Prices

If the Buyer gives notice in writing to the Company that some or all of the Goods do not comply with the warranty set out above and the Company is given a reasonable opportunity of examining such Goods and the Buyer (if asked to do so by the Company) returns such Goods to the Company's place of business at the Buyer's cost, the Company shall, at its option, repair or replace the defective Goods, or refund, if paid, the price of the defective Goods in full. 

The Company shall not be liable for the Goods’ failure to comply with the manufacturer’s warranty as set out above, if (a) the Buyer makes any further use of such Goods or sells them after giving notice; (b) the defect arose because the Buyer failed to follow the Company’s or the manufacturer’s instructions (oral or written) or good practice as to the storage, installation, use and maintenance of the Goods; (c) the Goods were altered or repaired without the written consent of the Company; or (d) the defect arose as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence or abnormal use, storage or working conditions.

Title And Risk

The risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer on completion of delivery. 

Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until the Company has received payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods and any other goods or services that the Company has supplied to the Buyer. 

Until title to the Goods has passed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall hold the Goods on afiduciary basis as the Company's Bailee, store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Buyer so that they remain readily identifiable as the Company's property, not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods, maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery, notify the Company immediately if it becomes subject to Insolvency or Incapacity and give the Company such information relating to the Goods as the Company may require from time to time but the Buyer may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business. 

If before title to the Goods passes to the Buyer the Buyer becomes subject to Insolvency or Incapacity, or the Company reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen and notifies the Buyer accordingly, then, provided that the Goods have not been resold or used and without limiting any other right or remedy the Company may have, the Company may at any time require the Buyer to deliver up the Goods and, if the Buyer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Buyer or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.
