All specifications, drawings, illustrations, descriptions and particulars of weights, dimensions, capacity or other details including, without limitation, any statements regarding compliance with legislation or regulation (together ”Descriptions”) wherever they appear (including without limitation in this Catalogue, on despatch notes, invoices or packaging) are intended to give a general idea of the Supplies, but will not form part of the Contract. If the Description of any Goods differs from the manufacturer’s description, the latter shall be deemed to be correct. The Company shall take all reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of Descriptions but relies on such information, if any, as may have been provided to it by its suppliers and to the fullest extent permitted by law excludes all liability in contract or tort or under statute or otherwise for any error in or omission from such Descriptions whether caused by the Company’s negligence or otherwise. The Company may make changes to the Supplies as part of a continuous programme of improvement or to comply with legislation.

9. RISK AND OWNERSHIP

The risk of damage to or loss of Goods will pass to the Customer in accordance with the relevant Incoterm, or, if none, when the Goods leave the Company’s warehouse or the hands of the Company’s carriers, if later. Ownership of the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the Company has received in full (in cash or cleared funds) all sums due from the Customer to the Company on any account whatsoever.

Until ownership passes to the Customer, the Customer must hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as the Company’s bailee, insure the Goods against all usual risks to full replacement value, not pledge or allow any lien, charge or other interest to arise over Goods, and store each delivery of Goods separately, clearly identified as the Company’s property and in a manner to enable them to be identified and cross referenced to particular invoices where reasonably possible. The Customer may use or sell Goods in the ordinary course of business, provided that the Customer will be agent for the Company in any sale if Goods are sold. However any such agency will only extend to the obligation to account for proceeds. The Company will not be bound by any contract between the Customer and the Customer’s purchaser. The Customer must account to the Company for that part of the proceeds of any such sale which equates to the price of the Goods and shall hold that amount in a separate bank account on trust for the Company. The Customer will hold on trust for the Company in a separate bank account any insurance monies received by the Customer for Goods owned by the Company.

The Company’s rights as an unpaid seller will not be affected by the Company retaining title to Goods under this Condition 9.

If payment is not received in full by the due date, or the Customer becomes bankrupt, passes a resolution for winding up or a court shall make an order to that effect, or a receiver is appointed over any assets or the undertaking of the Customer or an execution or distress is levied against the Customer, the Company shall be entitled, without previous notice, to retake possession of the Goods and for that purpose to enter upon any premises occupied or owned by the Customer.

If the Goods are mixed, processed or used so that they lose their identity or are irrevocably incorporated in, mixed with or applied to other goods to make another item, then ownership of the Goods will pass to the Customer, however a portion of proceeds of sale of any such item equivalent to the cost for the unpaid Goods remains in trust for the Company until payment for the Goods is made in full.

This Catalogue remains at all times the sole and exclusive property of the Company.

10. RETURNS

Prior to returning any Goods to the Company for any reason, the Customer must contact the Company to obtain a returns material authorisation number (‘RMA’).
