\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCapitalised terms shall have the meaning given to those terms in Exhibit A.

\n1.\tAgreement<\/span>

1.1.\tThis Agreement will govern the contractual relationship between the Supplier and the Customer in respect of the sale and\/or supply of Goods by the Supplier to the Customer and\/or the Ordering of Goods by the Customer from the Supplier.

\n1.2.\tThis Agreement supersedes all previous terms, conditions and\/or agreements relating to the sale and\/or supply of Goods by the Supplier to the Customer and\/or the Ordering of Goods by the Customer from the Supplier.
\n
2.\tOrders and Fees<\/span>

\n2.1.\tAll Orders are subject to approval and acceptance by the Supplier. The Supplier is not obliged to accept any Order, nor will the Supplier be liable for any claim of any nature whatsoever which may arise by virtue of its failure, neglect and\/or refusal to accept any Order. An Order will only become binding on, and irrevocable by, the Customer upon the Supplier accepting such Order in writing. Once an Order has become binding and irrevocable as described above, cancellation of such Order by the Customer can only be affected with the written consent of the Supplier.\n

2.2.\tThe Fees in respect of the Goods specified and\/or quoted for by the Supplier are in South African Rands and are exclusive of VAT and delivery charges (where applicable). The Supplier reserves the right to vary the Fees from time to time.\n

2.3.\tThe Supplier reserves the right to vary any quoted Fees prior to the Delivery of the Goods concerned by adding thereto increased costs which are beyond its control and that arise between the date of the quoted Fees and the Delivery of the Goods concerned. The Customer will be notified in writing by the Supplier of any such increase.
\n
3.\tDelivery<\/span>

\n3.1.\tIf the Parties agree that the Supplier is to deliver the Goods to the Customer\u2019s nominated delivery address as per the Order Form (\u201cthe premises\u201d), the Customer undertakes to grant to the Supplier or its subcontractors (as the case may be) unhindered access to the premises for purposes of Delivery of the Goods. Neither the Supplier nor its subcontractors will be liable for any losses and\/or damages suffered by the Customer and\/or any other person as a result of the Supplier or its subcontractors not being able to gain access to the premises to effect Delivery of the Goods.\n

3.2.\tAny third party who collects the Goods from the Supplier on behalf of the Customer will be deemed to be duly authorised thereto and the Customer\u2019s agent for that purpose.\n

3.3.\tIf the Customer refuses to accept Delivery of the Goods and\/or delays Delivery of the Goods, then:\n

3.3.1.\tthe Supplier will be entitled to payment of the Fees and all other amounts due in respect of the Goods that form the subject matter of such Delivery; and\n

3.3.2.\tthe Customer will be liable for any loss, damage and\/or expense incurred and\/or sustained by the Supplier as a result of the Customer\u2019s refusal and\/or delay; and\n

3.3.3.\tthe Supplier may cancel the transaction in respect of the Goods.\n

3.4.\tShould the Supplier accept an Order from the Customer, the Supplier shall effect Delivery of the Goods to the Customer as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than 60 (sixty) days of receipt of the Purchase Consideration (\u201cDelivery Period\u201d). If the Supplier cannot deliver the Goods within the Delivery Period, the Supplier will notify the Customer thereof in writing. The Delivery Period will not constitute a binding undertaking and\/or guarantee by the Supplier and the Supplier will not be liable for any direct, indirect, special, general and\/or consequential losses and\/or damages arising directly and\/or indirectly from any delay in the Delivery Period, irrespective of the cause of such delay. Furthermore, the Customer will not be entitled to cancel its Order with the Supplier in respect of any Goods, nor vary the terms thereof, in the event of the Supplier not Delivering the Goods within the Delivery Period.\n

3.5.\tThe Supplier\u2019s obligation to Deliver the Goods to the Customer will be deemed to have been fulfilled when the Supplier delivers the Goods to the premises or attempts to deliver the Goods to the premises, but is unable to do so due the Customer\u2019s failure to comply with clause 3.1 above. The Supplier is not responsible for any loss or unauthorised use of the Goods, after it has delivered or attempted to deliver the Goods to the premises. \n

3.6.\tThe Customer warrants that the signatory to any Delivery Note or any other documentation of the Supplier made out in the name of the Customer is duly authorised to bind the Customer, with such signature constituting prima facie proof of the Delivery of the Goods to the Customer.\n

3.7.\tIt is the duty of the Customer to inspect the Goods on Delivery. By signing the Delivery Note the Customer will be deemed to have confirmed receipt of the Goods in good order, except to the extent of any damage thereto which is endorsed on the Delivery Note or to the extent of the Customer invoking the provisions of clause 5.\n

