with BituChem’s use of the Specification. This clause 3.2 shall survive termination of the Contract.

4.1.2 if BituChem requires the Customer to return any packaging materials to BituChem, that fact is clearly stated on the delivery note.

4.2       In the event that:

4.2.1 BituChem is delivering the Goods, BituChem 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 BituChem notifies the Customer that the Goods are ready; or

4.3.1 unloading of the Goods at the Delivery Location if BituChem is delivering the Goods to the Customer or a third party haulier; or

4.3.2 loading of the Goods at the Delivery Location if the Customer or a third party haulier is collecting the Goods from BituChem.

4.4 Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. BituChem shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by:

4.4.1      a Force Majeure Event; or

4.4.2      a Mechanical Default; or

4.4.3 the Customer’s failure to provide BituChem with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods; or

4.5 If BituChem fails to deliver the Goods, its liability shall be limited to the lower of £200,000 or 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. BituChem 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 BituChem with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

4.6 If the Customer fails to either take or accept (as applicable) delivery of the Goods within three Business Days of BituChem notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready (to either be delivered to the Customer or collected by the Customer, as applicable), then, except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or BituChem’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract in respect of the Goods:

4.6.1 delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 8.00 am on the third Business Day after the day on which BituChem notified the Customer that the Goods were ready; and

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

4.7 If three Business Days after the day on which BituChem notified the Customer that the Goods were ready for delivery the Customer has not taken or accepted (as applicable) actual delivery of them, BituChem may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, account to the Customer for any excess over the price of the Goods or charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.

4.8 If BituChem delivers up to and including 5% more or less than the quantity of Goods ordered the Customer may not reject them, but on receipt of notice from the Customer that the wrong quantity of Goods was delivered, BituChem shall make a pro rata adjustment to the invoice for the Goods.

4.9 BituChem 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.

5.1.1       conform in all material respects with the Specification;

5.2       Subject to clause 5.3, if:

within a reasonable time of discovery that some or all of the Goods do not comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1;

5.2.2    BituChem is given a reasonable opportunity of examining such Goods; and

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

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

5.3 BituChem shall not be liable for the Goods’ failure to comply with the warranty set out in clause 5.1 if:

5.3.4 the defect arises as a result of BituChem following any drawing, design or specification supplied by the Customer;

5.3.5      the Customer alters or repairs such Goods without the written consent of BituChem;

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

5.3.7 the Goods differ from 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, BituChem 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.

5.6       These Conditions shall apply to any repaired or replacement Goods supplied by BituChem.

6.               TITLE AND RISK

6.1 The risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer on completion of delivery as set out in clause 4.3.

6.2.1 BituChem receives payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods and any other goods that BituChem has supplied to the Customer in respect of which payment has become due, in which case title to the Goods shall pass at the time of payment of all such sums; and

6.2.2 the Customer resells the Goods, in which case title to the Goods shall pass to the Customer at the time specified in clause 6.4.

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

6.3.1 store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Customer so that they remain readily identifiable as BituChem’s property;

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

6.3.3 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 give BituChem such information as BituChem may reasonably require from time to time relating to:

(a) the Goods; and

(b) the ongoing financial position of the Customer.

6.4 Subject to clause 6.5, the Customer may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business (but not otherwise) before BituChem receives payment for the Goods.

However, if the Customer resells the Goods before that time:

6.4.1 it does so as principal and not as BituChem’s agent; and

6.4.2 title to the Goods shall pass from BituChem to the Customer immediately before the time at which resale by the Customer occurs.

6.5       At any time before title to the Goods passes to the Customer, BituChem may:

6.5.1 by notice in writing, terminate the Customer’s right under clause 6.4 to resell the Goods or use them in the ordinary course of its business; and

6.5.2 require the Customer to deliver up all Goods in its possession that have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product 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.

7.               PRICE AND PAYMENT

7.1       The price of the Goods shall be the price set out in the Order.

7.2 BituChem may, by giving notice to the Customer at any time up to 5 Business Days before delivery, increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods that is due to:

7.2.1       any factor beyond BituChem’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 BituChem adequate or accurate information or instructions.

7.3 BituChem shall be entitled to charge a reasonable additional fee for any agreed deliveries taking place outside of Business Hours. Such fee shall be set out in the Order or as otherwise communicated to the Customer.

7.4 The price of the Goods excludes amounts in respect of value added tax (VAT), which the Customer shall additionally be liable to pay to BituChem at the prevailing rate, subject to the receipt of a valid VAT invoice.

7.5 If the Customer proposes to pay for the Goods in cash, then payment for the Goods must be made in advance of delivery to the bank account nominated in writing by BituChem. In any other case, BituChem may invoice the Customer for the Goods on or at any time after completion of the delivery.

7.6       The Customer shall pay each invoice submitted by BituChem:

7.6.1 within 30 days of the date of the invoice or in accordance with any credit terms agreed by BituChem and confirmed in writing to the Customer; and

7.6.2 in full and in cleared funds to a bank account nominated in writing by BituChem, and

time for payment shall be of the essence of the Contract.

7.7 If the Customer fails to make a payment due to BituChem under the Contract by the due date, then, without limiting BituChem’s remedies under clause 10, the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue sum from the due date until payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. Interest under this clause 7.7 will accrue each day at 4% a year above the Bank of England’s base rate from time to time, but at 4% a year for any period when that base rate is below 0%.
