(b) if the Supplier requires the Customer to return any packaging materials to the Supplier, that fact is clearly stated on the delivery note. The Customer shall make any such packaging materials available for collection at such times as the Supplier shall reasonably request. Returns of packaging materials shall be at the Supplier’s expense.
6.2 Any dates quoted for Delivery in the Contract are approximate only, and the time of Delivery is not of the essence.

6.3 If the Supplier fails to Deliver the Goods and such failure amounts to an actionable breach of contract by the Supplier, the Supplier’s liability shall, subject always to Clause 11, be limited to the costs and expenses incurred by the Customer in obtaining replacement goods of similar description and quality in the cheapest market available, less the price of the Goods. The Supplier shall have no liability for any failure to Deliver the Goods to the extent that such failure is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer’s failure to provide the Supplier with adequate Delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

(a) conform in all material respects with their description and any applicable Specification; and

(d) be fit for any purpose expressly held out by the Supplier in an Contract or any applicable Specification.
7.2 Where the Customer grants any Concession to the Supplier, the Customer shall be deemed to accept the Goods irrespective of whether the Goods conform to the warranties at clause 7.1, and at the Customer’s risk, subject to the express terms of any Concession. The Customer shall indemnify the Supplier against all liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses (including any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal and other professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred by the Supplier in connection with any claim made against the Supplier arising out of or in connection with the Customer’s use of any Goods in respect of which a Concession has been granted.

the Supplier shall, at its option replace the defective Goods, or refund the price of the defective Goods.

(a) the Customer makes any further use of such Goods after giving notice in accordance with clause 7.3;

(g) the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal storage or working conditions; or
(h) the Goods differ from their description or any applicable Specification as a result of changes made in accordance with clause 3.3; or
(i) the Customer grants a Concession to the Supplier, in which case the warranties at clause 7.1 shall take effect only to the extent set out in the Concession and subject to the terms set out therein.
