ii Appropriate any payments made by the Buyer to such of the Goods (or the Goods supplied under any other contract between Us and the Buyer) as We may think fit (notwithstanding any purported appropriation by the Buyer); and

In the event of the Buyer’s insolvency We shall be entitled (in addition to any lien arising by law) to a general lien on all Goods in Our possession whether or not delivery has already taken place (although the same or some of them may have been paid for) for any money due either in respect of such Goods or in respect of any general or particular balance or other money due from the Buyer to Us, whether under the same or any other order.
41. We shall be relieved of all liability for obligations incurred to the Buyer whenever, and to the extent to which the fulfilment of such obligation is prevented, frustrated or impeded directly or indirectly in consequence of any statute, rules, regulations, orders or requisitions issued by any government department, council or other duly constituted authority, or by reason of any government action, industrial action, trade disputes, fire, flood, storm, breakdown of plant, accident, theft, riot, civil commotion, war, national emergency, acts of God, force majeure, inevitable accident or any other cause beyond Our control. In the event of the occurrence of any such circumstances We shall be entitled to cancel the contract with the Buyer by giving notice in Writing to Him and unless and until We cancel the contract to extend the time of its performance by a period equivalent to that during which its performance has been prevented by any of the said circumstances.

47. Prices quoted in respect of deliveries are ex-works, as standard, unless otherwise stated. Our responsibility for the Goods shall cease immediately when the Goods are placed with a carrier from which time the risk of any loss or damage to the Goods from whatever cause arising shall be borne by the Buyer, as We shall be under no obligation to give to the Buyer the notice specified in Section 32(3) of the Sale of Goods Act 1979.
48. We shall be entitled to demand proof that the Goods have been exported and to charge extra prices and claim damages when proof is not forthcoming that the Goods have been exported in the condition as delivered by Us.

53. If any part of these Conditions shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed to be severable from the rest of these Conditions and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining parts of these Conditions.

i. We shall only store Buyers’ personal data for as long as necessary having careful regard to the original reason that it was supplied to us and having regard to any legal obligation by which we are governed;
ii. Buyers have a right to request access to, rectification of, or erasure of their personal data, as well as the right to object to the processing of their personal data, and a right for their personal data, if their access request is granted, to be provided to the a commonly-used and machine-readable format;
iii. Buyers have a right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner if they believe that the Company has not met its obligations under the GDPR;
In the event that further and more specific rules are enacted by the UK government then this Data Protection Policy shall be amended to give effect to such specific rules.
