Orders and Deliveries

 The Purchaser shall communicate as soon as reasonably practicable to the Vendor his order or orders.

 Provided the prevailing circumstances reasonably permit, the Vendor shall supply and deliver to the Purchaser the Goods as ordered at the time and place stipulated by the Purchaser insofar as such Goods are available at the agreed port or port-area.

 The Vendor's responsibility for transport of the Goods shall end at the nearest point to the ship that the delivery vehicle(s) may, with the necessary authority, reach ("the Point of Delivery").
Transportation of Goods to the Point of Delivery shall be charged at cost unless otherwise agreed with the Purchaser.

 Should the Vendor expressly agree to transport/handle the Goods beyond the Point of Delivery as defined in paragraph 3a the costs of such additional delivery/handling shall be agreed in advance, invoiced and payable by the Purchaser.

 If delivery is requested outside the normal hours of the agreed port or port-area or on Saturdays, Sundays or religious or national or legal holidays, expenses incidental to such delivery shall be payable by the Purchaser as additional costs.

 The Goods shall be deemed delivered on the arrival of the Goods at the stipulated time at the Point of Delivery. The responsibility, cost and risk of unloading the delivery vehicle(s) and delivering on board are for account of the Purchaser. Risk in the Goods (but not property therein) shall, in all respects, pass to the Purchaser upon delivery.

 The Purchaser shall pay to the Vendor any costs or expenses incidental to any waiting period beyond a reasonable time.

 All orders and receipt notes will be signed by the master or his authorised representative.

 Where the Vendor is ordered to deliver Goods other than to a ship responsibility rests with the Purchaser to ensure that the person responsible for accepting delivery gives a full and proper receipt for the Goods delivered. Signed receipt by that party shall constitute acceptance of delivery by and to the Purchaser.
