5.2 The Seller may, by giving notice to the Buyer at any time before Delivery, increase the Price to reflect:

6 DELIVERY / COLLECTION OF THE GOODS
6.1 Subject to clause 14.1 and the Buyer’s compliance with clause 5, the Seller shall use reasonable efforts to deliver the Goods to the Delivery Location on the Delivery Date in accordance with the Seller’s usual delivery procedures. “Delivery” is achieved on the completion of unloading (or loading in the case of agreed collection) the Goods at the Delivery Location.
6.2 The Buyer agrees that time is not of the essence for Delivery and nothing in these Conditions shall create or imply any legal obligation to deliver (or allow collection) on the Delivery Date.
6.3 The Buyer shall confirm the Delivery Location, provide the Seller with adequate delivery instructions, and shall make any arrangements necessary for the successful acceptance of delivery or collection of the Goods (as applicable) on the Delivery Date at the Delivery Location.
6.4 For international deliveries (including to the European Union/European Economic Area) terms are EX WORKS (Incoterms® Rules 2020) from the Seller’s nominated warehouse, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
6.5 The Seller may use instalments for the Order, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately, and each instalment shall constitute a separate Contract. Any delay, unavailability or defect in an instalment of the Order shall not entitle the Buyer to cancel any other instalment of the Order (or any other orders).
6.6 If the Seller fails to achieve Delivery, its liability shall be limited to the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the Price. The Seller shall have no liability for any failure to deliver the Goods to the extent it is caused by:
6.6.1 a Force Majeure Event; or
6.6.2 the Buyer’s failure to comply with clause 6.3 (in which case the Buyer shall pay the Seller’s reasonable associated logistics, storage and insurance charges).
7 ACCEPTANCE OF THE GOODS
7.1 A signature confirming receipt of the Goods or the words “unexamined” or similar shall be deemed to confirm receipt of the Goods and the number of units stated on the delivery note.
7.2 No responsibility is accepted by the Seller for damages or shortages unless Goods are signed for on the delivery note.
7.3 The Buyer must notify the Seller of any issues or deficiencies in the Goods (including late delivery, damage, excess or shortfall) within 48 hours of Delivery.

7.4 Where the Buyer rejects any of the Goods, the Buyer shall have no further rights in respect of the supply of such Goods or the failure by the Seller to supply Goods which conform to the Contract (save that where such rejection was due to a deficiency in the Goods and the Buyer has paid the Seller for such Goods in advance, the Seller shall refund the Payment to the Buyer within 30 days).
7.5 The Goods are not supplied to the Buyer on a ‘sale or return’ basis or on a ‘consignment sale’ basis and nothing contained within these Conditions shall be construed to indicate otherwise.
8 TITLE AND RISK

8.2 Risk in the Goods shall, notwithstanding clause 8.1, pass to the Buyer upon Delivery to the Delivery Location and the Buyer shall insure the Goods and keep them in good and saleable condition.
8.3 If Goods are Delivered prior to Payment, the Buyer shall hold the Goods in a fiduciary capacity for the Seller until Payment and shall remain liable to account to the Seller for the Goods or, if the Goods are sold by the Buyer in accordance with clause 8.4, for that part of the sale proceeds which is equivalent to the Payment (“the Seller’s Part of the Proceeds”).
8.4 The Buyer shall have the right to sell the Goods before Payment in the normal course of its business and the right to pass title to such sub-buyers, provided the Buyer pays the Seller’s Part of the Proceeds into a separate bank account clearly denoted as containing monies deposited for the benefit of the Seller by the Buyer acting in a fiduciary capacity.
8.5 The Seller shall be entitled at any time while Payment (or any other sum owed by the Buyer to the Seller under any other contract) is outstanding to retake possession of the Goods and the Buyer undertakes, at its own cost, to deliver the same to the Seller or its agent upon request and/or the Seller or its agent shall have the right during normal business hours to enter the land and buildings of the Buyer or its agent to retake possession of such Goods.
