9.3.2.     the Seller shall be under no liability for the Goods in respect of any defect arising from fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, abnormal working conditions, failure to follow the Seller’s instructions (whether oral or in Writing), misuse or alteration or repair of the Goods without the Seller’s approval;

9.3.4.     the above warranty, relating to such of the Goods as are manufactured by the Seller, does not extend to parts, materials or equipment not manufactured by the Seller, in respect of which the Buyer shall only be entitled to the benefit of any such warranty or guarantee as is given by the manufacturer to the Seller to the extent that the Seller is able to pass on to the Buyer.

9.4.         Subject as expressly provided in these Conditions, all warranties, conditions or other terms implied by statute or common law, are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

If the Buyer does not notify the Seller accordingly of the defect or failure in the Goods and/or Services, the Buyer shall not be entitled to reject the Goods and the Seller shall have no liability for such defect or failure in the Goods and/or Services, and the Buyer shall be bound to pay the price as if the Goods and/or Services had been delivered in accordance with the Contract.

9.6.         In the event of a breach of warranty in clause 9.1 and 9.2 the Seller shall be entitled to repair or replace the Goods (or the part in question) free of charge or, at the Seller's sole discretion, refund to the Buyer the price of the Goods (or a proportionate part of the price), but the Seller shall have no further liability to the Buyer.

9.7.         Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by the Seller’s negligence or fraudulent misrepresentation:

9.7.1.     the Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer for any loss of profit or any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage, costs, expenses or other claims for consequential compensation whatsoever which arises out of or in connection with the supply of the Goods and/or Services or their use or resale by the Buyer, except as expressly provided in these Conditions;

9.7.2.     the Seller's entire liability to the Buyer arising under or in connection with these Conditions whether for negligence, breach of contract, or otherwise shall be the greater of:

The Seller shall resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably possible after the removal of the cause and shall so notify the Buyer. In the event that the cause continues for more than one month either party may terminate this Contract by giving the other party 30 days’ written notice.

 

10.1.      If any claim is made against the Buyer that the Goods infringe or that their use or resale infringes the patent, copyright, design, trade mark or other industrial or intellectual property rights of any other person, the Seller shall indemnify the Buyer (except where the claim arises as a result of the Buyer having failed to comply with Clause 8.3, in which case the Seller will have the benefit of the indemnity set out in Clause 8.3) against all loss, damages, costs and expenses awarded against or incurred by the Buyer in connection with the claim, or paid or agreed to be paid by the Buyer in settlement of the claim, provided that:

10.1.1.   the Seller is given full control of any proceedings or negotiations in connection with any such claim;

10.1.2.   the Buyer shall give the Seller all reasonable assistance for the purposes of any such proceedings or negotiations

10.1.3.   except pursuant to an award by court from which no appeal lies, the Buyer shall not pay or accept any such claim, or compromise any such proceedings without the consent of the Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld);

10.1.4.   the Buyer shall do nothing which would or might vitiate any policy of insurance or insurance cover which the Buyer may have in relation to such infringement, and this indemnity shall not apply to the extent that the Buyer recovers any sums under any such policy or cover (which the Buyer shall use its best endeavours to do);

10.1.5.   the Seller shall be entitled to the benefit of, and the Buyer shall accordingly account to the Seller for, all damages and costs (if any) awarded in favour of the Buyer which are payable by or agreed with the consent of the Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to be paid by any other party in respect of any such claim; and

10.1.6 without prejudice to any duty of the Buyer at common law, the Seller shall be entitled to require the Buyer to take such steps as the Seller may reasonable require to mitigate or reduce any such loss, damages, costs or expenses for which the Seller is liable to indemnify the Buyer under this clause.

 

11.1.      This clause applies if:

11.1.1. the Buyer makes any voluntary arrangement with its creditors or becomes subject to an administration order or (being an individual or firm) becomes bankrupt or (being a company) goes into liquidation (otherwise than for the purposes of amalgamation or reconstruction); or

13.1.      In this Clause 13 ‘Incoterms’ means the international rules for the interpretation of trade terms of the International Chamber of Commerce as in force at the date when the Contract is made. Unless the context otherwise requires, any term or expression which is defined in or given a particular meaning by the provisions of Incoterms shall have the same meaning in these Conditions, but if there is any conflict between the provisions of Incoterms and these Conditions, the latter shall prevail.

13.2.      Where the Goods are supplied for export from the United Kingdom, the provisions of this Clause 13 shall (subject to any special terms agreed in Writing between the Buyer and a director of the Seller) apply notwithstanding any other provision of these Conditions.

13.3.      The Buyer shall be responsible for complying with any legislation or regulations governing the importation of the Goods into the country of destination and for the payment of any duties thereon.

14.1.2.   If posted, at the time of expiration of 48 hours or (in the case of airmail) 7 days after the envelope containing the notice is posted.

14.2.      Unless specifically stated to the contrary, no failure or delay by either party in exercising any of its rights under these Conditions shall be deemed to be a waiver of that right, and no waiver by either party of any breach of these Conditions by the other shall be considered as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision.

14.3.      If any provision of these Conditions is held by any competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part the validity of the other provisions of these Conditions and the remainder of the provisions in question shall not be affected.

14.4.      A person who is not a party to any Contract under these Conditions has no right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of this Agreement but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.

14.5.      The Contract shall be governed by the laws of England, and the parties hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts for all purposes arising in connection with these Conditions.

14.6.      These Conditions and the documents referred to in them, constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties and supersede any previous agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter of any Contract under these Conditions. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that in entering into a Contract, and the documents referred to in it, it does not rely on, and shall have no remedy in respect of, any statement, representation, warranty or understanding (whether negligently or innocently made) of any person (whether party to this agreement or not) other than as expressly set out in the Contract. The only remedy available to it for breach of any warranty shall be for breach of contract under the terms of this agreement. Nothing in this sub-clause shall, however, operate to limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

14.7.      The Buyer shall not without the prior written consent of the Seller assign, transfer, charge, declare a trust over, or deal with this Agreement or its rights under it or part of it, or purport to do any of the same.
