terminate in the event that continued use or possession of the Software by the Buyer infringes rights of the
developer or of a third party or if THE COMPANY is forced so to do by law or if the Buyer is in breach of contract. In
the event of such exceptional termination, the Buyer shall cease all further use of Software and will certify in
writing to THE COMPANY that to the best of its knowledge the original and all copies of the Software have been
(at the option of THE COMPANY) either returned to THE COMPANY or destroyed.
8. APPLICATION
Unless specifically agreed in writing and authorised by a Director of THE COMPANY these Conditions shall
supersede all Terms and Conditions of the Buyer. These Conditions shall constitute the entire understanding
between the parties and (for the avoidance of doubt) acceptance of deliveries of the Goods hereunder shall
constitute acceptance by the Buyer of these Conditions. No liability shall attach to THE COMPANY its agents or
employees in respect of any representations made or advice given with regard to Goods to be supplied unless
confirmed in writing and signed by a Director of THE COMPANY.
9. CANCELLATION OR RESCHEDULING
If Buyer cancels an order for Goods (or re-schedules and subsequently cancels) then the Buyer may be charged a
cancellation charge of 15% of the Goods price. The Buyer agrees that such charge amounts to a genuine preestimate of the losses suffered by THE COMPANY on such cancellation. Rescheduling of deliveries will only be
considered by THE COMPANY if made at least 48 hrs (2 working days) before dispatch.
10. PRICE
10.1 Catalogues, price lists and other advertising literature or materials as used by the Company are intended
only as an indication as to price and range of Goods offered and no prices, descriptions or other particulars shall
be binding on the Company.
10.2 All prices are given by the Company at the time of the order on an ex-works basis and unless otherwise
agreed the Buyer is liable to pay for the cost of delivery. The Company may by giving notice to the Buyer at any
time before the delivery increase the price of the Goods to reflect an increase in the cost to the Company.
10.3 All prices quoted are valid for 7 days unless otherwise specified. Discounts, special offers, promotions and
other offerings are available at the discretion of the company and can be withdrawn at any time without penalty.
If a product, service or special price available at the time of quoting, subsequently becomes unavailable, the
quotation will become void, even if within the 7 day validity period.

Bank of England base rate ruling from time to time on any payment or any part payment overdue calculated from

any Goods proved to THE COMPANY’S satisfaction to have been lost or damaged in transit.
14. ACCEPTANCE OF GOODS AND SERVICES

and an Acceptance Form signed by the Buyer and THE COMPANY will be sufficient to establish acceptance.
