The deposits paid towards the purchase of any Good does not in any way guarantee the availability or continued availability of such goods. Retail customers are responsible for ensuring that all goods are paid for in full, 3 business days before delivery. Payment must be by cleared funds to avoid delay in receiving the Goods. The Seller shall not be bound to give up possession of the Goods until it shall have received payment in cleared funds. Accordingly if the Buyer fails to make any payment on due date then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Company, the Company shall be entitled to cancel the Contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Buyer

Any subsequent claim to the contrary howsoever arising shall not be accepted by the Company. Deliveries to Customers' sites are to the ground floor of such locations only. Neither the Company nor its member of staff shall take goods beyond the ground floor nor be liable for any damage to the Goods as a result of it being transported beyond the ground floor. Delivery shall be made only upon full payment of purchase price except otherwise agreed in writing. The Client shall bear all costs and risks of destruction, loss or damages to the Goods from the moment the Goods are delivered to site or other agreed location and at the Client’s disposal, unless such loss or damages is attributable to the negligence of the Company or its employees. The Company is entitled to deliver all or part of the goods in advance of stated delivery date, after full payment has been made, or within a reasonable time not exceeding three (3) months after the agreed delivery date, failure to deliver without justifiable cause shall entitle the Buyer to either repudiate the sale and demand for a refund of any deposit made to the Company. Should the Buyer refuse to receive all or part of the Goods delivered at the Buyer's designated site, the Company may, at its discretion, require compliance with the contract, or declare said contract terminated in full or in relation to the rejected goods. Irrespective of the option selected, the Company maintains the right to claim compensation for damages and may set off such compensation against any monies due from it to the Buyer. Delay in delivery of any items, either in whole or in part, does not constitute justification for the delay or suspension of payment for the items already ordered. For the avoidance of doubt, payments for all items ordered are due no later than 30 days after the issuance of invoice and not conditional upon delivery. Any time or date stated on a written quote or order, or given verbally, is given as an estimate only.

Any failure to take delivery by the Buyer shall be deemed to be a breach of the Contract. Signature of any note by an agent, employee or representative of the buyer shall be conclusive proof of delivery. The Buyer must within 48 hours of delivery inspect the goods and immediately advise the Company of any damage for investigation. Quantities of goods supplied should be confirmed at point of delivery; subsequent claims for shortages will not be accepted. Risk of loss or damage to the items passes to the Buyer when the Goods are accepted by the Buyer, or the Buyer's representative or agent. The Buyer agrees to accept delivery within 3 months of the order being fully available.
