Where there are any outstanding payments owed to the Company by the Customer following final
delivery/supply of Goods and/or Services or termination of these Terms and Conditions and the Agreements, the Company shall be entitled to issue a final tax invoice for all Goods and/or Services supplied whether complete or partial, and these Terms and Conditions and the Agreements will continue to apply until such tax invoice has been paid in full.
2. No Warranties

5.7 If the Customer cancels a delivery/supply once a delivery date/supply timeframe has been agreed, the Company may charge a cancellation fee in its absolute sole discretion. The Customer must pay this cancellation fee to the Company before the Company will make any further attempt to deliver/supply the Goods and/or Services.

6.3 In the event of any non-delivery/non-supply or delay due to such causes then the date of delivery/supply shall be extended for a period equal to the time lost by reason of delay as determined by the Company acting reasonably. The Company will take reasonable steps to mitigate the effects of such delay.
7. Retention of Title
