satisfactorily", "undamaged", or similar, will be taken by both parties to
confirm that the goods were delivered and/or installed in good condition) and by
contacting SEI Ltd customer care department on 01908 588080. If you fail to do
this then you must notify SEI Ltd by email within 48 hours of delivery of any

same condition they were in at the time of delivery. If no emailed notification
stating that you wish to return the goods has been received by SEI Ltd within

the defect is caused by you through accident, negligence or misuse. SEI Ltd
shall provide you with such information as is required to claim under the
manufacturer's warranties. In the event of a claim, you should in the first
instance contact our customer service department on 01908 648284.

you notify to us. Examples of indirect or consequential loss include but are not
limited to loss of profits, loss of time, loss of contracts, or damage to
property of the Buyer.
7.6 Where the goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall
constitute a separate contract and failure by SEI Ltd to deliver one or more
instalment in accordance with these terms and conditions shall not entitle the
Buyer to treat the contract as a whole or in part as repudiated. SEI Ltd shall
use its reasonable endeavours to meet any date agreed for delivery, but in any
event time of delivery shall not be of the essence. SEI Ltd reserves the right
to sub-contract all or part of work arising form an order as it deems necessary.
7.7 Unless otherwise stated, the price of the goods includes one delivery in the
UK (mainland). If an agreed delivery is refused or not completed, through the

reserves the right to cancel or suspend an order or contract and the Buyer
shall be liable for the costs of work completed and expenses incurred by or on
behalf of SEI Ltd . Furthermore, the Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold

losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of any
breach of these terms and conditions by the Buyer.

payment is then due.
8.3 Until such time as title in the goods passes to the Buyer, the Buyer shall
hold the goods as SEI Ltd fiduciary agent and bailee and shall keep the goods
separate from those of the Buyer and third parties, and properly stored,
protected and insured and identified as SEI Ltd property. Until such time as
title in the goods passes to the Buyer, SEI Ltd shall be entitled at any time to
require the Buyer to deliver up the goods to SEI Ltd and, if the Buyer fails to
do so forthwith, to enter upon any premises of the Buyer or third party where
the goods are stored and repossess the goods.

security for any indebtedness any of the goods which remain the property of SEI
