2 COMMITMENT TO PURCHASE CONSUMABLES

2.1 In consideration of CRI selling the Equipment to the Customer and providing the warranty as set out in clause 8, the Customer agrees that it will purchase all of its future requirements of Consumables for use with the Equipment from CRI for a period of two years from the Delivery Date. This obligation to purchase all Consumables from CRI will apply even if no Consumables are included in the initial order when the Equipment is purchased. 2.2 If the Customer fails to comply with the obligation under clause 2.1 then, without prejudice to CRI’s other rights and remedies: 2.2.1 CRI will have the right to cease any obligations in respect of the Equipment warranty under clause 8; 2.2.2 CRI will have the right to cease the provision of the Support and Maintenance Services (for the avoidance of doubt, the Customer will not be entitled to a refund of any prepaid fees for such Support and Maintenance Services); and 2.2.3 CRI will have the right to cease all further manufacture, delivery, installation or warranty services in relation to the Customer.

3 ORDERING OF ADDITIONAL CONSUMABLES 3.1 The Customer will place orders for Consumables with CRI from time to time and will ensure that each order is complete and accurate. A binding contract for the Consumables will not come into existence between CRI and the Customer unless and until CRI issues a written order acknowledgement to the Customer, or CRI delivers the Consumables to the Customer (whichever occurs earlier). The terms and conditions set out in this agreement will apply to the supply of the Consumables. 3.2 No order which has been acknowledged by CRI may be cancelled by the Customer, except with the agreement in writing of CRI and provided that the Customer pays CRI in full for all costs (including without limitation the cost of all labour and materials used), damages, charges and expenses incurred by CRI as a result of cancellation.

4 QUANTITY AND DESCRIPTION 4.1 The quantity and description of the Equipment and Consumables will be as set out in CRI’s acknowledgement of order or (if there is no acknowledgment of order) quotation. 4.2 All samples, drawings, descriptive matter, specifications and advertising issued by CRI, and any descriptions or illustrations contained in CRI’s catalogues or brochures are issued or published for illustrative purposes only and they do not form part of this agreement. 4.3 Any typographical, clerical or other error or omission in any sales literature, quotation, price list, acceptance of offer, invoice or other document or information issued by CRI will be subject to correction without any liability on the part of CRI. 4.4 CRI reserves the right (but does not assume the obligation) to make any changes in the specification of the Equipment and Consumables which are required to conform with any applicable legislation or, where the Equipment or Consumables are to be supplied to the Customer’s specification, which do not materially affect their quality or performance. Where CRI is not the manufacturer of the Equipment or Consumables, CRI will use reasonable endeavours to transfer to the Customer the benefit of any warranty or guarantee given by the manufacturer to CRI. 4.5 CRI’s employees, contractors and agents are not authorised to make any representations or contractually binding statements concerning the Equipment or Consumables.

