into account so far as it is reasonably practicable delivery dates requested by you. In any event we may at our option elect to effect partial delivery of any products unless otherwise agreed with you to
the contrary.

you fail to take delivery of the products, then we may at our sole option and without prejudice to any of our other rights or remedies effect delivery of the products by whatever means we think most
appropriate, at your risk and expense.
3.4 A schedule of standard and special delivery methods, including the related delivery charges, is available on request. The delivery charges are exclusive of VAT. A standard delivery charge is
applied per order provided the method of despatch is determined by us. Additional costs arising from special requirements are subject to additional charges which, on request, are available in

examination. In this case we shall, at our discretion, replace the products or, if this is not possible, refund the purchase price. In any event you must refuse delivery of goods delivered to you, in a
damaged condition.

the price of the undelivered products.

accepted the products accordingly.

accordance with the order. Where we owe sums to you, we can refund by way of credit note. We shall not be liable for any losses, consequential or otherwise, arising from non-delivery or late
