use the same and shall not do anything which may lead to the goods being seized by way of distress or any legal process and shall keep the goods comprehensively insured against all risks in their full price and that our
interest as unpaid seller is properly recorded in the policy. Further, at all times whilst goods are in the buyer’s possession but whilst the title remains vested in us, the buyer shall notify us immediately any defect arises in the
condition of the goods and shall at all times allow us access to the goods for purposes of inspection and/or work to the goods and we shall be entitled (but not obliged) to carry out such work and render to the buyer such
charges for such work as may be appropriate.
DELIVERY
Any date or period named by us for delivery is given in good faith as an estimate only. Whilst we will endeavour to despatch within the period stated, such date or period is not to be of the essence of the contract, and the buyer
shall be bound to accept the goods ordered when available. Unless we have specifically given an undertaking in writing with an agreed sum as liquidated damages for late delivery and the buyer has suffered loss due to our
delay, we shall not be liable in any way in respect of late delivery however caused, and in any event any liability shall be strictly limited to the liquidated sum so specified. Customers within some remote rural areas should note that
delivery times may be extended by up to 5 working days, or in some instances not be available. Scottish deliveries are sometimes restricted and deliveries to the following postcodes are subject to additional costs and in some
cases not available at all: KW, IV, AB, DD, PH, PA. The various islands around the British Isles are also subject to similar restrictions and additional costs. Please contact Carisa Radiators to confirm costs at time of ordering.

contract with regard to any instalments remaining to be delivered.It is our responsibility to load vehicles with goods at our works. Subject to the size and weight of the goods supplied, we will deliver to the nearest hard standing
provided safe access is available. Where specification of the goods prevents us from carrying out delivery as outlined above, the buyer is responsible for all necessary material handling arrangements and carrying out the safe
offloading of the goods. Any damage sustained during this offloading is the responsibility of the buyer. Transportation from the hard standing unloading area thereafter is wholly the responsibility of the buyer.
If, having given to the buyer notice that the goods or any part of them are ready for despatch, and a delivery date has been agreed between the buyer and the company, we reserve the right to charge for
storage in the event of this delivery date being cancelled by the buyer. Furthermore, if we do not receive forwarding instructions to enable us to despatch within 14 days from the date thereof, the
buyer shall take delivery or arrange for storage of the goods, failing which we shall be entitled to store the goods at the buyer’s risk and expense, and our invoice for the goods will become immediately
due for payment.Where the price includes delivery, we shall repair or replace free of charge goods damaged in transit, or any shortages, provided the buyer sends written notification within 3 days.
Where the price does not include delivery – and carriage is provided by the buyer – the buyer shall be responsible for any loss or damage in transit.Carriage or postage on spare parts will be prepaid and
charged in full to the buyer. Where express delivery is requested by the buyer all additional costs will be charged in full to the buyer.The buyer shall inspect the goods immediately on delivery thereof and
within 3 days after delivery give notice to us in writing, of any matter or reason whereof, the buyer may allege that the goods are not in accordance with the contract. If the buyer fails to give such notice
the goods shall be deemed to be in all respects in accordance with the contract and the buyer shall accept and pay for the same accordingly. Any claims made by the buyer against us under the terms
and conditions of our warranty (below) must be substantiated to our satisfaction and we may refuse to replace repair or credit in respect of any alleged faulty part until sufficient evidence of the validity
of the claim has been presented.Where delivery is fixed by instalments, such instalments deliverable under the contract shall be deemed to be sold under separate contracts. Defective deliveries of one
or more instalments shall not entitle the buyer to repudiate the contract with regard to any instalments remaining to be delivered.It is our responsibility to load vehicles with goods at our works. Subject to
the size and weight of the goods supplied, we will deliver to the nearest hard standing provided safe access is available. Where specification of the goods prevents us from carrying out delivery as outlined

buyer. Transportation from the hard standing unloading area thereafter is wholly the responsibility of the buyer.
