The price offer and the Pro-Forma Invoice are valid for payment for 30 (thirty) calendar days from the date of issue. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, production or dispatch of the Products will commence only after the full amount (or agreed deposit) has been cleared in our bank account.

We will not be obliged to supply any other Products or Services which may have been part of your order unless such Products or Services have been confirmed in a separate Invoice.

2.5 Where you dispute any invoice, you shall notify us within 3 (three) business days in writing. We shall provide all such evidence as may be reasonably necessary to verify the disputed invoice, and the parties shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to resolve the dispute promptly.

We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the Contract may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event. However, a Force Majeure Event shall not excuse the Buyer from any payment obligations for Products already delivered or custom/bespoke Products already in production prior to the event.
7.4 If the Force Majeure Event continues for a continuous period of more than 60 days, either party may terminate the Contract by giving written notice to the other party, without liability for such termination (save for the Buyer's obligation to pay for any Products already supplied or custom-made).
