      1. a breach by the Customer of any of its obligations under this Contract;
      2. an Event of Force Majeure; or
      3. any design, specification or requirement of the Customer.
    4. Except where expressly provided for within this Contract, Supplier excludes all conditions, warranties, terms and obligations, whether express or implied by statute, common law or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law in respect of the Services.
    5. The provisions of clause 7.2 are the Customer’s sole and exclusive remedies (howsoever arising, whether in contract, tort, negligence or otherwise) for any breach of clause 7.1 or for any other error or defect in the Deliverables or defective performance of the Services.
  8. RE-STOCKING
    1. This Clause 8 applies in respect of Products which have been delivered in accordance with this Contract but where Customer would like them to be returned to Supplier. This Clause 8 is only applicable to sales made to UK customers. Restocking is not applicable to any customer outside of the UK.
    2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Contract or any documentation supplied by the Supplier to the Customer, at Supplier’s absolute discretion and subject to any conditions that Supplier stipulates, Supplier may provide its written authorisation to Customer's return of the Products or the cancellation of this Contract (or part of it) after delivery by Supplier. No agreement to return any Products or cancel any Order is effective unless provided in writing by a person authorised to do so on behalf of the Supplier. Conditions for the return of the Products or cancellation of this Contract can include, without limitation:
      1. the Customer paying Supplier a return or cancellation fee of 20% of the Fee or the Supplier’s minimum charge of £50 (the “Minimum Returns Charge”), whichever is higher. The Minimum Returns Charge is subject to change by the Supplier from time to time; or
      2. the Customer placing an Order for Products with a value of at least double the value of the relevant Products in the cancelled Order or which are being returned.
    3. Customer shall not be entitled to cancel an Order or a Contract or return any Products under this Clause 8 if:
      1. written authorisation in accordance with Clause 8.2 has not been provided by Supplier;
      2. the Products have been damaged, modified or in any way changed or altered after Supplier delivered them; or
      3. instalment has commenced in respect of them; or
      4. at the time of the requested cancellation or return, the relevant Product is not included in the then current edition of the Brochure and at least 6 months has elapsed since the most recent edition of the Brochure was issued; or
      5. the Products have been ordered or made specifically to Customer’s specification, order or requirements, including Bespoke Products; or
      6. the boxes or packaging containing the Products are damaged or do not contain the same number and type of Products that were originally provided by the Supplier in such boxes or packaging; or
      7. the Products are in a form that makes it difficult to re-sell them without Supplier incurring cost.
    4. If Supplier agrees to part or full cancellation or returns of Products, Customer shall re-deliver the Products at its own cost or make them available for collection in accordance with the timeframes and manner and packing (including the original packaging, where specified) that Supplier reasonably requires (including for delivery of large or heavy items to Supplier’s main warehouse). Supplier shall charge a transport fee for collecting the cancelled Products from Customer or Customer’s (direct or indirect) customers.
  9. LIABILITY
    1. This Clause 9 prevails over all other Clauses and sets forth the entire Liability of Supplier, and the sole and exclusive remedies of Customer, in respect of:
      1. performance, non-performance, purported performance, delay in performance or mis-performance of this Contract or of any goods or services in connection with this Contract; or
      2. otherwise in relation to this Contract or entering into this Contract.
    2. Supplier does not exclude or limit its Liability for:
      1. its fraud; or
      2. death or personal injury caused by its Negligence; or
      3. any breach of the non-excludable obligations implied by law as to having title to supply goods; or
      4. any other Liability which cannot be excluded or limited by applicable law.
    3. Subject to Clause 9.2, Supplier does not accept and it hereby excludes any Liability for Negligence other than any Liability arising pursuant to the terms of this Contract.
