date of supply or despatch thereof to the Customer or to a nominee of the Customer and, without

prejudice to the generality but subject as aforesaid, the Company reserves the right to increase

the price of the Goods to cover any increase in the cost of production or supply of the Goods

howsoever arising.

as estimates only and any such failure shall not entitle the Customer to cancel or terminate any

order or the contract.

within 7 days of its receipt the customer shall be barred from challenging the invoice and shall

be deemed conclusively to have accepted that the goods described therein were received and

that the sum claimed in the invoice is due.

or supply the Goods in one lot, shipment or consignment and the Customer shall be bound to

accept split deliveries or delivery or supply of the Goods by instalments.

to the Company for the Goods already delivered or supplied by the Company to the Customer

or to a nominee of the Customer or shall make prior payment for the Goods ordered but nondelivered

equipment breakdown or any other cause beyond the control of the Company. Should any such

event occur, the Company at its option may cancel or suspend (or both) the contract without

incurring any liability whatsoever for any loss or damage thereby occasioned.

The Customer hereby waives any and all existing or future claims for compensation or set off

against any payments due by the Customer to the Company under the contract and the Customer
