6.12 The provision of the Installation work will end with a function test conducted by both the personnel of the Company and the Customer at the site of Installation.

8.7 The Customer will be responsible for the Supplier’s costs and expenses in exercising its rights under clause 8.6. Where the Supplier exercises any power to enter the premises, that entry will not give rise to any action of trespass or similar action on the part of the Customer against the Supplier, its employees, servants or agents.
8.8 The Customer agrees that where the Goods have been retaken into the possession of the Supplier, the Supplier has the absolute right to sell or deal with the Goods, and if necessary, sell the Goods with the trade mark or name of the Customer on those Goods, and the Customer hereby grants an irrevocable licence to the Supplier to do all things necessary to sell the Goods bearing the name or trade mark of the Customer.

(a) the Goods have been used by the Customer for the purpose for which they were manufactured;
(b) the Goods have been properly stored, installed, handled, commissioned and maintained by the Customer;
(c) the onus lies on the Customer to establish the validity of any request, claim or action under clauses 9.1 and 9.2; and
(d) any alterations or modifications to the Goods carried out by any party, without the express written approval of the Supplier, will render the limited warranty in clauses 9.1 and 9.2 null and void.
9.5 No Goods can be returned for any reason without first obtaining written permission from the Supplier. Goods returned without authorisation are subject to being returned to the Customer at the Customer’s expense.
10.1 Any description of the Goods is given by way of identification only and the use of such description shall not constitute a contract for sale by description.