5 PRICE AND PAYMENT 5.1 All Price is exclusive of delivery, packaging, packing, shipping, carriage, insurance, VAT and other charges and duties which will be payable by the Customer. 5.2 CRI reserves the right, by giving notice to the Customer at any time before delivery, to increase the price of such of the Equipment or Consumables as have not been delivered to reflect any increase in the cost to CRI which is due to market clauses or any factor beyond the control of CRI (including without limitation any foreign exchange fluctuation, currency regulation, alteration of duties, change in legislation, significant increase in the costs of labour, materials or other costs of manufacture), any change in delivery dates, quantities or specifications for the Equipment or Consumables which is requested by the Customer, or any delay caused by any instructions of the Customer or failure of the Customer to give CRI adequate information or instructions. 5.3 CRI may increase the Price for its Support and Maintenance Services from time to time by giving notice to the Customer. 5.4 Unless otherwise agreed in writing by CRI, payment for the Equipment will be due as follows: 5.4.1 50% at the time the Customer places the order; 5.4.2 40% upon dispatch of the Equipment; and 5.4.3 10% upon installation or, if CRI is not installing the Equipment for the Customer, upon delivery. 5.5 The Customer will pay all invoices issued by CRI in full and cleared funds within 30 days of the date of CRI’s invoice (or within the timescale set out in clause 5.4 if earlier), whether or not delivery has taken place or title in the Equipment or Consumables has passed to the Customer. If the Customer is located outside of the UK, payment will be required in full before delivery of the Consumables unless otherwise agreed in writing by CRI. Time for payment of the Price will be of the essence of this agreement. 5.6 If the Customer fails to make payment in full on the due date, the whole of the balance of the Price then outstanding will become immediately due and payable and, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to CRI, CRI will be entitled to: 5.6.1 terminate this agreement or suspend any further deliveries of Equipment or Consumables (whether ordered under the same contract or not) to the Customer; 5.6.2 terminate suspend the provision of any Support and Maintenance Services; 5.6.3 charge interest on the amount outstanding from the due date to the date of receipt by CRI (whether or not after judgment), at the annual rate of 8% above the base lending rate from time to time of the Bank of England, accruing on a daily basis and being compounded quarterly until payment is made, whether before or after any judgment. CRI reserves the right to claim interest under the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998; and 5.6.4 suspend all further manufacture, delivery, installation or warranty service until payment has been made in full. 5.7 All sums payable to CRI under this agreement will become due immediately on its termination, despite any other provision of this agreement. This clause 5.7 is without prejudice to any right to claim for interest under the law, or any right under this agreement. CRI may, without prejudice to any other rights it may have, set off any liability of the Customer to CRI against any liability of CRI to the Customer.

6 DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE

6.1 CRI will use its reasonable endeavours to deliver the Equipment and Deliverables on the date or dates specified in CRI’s acknowledgement of order, but any such date is approximate only. If no dates are so specified, delivery will be within a reasonable time of acceptance of the order. Time is not of the essence as to the delivery of the Equipment and Consumables and CRI is not in any circumstances liable for any delay in delivery, however caused. 6.2 The Customer will be responsible (at the Customer’s cost) for preparing the delivery location for the delivery of the Equipment and Consumables and for the provision of all necessary access and facilities reasonably required to deliver the Equipment and Consumables. If CRI is prevented from carrying out delivery on the specified date because no such preparation has been carried out or for any other reason beyond CRI’s reasonable control, CRI may levy additional charges to recover its loss arising from this event (including charges for storage of the Equipment and Consumables). 6.3 The Customer will test and inspect the Equipment and Consumables upon delivery to ensure that they comply with the requirements of this agreement. The Customer will be deemed to have accepted the Equipment and Consumables when the Customer has had 48 hours to inspect them after delivery and has not given notice to CRI under clause 8.2.

7 RISK AND PROPERTY

7.1 Risk in the Equipment and Consumables will pass to the Customer at the moment the Equipment and Consumables are dispatched from CRI’s premises. Where the Customer chooses to collect the Equipment and Consumables itself, risk will pass when the Equipment and Consumables are passed to the Customer (or its representative) or when they are set aside for collection, whichever happens first. For the avoidance of doubt, loading of the Equipment and Consumables will be at the Customer’s risk. 7.2 Ownership of the Equipment and Consumables will pass to the Customer on the later of completion of delivery or when CRI has received in full in cleared funds all sums due to it in respect of: 7.2.1 the Equipment and Consumables; and 7.2.2 all other sums which are or which become due to CRI from the Customer on any account. 7.3 Until ownership of the Equipment has passed to the Customer under clause 7.2, the Customer will: 7.3.1 hold the Equipment and Consumables on a fiduciary basis as CRI’s bailee; 7.3.2 keep the Equipment and Consumables insured for their full price against all risks with a reputable insurer and store the Equipment and Consumables (at no cost to CRI) in satisfactory conditions and separately from all the Customer’s other equipment or that of a third party, so that it remains readily identifiable as CRI’s property; and 7.3.3 not destroy, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Equipment and Consumables. 7.4 The Customer’s right to possession of the Equipment and Consumables before ownership has passed to it will terminate immediately if any of the circumstances set out in clause 11 arise or if the Customer encumbers or in any way charges the Equipment or Consumables, or if the Customer fails to make any payment to CRI on the due date. 7.5 The Customer grants CRI, its agents and employees an irrevocable licence at any time to enter any premises where the Equipment and Consumables are or may be stored in order to inspect them, or where the Customer’s right to possession has terminated, to remove them. All costs incurred by CRI in repossessing the Equipment and Consumables will be borne by the Customer. 7.6 On termination of this agreement for any reason, CRI’s (but not the Customer’s) rights in this clause 7 will remain in effect.

