2. BASIS OF CONTRACT
   1. The Contract shall come into force on the Commencement Date and shall continue, unless terminated earlier in accordance with any express provision of the Contract, until either party gives to the other party notice to terminate in accordance with the relevant Additional Terms of GI, in which case the Contract shall come to an end upon the expiry of that notice. Where no notice period is specified, the Contract shall automatically expiry once GI has supplied all relevant Deliverables in accordance with the Contract. The Contract includes all Contract Documents.
   2. GI shall use reasonable endeavours to provide the Deliverables in accordance with the Contract, using reasonable care and skill.
   3. GI shall use reasonable endeavours to provide the Deliverables from the date specified in the Contract Details and in accordance with any milestones or dates quoted for delivery. However, any such dates shall be estimates only, and timing for the provision of the Deliverables shall not be of the essence of the Contract.
   4. GI shall not be liable for any delay or failure to supply the Deliverables resulting from the Customer’s failure to provide adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to their supply.
   5. Any quotation given by GI relating to the supply of Deliverables shall not constitute an offer, and is only valid for a period of 30 Business Days from its date of issue.
   6. Any descriptive matter, advertising or promotional material issued by GI is issued for the sole purpose of giving an indication of the Deliverables. Any such descriptive matter, advertising or material shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.
   7. These Conditions apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms that the Customer seeks at any time to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing.
   8. If there is an inconsistency between any of the Contract Documents, then they shall prevail in the following descending order of priority:
      1. any document not mentioned in Clause 2.8(b) to 2.8(d) which the parties intend to be legally binding, including any correspondence between the parties setting out further specifications, minor adjustments or clarifications of the provisions of the other Contract Documents;
      2. the Contract Details;
      3. the applicable Additional Terms of GI; and
      4. these Conditions.
   9. All of these Conditions shall apply to the supply of both Goods and services except where application to one or the other is specified expressly or impliedly.
3. VARIATIONS
   1. Subject to Clause 3.2, either party may propose changes to the scope, nature or execution of the Deliverables but no proposed changes shall come into effect until an authorised representative of each party has agreed such changes in writing. The implication of any such change shall be subject to any changes in the costs or timescales for the provision of the Deliverables as GI may specify.
   2. GI shall provide the Deliverables to the Customer in accordance with the Contract, however GI reserves the right to make any changes to the Deliverables:
      1. which are necessary to comply with any Applicable Law or safety requirement identified by GI;
      2. in order to make changes for technical, commercial or operational reasons which do not have a material adverse effect on the nature or quality of the Deliverables;
      3. in order to improve or maintain the integrity or security of the Deliverables; or
      4. in order to improve or enhance the Deliverables.
4. CHARGES AND PAYMENT
   1. The price for the Deliverables shall be the price set out in the Contract Details or, if no price is quoted, the price set out in GI’s current price list in force at the date on which the Deliverables are provided.
   2. GI reserves the right to increase the price of the Deliverables, by giving notice to the Customer at any time before delivery, to reflect any increase in the cost of the Deliverables to GI that is due to:
      1. any factor beyond the control of GI (including foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties, and increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs);
      2. any request by the Customer to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Deliverables ordered or the relevant specification, without prejudice to Clause 3.1; or
      3. any delay caused by any failure of the Customer to give GI complete and accurate information or instructions in a timely manner in respect of the Deliverables or their delivery.
   3. The Customer shall pay each invoice submitted by GI:
      1. within 30 days of the date of the invoice, or such shorter period as may be specified in the Contract Documents; and
      2. in full and in cleared funds to a bank account nominated in writing by GI.
   4. Time for payment shall be of the essence of the Contract.
   5. All amounts payable by the Customer under the Contract are exclusive of amounts in respect of value added tax chargeable from time to time (“VAT”). Where any taxable supply for VAT purposes is made under the Contract by GI to the Customer, the Customer shall, on receipt of a valid VAT invoice from GI, pay to GI such additional amounts in respect of VAT as are chargeable on the supply of the Deliverables at the same time as payment is due for such supply of Deliverables.
