6.2 Unless otherwise agreed by an Authorised Representative of the Seller delivery of the Products and performance of the Services will be made at the Premises.
6.3 Any date or period quoted for delivery of the Products and/or performance of the Services is given in good faith by way of an estimate only and while the Seller shall endeavour to deliver/perform within the period stated the Seller shall not be liable for any loss, costs, damages, charges or expenses caused directly or indirectly by delay in delivery of the Products and/or performance of the Services.

6.6 Where the Products are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate Contract and failure by the Seller to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Conditions or any claim by the Buyer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Buyer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.
6.7 If the Seller fails to deliver the Products (or any instalment) for any reason other than any cause beyond the Seller's reasonable control or the Buyer's fault, and the Seller is accordingly liable to the Buyer, the Seller's liability shall be limited to the excess (if any) of the actual cost incurred by the Buyer (in the cheapest available market) of similar products and/or services to replace those not delivered/performed over the price of the Products and/or the Services.

7.1.2 In the case of Products to be delivered otherwise than at the Premises, at the time of despatch;

7.3 Until such time as the property in the Products passes to the Buyer, the Buyer shall hold the Products as the Seller's fiduciary agent and bailee, and shall keep the Products separate from those of the Buyer and third parties and properly stored, protected and insured and identified as the Seller's property.
7.4 Until such time as the property in the Products passes to the Buyer the Seller shall be entitled at any time to require the Buyer to deliver up the Products to the Seller and, if the Buyer fails to do so forthwith, the Buyer hereby irrevocably grants to the Seller the right to immediately enter upon any premises of the Buyer or any third party where the Products are stored to repossess the Products.
7.5 The Buyer shall not be entitled to pledge or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Products which remain the property of the Seller, but if the Buyer does so all moneys owing by the Buyer to the Seller shall (without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Seller) become immediately due and payable.
7.6 If the Buyer provides property to the Seller to provide the Products and/or the Services or for any other purpose:
7.6.1 the risk of damage to or the loss of any such property remains with the Buyer or the owner (as the case may be) and the Seller shall have no responsibility for damage to or deterioration of such property whilst in its possession which shall remain the Buyer’s responsibility to insure;
7.6.2 such property will be returned once the Seller has received payment in full for all Products and/or Services provided to the Buyer.

8.3 Subject as expressly provided in these Conditions, and except where the Products are sold to a person dealing as a consumer (within the meaning of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977), all warranties, conditions or other terms implied by statute or common law are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
8.4 The Buyer must satisfy himself as to the suitability of the Products and/or the Services and must rely on the Buyer’s own safety and general testing and regular inspection of the Products.
8.5 Any claim by the Buyer which is based on any defect in the quality or condition of the Products or their failure to correspond with any drawing, design or specification shall (whether or not delivery is refused by the Buyer) be notified to the Seller within five days from the date of delivery or (where the defect or failure was not apparent on reasonable inspection) within a reasonable time not exceeding one month after discovery of the defect or failure. If delivery is not refused, and the Buyer does not notify the Seller accordingly, the Buyer shall not be entitled to reject the Products and the Seller shall have no liability for such defect or failure, and the Buyer shall be bound to pay the price as if the Products had been delivered in accordance with the Contract.
8.6 Where any valid claim in respect of any of the Products which is based on any defect in the quality or condition of the Products or their failure to meet any drawing, design or specification is notified to the Seller in accordance with these Conditions, the Seller shall be entitled to replace the Products (or the part in question) free of charge or, at the Seller's sole discretion, refund to the Buyer the price of the Products (or a proportionate part of the price), but the Seller shall have no further liability to the Buyer.

8.8 The Buyer acknowledges that the nature of collector’s military vehicles means that they are usually older than vehicles in everyday use and they may have been used hard and close to design limits during military service. The Buyer further acknowledges that ‘New Old Stock’ parts may have been held in military stores over very long periods. For these reasons no warranties or guarantees can be given in respect of the Products or the Services and all such warranties (except regarding title to the Products and those set out in Condition 8.1) and guarantees are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.
8.9 Many of the parts and assemblies and components produced by the Seller are non-standard prototypes or re-manufactures. Although the Seller gives basic information recommending rebuilding intervals for various parts and assemblies, due to the extreme and varied conditions that prevail in the military vehicle hobby, the specific use that the Buyer makes of Products and/or Services supplied by the Seller and the conditions of use will greatly affect the performance and durability of the Products and consequently no representation or warranty or guarantee is given:
8.9.1 as to the suitability or fitness of the Products or Services for the Buyer’s particular purpose; and
8.9.2 as to the performance, handling, durability, safety, suitability, or otherwise of the Products or the Services.
8.10 In the case of any Products not manufactured by the Seller and supplied by the Seller or incorporated with the Seller’s Products the Seller is unable to provide any warranty or guarantee.
8.11 Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by the Seller's negligence, the Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer by reason of any representation, (unless fraudulent), or any implied warranty, condition or other term, or any duty at common law, or under the express terms of the Contract, for any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage (loss of profit or otherwise), costs, expenses or other claims for compensation whatsoever (and whether caused by the negligence of the Seller, its employees or agents or otherwise) which arise out of or in connection with the supply of the Products or their use or resale by the Buyer or the supply of the Services to the Buyer, and the entire liability of the Seller under or in connection with the Contract (except in relation to death or personal injury as aforesaid) shall not exceed the price of the Products.
8.12 The Buyer hereby acknowledges that the Buyer shall be solely responsible for and shall hold the Seller, its officers, employees and agents fully indemnified and harmless against all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, proceedings, costs (including without limitation legal costs) and expenses which may be brought against or incurred by the Seller, its officers, employees or agents as a result of any accident or incident involving the Products or the Services sold to the Buyer (other than for death or personal injury resulting from the negligence of the Seller, its officers, employees or agents).

In such circumstances an equitable adjustment shall be made to the delivery schedule and/or price and/or other affected contractual provisions, and the Contract shall be amended in writing accordingly.
