The Seller cannot be held liable for any late delivery of Goods.

7.7 If the Seller fails to deliver the Goods (or any instalment) for any reason other than any cause beyond the Seller’s reasonable control or the Trade or Wholesale Buyer’s fault, and the Seller is accordingly liable to the Trade or Wholesale Buyer, the Seller’s liability shall be limited to the excess (if any) of the cost to the Trade or Wholesale Buyer (in the cheapest available market) of similar goods to replace those not delivered over the price of the Goods.

7.8 If the Trade or Wholesale Buyer fails to take delivery of the Goods [within 30 days of being notified that the Goods are ready] or fails to give the Seller adequate delivery instructions at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond the Trade or Wholesale Buyers reasonable control or by reason of the Sellers fault) then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Sellers may:

7.8.1 store the Goods until actual delivery and charge the Trade or Wholesale Buyer for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage; or

7.8.2 sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to the Trade or Wholesale Buyer for the excess over the price under the Contract or charge the Trade or Wholesale Buyer for any shortfall below the price under the Contract.

12 INTERNET POLICY

12.3 Accordingly, the Seller does not accept any liability when our Goods are sold over the internet, or by other direct means, to End Purchasers. Whilst Trade or Wholesale Buyers will have a duty of care to End Purchasers under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, no such rights will apply between the Seller and the Trade or Wholesale Buyer.

13.2 The Seller can transfer all or any of its rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation, but this will not affect the Trade or Wholesale Buyer’s rights under these Terms.

14 GENERAL
 

14.1 Any notice required or permitted to be given by either party to the other under these Terms shall be in Writing addressed to that other party at its registered office or principal place of business or such other address as may at the relevant time have been notified pursuant to this provision to the party giving the notice.
