They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.

    2. (b)  be free from material defects in design, material and workmanship.
  3. 3.3  Subject to clause 3.4, if:
    1. (a)  the Customer gives notice in writing during the warranty period within a reasonable time of discovery that some or all of the Products do not comply with the warranty set out in clause 3.2;

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause, if the Order Form stipulates a fixed date for delivery the Customer shall be entitled to a compensation (by way of liquidated damages) payment equating to 0.5% of the value of the of the Products per week of delay subject to a maximum payment of 5%. If the Supplier has not delivered the Products by the end of the tenth week of the delay the Customer shall be entitled to terminate the Contract and recover any sums due. The compensation and recovery of sums paid set out in this clause 4.4 represents the Supplier’s entire liability for delay.
  5. 4.5  Where the Order Confirmation provides that the Supplier is responsible for arranging transit of the Products to the Delivery Location, the Customer must check the Products upon receipt and report any damage, loss or unsatisfactory condition on the enclosed Delivery Note. The Supplier shall, at its discretion, repair or replace free of charge any Products damaged or lost in transit, provided that the carriers and the Supplier receive written notice of such damage or loss within two days of delivery (or such other period as may be specified on the Delivery Note).
