If agreed by the Company in writing (and signed by a duly authorised officer of the Company) these Conditions may be varied in an Order. In the event of a conflict between these Conditions and an Order, the terms of the Order shall take precedence but only to the extent that such term is unambiguously and expressly stated to vary these Conditions.
b) All Orders shall be deemed to be an offer and shall only be deemed accepted by the Company upon the earlier of the issue of a written acknowledgement of order by the Company or delivery of the Work.
c) The Company may modify the specification of Goods or Services without notice provided that such modification does not materially affect the Services or the performance of the Goods. The Contract is not a contract for sale of goods by description. All descriptive matter, specifications and advertising issued by the Company from time to time is solely aimed at giving an approximate idea of the Work described in them and will not form part of the Contract.
d) Any Order accepted by the Company may only be cancelled by the Buyer with the prior written consent of the Company and on terms that the Buyer shall indemnify the Company in full against all losses (including loss of profit), costs, damages, charges and expenses incurred (directly or indirectly) by the Company as a result of such cancellation.

Deliveries of further instalments and performance of further sections may be withheld until the Goods and/or Services comprised in earlier instalments and/or sections have been paid for in full.

f) If the Company agrees to permit the Buyer to collect the Goods from the Company's place of business then delivery shall be deemed to take place when the Company notifies the Buyer that the Goods are ready for collection and unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company it is a condition of the Contract that the Buyer will collect the Goods within 7 days of such notice.

Subject to such notice being provided the Company shall, if it is satisfied that any Goods have not been delivered and it is not result of force majeure (as described in clause 8), at its sole discretion, either arrange for delivery as soon as reasonably possible or give to the Buyer a credit which is a proportion of the Contract price relating to the non-delivered or shortfall of Goods.

d) Until title to the Goods passes, the Buyer shall still be entitled to re-sell, use or otherwise dispose of the Goods in the ordinary course of its business provided that the Buyer shall ensure that the entire proceeds arising by virtue of any such sale, use or disposal shall be held in trust for the Company and shall not be mixed with any other monies or paid into any other overdrawn bank account and shall at all times be identifiable as monies belonging to the Company.
