If payment is not made in full by the due date on the invoice, We reserve the right to charge interest on all overdue payment amounts at the maximum statutory rate on the late amount (such interest to accrue on a day-to-day basis from the due date for payment until receipt by Us of the full amount whether before or after any Judgment) and to suspend further dispatches of the Products.

• Delivery, Title and Risk

1. Any delivery period, if stated, is approximate, and time of delivery shall not be of the essence. Ellison shall make reasonable efforts to fulfil promises of dispatch and deliver to the address shown on the Order, but no liability for failure to do so can be accepted by Ellison. Dispatch will only be effected by your ship-to delivery address unless the Company has specifically agreed to the contrary. The Company reserves the right to dispatch Products in instalments and, in this case, to tender a separate invoice in respect of each instalment. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid for in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
2. We will retain ownership of the Products until full payment has been made by you and has been received by Us. Until then, you must:

• insure the Products on the Company’s behalf for their full price against all risks to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company;
• hold the Products on a fiduciary basis as the Company’s bailee;
• store those Products separately from all other Products and goods of any third party; and
• not modify, pledge or sell the Products. We may enter your storage premises to repossess the Products. Should you sell or dispose of them to another person before title passes, such part of the proceeds of such sale or disposal as is attributable to the price due by the End-User to the Company in respect of such Products, shall be held by the End-User on trust for the Company as property of the Company and held separately from your general funds. We may sue for the price of the Products before title passes. If you refuse delivery without Our agreement, you must pay Our expenses or loss resulting from that refusal, including storage costs, until you accept delivery.
• All items purchased from Us and delivered by a third-party carrier are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that all risk of loss passes to you upon Our delivery to the third-party carrier or, if collected by your agent, all risk of loss passes upon Our delivery to your agent.

• Your Acceptance of Products and Returns

1. You will inspect the Products within a reasonable time after their receipt and you will be deemed to have accepted them unless within three (3) days after their receipt you notify Us that the Products are rejected. If no such action is taken, We will consider the items as being accepted.
2. If We agree to the return of the Product at Our choosing, it must be within 30 days of receipt of Products; in its original condition with packaging, a return note and proof of purchase; must have been authorized by Us prior to the return and include a return authorization number clearly visible on the outside of the return shipping carton or Ellison will refuse the return; the return costs may also be payable by you. You are liable for any loss resulting from your failure to comply with Our carrier’s requirements with respect to notification of damage, shortage and non-dispatch of Products. The carrier’s non-dispatch of products must be advised in writing to the carrier and Us within 10 days from the date of the invoice. You must retain damaged Products for inspection by Us at Our discretion. Returned Products must be sent carriage paid. Restocking fee may apply.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. We do not exclude or limit our liability or the liability of any other person for death or personal injury resulting from our or their negligence or for fraudulent misrepresentation. Except as set out above and in relation to our contractual obligations to supply products following acceptance of orders placed, neither we nor any of our agents, affiliates, officers, directors, employees or other representatives will be liable in contract, tort, negligence or otherwise for any loss or damage whatsoever in any way connected with your order or this agreement.

Whenever a Party shall decide to institute arbitration proceedings, it shall give prompt written notice to that effect to the other Party. Any such arbitration shall be conducted in the English language under the Rules of Conciliation and Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce by (1) arbitrator appointed in accordance with such rules.

  2. Equitable Relief. You acknowledge that any breach of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the proprietary rights or confidential information of Ellison will cause Ellison irreparable injury for which there are inadequate remedies at law, and therefore, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15(1), Ellison will be entitled to seek equitable relief in addition to all other remedies provided by this Agreement or available at law.
