6.1 Once we have accepted your order, we will give you an estimated delivery date. Occasionally our delivery to you may be affected by an Event Outside Our Control. See clause 13 (Events outside our control) for our responsibilities when this happens.
6.2 Delivery is complete once the Goods have been unloaded at the address for delivery set out in your order and the Goods will be at your risk from that time.
6.3 We shall continue to own the Goods and title to the Goods shall not pass to you until the earlier of:
(a) we receive payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for the Goods; and
(b) you resell the Goods, in which case title to the Goods shall pass to you at the time specified in clause 6.5(b).
6.4 Until title to the Goods has passed to you, you shall:
(a) store the Goods separately from all other goods held by you so that they remain readily identifiable as our property;
(b) not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;
(c) maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition and keep them insured against all risks for their full price from the date of delivery;
(d) notify us immediately if you become subject to any of the events listed in clauses 12.1(c) and 12.1(d); and

(i) the Goods; and
(ii) your ongoing financial position.
6.5 Subject to clause 6.6, you may resell the Goods in the ordinary course of your business (but not otherwise) before we receive payment in full for the Goods. However, if you resell the Goods before we receive payment in full:

(b) require you to deliver up all the Goods in your possession that have not been resold and if you fail to do so promptly, enter any of your premises or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them.
6.7 If we fail to deliver the Goods, our liability is limited to the cost of obtaining replacement goods of a similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. However, we will not be liable to the extent that any failure to deliver was caused by an Event Outside Our Control, or because you failed to provide adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of goods.
6.8 If you fail to take delivery of the Goods, we may resell part of, or all the Goods and after deducting any reasonable storage and selling costs, account to you for any excess over the price of the Goods or charge you for any shortfall below the price of the Goods.

However, please see clause 8.5 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of Goods you ordered.
8.2 Prices for our Goods may change from time to time, but changes will not affect any order you have already placed.
8.3 The price of Goods excludes VAT (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being.
