5. DESPATCH DATES

Every effort will be made to adhere to despatch dates quoted. No liability can be accepted for any loss whatsoever caused through non-delivery or delay in delivery of goods ordered or for the non-completion of any contract caused directly or indirectly through any circumstances beyond the Seller’s control, and the Seller shall be the sole judge of whether any circumstance is beyond the Seller’s control or not.

The contract affected will only be completed on payment by the Buyer:

  • Against invoices for goods already supplies.

  • Against the Seller’s pro forma invoice before or at the time of despatch of the goods

Payment will become due on receipt of the Seller’s pro forma invoice. In no circumstances shall the Seller be liable for any consequential loss suffered by the Buyer as a result of the application of this condition nor shall it be a reason for the cancellation by the Buyer of this or any other contract.
