3.3.1 cancel the contract to suspend any further deliveries or supplies to the customer.
3.3.2 appropriate any payment made by the customer to such of the goods (or the goods supplied under any other contract between the customer and ourselves) as we may think fit (notwithstanding any purported appropriation by the customer): and
3.3.3 charge the customer interest (both before and after any judgement) on the amount unpaid, at the rate of two per cent per month above C Hoare & Co base rate from time to time, until payment in full is made (a part of a month being treated as a full month for the purpose of calculating interest).
4. DELIVERY/SUPPLY
4.1 Any dates quoted for delivery of the goods or supply of services are approximate only and we shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the goods or supply or services howsoever caused. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence unless previously agreed by us in writing. The goods may be delivered by us in advance of the quoted delivery date upon giving reasonable notice to the customer.
4.2 Where the goods are to be delivered in instalments, each delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by us to deliver any one or more of the instalments in accordance with these conditions or any claim by the customer in respect of any or more instalments shall not entitle the customer to treat the contract as a whole as repudiated.
4.3 If we fail to deliver the goods for any reason other than any cause beyond our reasonable control, or the customer’s fault, and we are accordingly liable to the customer, our liability shall be limited to the excess (if any) of the cost to the customer (in the cheapest available market) or obtaining similar goods to replace those not delivered over the price of the goods.
4.4 If we fail to supply the services for any reason other than any cause beyond our reasonable control or the customer’s fault, and we are accordingly liable to the customer, our liability shall be limited to the excess (if any) of the cost to the customer (in the cheapest available market) of obtaining a similar supply of services over the cost of our supply of services.
4.5 If the customer fails to take delivery of the goods or fails to give us adequate delivery instructions at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond the customer’s reasonable control or by reason of our fault) then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to us, we may:
4.5.1 store the goods until actual delivery and charge the customer for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage; or
4.5.2 sell the goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to the customer for the excess over the price under the contract or charge the customer for any shortfall below the price under the contract.

If delivery is not refused, and the customer does not notify us accordingly, the customer shall not be entitled to reject the goods and we shall have no liability for such defect or failure, and the customer shall be bound to pay the price as if the goods had been delivered in accordance with the contract.