    4. Subject to the Clause 9.2, Supplier shall not have any Liability in respect of any:
      1. indirect or consequential losses, damages, costs or expenses;
      2. loss of actual or anticipated profits;
      3. loss of contracts;
      4. loss of use of money;
      5. loss of anticipated savings;
      6. loss of revenue;
      7. loss of goodwill;
      8. loss of reputation;
      9. ex gratia payments;
      10. loss of business;
      11. loss of operation time;
      12. loss of opportunity; or
      13. loss of, damage to or corruption of, data (except to the extent that that Supplier specifically has a responsibility to prevent loss of, damage to or corruption of, data under this Contract);

      whether or not such losses were reasonably foreseeable or Supplier or its agents or contractors had been advised of the possibility of such losses being incurred. For the avoidance of doubt, Clauses 9.4.2 to 9.4.13 apply whether such losses are direct, indirect, consequential or otherwise.

    5. Subject to Clause 9.2, the total aggregate Liability of Supplier for all causes of action arising out of or in connection with all claims in aggregate (including warranty claims and losses relating to the breach of warranty) shall be limited to 100% of the total sums paid by Customer to Supplier under this Contract in respect of the particular Products for which there are such claims.
    6. The limitation of Liability under Clause 9.5 has effect in relation both to any Liability expressly provided for under this Contract and to any Liability arising by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of any term of this Contract.
    7. In this Contract:
      1. "Liability" means liability in or for breach of contract, tort (whether deliberate or not), Negligence, breach of statutory duty, misrepresentation, restitution or any other cause of action whatsoever relating to or arising under or in connection with this Contract, including liability expressly provided for under this Contract or arising by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of any term of this Contract (and for the purposes of this definition, all references to "this Contract" shall be deemed to include any collateral contract); and
      2. "Negligence" means the breach of any (i) obligation arising from the express or implied terms of a contract to take reasonable care or exercise reasonable skill in the performance of the contract or (ii) common law duty to take reasonable care or exercise reasonable skill (but not any stricter duty).
  10. FEE
    1. Customer shall pay to Supplier the Fee and other sums due under this Contract.
    2. Where Supplier requires a particular part of the Fee to be paid in advance of delivery of the Products, delivery of the Products is conditional on Supplier first receiving the advanced part of the Fee and any other sums due in cleared funds in full from Customer.
    3. Unless otherwise stipulated in the Quotation or Long Term Agreement or in writing between the Parties for part or all payment of the Fee to take place after delivery (in which case, Supplier may invoice on delivery (as the case may be), or making available for collection, of the Products (or part of them)), Supplier may issue the invoice to Customer for the Fee (or the relevant part) and other sums due in connection with the Fee upon issuing the Order Acknowledgement.
    4. Subject to Clause 10.2, unless otherwise provided by Supplier in writing that Customer has been given any credit terms, Customer shall pay Supplier in full for any sums due under this Contract on receipt of the Order Acknowledgement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between Supplier and Customer (including pursuant to the credit terms granted to Customer by Supplier under its trade account with Supplier), to the extent that Supplier has given Customer credit terms in writing from time to time, Customer shall pay Supplier in full for any sums due under this Contract by the end of the month following the month of the invoice date (or such other period as Supplier may stipulate in writing).
    5. Supplier may stipulate in writing a total credit limit for Customer from time to time. If there are any amounts due or owing from Customer (and any other customers associated with Customer) to Supplier under any agreement between them (including under this Contract) in aggregate in excess of the total credit limit, Supplier may withhold delivery or making available Products for collection until Customer pays such sum to Supplier so as to reduce the amounts due or owing below the credit limit.
    6. Where Supplier requires for payment by letter of credit, Customer shall conform to such requirements for the letter of credit as are stipulated in this Contract and/or as stipulated in writing by Supplier to Customer. Unless Supplier specifies in writing to the contrary, the letter of credit shall be confirmed, irrevocable and without recourse, providing for payment at sight, allowing partial deliveries and collections, and issued and confirmed by first class banks to Supplier’s satisfaction. The costs for the letter of credit shall be payable by Customer. If Customer fails to provide the required letter of credit, Supplier may refuse to despatch an Order on an export basis.
    7. Customer is responsible for complying with any applicable government export control laws and regulations.
    8. The Fee and all sums due under this Contract are exclusive of any VAT, or other sales, import and export duties or taxes (if applicable), which shall be payable in addition at the same time as payment of the Fee and other sums due.