4.\tFees and Payment<\/span>

\n4.1.\tThe supply of Goods by the Supplier to the Customer shall, at all times, be subject to the payment of the Fees. The Customer shall pay the Fees on the relevant payment dates stipulated in the Order or an invoice issued by the Supplier, whichever is the earlier.\n

4.2.\tAll payments to be made by the Customer to the Supplier are to be made without deduction, demand or set-off, unless agreed otherwise in writing between the Parties.\n

4.3.\tExcept as expressly provided for in this Agreement, the Customer shall not be entitled to a refund in respect of any Fees. Any late payment of Fees in terms of this Agreement shall accrue interest at a rate of 15% (fifteen percent) per annum from the date on which payment was due.
\n
5.\tReturn of Goods<\/span>

\n5.1.\tSave as envisaged in this clause 5, the Customer will not be entitled to return any Goods to the Supplier without the Supplier\u2019s prior written consent thereto.\n

5.2.\tNo claim in respect of shortages, damages and\/or defects in and to the Goods will be considered by the Supplier unless made in writing by the Customer and received by the Supplier within 2 (two) business days from date of Delivery of the Goods. Failing such written notification, the Customer will have no claim whatsoever in respect thereof against the Supplier. In the event of shortages, damage and\/or defects in and to the Goods being proved to the Supplier\u2019s satisfaction and upon being properly notified as described above, the Supplier will at its option (but subject to clause 5.4):\n

5.2.1.\teither exchange the Goods for the same or similar Goods; or\n

5.2.2.\ttake back the Goods and refund the applicable Fees therefor (if the applicable Fees have already been paid) or pass a credit therefor (if the applicable Fees have not been paid). No further claims of whatsoever nature will be entertained by the Supplier in respect of such Goods, with the Customer hereby waiving any such further claims.\n

5.3.\tIn the event of the Customer incorrectly Ordering Goods from the Supplier and wishing to return them to the Supplier, the Supplier will not be obliged to agree to the return of such Goods. In the event of the Supplier agreeing to accept the return of such Goods (in the exercise of its sole discretion in this regard) for credit, such return will be subject to the provisions of clause 5.4 and a handling fee equivalent to 10% (ten percent) of the Fees in respect of such Goods, which handling fee will immediately be due, owing and payable by the Customer to the Supplier. In the event of the Supplier not authorising the return of the Goods, the Customer will have no right whatsoever to return the Goods to the Supplier and a binding sale will be deemed to have been concluded in respect thereof.\n

5.4.\tThe Supplier reserves the right, in its sole discretion, not to accept any Goods returned and\/or exchanged if they are not in their original condition as delivered, complete with all manuals, accessories, cables and packaging. \n

6.\tOwnership and Risk<\/span>
\n
6.1.\tRisk in and to any Goods supplied by the Supplier to the Customer will pass on Delivery, however, ownership and dominium in such Goods will remain vested in the Supplier until the Fees in respect thereof as well as any overdue interest and\/or associated costs and\/or charges payable thereon and\/or in respect thereof have been paid by the Customer to the Supplier in full.\n

6.2.3.\tthe Customer will be obliged to comprehensively insure the Goods concerned against any and all risks.\n

6.3.\tThe Customer hereby authorises, and consents to, the Supplier entering the Customer\u2019s premises in the event of the Customer breaching any terms of this Agreement, for the purposes of repossessing Goods for which no payment has been received in respect of which ownership vests in the Supplier in terms hereof.\n

7.\tForce Majeure<\/span>
\n
If the Supplier\u2019s ability to perform in terms of this Agreement is limited, delayed and\/or prevented in whole or in part by any cause not reasonably within its control (including fire; flood; war; hostilities; riots; civil disputes; lockouts; strikes; accident to plant and\/or machinery; shortage of any material, labour, electricity and\/or other supply; any law, rule and\/or other action of any public authority; transportation delays and\/or the refusal and\/or delay in granting any necessary export and\/or import licence) the Supplier will be excused, discharged and released without penalty and\/or liability from performance of any such obligations to the extent that such performance is so limited, delayed and\/or prevented. In such event and if some of the Goods have been Delivered, the Customer will pay to the Supplier a proportion of the Fees in respect of the Goods which have been Delivered. If no such Goods have been Delivered and the Order becomes impossible to perform as described above for reasons not reasonably within the Supplier\u2019s control, the Supplier\u2019s liability will be limited to repayment to the Customer of any Fees paid by it to the Supplier in advance for any Goods not yet Delivered.\n
