9. Risk and property

In the case of goods to be delivered at the Seller's premises risk of damage to or loss of the goods shall pass to the Buyer at the time when the Seller notifies the Buyer that the goods are available for collection or in the case of goods to be delivered at the Buyers premises at the time of delivery or if the Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the goods the time when the Seller had tendered delivery of the goods. Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the goods the property in the goods both in law and in equity shall not pass to the Buyer until the Seller has received payment of the goods in full in cash or in cleared funds. Until such time as the property in the goods passes to the Buyer the Buyer shall hold the goods as the Seller's fiduciary Agent and Bailee and shall keep the goods separate from those of the Buyer and Third Parties and properly stored, protected, insured, clearly marked and identified as the Seller's property. Should the Buyer resell or otherwise dispose of the goods but not have accounted to the Seller for the price of the goods and all other goods agreed to be sold by the Seller to the Buyer and all other relevant monies it shall keep such proceeds of sale or other disposal that are due and payable to the Seller in a separate bank account and separate from any other monies or property of the Buyer and Third Parties. Until such time as the property in the goods passes to the Buyer the Seller shall be entitled at any time to require the Buyer to deliver up the goods to the Seller and shall have irrevocable licence to enter upon any premises of the Buyer or of any Third Party where the goods are stored and re- posses the goods.

10. Delivery

Delivery of the goods shall be made by the Buyer collecting the goods from the Seller's premises at any time after the Seller has notified the Buyer that the goods are ready for collection or if some other place of delivery is agreed by the Seller delivering the goods to that place. Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only and the Seller shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the goods. Date or time for delivery shall not be of the essence. Where the contract provides for the delivery of the goods by installments each installment shall be deemed to be the subject of a separate contract and non-delivery or delay in delivery of any one or more installments shall not affect the balance of the contract or entitle the Buyer to cancel the same. It is the Buyers responsibility to unload the goods from the vehicle making delivery. If the Sellers driver is obliged to unload the goods without assistance the Sellers reserve the right to charge a reasonable sum for such service.

If the Buyer opts out of signed-for delivery by the buyer, neither APL or their carrier will be responsible for any loss.

11. Liabilities

The Seller shall be under no liability in respect of any defect in the goods or materials arising from any defect in any drawing, design, information or specification supplied by the Buyer. Any claim by the Buyer which is based on any defect in the quality or condition of the goods or their failure to correspond with specification shall be notified to the Seller within 5 days from the date of delivery or in the case of latent defects within a reasonable time after the discovery of the defect and the Seller shall be entitled to replace the goods. Otherwise, in the absence of notification to the Seller in writing of any defect in the goods supplied the Buyer shall be deemed to have examined and accepted the goods in good condition and free from any defects. The seller shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss of whatever nature and the sellers liability will be limited to replacement of product supplied.

12. Property rights etc.

The Buyer shall indemnify the Seller against all claims for infringement or alleged infringement of Third Party patent or other industrial property rights and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith arising from the execution of the Buyers order in accordance with the Buyers designs plans or specifications.

The Seller reserves the right to make any changes in the specification of the goods which do not materially affect their quality or performance.

15. Colours and ink transfer

16. Force majeure
