7.1 Delivery of the Goods shall be made to the address in the UK that the Buyer provides in the Order, or such other address that the Company may agree in writing.

7.2 The Company will deliver the Goods and/or commence the Services on a Working Day convenient to the Company unless the Buyer gives the Company specific instructions in which case the Company may arrange a due date for delivery of the Goods and/or commence the Services. If the Buyer fails for any reason to take delivery of the Goods on the due date re-delivery will take place at the Buyer's cost on an alternative Working Day at the Company's convenience unless the Buyer notifies the Company in writing when the Company may agree on a mutually convenient Working Day.

The Company shall not be liable if the Goods are not delivered and/or the Services are not commenced within thirty (30) days or for any failure to meet any estimated delivery date or for any costs, charges or expenses incurred as a result of any delay. The Buyer will not be entitled to refuse to accept any Goods or the provision of any Services or to cancel the Contract with the Company merely because of such failure.

8.3 If The Buyer is in business the Buyer may offer for sale and sell the Goods, provided the Buyer does so only at the best obtainable price in the ordinary course of the Buyer's business as principal and not as the Company's agent.

8.7 Before signing for the Goods in good condition the Goods and packaging must be checked carefully. If the packaging is damaged, or the Goods appear to be damaged, or any parts missing, the Buyer must inform the Company immediately having made an appropriate note on the carrier's delivery documentation.
