Accordingly, the purchaser must obtain written confirmation of all variations to the conditions (including all representations or understandings which may conflict with one or more of them) set out below.

1. Price
   
The goods shall be supplied to the Purchaser at list prices from time to time current as fixed by Cobra Attachments.
2. Payment

Notwithstanding such credit period, full payment for all goods at any time supplied by Cobra Attachments shall become due immediately upon the Purchaser becoming insolvent or upon the commencement of any act or proceeding in which the Purchaser’s insolvency is involved or if the Purchaser resolves to wind up or is ordered to be wound up or has a receiver, liquidator or official manager appointed in respect of all or any of its assets.

   2.2 Failure by the Purchaser to make payment on any amount payable pursuant to these terms and conditions on the due date shall constitute a default and, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of Cobra Attachments, the Purchaser shall pay to Cobra Attachments penalty interest on any such amount at a rate of 10% per month. Such interest shall be payable on demand and shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date of payment.
3. Delivery

   Cobra Attachments undertakes to use all reasonable endeavours to deliver the goods within the time specified and the Purchaser shall accept the goods as if the goods are delivered within reasonable time thereafter. Cobra Attachments reserves the right to deliver the goods by instalment and each instalment shall be deemed to be a separate contract governed by these terms and conditions. Should Cobra Attachments fail to deliver any instalment within the time specified or a reasonable time thereafter, this shall not give the Purchaser any right of repudiation or rejection in respect of any other instalment.

   4.1 Ownership of the goods is retained by Cobra Attachments until payment in full has been received for the goods, for all other goods supplied to the Purchaser by Cobra Attachments at any time pursuant to any other contract or delivery, and for any other amount payable pursuant to these terms and conditions. Unless Cobra Attachments directs otherwise the Purchaser shall dispose of any goods purchased from the seller to third parties by way of bona fide sale at full market value in the normal course of trading. If Cobra Attachments so requests, any proceeds of sale of any goods owned by Cobra Attachments received by the Purchaser shall be deposited by the Purchaser in a separate bank account established for the purpose and held by the person on trust for Cobra Attachments. The relationship of the Purchaser to Cobra Attachments in respect of goods owned by Cobra Attachments shall be fiduciary and Cobra Attachments shall have the right to trace and claim the proceeds of any disposition or whatsoever of such goods. The Purchaser shall segregate and store the goods owned by Cobra Attachments in such a way that they shall be clearly recognised as the property of Cobra Attachments.

   4.2 If any payment is overdue in whole or part Cobra Attachments may (without prejudice to any other rights and remedies) recover and resell any goods owned by Cobra Attachments. The Purchaser hereby grants to Cobra Attachments the irrevocable license to enter upon the Purchaser’s premises by its servants or agents in order to take possession of and remove any such goods. Cobra Attachments shall not be liable for any damage, injury or loss however resulting from such recovery or sale and any costs incurred by the seller in respect of such recovery or sale shall be payable by the Purchaser upon demand.
5. Returns

   Cobra Attachments shall accept returns if they have been previously authorised. Goods returned for credit must be in original condition and packaging and used, superseded, or discounted goods will not be accepted for credit. A sale and invoice number must be forwarded with all returns. Cobra Attachments reserve the right to charge a handling fee for goods returned.

   Risk and any goods supplied by Cobra Attachments to the Purchaser shall pass to the Purchaser when such goods are delivered to the Purchaser or into custody on the Purchaser’s behalf providing that if the Purchaser fails to accept the goods or requests that the delivery of the goods be delayed, risk in the goods shall be borne by the Purchaser from the time of such failure or request as the case may be. The Purchaser shall insure the goods for their full insurable value at all times until ownership in the goods has passed to the Purchaser.
