(b) These Conditions prevail over any other terms and conditions that may be expressed or implied to the contrary by the Customer, whether in an order, letter, invoice, in negotiations or otherwise.

(c) No variation of these Conditions shall bind FCS unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorised officer of FCS.

(d) The headings of the clauses of the Conditions are intended for convenience only and shall in no way affect the construction thereof.

(e) In the event that any provision of these Conditions is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, FCSs maximum liability under any order shall not exceed the aggregate of the purchase monies received by FCS for that order.

(g) Any provision in these Conditions which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction must be read down for the purposes of that jurisdiction, if possible, so as to be valid and enforceable. If that provision cannot be read down then it is capable of being severed to the extent of the invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the remaining provisions of these Conditions or affecting the validity or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction.

(h) If any of these Conditions are found to be unenforceable for reasons of invalidity or illegality, the remaining provisions shall not be affected in any way whatsoever.

(c) If the Customer is unable or fails to accept delivery of the goods, FCS may deliver them to a place of storage nominated by the Customer and failing such a nomination, to a place determined by FCS. Such delivery shall be deemed to be delivered to the Customer.

(b) The Customer shall be fully responsible for any loss or damage to the goods whatsoever and howsoever caused following delivery.

(C) terminate any or all subsisting contracts between FCS and the Customer without liability to the Customer:
(ii) the Customer shall, in addition to the amount owing and without prejudice to all or any of FCS’s other rights and remedies under the Contract, pay:-

(i) If the Customer commits an act bankruptcy, enters into any form of administration or liquidation, makes any composition or arrangement with its creditors, ceases to carry on business or breaches any fundamental clause of this agreement, then FCS may, without prejudice to any other remedies it may have, repossess any goods delivered to the Customer on any account which has not been paid in accordance with the Conditions herein and commence proceedings to recover the balance of any monies owing to FCS by the Customer.
