Where time of performance has been agreed by the Seller to be of the essence of the contract, and the Seller fails to comply with its obligations in due time, the Buyer shall be entitled to compensation for actual loss and expense sustained as a  result of the Seller’s delay in delivery/performance, which was foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the Contract and resulting from the usual course of events, subject always to  the limitations of liability set out in clause 10.

​

7.6. The Seller shall be under no liability to the Buyer should the Seller be prevented from fulfilling its obligations under the Contract by unforeseen events affecting the Seller or its suppliers and which, notwithstanding all care that may be reasonably taken by the Seller in the circumstances of the case, the Seller was not able to avert which include without limitation, war, acts of State, riots,  acts of God, epidemics and pandemics, accidents, operational disturbances, strikes, lock-outs and delays in the delivery of essential utilities or materials (“Force Majeure Event”).

The Seller shall, after the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event, exercise reasonable efforts to mitigate its effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of the Contract pursuant to this Clause 6.4 shall not affect either party’s rights and claims arising prior to the termination of the contract.

​

7.7. If the Seller is in default of its obligations to deliver the goods, the Buyer shall have the right to terminate the Contract provided it has given written notice to Seller to rectify the default within a reasonable period of time that is not less than 14 days and thereafter, at the expiration of such extended period, the Seller is still in default of its obligations.

Any claim in respect of defects which were detectable on inspection and have not been notified to the Seller in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be excluded. In case of any latent defects, the Seller shall, if notice is given by the Buyer of any latent defects within 30 days from delivery or collection, remedy such latent defects at no cost to the Buyer.

 

8.5. The Seller shall, at its discretion, either repair or replace the defective goods.

9.1.

If the Buyer resells before that time: (i) it does so as principal and not as the Seller's agent; and (ii) title to those goods shall pass from the Seller to the Buyer immediately before the time at which resale by the Buyer occurs.

 

9.3. If before title to goods passes to the Buyer the Buyer becomes subject to any of the events listed at Clause 11.2, then, without limiting any other right or remedy the Seller may have, the Buyer's right to resell goods and use them in the ordinary course of its business ceases immediately.

 

9.4. Until such time as the title in the goods passes to the Buyer (and provided the goods are still in existence and have not been resold) the Seller shall be entitled at any time to require the Buyer to deliver up the goods to the Seller and if  the Buyer fails to do so forthwith to enter upon any premises of the Buyer or any third party where the goods are stored and repossess the goods. The Buyer shall not be entitled to pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the goods which remain the property of the Seller but if the Buyer does so all moneys owing by the Buyer to the Seller shall (without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Seller) forthwith become due and payable.

 

9.5. Where the goods have been incorporated by the Buyer into any product or article in such a way that the substance and identity of the goods have been irrevocably altered or destroyed, then title in such new product(s) or article(s) shall immediately upon its or their creation vest wholly in the Seller, and the provisions of Clause 9 shall apply mutadis mutandis to such products or articles as if they were goods with the title remaining with the Seller; provided that this Clause 9.5 shall not apply if the Seller has received in  cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of the goods and all other goods agreed to be sold by the Seller to the   Buyer for which payment is then due. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby declared that the provisions of the preceding sub-clauses shall continue to apply to the goods which have been incorporated by the Buyer into any product or article in such a way that the substance and identity of the goods have not been irrevocably altered or destroyed.

 

9.6. The Buyer shall indemnify the Seller against all loss, damages, costs, expenses and legal fees incurred by the Seller in connection with the assertion and enforcement of the Seller's rights under this Clause 9.

 

9.7. Should the retention of title clause in this Clause 9 be invalid under the law of the country in which the goods are situated, such protection for the Seller as in that country corresponds to the above retention of title clause shall be deemed to have been agreed upon. The Buyer shall take all measures necessary for such protection for Seller to come into effect and/or to be maintained.

 

9.8. Should a more extensive retention of title clause be permitted by the law of the country in which the goods are situated (such as – without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing – the assignment of the Buyer's future claims resulting from the re-sale of the goods delivered by the Seller), the Buyer shall upon Seller's request implement such a clause.

10.4.
