The Buyer shall notify the Supplier that it is, or may become, delisted without undue delay upon becoming aware that it is, or may become, delisted. The Buyer agrees and understands that the Supplier shall not incur any liability for any losses (whether direct, indirect or consequential) as a result of the termination of a Contract under this clause 3 and that any such termination of a Contract shall not affect the Supplier’s right to be paid for Goods delivered prior to such termination.

2.5               Any samples, sales literature, drawings, illustrations or brochures are produced for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods referred to in them and do not form part of the Contract.

                 3.5.1    any factor beyond the Supplier's control (including unforeseen foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties, and increases in labour, materials and                       other manufacturing costs);

                3.5.2    any request by the Buyer to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered, or the Specification; or

                3.5.3    any delay caused by any instructions of the Buyer or failure of the Buyer to give the Supplier adequate or accurate information or instructions.

                4.6.2    issue a notice to the Buyer following which all sums due under the Contract or any other contract between the Buyer and the Supplier shall immediately become due                 and payable.

5.5               The Supplier will not be liable in any circumstances for the consequences of any delay in delivery or performance or failure to deliver or perform the Contract if:

               5.5.1    if the delay or failure is due to late delivery or performance or non-delivery or non-performance by carriers, suppliers or subcontractors;

               5.5.2    such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event;

               5.5.3    such failure is caused by the Buyer's failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the                   Goods.

5.6               Goods may be delivered in advance of any quoted delivery date upon the Supplier giving reasonable notice to the Customer.
