Conditions are supplementary to the Terms and Conditions and where a conflict
occurs the Terms and Conditions shall take precedence.

custom, practice or course of dealing. The Customer is responsible for ensuring
that the terms of the order and any applicable specification submitted by the Customer

samples, drawings, descriptive matter or advertising produced by the Supplier
and any descriptions or illustrations contained in the Supplier's catalogues or
brochures are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of
the Goods referred to in them.
DELIVERY, TITLE AND QUALITY

Goods are ready. Delivery is completed on the completion of loading of the
Goods at McKennas Yard or unloading if delivered.
1.5 Quotations
are valid for 14 days, subject to stock availability. Any dates quoted for

adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to
the supply of the Goods.

make a pro rata adjustment to the invoice for the Goods.
1.7 The

any other instalment.

Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the earlier of: (a) the Supplier
receives payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods; and (b) the

occurs.

before title to the Goods passes to the Customer, the Supplier may: (a) by
notice in writing, terminate the Customer's right to resell the Goods or use
them in the ordinary course of its business; and (b) 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.
1.11 The
Supplier warrants that on delivery the Goods shall conform in all material
respects with their description and any applicable specification and be free
from material defects in design, material and workmanship. If the Customer
gives notice in writing to the Supplier within 3 days of delivery or the
earliest possible date of discovery that some or all of the Goods are damaged
or defective the Supplier shall take such action as is set out in the Terms and
Conditions.

to the receipt of a valid VAT invoice.
