3.3             Restmor reserves the right to amend the specification of the Goods or the Specification if required by any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

4. Delivery

4.1             Restmor shall ensure that each delivery of the Goods is accompanied by a delivery note which shows the date of the dispatch notice, all relevant Customer and Restmor reference numbers, the type and quantity of the Goods (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable), special storage instructions (if any) and, if the Order is being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Goods remaining to be delivered.

4.2             Restmor shall deliver the Goods to the location set out in the Order or such other location as the parties may agree (Delivery Location) at any time after Restmor notifies the Customer that the Goods are ready.

4.3             Delivery of the Goods shall be completed on the Goods' arrival at the Delivery Location.

4.4             Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence.

4.5             If Restmor fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Customer in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. Restmor shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer's failure to provide Restmor with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

4.6             If the Customer fails to take delivery of the Goods within three Business Days of Restmor notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready, then, except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or Restmor's failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract:

4.6.1        delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 9.00 am on the third Business Day after the day on which Restmor notified the Customer that the Goods were ready; and

4.6.2        Restmor shall store the Goods until delivery takes place, and charge the Customer for all related costs and expenses (including insurance).

4.7             If 10 Business Days after the day on which Restmor notified the Customer that the Goods were ready for delivery the Customer has not taken delivery of them, Restmor may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods.

4.8             The Customer shall not be entitled to reject the Goods if Restmor delivers up to and including 5% more or less than the quantity of Goods ordered.

4.9             Restmor may deliver the Goods by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate Contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment.

5. Quality

5.1.1        conform with their description and any applicable Specification;

5.2.3        the Customer (if asked to do so by Restmor) returns such Goods to Restmor's place of business at the Customer's cost,

Restmor shall, at its option, repair or replace the defective Goods, or refund the price of the defective Goods in full.

5.3.1        the Customer makes any further use of such Goods after giving notice in accordance with clause 5.2;

5.3.3        the defect arises as a result of Restmor following any drawing, design or Specification supplied by the Customer;

5.3.4        the Customer alters or repairs such Goods without the written consent of Restmor;

5.3.5        the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal storage or working conditions; or

5.3.6        the Goods differ from their description the Specification as a result of changes made to ensure they comply with applicable statutory or regulatory requirements.

5.4             Except as provided in this clause 5, Restmor shall have no liability to the Customer in respect of the Goods' failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1.

5.5             The terms implied by sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, excluded from the Contract.

6. Retention of Title and risk

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

6.2             Restmor Ltd, remain the owner of all goods supplied to the customer until such time payment has been received in full from the purchaser.

                  Title to the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until Restmor has received payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for:

6.2.1        the Goods; and

6.2.2        any other goods or services that Restmor has supplied to the Customer in respect of which payment has become due.

6.3             Until title to the Goods has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall: 

6.3.1        hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as Restmor's bailee; 

6.3.2        store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Customer so that they remain readily identifiable as Restmor's property; 

6.3.3        not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;

6.3.4        maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery;

6.3.5        notify Restmor immediately if it becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 8.2; and

6.3.6        give Restmor such information relating to the Goods as Restmor may require from time to time,

but the Customer may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business.

6.4             If before title to the Goods passes to the Customer the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 8.2, or Restmor reasonably believes that any such event is about to happen and notifies the Customer accordingly, then, provided that the Goods have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product, and without limiting any other right or remedy Restmor may have, Restmor may at any time require the Customer to deliver up the Goods and, if the Customer fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Customer or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.

6.5            If the goods have been resold, Restmor's beneficial entitlement shall be attached to the proceeds of the re-sale and we will be able to claim the full purchase price of the proceeds received. It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that all goods received from the Company are fully insured against any eventuality including, but not limited to, fire, theft, flooding etc., until such time ownership of said goods has passed to the purchaser. Should goods become damaged in any way after they have been received by the purchaser, the purchaser will be liable to pay to the Company the full purchase price of the goods.

7.2.1        any factor beyond Restmor's control (including foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties, and increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs);

7.2.2        any request by the Customer to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered, or the Specification; or

7.2.3        any delay caused by any instructions of the Customer or failure of the Customer to give Restmor adequate or accurate information or instructions.

The Customer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.

8. Customer's insolvency or incapacity

8.1             If the Customer becomes subject to any of the events listed in clause 8.2, or Restmor reasonably believes that the Customer is about to become subject to any of them and notifies the Customer accordingly, then, without limiting any other right or remedy available to Restmor, Restmor may cancel or suspend all further deliveries under the Contract or under any other contract between the Customer and Restmor without incurring any liability to the Customer, and all outstanding sums in respect of Goods delivered to the Customer shall become immediately due.
