(b)     Goods must be paid for within 30 days of the date of invoice.

(c)     The Buyer must clearly identify to which invoice and/or credit note any settlement relates to.  If the Buyer fails to do this then the Seller may, at its discretion, treat the settlement as if it had not been made or as a settlement of the Buyer’s oldest invoice.

(d)    If the Buyer fails to serve notice disputing any invoice within the period stated in paragraph (b), the Buyer will pay such invoice within the period stated in the Conditions of Sale.

(c)     Time for payment shall be of the essence.

(ii)     appropriate any payment made by the Buyer to such of the goods (or the goods supplied under any other contract between the Buyer and the Seller) as the Seller may think fit (notwithstanding any purported appropriation by the Buyer);

(d)    If goods are contracted to be delivered by instalments, late delivery of one instalment shall not entitle the Buyer to reject any other instalment under the same contract.

A delivery note signed by the Buyer or its agent is conclusive proof of correct delivery. Claims in respect of short deliveries, discrepancies or damage to goods in transit must be notified by the Buyer to the Seller in writing within 3 working days of receipt of the goods. No claim can be made outside this time period.

(f)      The content of the Seller’s invoice including the price for the goods, description of goods and delivery charges shall, in the absence of manifest error, be deemed to have been accepted by the Buyer as correct unless the Buyer notifies the Seller’s Customer Services department within 14 days of the date of the Seller’s invoice.
