Carriage shall be paid for by the Buyer. 3.2 Payment of the price and VAT and any other applicable costs shall be due within 30 days of the date of receipt of the invoice supplied by the Seller or otherwise as agreed in T&C’s of Seller’s supply agreement with Buyer. 3.3 The Seller shall be entitled to charge interest on overdue invoices from the date when payment becomes due from day to day until the date of payment at a rate of 5% per annum above the base rate of the Bank of England. 3.4 If payment of the price or any part thereof is not made by the due date, the Seller shall be entitled to: 3.4.1 require payment in advance of delivery in relation to any Goods not previously delivered; 3.4.2 refuse to make delivery of any undelivered Goods whether ordered under the contract or not and without incurring any liability whatever to the Buyer for non-delivery or any delay in delivery; 3.4.3 terminate the contract.

4. DESCRIPTION

Any description given or applied to the Goods is given by way of identification only and the use of such description shall not constitute a sale by description. For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer hereby affirms that it does not in any way rely on any description when entering into the contract.

5. SAMPLE

Where a sample of the Goods is shown to and inspected by the Buyer, the parties hereto accept that such a sample is so shown and inspected for the sole purpose of enabling the Buyer to judge for itself the quality of the bulk, and not so as to constitute a sale by sample.

6. DELIVERY

6.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, delivery of the Goods shall take place at the address specified by the Seller on the date specified by the Seller. 6.2 The date of delivery specified by the Seller is an estimate only. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence of the contract. 6.3 If the Buyer is unable to take delivery of the Goods for reasons beyond its control, then the Seller shall be entitled to place the Goods in storage until such times as delivery may be effected and the Buyer shall be liable for any expense associated with such storage.

7. RISK

Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer at the moment the Goods are entrusted to it or set aside for its collection, whichever happens first.
