2.2 No terms or conditions endorsed on, delivered with or contained in the Buyer's purchase order, confirmation of order, specification or other document shall form part of the Contract simply as a result of such document being referred to in the Contract.

2.3 These conditions apply to all Lateral Design Studio's sales and any variation to these conditions and any representations about the Goods shall have no effect unless expressly agreed in writing and signed by a director of Lateral Design Studio.

2.4 Each order or acceptance of a quotation for Goods by the Buyer from Lateral Design Studio shall be deemed to be an offer by the Buyer to buy Goods subject to these conditions.

2.6 The Buyer shall ensure that the terms of its order and any applicable specification are complete and accurate.

4.5 If for any reason the Buyer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods when they are ready for delivery, or Lateral Design Studio is unable to deliver the Goods on time because the Buyer has not provided appropriate instructions, personnel, documents, vehicular access, licences or authorisations: (a) risk for the Goods shall pass to the Buyer (including for loss or damage caused by Lateral Design Studio's negligence); (b) the Goods shall be deemed to have been delivered; and (c) Lateral Design Studio may store the Goods until re-delivery, whereupon the Buyer shall be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, original and re-delivery charges, storage and insurance).
