2.4           These Conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.

2.5           Any quotation given by Powell shall not constitute an offer, and is only valid for a period of 60 calendar days from its date of issue.

2.6           All of these Conditions shall apply to the supply of both Goods and Services except where application to one or the other is specified.

4.2           Delivery of the Goods shall be completed on the completion of unloading of the Goods at the Delivery Location.

4.3           Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence.

9.1           The Fee shall be set out in the Order.

9.2           Powell reserves the right to:

9.2.1        increase the Fee, by giving notice to the Customer at any time before delivery, to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods to Powell that is due to:

9.2.1.1     any factor beyond the control of Powell (including foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties, and increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs);

9.2.1.2     any request by the Customer to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered, or the Goods Specification; or

9.5           The final date for payment shall be 17 calendar days after the date on which payment becomes due.

9.6           Unless the Customer has served a notice under clause 9.7, it shall pay Powell the sum referred to in the Customer’s notice under clause 9.4 (or, if the Customer has not served notice under clause 9.4, the sum referred to in clause 9.3) on or before the final date for payment of each invoice.

9.10         Subject to a valid Pay Less Notice being raised, all amounts due under the Contract shall be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).

9.11         If a valid Pay Less Notice is raised by the Customer, Powell’s right to suspend performance of the Contract shall not apply pending resolution of the matters raised within the Pay Less Notice.

9.12         In the event that the Customer fails and/or refuses to pay the Fee when due the Customer shall be liable to pay Powell as a debt any costs/charges/fees incurred plus VAT (including but not limited to legal costs and court fees) by Powell and/or its agents in connection with any unpaid sums due.
