- DELIVERY
- Delivery of the Goods shall be made by the Client collecting the Goods at LCS’s premises at any time after LCS has notified the Buyer that the Goods are ready for collection. If agreed by LCS and the Client, LCS will arrange for delivery of the Goods and delivery shall take place once the goods are handed over to the courier engaged by LCS or are posted by LCS.
- Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods are approximate only and LCS shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods however caused. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence of the Contract. The Goods may be delivered by LCS in advance of the quoted delivery date.
- Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by LCS to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these Terms or any claim by the Client in respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Client to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.
- If LCS fails to deliver the Goods (or any instalment) for any reason other than any cause beyond LCS’s reasonable control or the Client’s fault, and LCS is accordingly liable to the Client, LCS’s liability shall be limited to the excess (if any) of the cost to the Client (in the cheapest available market) of similar goods to replace those not delivered over the price of the Goods.
- If the Client fails to take delivery of the Goods or fails to give LCS adequate delivery instructions at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond the Client’s reasonable control or by reason of LCS’s fault) then, without limiting any other right or remedy available to LCS, LCS may:
- store the Goods until actual delivery and charge the Client for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage; or
- sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to the Client for the excess over the price under the Contract or charge the Client for any shortfall below the price under the Contract.
- RISK AND PROPERTY

- in the case of Goods to be delivered at the Seller’s premises, at the time when the Seller notifies the Client that the Goods are available for collection; or
- in the case of Goods to be delivered otherwise than at the Seller’s premises, at the time of delivery of the Goods to the courier company making the deliver or the time of posting by LCS. If requested to do so by the Client LCS is happy to arrange for Goods to be delivered at the Client’s cost. LCS is also happy to arrange insurance with the carrier concerned to cover the goods whilst in transit at the Client’s request and cost.
- Notwithstanding delivery and the passing of risk in the Goods, or any other provision of these Terms, the property in the Goods shall not pass to the Client until LCS has received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the price of the Goods.
- Until such time as the property in the Goods passes to the Client, the Client shall hold the Goods as LCS’s fiduciary agent and bailee, and shall keep the Goods separate from those of the Client and third parties and properly stored, protected and insured and identified as LCS’s property, but the Client may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of its business.
- Until such time as the property in the Goods passes to the Client (and provided the Goods are still in existence and have not been resold), LCS may at any time require the Client to deliver up the Goods to LCS and, if the Client fails to do so forthwith, enter on any premises of the Client or any third party where the Goods are stored and repossess the Goods.
- Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods shall pass to the Client:

- LCS shall have no liability to the Client for any loss, damage, costs, expenses or other claims for compensation arising from any Input Material or instructions supplied by the Client which are incomplete, incorrect, inaccurate, illegible, out of sequence or in the wrong form, or arising from their late arrival or non arrival, or any other fault of the Client.
- Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by LCS’s negligence, or as expressly provided in these Terms, LCS shall not be liable to the Client by reason of any representation (unless fraudulent), or any implied warranty, condition or other term, or any duty at common law, or under the express terms of the Contract, for any loss of profit or any indirect, special or consequential loss, damage, costs, expenses or other claims (whether caused by the negligence of LCS, its servants or agents or otherwise) which arise out of or in connection with the provision of the Service or their use by the Client, and the entire liability of LCS under or in connection with the Contract shall not exceed the amount of LCS’s charges for the provision of the Service and/or Goods, except as expressly provided in these Terms.
- LCS shall not be liable to the Client or be deemed to be in breach of the Contract by reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform, any of LCS’s obligations in relation to the Service or the provision of the Goods, if the delay or failure was due to any cause beyond LCS’s reasonable control.
