In the event of different addresses being specified in each of the order and the quotation, the delivery will be made to the address confirmed in our final communication with you. You will make sure that the premises to which the Goods are to be delivered are compliant with all relevant health and safety legislation and codes of practice. If any premises are not compliant, we may suspend deliveries until they are compliant, without any liability to us. Alternatively, we may agree with you to deliver the Goods to the nearest safe place until all identified health and safety concerns have been addressed at the originally agreed delivery location. Delivery in respect of the Goods is completed on arrival of the Goods at the agreed delivery location or nearest safe place (where relevant).
6.2.

6.3. Unless otherwise agreed between us in advance, delivery can take place at any time between 8am and 8pm.
6.4. If you do not take delivery of the Goods, or fail to collect the Goods at the agreed location at the agreed time, we may, at our discretion and without prejudice to any other rights:

6.6. Any dates quoted for delivery are approximate only, and the time of delivery is not of the essence. We will not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a circumstance beyond our control or your failure to provide us with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods. We shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever arising as a result of failure to deliver Goods by any particular date, provided that we use reasonable endeavours to deliver the Goods within a reasonable timescale.
6.7. We may deliver the Goods by instalments, which will be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment is a separate contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment will not entitle you to cancel any other instalment. We do not sell the Goods on a “sale or return” basis, unless specifically agreed with you in writing.
7. Inspection and acceptance of Goods
7.1. You must inspect the Goods on delivery or collection. If you identify any damage or shortages, you must inform us in writing as soon as possible and in any event within 3 days of delivery, providing details.

7.2. Unless we and you agree otherwise, we will only accept returned Goods if we are satisfied that those Goods are defective and, after we have carried out an inspection (if required). Subject to your compliance with this clause 7, you may return the Goods and we will, as appropriate, repair, or replace, or refund the Goods or part of them.
7.3. We will be under no liability or further obligation in relation to the Goods if:
7.3.1.if you fail to provide notice as set out in clause 7.1 above; and/or
7.3.2.you make any further use of such Goods after giving notice out in clause 7.1; and/or
7.3.3.the defect arises because you did not follow our oral or written instructions about the storage, commissioning, installation, use and maintenance of the Goods; and/or
7.3.4.the defect arises from normal wear and tear of the Goods; and/or
7.3.5.the defect arises from misuse or alteration of the Goods, negligence, wilful damage or any other act by you, your employees or agents or any third parties.
7.4. You bear the risk and cost of returning the Goods.
7.5. Acceptance of the Goods will be deemed to have occurred upon your inspection of them and in any event on the date falling 3 days after delivery, whichever is sooner.

8.2. You shall allow us access to your premises and facilities where the Goods, containers, returnable containers or equipment are stored and handled (and shall, upon reasonable request, provide us with details of your own customers and ensure that they allow us access to their premises and facilities), so we can check compliance with these Terms and Conditions.
8.3.

The residual contents of any returnable containers which are collected for return to us (or our contractor) is our property from the time they are collected (except where title did not transfer to you prior to such collection, in which case title will always have vested in us), without any further payment by us. You will have no further rights in those residual contents.
8.8. We may print bar codes on the Goods, in accordance with the rules of the GS1 UK. We shall not be liable to you in the event of any omission or error in such bar codes.

9.1.1.on or at any time after delivery of the Goods; or
9.1.2.where the Goods are to be collected by you or if you fail to take delivery of the Goods, at any time after we have notified you that the Goods are ready for collection or we have tried to deliver them.

9.11. Both parties must pay all amounts due under these Terms and Conditions in full without any deduction or withholding except as required by law and neither party is entitled to assert any credit, set-off or counterclaim against the other in order to justify withholding payment of any such amount in whole or in part.
10.1. The risk in the Goods, containers, returnable containers and any dispense equipment passes to you on completion of delivery or collection.
10.2. Title to the Goods (but not in any returnable containers or dispense equipment) will not pass to you until we have received payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for: (a) the Goods and/or (b) any other goods or services that we have supplied to you in respect of which payment has become due.
10.3.

10.4. You shall be entitled to resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of your business, (provided such sale shall be on your own behalf and you shall deal as principal and not as our agent) and, in such event, title to the Goods shall pass to you immediately before the time such resale occurs, notwithstanding that the payment is still due. Your power of sale and permission of use referred to in this clause shall (i) automatically cease upon the occurrence of any of the events referred to in clause 14.1; and/or (ii) immediately cease upon notice from us to you, which notice may be given at any time when any amount is outstanding from you to us or any other Heineken Group Company, whether or not under these Terms and Conditions.
10.5. Until title to the Goods passes to you, we may require you to deliver up or make available for collection the Goods to us in the event that you fail to make payment to us under these terms of sale or we have concerns (in our sole and absolute discretion) about your solvency. If you fail to do so, you hereby irrevocably agree that we (or our representatives) may enter your premises or any third party premises where the Goods are stored and repossess the Goods and we (or our subcontractors) may do this at any time in order to repossess the returnable containers.
10.6. You shall not be entitled to (nor purport to) sell (other than in accordance with clause 10.4), mortgage, encumber, part with possession of, pledge or charge by way of security any of the Goods, containers, returnable containers or dispense equipment which remain our property (and must remain identified as such) or allow any lien or encumbrance to arise over them. If you do so or purport to do so, all money owing by you to us shall become immediately due and payable, and we shall have the right to recover our Goods, containers, returnable containers and equipment.
10.7. The rights and remedies conferred to us by this clause 10 are in addition to and shall not in any way limit our other rights, including our right to sue for the Price of the Goods (even if title to the Goods has not passed) and to recover our Goods, containers, returnable containers and equipment.
11.1. This clause 11 applies only if you are not a business but are a “consumer” within the meaning of The Consumer Rights Act 2015. If, after we have accepted an order from you, you wish to withdraw from a binding order then you may do so by informing us no later than 14 business days after the date of delivery of the products. If you notify us that you wish to cancel the order, and we have already delivered the products to you, then you must return the products to us at your own cost and risk. Provided that the products are returned in the same condition as when we supplied them to you, we shall reimburse all sums paid by you for those products less any reasonable costs of delivery.
