Any credits offered under these circumstances may be at a reduced price and agreed in writing between the Seller and Purchaser.
6. Risk and Title
6.1 Risk in the goods passes to the Purchaser on delivery, but ownership will not pass until payment of the invoice has been made in full to the Seller.
6.2 Until ownership passes from the Seller to the Purchaser in accordance with the clause above (6.1) the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the goods are held by the Purchaser in a fiduciary capacity as bailee of the Seller. The Purchaser will store the goods in such a manner that they can be readily identified as the property of the Seller. If the goods are incorporated into any other property, ownership of the combined property will pass to the Seller. If the Purchaser sells the goods, including if the goods are incorporated into any other property, the Purchaser will receive and hold the proceeds of the sale in trust for the Seller and immediately account to the Seller for any overdue amount or otherwise pay the proceeds into a separate bank account.
6.3 The Purchaser consents to the Seller, its employees, and authorised agents, entering into or onto any premises where the Seller believes that goods supplied to the Purchaser are stored and taking possession of such goods by way of recovery of any overdue amount, without prejudice to any of the Seller’s other remedies. If the value of goods recovered is less than the overdue amount, due to deterioration of the quality of the goods, the Purchaser will pay the Seller the total overdue amount less the market value of the goods determined by the Seller in its sole discretion.
6.4 The Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that the Seller’s rights under clause 6.2 above constitute a security interest, and all goods supplied by the Seller to the Purchaser are pursuant to the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 (‘the PPSA”), and the Purchaser agrees to the Seller registering its security interest in respect of all goods supplied by the Seller to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall supply the Seller with all necessary identifiers
and other information to enable registration of the Seller’s security interest under the PPSA.
7. Liability/Suitability of Goods
7.1 The Seller warrant that the goods supplied conform to the Product Specification. Any advice, information or recommendation provided by the Seller in relation to the goods is given in good faith but without any liability or responsibility on the part of the Seller.
7.2 The “best before” date is stated on the label attached to the packaging of the goods or the shelf life is recorded in the Product Specification. The Purchaser must ensure that the goods are used or sold by the “best before” date or expiry of the shelf life. No refunds will be given for any goods held by the Purchaser that are no longer required (subject to clause 5.7 above). The Purchaser must also ensure that all goods are stored in an environment so as not to affect the quality of the goods.
7.3 If the Purchaser is not a consumer as defined in the Consumer Guarantees Act (“CGA”) or the Purchaser acquires or holds itself out as acquiring the goods for the purposes of a business, nothing in the CGA will apply to the supply of the goods. Nothing in these terms is intended to have the effect of contracting out of the provisions of the CGA where the CGA applies. Where the CGA applies, these terms are modified accordingly.
7.4 All warranties and guarantees, express or implied by law, statue or otherwise as to the quality or fitness for purpose of any of the goods are excluded to fullest extent permitted by law and no warranty, condition description, or representation, express or implied, is given by the Seller.
7.5 If the Seller is held liable to the Purchaser or any other person, the liability of the Seller shall not exceed the value of replacement goods in relation to which the liability has arisen and the Seller shall have no further liability or responsibility for any direct, indirect, or consequential loss, damage or expense whatsoever and howsoever arising from the supply of the goods and any related advice purported to be given by or on behalf of the Seller.
