4.2 The Seller reserves the right, by giving notice to the Buyer at any time before delivery, to increase the price of the Goods or Services to reflect any increase in the cost to the Seller which is due to any factor beyond the control of the Seller (such as, without limitation, any foreign exchange fluctuation, currency regulation, alteration of duties, significant increase in the costs of labour, materials or other costs of manufacture), any change in delivery dates, quantities or specifications for the Goods which is requested by the Buyer, or any delay caused by any instructions of the Buyer or failure of the Buyer to give the Seller adequate information or instructions.

4.3 Except as otherwise stated under the terms of any quotation or in any price list of the Seller, and unless otherwise agreed in Writing between the Buyer and the Seller, all prices are given by the Seller on an ex works basis, and where the Seller agrees to deliver the Goods otherwise than at the Seller’s premises, the Buyer shall be liable to pay the Seller’s charges for transport, packaging and insurance.

4.4 The price is exclusive of any applicable value added tax, which the Buyer shall be additionally liable to pay to the Seller.

5.1 Notwithstanding any special terms agreed in Writing between the Buyer and the Seller, the Seller shall be entitled to invoice the Buyer for the price of the Goods on or at any time after delivery or part delivery (including time related) where relevant of the Goods or Services, unless the Goods are to be collected by the Buyer or the Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Goods or Services, in which event the Seller shall be entitled to invoice the Buyer for the price at any time after the Seller has notified the Buyer that the Goods or Services are ready for collection or (as the case may be) the Seller has tendered delivery of the Goods or Services. Where the delivery of goods or the Provision of Services extends over a period of time, the Seller will be entitled to issue multiple invoices in advance or in arrears of the completion of such services. The seller may issue invoices that predate the issuing of a report.

5.2 The Buyer shall pay the price of the Goods (less any discount to which the Buyer is entitled, but without any other deduction) within 30 days of the date of the Seller’s invoice, and the Seller shall be entitled to recover the price, notwithstanding that delivery may not have taken place and the property in the Goods has not passed to the Buyer. The time of payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract. Receipts for payment will be issued only upon request.

5.3 If the Buyer fails to make any payment on the due date then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller shall be entitled to:

5.3.1 Cancel the contract or suspend any further deliveries to the Buyer;

5.3.3 charge the Buyer interest (both before and after any judgment) on the amount unpaid, at the rate of 2 per cent per annum above Bank base rate from time to time, until payment in full is made (a part of a month being treated as a full month for the purpose of calculating interest).

6. Delivery

6.1 Delivery of the Goods or Services shall be made by the Seller delivering test results by soft copy on email (or in hard copy by post, facsimile etc., if agreed) or by the Buyer collecting the Goods at 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 for delivery is agreed by the Seller, by the Seller delivering the Goods to that place.

6.2 Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods or Services are approximate only and the Seller shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods or Services however caused. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence of the Contract unless previously agreed by the Seller in writing. The Goods or Services may be delivered by the Seller in advance of the quoted delivery date upon giving reasonable notice to the Buyer.

6.3 Where the Goods or Services are to be delivered or provided in installments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by the Seller to deliver any one or more of the installments in accordance with these Conditions or any claim by the Buyer in respect of any one or more installments shall not entitle the Buyer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.

6.4 If the Seller fails to deliver the Goods and or Services (or any installment) for any reason other than any cause beyond the Seller’s reasonable control or the Buyer’s fault and the Seller is accordingly liable to the Buyer, the Seller’s liability shall be limited to the excess (if any) of the cost to the Buyer (in the cheapest available market) of similar Goods and Services to replace those not delivered over the price of the Goods and Services.

6.5 If the Buyer fails to take delivery of the Goods and Services or fails to give the Seller adequate delivery instructions at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond the Buyer’s reasonable control or by reason of the Seller’s fault) then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller may:

6.5.1 store the Goods until actual delivery and charge the Buyer for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage; or

6.5.2 sell the Goods and or Services at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to the Buyer for the excess over the price under the Contract or charge the Buyer for any shortfall below the price under the Contract.

7. Risk and property

7.1 Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Buyer:

7.1.2 in the case of Goods and Services to be delivered otherwise than at the Seller’s premises, at the time of delivery or, if the Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Goods and Services, the time when the Seller has tendered delivery of the Goods and Services.

7.2 Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the Goods and Services, or any other provision of these Conditions, the property in the Goods and Services shall not pass to the Buyer until the Seller has received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of the Goods and Services and all other Goods and Services agreed to be sold by the Seller to the Buyer for which payment is then due.

7.3 Until such time as the property in the Goods and Services passes to the Buyer, the Buyer shall hold the Goods and Services as the Seller’s fiduciary agent and bailee, and shall keep the Goods and Services separate from those of the Buyer and third parties and properly stored, protected and insured and identified as the Seller’s property, but shall be entitled to resell or use the Goods and Services in the ordinary course of its business.

7.4 Until such time as the property in the Goods and Services passes to the Buyer (and provided the Goods and Services are still in existence and have not been resold), the Seller shall be entitled at any time to require the Buyer to deliver up the Goods and Services to the Seller and, if the Buyer fails to do so forthwith, to enter upon any premises of the Buyer or any third party where the Goods and Services are stored and repossess the Goods and Services.

7.5 The Buyer shall not be entitled to pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Goods and Services which remain the property of the Seller, but if the Buyer does so all moneys owing by the Buyer to the Seller shall (without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Seller) forthwith become due and payable.