    9. Customer shall pay Supplier by any payment method reasonably stipulated by Supplier.
    10. Unless otherwise stipulated in this Contract or agreed in writing between the Parties, payment shall be in the currency in force in England from time to time.
    11. Payment shall be deemed made when Supplier has received cleared funds in full.
    12. Payment of all sums due to Supplier under this Contract shall be made by Customer in full without any set-off, deduction or withholding whatsoever.
    13. If Customer is late in paying any part of any monies due to Supplier under this Contract or any other agreement between the Parties, Supplier may (without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to it whether under this Contract or by any statute, regulation or bye-law) do any or all of the following:
      1. charge interest on the amount due but unpaid at the annual rate of interest set under Section 6 of the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 from time to time from the due date until payment (after as well as before judgment), such interest to run from day to day and to be compounded monthly; and
      2. recover Supplier’s costs and expenses and charges (including legal and debt collection fees and costs) in collecting the late payment; and
      3. sell or otherwise dispose of any Products which are the subject of any Order, whether or not appropriated thereto, and apply the proceeds of sale to the overdue payment; and
      4. suspend the performance of this Contract and any other agreement between Supplier and Customer until payment in full has been made.
  11. WEEE DIRECTIVE
    1. The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations (SI 2006/3289) (the "WEEE Regulation") requires that any product showing the crossed out wheelie bin symbol must not be disposed of with other household or commercial waste to prevent possible harm to the environment or human health from uncontrolled waste disposal.
    2. Under the alternative arrangement under the WEEE Regulations 9(2), Supplier does not charge its customers a “WEEE Levy” at the time of purchase. Supplier encourages its customers to separate any WEEE related Products from other waste types and recycle them responsibly through their nearest recycling centre or via their chosen waste contractor.
    3. Customer may request Supplier to arrange the collection of its unwanted WEEE related Products. Supplier shall be under no obligation to agree or comply with such a request by Customer. If Supplier chooses to agree to the request, Supplier will arrange, at its sole discretion as to time and date of collection, to take back the WEEE related Products. However, as no WEEE Levy is incurred by Customer at the time of purchase, Supplier reserves the right, at the time of collection, to charge Customer a collection fee for compliance with a request pursuant to this Clause 11.3.
  12. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
    1. Customer and Supplier acknowledge that, as between them, Supplier and its licensors own all Intellectual Property Rights in the Products, whether or not any of the Products are created, designed or adapted at the specific request of Customer, including Bespoke Products. Customer shall not have any rights over or to use the Products other than as expressly provided under this Contract.
    2. To the extent that Intellectual Property Rights in the Products may not originally vest in Supplier as contemplated under this Agreement, Customer hereby irrevocably assigns, transfers and conveys to Supplier all Intellectual Property Rights, title and interest therein. Customer shall give Supplier all reasonable assistance and execute all documents necessary to assist or enable Supplier to perfect, preserve, register and record its rights in such Intellectual Property Rights.
  13. TERM AND TERMINATION
    1. This Contract shall commence when it becomes legally binding in accordance with Clause 2.10 and, unless terminated earlier by either Party exercising any right of termination as set out in this Contract, shall continue in force until the later of:
