1.1 The Company shall sell and the Buyer shall buy the Deliverables subject in either case to the Conditions.

This clause 2.4 shall survive termination of the Contract.

3.0 PRICE OF THE DELIVERABLES

3.1 The price of the Deliverables shall be the Company's quoted price contained in the order confirmation and except as otherwise stated under the terms of any quotation or in any price list of the Company, and unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Buyer and the Company, all prices are given by the Company on an ex-works basis, and where the Company agrees to deliver the Deliverables otherwise than at the Company's premises, the Buyer shall be liable to pay the Company's charges for transport packaging and insurance, if applicable.

(c) charge the Buyer interest (both before and after any judgement) on the amount unpaid, at the rate of 8% per annum above Nat West Bank 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).
