2.5 Any quotation for the Goods given by JT shall not constitute an offer. Any quotation shall only be valid for a period of 5 business days from its date of issue.
2.6. Any Order constitutes an offer by the Buyer to purchase the Goods incorporating these Conditions.

JT reserves the right to reject any Order, in its sole discretion.
2.7 JT's acceptance of all Backorders shall be subject to JT's approval of the Buyer's credit status.
2.8 The quantity and description of and any specification for the Goods shall be those set out in JT's quotation or JT's acceptance of the Order.

3.1 No Order (including Backorders) which has been accepted by JT may be cancelled by the Buyer except with the agreement in writing of JT and on terms that the Buyer shall indemnify JT in full against all loss (including loss of profit), costs (including the cost of all labour and materials used), damages, charges and expenses incurred by JT as a result of cancellation. Without limiting its rights under this condition in any way, JT reserves the right to charge the Buyer a lost profit charge of up to 25% of the price of the Goods or Services should the Buyer cancel the Order without prior written agreement of JT.
4.1 JT shall have the right immediately to cancel or to suspend any Order accepted or any delivery to be made under the Contract without any liability to the Buyer and, if the Goods have been delivered but not paid for, the price shall become immediately due and payable notwithstanding any previous agreement or arrangement to the contrary if:
4.1.1 the Buyer fails to make any payment when due or breaches any provision of the Contract and the Buyer has failed to remedy such breach within 30 days after receipt of notice in writing from JT requiring the Buyer to do so;
4.1.2 the Buyer makes or threatens to make any voluntary arrangement with its creditors or becomes subject to an administration order or (being an individual or firm) becomes bankrupt or (being a company) goes into liquidation; or an encumbrance takes possession, or a receiver, administrative receiver or administrator or any similar official under any overseas jurisdiction is appointed in respect of the whole or any part of the assets of the Buyer; or the Buyer ceases, or threatens to cease, to carry on business; or JT reasonably apprehends that any of these events is about to occur in relation to the Buyer;

5.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing with an Authorised Officer the costs of packing and delivery (including costs of carriage, cases and materials) shall be for the Buyer's account. If JT pays for or incurs all or part of such costs, it shall invoice its costs so incurred to the Buyer at the date of dispatch. If JT delivers the Goods (as opposed to using a carrier to do so) it will invoice the Buyer at JT's standard rate then in force.
5.2 The Buyer warrants the details of any address for delivery stipulated by the Buyer. JT reserves the right to charge the Buyer for any losses incurred by JT for failed deliveries/re-routed deliveries where the Buyer has provided incorrect/inaccurate details of the delivery address, this is to include failed deliveries where the recipient is not available or is unwilling to accept the Goods (such charges to also cover the loss of profit incurred by JT).
5.3 Any dates given for the delivery of the Goods are approximate only and JT shall not be liable for any loss, direct or indirect, which may arise from delay in Delivery of the Goods howsoever caused. Time for Delivery shall not be of the essence and the Buyer shall not be entitled to cancel the Contract by virtue of late Delivery. The estimated Delivery time shall be calculated as from the date of JT's acceptance of the Buyer's Order and (where required by JT) any payment, samples, information, licenses and consents necessary to proceed with the Order have been supplied by the Buyer. Changed specifications or instructions may result in changes to estimated Delivery times.
5.4 The Goods may be delivered in instalments. Each delivery shall constitute a separate Contract and failure by JT to deliver any one or more of the instalments (or faulty Goods) in accordance with these Conditions or any claim by the Buyer in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Buyer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.
5.5 If the Buyer's carrier or other third party nominated by the Buyer fails to take receipt of the Goods after being notified that the Goods are ready for Delivery or fails to give JT adequate Delivery instructions at the time stated for Delivery or has requested a delay in Delivery or the Buyer is unable to give access to its premises for the purposes of Delivery or installation then JT may at the risk and expense of the Buyer:
5.5.1 store the Goods until actual Delivery and charge the Buyer for the costs (including insurance and transport costs) of storage and re-Delivery; or
5.5.2 sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all storage, selling and other expenses) account to the Buyer for the excess over sums owing by the Buyer or charge the Buyer for any shortfall.
The date of the Goods being put into storage shall be deemed to be the date of Delivery and, unless the Goods have already been paid for, the Buyer shall be invoiced for the Goods at that date. Once the Goods are in storage, JT will not have any obligation to take any further steps in relation to the Goods, unless and until has received full written instruction from the Buyer.
5.6 Where Goods are to be exported out of the United Kingdom by JT to the Buyer or by the Buyer to the Buyer's order the provisions of this clause 5.6 shall (subject to any special terms agreed in writing between the Buyer and JT) apply notwithstanding any other provision of these Conditions: -

JT shall have no liability for any claim in respect of any defect in the Goods, which would be apparent on inspection and which is made after shipment, or in respect of any damage during transit.
(vii) The Buyer shall not be entitled to withhold payment of the price for the Goods due to the Buyer's failure to comply with the provisions of this clause.
(viii) The Goods will be packaged in accordance with JT's standard practice, and the packaging shall meet any reasonable requirements stipulated in advance by any independent contractors or shippers.
5.7 The Buyer's failure to make due payment in respect of any deliveries or instalments under any Contract shall entitle JT to delay, suspend or cancel deliveries in whole or in part at its option.
5.8 In no case shall any dispute concerning (i) any item or separate part of the Goods or work (ii) any other contractual obligation or liability of JT to the Buyer affect the Buyer's obligation in respect of payments to be made under these Conditions
5.9 Where the Buyer is unwilling to take Delivery of the whole quantity of the Goods at the due time, then any discount or other allowance in respect of the Goods, which is or would be otherwise allowed to the Buyer shall be forfeited by the Buyer.

6.2 Damage, discrepancies, shortages and Invoice Queries:
(i) The Buyer shall be responsible for inspecting the boxed / parcel contents containing the Goods on Delivery to check the Goods for damages, discrepancies and shortages.
(ii) The contents of JT's invoice including the price for the Goods, Goods description, Delivery charge or any other invoice related query (with the exception of those referred to in (iii) below), shall in the absence of a manifest error, be deemed to have been accepted by the Buyer as correct unless the Buyer notifies JT Customer Services in writing within 14 days of the date of JT's invoice.
(iii) The Buyer shall notify JT Customer Services in writing within 48 hours of Delivery of any short Delivery of Goods, any damaged Goods Delivered or any non shipment of Goods detailed on the proof of Delivery.
Save for the receipt by JT of the Buyers' notification under (ii) and (iii) above, JT shall have no liability whatsoever to the Buyer in respect of any discrepancies on JT's invoice or any claims for short Delivery or damaged Goods and the "deliveries" or "arrivals" note signed by the Buyer, or its customer, or agent indicating that the Goods are in good order on arrival shall be conclusive proof of the same and shall bind the Buyer.
6.3 Goods that fail on installation ("DOA's"):
JT operates a returns procedure for D.O.A's. Further details of the D.O.A returns procedure are available on written request. The D.O.A returns procedure may vary depending on the manufacturer of the Goods and will be notified to the Buyer upon the Buyer notifying JT that the Goods have apparently failed on installation. The Buyer must notify JT promptly of any D.O.A Goods.
6.4 Goods that fail after installation ("Faulty Goods"):
In no circumstances may the Faulty Goods be returned to JT by the Buyer without the prior written consent of JT.
