  the base rate
  

1. Delivery

• 
  6.1.  V12 will use reasonable endeavours to deliver to a UK Address (or procure that its carrier delivers) on any date indicated in the Order Confirmation for the delivery of Footwear but delivery dates should be regarded as approximate only and delivery time shall not be of the essence.

• 
  6.2.  In particular V12 shall not be liable to the Customer or deemed to be in breach of contract by reason of any delay or failure to deliver the Footwear if the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond V12’s (or its carrier’s) reasonable control. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the following shall be regarded as causes beyond their reasonable control:
  
  

• 
  6.2.1.  act of God, explosion, flood, tempest, fire or accident;
  
• 
  6.2.2.  war or threat of war, sabotage, insurrection, civil disturbance;

  6.3.  If any of the circumstances referred to in clause 6.2 arise, V12 will inform the Customer of the reason for the delay or failure to deliver the Footwear and the time for delivery of the Footwear shall be suspended for as long as the cause of the delay or failure shall continue.
  
• 
  6.4.  No delay or failure by V12 (or its carriers) to deliver Footwear shall entitle the Customer to cancel any Order Confirmation or postpone its payment obligations under clause 7.
  
• 
  6.5.  Delivery shall be made by V12, or its carrier, at the UK Address for delivery shown on the Order Confirmation together with confirmation thereof as shown by V12’s delivery note unless such address shall be V12’s own address, in which case the Customer shall arrange for collection from V12’s own address.
  
• 
  6.6.  Where the Footwear is destined to be delivered to a Customer at a Non-UK Address (whether through the Customer’s carrier or otherwise) V12 shall only be obliged to make the Footwear available ex V12’s works and the Customer shall arrange for collection from the address communicated to the Customer for such purpose.
  

1. Terms of payment

• 
  7.1.  Unless otherwise shown on the Order Confirmation, or payment has already been made against
  a pro forma invoice under clause 4.9, payment for the Footwear shall be made by the Customer to V12 in the currency shown on the Order Confirmation within 30 days after the end of the month of the date of V12’s invoice for the Footwear (“Due Date”).
  
• 
  7.2.  Where the Footwear is to be delivered to a UK Address, if V12 or its carrier is unable to effect delivery of the Footwear by reason of the Customer failing to take delivery of the Footwear, or by reason of the Customer’s instructions or lack of instructions, V12 shall be entitled to notify the Customer that the Footwear is ready for delivery and to add to its invoice reasonable additional delivery and/or storage costs resulting from the delay in delivery of the Footwear.
  
• 
  7.3.  Time for payment shall be of the essence.
  
• 
  7.4.  If the Customer fails to make any payment on the Due Date then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to V12, and without incurring any liability for any loss or damage caused to the Customer, V12 shall be entitled to:
  
• 
  7.4.1.  put the Customer’s account with V12 on hold;
  
• 
  7.4.2.  cancel any Order Confirmation and/or suspend any further deliveries of Footwear to the Customer; and

1. Risk and property

• 
  8.1.  The risk of damage to or loss of the Footwear shall pass to the Customer at the time of delivery if to a UK Address or, if the Customer fails to take delivery of the Footwear, at the time when V12 or its carrier has tendered delivery of the Footwear. Where the Footwear is collected ex V12’s works in the case of a Non-UK Address, risk of damage or loss of the Footwear passes to the Customer at the point of collection from V12’s works, and, for the avoidance of doubt, V12 shall not be obliged to insure the Footwear after it has been collected.
  
• 
  8.2.  Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the Footwear or any other provision of these terms and conditions of sale the property in the Footwear shall not pass to the Customer until V12 has received in cash or in cleared funds:
  
• 
  8.2.1.  payment in full of the price of the Footwear; and
  
• 
  8.2.2.  payment in full for all other footwear agreed to be sold by V12 to the Customer for which payment is then due or accruing due.

• 
  8.3.1.  the Customer shall hold the Footwear as fiduciary agent and bailee and shall keep the Footwear properly stored and insured for V12’s benefit and identified as V12’s property; and
  
• 
  8.3.2.  V12 shall be entitled at any time to require the Customer to deliver up the Footwear to V12 or its agent and if the Customer fails to do so, V12, its employees and/or its agents may forthwith enter upon any premises of the Customer or any third party where the Footwear is stored and repossess the Footwear; and
  
• 
  8.3.3.  the Customer shall afford V12, its employees and/or its agents inspection of any documents relating to the Footwear for the purpose of tracing it.

• 
  9.2.  where they are delivered to the Customer’s premises, within 1 Business Day of delivery; and
  shall at the relevant time notify V12 by telephone or e-mail if the Customer shall consider the Footwear to be in any way damaged, unsatisfactory or otherwise not in conformity with the Order Confirmation. In such circumstances the Customer shall follow up such initial notification within 3 Business Days of collection or delivery of the Footwear by sending a detailed report of the Customer’s complaint. In the absence of such notification the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the Footwear (but not any defect in the Footwear only apparent from an inspection of the contents of each individual shoe box).
