6.1 for any delay outside our reasonable control;
6.2 for defects arising from the original design or manufacture of any item we repair; or
6.3 if repairs on an article received from you do not return it to its original state or performance.

24.1 the quality is not reduced; and
24.2 the change does not conflict with any condition in your order.

25 When products are developed or improved, we can increase prices by an appropriate amount without prior notice - but in this case you can cancel your order.

27.1 interest on the outstanding balance at the rate applicable to judgement debts (both before and after any court judgement); and

27.2 £5 plus value added tax for each reminder letter, fax, telephone call and statement.

28 Anything we supply still belongs to us until you pay everything you owe us. If you do not pay by the due date, we can enter your premises to reclaim anything we have supplied and we will not be liable for any damage.

30 Any variation of these conditions is invalid unless we accept it in writing, and these conditions prevail over any you seek to impose.

31 If you are "dealing as a consumer" as defined in section 12 of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977, these conditions do not exclude or restrict liability for breach of any obligation arising from sections 13 to 15 of the Sale of Goods Act 1979.

32 If any of these conditions is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that will not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest.

33 Our rights will not be affected by any relaxation, forbearance, indulgence or waiver in enforcing these conditions.

34 Our dealings with you are governed by English law and come within the jurisdiction of the English courts.