8 EQUIPMENT AND CONSUMABLES WARRANTY

8.1 CRI warrants to the Customer that the Equipment and Consumables are free from defects of workmanship and materials. CRI undertakes (subject to the remainder of this clause 8), at its option, to repair or replace Equipment or Consumables which are found to be defective as a result of faulty materials or workmanship within two years of the Delivery Date of such Equipment or Consumables. CRI’s obligation in respect of this warranty will not extend to repairing, replacing or reinstalling any products or finished work in respect of which the Equipment or Consumables have been used. 8.2 CRI will not in any circumstances be liable for a breach of the warranty contained in clause 8.1 unless: 8.2.1 the Customer gives written notice of the defect to CRI within 48 hours of the time when the Customer discovers or ought to have discovered the defect; and 8.2.2 after receiving the notice, CRI is given a reasonable opportunity of examining such Equipment or Consumables and the Customer (if asked to do so by CRI) returns such Equipment or Consumables to CRI’s place of business for the examination to take place there. 8.3 CRI will not in any circumstances be liable for a breach of the warranty in clause 8.1 if: 8.3.1 the Customer makes any use of Equipment or Consumables in respect of which it has given written notice under clause 8.2.1; or 8.3.2 the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow CRI’s oral or written instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of the Equipment or Consumables or (if there are none) good trade practice; or 8.3.3 the Customer uses any Consumables with the Equipment which have not be supplied by CRI; or 8.3.4 the Customer breaches it obligations under clause 2 or any other obligations under this agreement; or 8.3.5 the Customer alters or repairs the relevant Equipment or Consumables without the written consent of CRI. 8.4 Any repaired or replacement Equipment and Consumables will be under warranty for the unexpired portion of the two year period. 8.5 CRI will not in any circumstances be liable for any damage or defect to the Equipment or Consumables caused by improper use of the Equipment or Consumables or use outside of their normal application. 8.6 In the event of any claim by the Customer under the warranty given in clause 8.1, the Customer will notify CRI in writing of the alleged defect. CRI will have the option of testing or inspecting the Equipment at its current location or moving it to CRI’s premises (or those of its agent or sub-contractor) at the cost of CRI. If the Customer’s claim is subsequently found by CRI to be outside the scope or duration of the warranty in this clause 8, the costs of transportation of the Equipment, investigation and repair will be borne by the Customer.

The Customer will restrict disclosure of such confidential material to such of its employees, agents or sub-contractors as need to know the same for the purpose of discharging the Customer’s obligations to CRI, and will ensure that such employees, agents or sub-contractors are subject to obligations of confidentiality corresponding to those which bind the Customer. 10.5 All materials, equipment and tools, drawings, specifications and data supplied by CRI to the Customer will at all times be and remain the exclusive property of CRI, but will be held by the Customer in safe custody at its own risk and maintained and kept in good clause by the Customer until returned to CRI, and will not be disposed of or used other than in accordance with CRI’s written instructions or authorisation. 10.6 This clause 10 will survive termination of this agreement, however arising.
