION
Unless previously withdrawn, a quotation issued by the Company is valid
for 30 days or such other period as stated in writing. A quotation
is an invitation to manufacture, not to be construed as an obligation
to sell and the Company reserves the right to withdraw the quotation
at any time.

The Company may accept cancellation of orders for stock standard products
in part or whole up until the time of despatch. No cancellation of
an order will be accepted after the despatch of the goods from the

has completely fulfilled all his obligations under the contract the
property in the goods remains with the Company and if in the Purchaser’s
possession, will be held as Bailee and returned immediately unused
and undamaged upon demand. The Purchaser will hold the Company indemnified
against any claim or liability or injury to, or, by the goods in the
meantime.
Unless specifically agreed by the Company in writing before despatch
of the goods, no deduction is to be made from payment for retention
monies to guarantee performance of contract.

carrier.
The Purchaser shall inspect the goods immediately on the arrival thereof
and shall within twenty four (24) hours from such an inspection give
notice to the Company of any matter or thing by reason whereof he may
allege that the goods are not in accordance with the contract. Such
notice must be subsequently confirmed and received in writing by the
Company within seven (7) days from receipt of goods. If the Purchaser
shall fail to give such notice the goods shall be deemed to be in all
respects in accordance with the contract and the Purchaser shall be
bound to accept and pay for the same accordingly.
5. FREIGHT

any associated charges connected with the shipment, delivery and
receipt of goods shall be paid by the Company. The Company has the
right to nominate the manner of delivery unless agreed to otherwise
in writing.
6. DELAY IN DELIVERY AND FORCE MAJEURE
Delivery and availability dates are estimates and approximate only
and although the Company will use its best endeavours to maintain
these estimates, no liability is accepted for delay from any cause
whatever. The time of delivery in any quotation represents the time
at which the goods are to be ready for despatch from the Company’s
premises and the Company is to be allowed the further time necessary
to cover transport to points of delivery. The Company does not accept
orders under penalty for late delivery. The Company reserves the
right to ship orders in whole or by instalment and each instalment
shall be deemed to be sold under a separate contract. Any failure
on the part of the Company to deliver within the time stated shall
not entitle the Purchaser to repudiate the contract in whole or in
part.

without limiting any act of God, war, strike, lock out, industrial
dispute, governmental or semi-governmental award, enactment, priority
or restriction, fire, flood, storm or tempest, delay in obtaining licenses,
transport, labour or materials, accidents, damage of the Company’s
works or business or those of its suppliers, the Company is prevented
from making delivery or performance of the time stipulated, the Company
shall be entitled at its option either to extend the time for delivery
or performance for a reasonable period to terminate the contract and
the Purchaser shall not in consequence have any claim for damages and
shall pay for all deliveries made or services performed prior to the
date of such determination and all expenses incurred and monies paid
by the Company in connection with the contract.
7. DESCRIPTION
Any representation, promise, agreement or description by the Company
or any employee, agent or dealer is expressly excluded and the Purchaser
acknowledges that they have relied solely upon their own inspection
and skill and judgement and not by reason of any such representation,
promise, statement or description. All photographs, weights, illustrations,
dimensions and any other particulars given in or accompanying a quotation
or contained in descriptive literature are approximate only and deviations
there from shall not vitiate the contract or be made the basis of
any claim against the Company.

in materials and workmanship in accordance with the manufacturer’s
warranty. This warranty does not cover the repair of any fault or
the replacement of any defective part resulting from the negligence
or malpractice of the Purchaser or his servants. The Purchaser shall
