Hardware Addendum

1 SALE AND PURCHASE
1.1 This Addendum applies where an Order includes Hardware and sets out the additional terms on which Customer agrees to purchase the Hardware and Provider agrees to sell the Hardware.

1.2 Terms defined in this Addendum shall have the same meaning as those in the Terms of Service.

1.4 Delivery of the Hardware shall be made by Provider at the location on the delivery date.

1.5 Customer shall procure that a duly authorised representative of Customer shall be present at the location on delivery of the Hardware. Acceptance of delivery by the representative shall act as confirmation that Customer has examined the Hardware and has found it to be in good condition, complete and fit in every way for the purpose for which it is intended (save as regards any latent defects not reasonably apparent on inspection). Customer’s duly authorised representative shall sign a receipt confirming such acceptance.

1.6 Customer shall at its sole expense provide all requisite assistance to enable delivery to be carried out safely and expeditiously.

1.7 Provider shall ensure that each delivery of the Hardware is accompanied by a delivery note setting out the relevant Customer and Provider reference numbers and the type and quantity of the Hardware.

1.9 If Customer fails to accept delivery of the Hardware on the delivery date then, except where such failure or delay is caused by Provider’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Addendum: (i) delivery of the Hardware shall be deemed to have been completed on the delivery date; and (ii) Provider may store the Hardware until delivery takes place and charge Customer for all related costs and expenses (including insurance).

1.10 If Customer does not take delivery of the Hardware within 10 working days of the delivery date then Provider may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Hardware.

Provider shall use all commercially reasonable endeavours to remedy any material defect in the Hardware which manifests itself within 12 months from delivery, in accordance with paragraph 1.13, provided that:

1.12.1 Customer notifies Provider of any defect in writing within 10 working days of the occurring or of Customer becoming aware of the defect;

1.12.3 the defect did not materialise as a result of misuse, neglect, alteration, mishandling, accident or unauthorised manipulation by any person other than Provider’s authorised personnel;

1.12.4 the defect did not arise out of any information, design or any other assistance supplied or furnished by Customer or on its behalf;

1.12.5 the defect is directly attributable to defective material, workmanship or design;

1.12.6 insofar as the Hardware comprises or contains equipment or components which were not manufactured or produced by Provider, Customer shall be entitled only to such warranty or other benefit as Provider has received from the manufacturer;

1.12.8 these conditions shall apply to any repaired or replacement Hardware supplied by Provider.

1.13 Provider shall, at its option, repair or replace the defective Hardware, or refund the price of the defective Hardware in full. Except as provided in this paragraph 1.13, Provider shall have no liability to Customer in respect of the Hardware’s failure to comply with the warranty set out in paragraph 1.12.