      1. Customer having paid for the Fee and all sums in full; and
      2. Supplier having despatched all the Products to Customer.
    2. Either Party may terminate this Contract immediately by notice to the other Party if:
      1. the other Party is in persistent breach of any of its obligations under this Contract or any other agreement between the Parties; or
      2. the other Party is in material breach of any of its obligations under this Contract or any other agreement between the Parties which is incapable of remedy; or
      3. the other Party fails to remedy, where capable of remedy, any material breach of any of its obligations under this Contract or any other agreement between the Parties after having been required in writing to remedy such breach within a period of no less than 30 days; or
      4. (in any event) the other Party (being Customer) is at least 10 Business Days' late in paying any sum due under this Contract; or
      5. the other Party gives notice to any of its creditors that it has suspended or is about to suspend payment or if it is or shall be unable to pay its debts as they come due, or enters into any compromise or arrangement with any of its creditors (other than for the sole purpose of a scheme for a solvent amalgamation of that other Party with one or more other companies or the solvent reconstruction of that other Party), or an order is made or a resolution is passed for the winding-up of the other Party or an administration order is made or an administrator is appointed to manage the affairs, business and property of the other Party or a receiver or manager or administrative receiver is appointed in respect of all or any of the other Party's assets or undertaking or circumstances arise which entitle the court or a creditor to appoint a receiver or manager or administrative receiver or administrator or which entitle the court to make a winding-up or bankruptcy order or the other Party takes or suffers any similar or analogous action in consequence of debt in any jurisdiction; or
      6. the other Party (being Customer) is subject to an adverse or decline in credit rating or credit status by Customer’s bank or credit status organisation or credit insurer.
    3. The relevant Party may elect in its absolute discretion to suspend this Contract instead of, or prior to, terminating under Clause 13.2 if the circumstances arise as described in Clause 13.2.
    4. Termination or expiry of this Contract shall be without prejudice to any accrued rights or remedies of either Party.
    5. Termination or expiry of this Contract will not affect the coming into force or continuance in force of any provision which is expressly or by implication intended to come into or continue in force on or after such termination or expiry.
    6. Upon termination or expiry of this Contract for any reason:
      1. Supplier shall cease to perform this Contract; and
      2. all outstanding Fees and any other sums shall become immediately payable, whether invoiced or not.
  14. FORCE MAJEURE
    1. Save for obligations in respect of payment of the Fee, neither Party shall have any Liability for any breach, hindrance or delay in the performance of this Contract attributable to any cause beyond its reasonable control including any act of God, actions or omissions of third parties not in the same group as the Party seeking to rely on this Clause (including hackers, suppliers, couriers, governments, quasi-governmental, supra-national or local authorities), insurrection, riot, civil war, civil commotion, war, hostilities, threat of war, warlike operations, armed conflict, imposition of sanctions, embargo, seizure or forfeiture, breaking off of diplomatic relations or similar actions, national emergencies, actual or threatened or suspected terrorism, nuclear, chemical or biological contamination, sonic boom, piracy, arrests, restraints or detainments of any competent authority, blockade, strikes or combinations or lock-out of workmen, unusual traffic volumes, unusual travel restrictions, epidemic, fire, explosion, storm, flood, drought, adverse weather conditions (including cold, heat, wind, rain, snow, ice or fog), loss at sea, earthquake, volcano, ash cloud, natural disaster, accident, mechanical breakdown, third party software or infrastructure or communications, cyberattack, collapse of building structures, failure of plant machinery or machinery (other than used by the relevant Party) or third party computers or third party hardware or vehicles, failure or problems with public utility supplies (including general: electrical, telecoms, water, gas, postal, courier, communications or Internet disruption or failure), shortage of or delay in or inability to obtain supplies, stocks, storage, materials, equipment or transportation ("Event of Force Majeure"), regardless of whether the circumstances in question could have been foreseen.
    2. Each Party agrees to inform the other upon becoming aware of an Event of Force Majeure, such notice to contain details of the circumstances giving rise to the Event of Force Majeure.
    3. The performance of each Party's obligations shall be suspended during the period that the circumstances persist and such Party shall be granted an extension of time for performance equal to the period of the delay.
    4. Each Party shall bear its own costs incurred by the Event of Force Majeure.
    5. Should any performance of obligations be delayed under this Clause 14, each Party shall nevertheless accept performance as and when the other shall be able to perform.

    7. If Supplier has contracted to provide identical or similar products or services to more than one customer and is prevented from fully meeting its obligations to Customer by reason of an Event of Force Majeure, Supplier may decide at its absolute discretion which contracts it will perform and to what extent.

Supplier shall promptly give notice to Customer of any such assignment, transfer or novation.
    2. Customer shall not (and shall not purport to) assign, transfer, novate, charge or otherwise encumber, create any trust over or deal in any manner with this Contract or any of its rights, liabilities or obligations under this Contract without the prior written consent of Supplier (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
