attempts
or purports to introduce by whatever means
1.3 All

in entering into a Supply Contract unless their accuracy is first confirmed
in writing
by 12GoDigital BV. No representation warranty guarantee agreement or other

accordance

2. Orders
and specifications
2.1 There
shall be no binding Supply Contract between the purchaser and 12GoDigital BV
until 12GoDigital BV has confirmed in writing its acceptance of
any order for goods and/or services placed by the purchaser or confirmed in
writing any quotation estimate or
tender for
goods and/or services submitted by 12GoDigital BV which has been accepted
by the purchaser. Immediate delivery of the Goods shall constitute 12GoDigital BV
confirmation for the purposes of creating a binding Supply Contract. 12GoDigital BV
may
waive the
requirement for any such written confirmation at any time and without
notifying
the purchaser.
2.2 No
order placed by the purchaser may be cancelled and no acceptance by the
purchaser
of a quotation estimate or tender submitted by 12GoDigital BV may be
withdrawn
without the specific written agreement of 12GoDigital BV who may (if it has
not
already
done so) accept such order or confirm such quotation estimate or tender and
thereby
create a binding Supply Contract.
2.3 Unless
12GoDigital BV expressly agrees otherwise in writing the purchaser cannot
cancel or withdraw from a Supply Contract. If 12GoDigital BV agrees to any
such cancellation or withdrawal (or if the purchaser otherwise wrongfully
refuses to honour a Supply

losses
(including
loss of profit) costs (including the cost of all labour used and materials
used or
procured for the purposes of the Supply Contract) damages charges

of any such
cancellation or withdrawal or wrongful refusal.

exceeded or will (as a result of the Supply Contract in question or of any other
event or
circumstance) exceed its authorised credit limit with 12GoDigital BV.
2.5 The
purchaser must ensure the accuracy of an order for Goods before it is placed and
provide
12GoDigital BV promptly with all information which may be necessary to
enable

to fulfill its obligations under a Supply Contract and in particular
to enable
delivery
of the Goods to take place. If there is a dispute over the terms of an order
placed
verbally and not subsequently confirmed in writing by the purchaser then
the
quality quantity and specification of the Goods which are the subject of the
disputed
order will be as set out in 12GoDigital BV’ despatch note.
2.6 12GoDigital BV may make changes to the specification of Goods which do not
materially affect their quality performance or operation or which are required
to make them
conform to
any applicable legal or safety requirements without referring to the
purchaser.
3. Prices
3.1 The
price to be paid by the purchaser for the Goods is the price specified by 12GoDigital BV in any quotation tender or estimate for the Goods submitted by
12GoDigital BV and accepted by the purchaser or (if there is no such
quotation tender or estimate) the price for the Goods as specified in 12GoDigital BV
’ price list current at the date of delivery of the Goods.

expressly stated otherwise in writing by 12GoDigital BV, all prices are
ex-works, and exclusive of carriage packaging delivery insurance value added tax

or other
tax which may be payable in respect of the Goods all of which if applicable
to the
Supply Contract in question will be payable by the purchaser in addition to
the price
of the Goods.
3.3 12GoDigital BV reserves the right to apply a small order charge at its
discretion. The amount of this charge may vary from time to time, but it will be
communicated to the
purchaser
prior to a Supply Contract coming into existence.
4. Delivery
4.1 Unless
specifically agreed otherwise in writing, time will not be of the essence in
respect of
delivery dates, all of which are estimated dates only. 12GoDigital BV will
endeavour
to meet any estimated delivery date(s) but will not be liable to the
purchaser
or be deemed to be in breach of contract if (having used reasonable
endeavours)
it is unable to meet any estimated delivery date(s). The Goods may be

the Goods are to be
collected
by the purchaser, they must be collected within one working day after the
date
agreed for collection (time being of the essence for collection)

the Goods are to be delivered in instalments each delivery shall constitute a
separate
contract and failure by 12GoDigital BV to deliver any one or more
instalments in
accordance
with these conditions or any claim by the purchaser in respect of any one or
more instalments shall not entitle the purchaser to treat the whole Supply
Contract as repudiated

purchaser fails to take delivery of the Goods (and such failure shall include
any
failure by
the purchaser to collect the Goods from 12GoDigital BV’ premises within one
working
day after the date agreed for collection by the purchaser) or fails to give
12GoDigital BV
sufficient instructions to enable delivery to take place then 12GoDigital BV may:
4.4.1

purchaser
for the cost of storage, transport, insurance and any other expenses which
12GoDigital BV
incurs as a result of any such delay in delivery or;

the Goods at such price as is then reasonably obtainable and (after deducting
all
storage selling and other expenses as mentioned above) account to the

the purchaser any shortfall between the price payable by the purchaser
for the

foreseeable losses costs charges or expenses suffered or incurred by 12GoDigital BV
as a result of the purchaser’s breach of contract or;

be correct and the purchaser will not be entitled to reject the Goods

the Goods have been delivered by 12GoDigital BV at its own risk to any
agreed or usual place for delivery to the purchaser and have been damaged whilst
in transit then
the
purchaser must notify 12GoDigital BV in writing within twenty-four hours of
delivery (if
such
damage was apparent at delivery) or within seven days (or such longer or shorter
period as would be reasonable in the circumstances) of delivery (if such damage
was not apparent on delivery but would have become apparent if the Goods had
been checked by the purchaser as soon as possible).
4.5.3 If
the Goods have been collected by the purchaser from 12GoDigital BV’
premises any damage to the Goods which would be apparent at the time of
collection is to be
notified
to 12GoDigital BV immediately upon collection and any damage to the Goods
which
existed before but would not have been apparent upon an inspection carried
out prior
to collection must be notified in writing by the purchaser to 12GoDigital BV
within
