he Seller warrants that the Goods will at the time of delivery (or collection) correspond to the description given by the Seller. All other warranties, conditions or terms relating to the Goods (whether to their quality, condition or fitness for a particular purpose and whether implied by statute or common law or otherwise) are excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law (save for the warranty implied by section 12 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979). If the Goods breach these terms the Seller shall repair or replace them at its option or pay damages as limited below. The Seller excludes liability to the Buyer for consequential and indirect loss, loss of profit (whether direct or indirect), revenue, opportunity, reputation and goodwill. The total and aggregate liability of the Seller under or in connection with these Conditions, whether arising in contract, misrepresentation (whether tortious or statutory), tort (including negligence), breach of statutory duty or otherwise shall not exceed an amount equal to the total Price paid by the Buyer for the Goods. This clause does not limit or exclude any rights or liability not permitted to be so in English law and nothing in these terms excludes or limits the liability of the Seller to the Buyer for death or personal injury caused by negligence nor for fraud nor for any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited by law.

5.1 The Buyer acknowledges that the Publisher (or its licensors) owns all intellectual property rights in and to the Goods. No licence or assignment of the intellectual property rights in and to the Goods is granted to the Buyer under these Conditions.

5.3 The Buyer acknowledges that the Publisher may choose to impose an “On Sale Date” and any other lawful or commercial conditions (as permitted by law) it chooses on the sale of some or all of its Goods and that this information may be communicated to the Buyer by either the Publisher or the Seller. In either case, the Buyer will respect any such instructions, which are a condition of these terms.
5.4 The Buyer acknowledges and accepts that the Publisher may have the right to take action against the Buyer should these instructions be broken and that such action may include an instruction to the Seller to deliver to the Buyer some or all of the Publisher’s future products only on or after their “On Sale Date”.

6.4 For international deliveries, terms are EX WORKS unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Seller.
6.5 The Seller will use its reasonable efforts to deliver on the date requested but this shall not be or imply any legal obligation to deliver on the Delivery Date.
6.6 We may deliver Goods to the Buyer by instalments, which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate Contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Buyer to cancel any other instalment.

7.1 The Buyer must notify any deficiencies (including late delivery or shortfall) in the Goods to the Seller within 48 hours of receipt. If the Buyer fails to do so, the Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods and the Seller shall have no liability to the Buyer in respect of any deficiency or shortfall in such Goods.
7.2 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.

8.1 The property in the Goods shall remain with the Seller until such time as payment in full for all debts owed by the Buyer to the Seller (including the Price, VAT and all accrued interest) shall have been paid by the Buyer to the Seller, whereupon the property in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer. Until such payment the Goods shall be kept separate from other Goods of the Buyer and identified as the Seller's property, and the Buyer shall insure the Goods, take all reasonable care of the Goods and keep them in good and saleable condition.
8.2 Risk in the Goods shall, notwithstanding sub-clause 8.1, pass to the Buyer upon delivery by the Seller to the Buyer, or upon the Seller notifying the Buyer that the Goods are available for collection (as applicable).
8.3 When Goods are delivered to the Buyer prior to payment, the Buyer shall hold the Goods in the capacity of a fiduciary for and on behalf of the Seller until payment and in such capacity and until such time shall remain liable to account to the Seller for the Goods or if the Goods are sold by the Buyer in accordance with the next sub-clause of this clause for that part of the sale proceeds of the sale thereof (“the Seller’s Part of the Proceeds”) which is equivalent to the Price at which the same were invoiced by the Seller to the Buyer.
8.4 The Buyer shall have the right to sell in the normal course of its business any Goods before payment provided that the Buyer shall pay the Seller’s Part of the Proceeds of such a sale into a separate bank account clearly denoted as an account containing monies deposited for the benefit of the Seller by the Buyer acting in a fiduciary capacity.

8.6 The Seller shall be entitled at any time while payment for the Goods or any other debt by the Buyer to the Seller is outstanding to retake possession of such Goods and the Buyer undertakes, at its own cost, to deliver the same to the Seller or its duly appointed authorised agent upon request and the Seller or its duly authorised agent shall have the right during normal business hours to enter upon the land or buildings of the Buyer to take possession of the said Goods.

9.1 Where the Buyer rejects any Goods, the Buyer shall have no further rights whatever in respect of the supply to the Buyer of such Goods or the failure by the Seller to supply Goods which conform to the contract of sale (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 Price of such Goods to the Buyer within 30 days).
9.2 A signature confirming receipt of the Goods or the words “unexamined” or similar words shall be deemed to confirm receipt of the Goods. No responsibility is accepted by the Seller for damages or shortages unless Goods are signed for on the delivery note. A signature on a delivery note will be deemed to be confirmation of the number of cartons received as stated on the delivery note. Damage to outer packaging must be notified to the carrier on receipt. All other damages and shortages must be notified to the Seller within 48 hours of delivery.

The Seller shall be under no liability for any loss (including consequential loss or loss of profit) damage or delay or expenses of any kind whatsoever caused wholly or in part by any act of force majeure which shall include but not be limited to Acts of God, outbreak of war, civil commotion, government policies or restrictions or control including restrictions on export or import or other licences, trade or industrial disputes of whatever nature, whether or not such dispute involves the Seller, its servants or agents, or by any other contingency whatsoever which is beyond the reasonable control of the Seller.

11.2 Each party acknowledges that it does not rely on, and shall have no remedies for, any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in these Conditions.

If any provision or wording of these Conditions is held to be unlawful or unenforceable for any purpose it shall be deemed excluded for that purpose and the rest of these Conditions shall remain in full force and effect.

This contract and any dispute or claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims) arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or formation shall be subject to the laws of England and Wales, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales in respect of any such dispute or claim.
