    Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Place of Delivery shall be the Company’ premises and the Buyer shall take delivery within 7 days of
    the Company notifying the Buyer that the Goods are ready for delivery.

    manufacturer.
    Subject to the other provisions of these Terms, the Company shall not be liable for any loss, whether direct or consequential, economic or
    loss of profits or otherwise, arising directly or indirectly out of any delay in the delivery of the Goods nor will any delay entitle the Buyer to
    terminate or rescind the Contract unless the delay exceeds 60 days.
  4. Risk in and Ownership of the Goods
    Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Buyer on delivery
    Ownership in the Goods shall not pass to the Buyer until the Company has received in full in cleared funds all sums due to the Company in
    respect of the Goods and all other sums which are or may become due to the Company from the Buyer on any account.
    Until ownership of the Goods has passed to the Buyer, the Buyer shall:
    hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as the Company’s bailee;
    store the Goods separately from all other goods of the Buyer or any third party in such a way that they remain identifiable as the
    Company’s property;
    not destroy or deface any identifying mark on the Goods or their packaging;
    maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition insured with the Company’s interest noted on the policy and hold any proceeds of such
    insurance on trust for the Company and not mix them with any other money.
  5. Price
