4.1.2 for an indefinite period terminable by either side on three months notice.

4.4 If you change a forecast or change a firm order under a Blanket Contract, then we shall take reasonable steps to mitigate any loss which we might suffer.

6.4 that taxes, duties or other levies have increased the cost of the Goods or Services which we agree to supply;

VII. SPECIFICATION

7.1 We undertake that the Goods or Services supplied conform with the Specification.

7.2 However, unless specific tolerances and permitted shortages are specified in the specification, we shall be permitted to supply goods and services with such tolerances and shortages as may be reasonable in all the circumstances. Also, in respect of any materials or components supplied by you, we shall be entitled to reasonable wastage in respect of such materials and components.

7.3 We may unless the contrary is expressly stated in the Specification substitute any materials with others of a similar standard.

7.4 We warrant that all Goods sold are of satisfactory quality within the meaning of the Sale of Goods Act 1979 as amended and that all Services provided by us will be carried out with reasonable care and skill.

7.5 However, we shall be under no liability under this warranty in respect of any defect in the Goods or Services arising from any drawing design or specification supplied by you or any defect in goods or materials supplied by you.

7.6 You are responsible for the Specification which, without prejudice to the generality of the forgoing, shall include suitability for purpose, designs, drawings, technical data, its accuracy and for ensuring that it does not infringe any patents, design rights, copyrights or other intellectual property rights.

7.7 If you are supplying any materials or components:

7.7.1 for incorporation into Goods; or

7.7.2 which are ancillary to the provision of the Services; or

7.7.3 where any such materials or components are being procured from your nominated supplier whether on a free issue basis or otherwise, then you must also accept responsibility for the Specification, suitability and quality of all such materials and components.

7.8 You shall reimburse us with a sum equal to the cost of procuring materials or components required to supply during the period covered by the forecast whether or not those materials or components were acquired from your nominated supplier or otherwise should you inform us that those materials or components no longer be used for incorporation into Goods or ancillary to the provision of Services.

7.9 You are also responsible for ensuring that the Specification complies with all relevant laws and regulations, including legislative provisions of the European Union.

7.10 We shall accept responsibility for that part of the Specification we provide (if any).

7.11 We shall afford you an opportunity to inspect our production facilities subject to prior appointment. You agree not to use any information acquired by you in the course of such inspection save bona fide in connection with the supply of Goods or Services by us to you.

VIII. DELIVERY AND INSPECTION

8.1 The timely delivery of any materials or components being supplied either by you or your nominated supplier shall be your responsibility.

8.2 We will use our reasonable endeavours to deliver Goods or Services to the place agreed and at the time agreed unless it has been agreed that you will be responsible for collection of Goods in which case they may be collected from the agreed point of collection. Save as aforesaid, time shall not be of the essence in respect of any delivery of Goods by us or supply of Services by us.

8.3 You shall endeavour to inspect the Goods or Services as soon as reasonably possible after delivery.

8.4 You agree to give us a reasonable opportunity to inspect any Goods supplied under this contract in respect of which you claim any defect or shortage.

We shall be given reasonable opportunity to carry out all tests and take all such copies, photographs and samples as we may reasonably require.

8.5 You agree to notify us in writing within 14 days of all claims in respect of defects in or shortages of any Goods or Services supplied under this contract where such defects or shortages were or would have been reasonably apparent on inspection.

8.6 We cannot accept any liability if Goods or Services have been altered, modified or have deteriorated whilst in your possession. Neither can we accept liability for Goods which have been subject to abnormal use, misuse or neglect.

8.8 If we request it, all packaging or packing materials must be returned to us or our nominated agent.

8.10 Where you are collecting Goods, for health and safety reasons, our employees are not obliged to assist in the loading of Goods.

8.11 Where we agree to deliver Goods by instalments, a failure to make any particular delivery on time or at all shall not be a repudiatory breach of the whole contract.

IX. OUR LIABILITIES

9.1 Nothing in this clause restricts our liability for death or personal injury resulting from our negligence or the negligence of our employees, servants or agents.

