CONDITIONS OF SALE ("CONDITIONS")

3.2 These Conditions apply to all the Company's sales and any variation to these Conditions and any representations about the Goods shall have no effect unless expressly agreed in writing by the Company. The Buyer hereby acknowledges that no reliance has been placed on any such representations for which provision has not been made expressly in writing.

3.4 No order placed by the Buyer shall be accepted or deemed to be accepted by the Company until a written acceptance of order is issued by the Company or (if earlier) the Company delivers the Goods to the Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt an order confirmation or acknowledgement issued by the Company is not an acceptance of the Buyer's offer but merely confirmation of the contents of such offer and the Company reserves the right to decide whether to accept such offer in accordance with this clause. 
3.5 The Buyer must ensure that the contents of its order are complete and accurate. 
3.6 The Company reserves the right to treat each order accepted by the Company as a separate contract and the Company reserves the right to deliver the Goods by instalments. Where Goods are delivered by instalments the Company reserves the right to treat each instalment as a separate contract.

For the purposes of this condition only, the due date shall be the date of actual delivery or such date as the Company has communicated to the Buyer whether in writing or orally that it has the Goods in stock.