9.2 (Apart from our liability under clause 9.1) our liability to you for any claim or claims made by you shall not exceed ten times the amount of the invoice or invoices from us to you in respect of the particular Goods or Services the subject of your claim or claims, or £100,000 (whichever is the smaller). However if the amount of our invoice or invoices to you is less then £250, our liability shall be limited to £2,500 instead of ten times the amount of the invoice.

9.3 If you think that any claim made by you against us may involve a claim for consequential loss, you must on or before the making of this contract give us details in writing of the nature and probable size of such possible claims for consequential loss, so that appropriate limitations on our liability may be agreed if necessary. You agree that if you do not give us such details in writing you will waive any claim against us for any consequential losses, of the nature and probable size of which you have not given us details.

9.4 You acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to negotiate a different limitation on our liability if you wish. You agree that the limitations on liability in this clause are fair and reasonable.

9.5 If any limitation of liability in this clause (or any other clause limiting liability made pursuant to clause 2.3) be governed by the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and if in all the circumstances of the particular case that limitation of that limitation of liability fail to satisfy the requirement of reasonableness in that Act, then you agree that our liability shall be restricted to the smallest sum which in all the circumstances of the particular case does satisfy the requirement of reasonableness in that Act.

X. YOUR INDEMNITY

10.1 You will indemnify us in respect of any claims, actions, costs, damage, expense and losses arising directly or as a consequence of a breach by you under this contract which shall include, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing and subject to the special provisions of clause 4 in relation to Blanket Contract,

10.1.1 any defect in the Specification provided by you; and

10.1.2 any defects in materials or components supplied either by you direct or procured from your nominated supplier whether on a free issue basis or otherwise.

XI. PASSING OF RISK AND TITLE

11.1 Risk shall pass on delivery.

11.2 Where Goods supplied to you are made solely out of materials or components supplied by you, you acknowledge that we have a contractual lien over such Goods until we receive payment in full for work undertaken by us in respect of those Goods. In case any lien is not satisfied within a reasonable time from the date upon which we first gave you notice of the exercise of our lien the Goods may be sold and the proceeds of sale applied in or towards satisfaction of every such lien and all proper charges and expenses in relation thereto and we will account to you for any surplus but you must account to us for any deficit.

11.3 Property in the Goods supplied by us shall not pass until we have received payment by cash or cleared funds of all outstanding invoices whether due or not due.

11.4 If you sell the Goods supplied by us before property has passed to you, pursuant to section 25 of the Sales of Goods Act 1979 you are able to give good title for those Goods to your sub buyer. In this case, however, you must keep the proceeds of such a sub-sale on trust for us.

XII.TERM AND TERMINATION

12.1 These provisions are in addition to any other right to terminate the contract for breach of any obligation.

12.2.5 passes a resolution to wind up (other than for the purposes of a solvent amalgamation or reconstruction).

12.3 In the event of termination under clause 12.2 or termination for repudiatory breach:

12.3.1 You shall pay to us all sums outstanding for the supply of Goods or Services as at the date of termination whether or not the same have been delivered or collected.

12.3.2 You shall reimburse us with a sum equal to the cost of procuring materials or components required to supply during the period covered by the forecast whether or not those materials or components were acquired from your nominated supplier or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, such reimbursement shall include any cancellation fees or other penalty payments made to suppliers.

12.3.3 Subject to prior receipt of the sums referred to in sub clause

12.3.1 and 12.3.2, you shall at your cost arrange for the collection of all outstanding Goods, materials and components within 7 days of the date of termination. If you shall not arrange such collection, then without further reference to you we may at our option dispose of such items in any manner we think fit provided that doing so shall not prejudice our right to pursue you for all outstanding sums.

Nor shall The Mobility Outlet be in repudiatory breach of this contract by reason of any such prevention, hindrance or delay.

XVI. WAIVER

Any waiver by either party of any breach of any of the terms of this contract by the other shall not be construed as a waiver of any earlier or later default of a similar nature.