   6. If the Customer fails to make any payment due to GI under the Contract by the due date for payment, then, without limiting any other right or remedy that GI might have, GI reserves to right to charge interest on the overdue amount in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. The Customer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.
   7. All amounts due under the Contract from the Customer to GI shall be paid in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding of tax as required by law).
5. TITLE AND RISK
   1. The risk of loss of or damage to the Goods shall pass from GI to the Customer on completion of delivery or, if earlier, when title to the Goods passes in accordance with Clause 5.2.
   2. Title to the Goods shall pass from GI to the Customer upon the receipt by GI of payment in full (in cash or cleared funds) for:
      1. the Deliverables; and
      2. any other goods or services previously supplied by GI to the Customer.
   3. Until title to the Goods has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall:
      1. maintain the Goods in satisfactory condition;
      2. store the Goods separately from all other goods held by the Customer so that they remain readily identifiable as GI’s property;
      3. not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;
      4. keep the Goods insured against all risks for their full price on behalf of GI from the date of delivery;
      5. notify GI immediately if it becomes subject to an Event of Default; and
      6. give to GI, in a timely manner, such information relating to the Goods as GI may require from time to time.
   4. Subject to Clause 5.5, the Customer may resell or use the Goods in the ordinary course of business (but not otherwise) before GI receives payment for them. If the Customer does resell the Goods before that time it does so as principal and not as the agent of GI and title to the Goods shall pass from GI to the Customer immediately before the time at which resale by the Customer occurs.
   5. If, before title to the Goods passes to the Customer, the Customer fails to make any payment due to GI under the Contract by the due date for payment or the Customer becomes subject to an Event of Default, then, without limiting any other right or remedy that GI might have, the Customer’s right to resell Goods or use them in the ordinary course of business ceases immediately, and GI may at any time require the Customer to deliver up all Goods in its possession which have not been resold, or irrevocably incorporated into another product and, if it fails to do so promptly, enter any premises of the Customer or of any third party where the Goods are stored in order to recover them and, the Customer shall procure the right for GI to enter the premises of any third party for such purpose.
6. CUSTOMER’S OBLIGATIONS
   1. The Customer shall:
      1. ensure that the Contract Details and any information it provides in connection with the Deliverables are complete and accurate in all respects;
      2. co-operate with GI in all matters relating to the performance of the Contract;
      3. provide GI with such information and materials as GI may reasonably require and in a timely manner in order to perform its obligations under the Contract, and ensure that such information is complete and accurate in all respects, and that any such materials are fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality, including, for example, ensuring that any electronic files are compatible for the purpose for which they are intended;

   2. If GI’s performance of any of its obligations under the Contract is prevented or delayed by any act or omission by the Customer, its employees, officers, representatives, subcontractors or advisers (“Representatives”), or any failure by the Customer or its Representatives to perform any relevant obligation (“Customer Default”) then:
      1. without limiting or affecting any other right or remedy available to it, GI shall have the right to suspend provision of the Deliverables until the Customer remedies the Customer Default to its reasonable satisfaction, and shall be entitled to rely on the Customer Default to relieve it from the performance of any of its obligations in each case to the extent that the Customer Default prevents or delays GI’s performance of any of its obligations under the Contract;
      2. GI shall not be liable for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by the Customer arising directly or indirectly from GI’s failure or delay to perform any of its obligations in the manner set out in this Clause 6.2; and

   2. GI grants to the Customer, or shall procure the direct grant to the Customer of, a fully paid-up, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence during the term of the Contract to use any part of the Deliverables in which the Intellectual Property Rights vest in GI or its licensors (excluding any Customer Materials) for the purpose of receiving and using the Deliverables in its business.
   3. The Customer shall not sub-license, assign or otherwise transfer the rights granted by Clause 7.2.

The Customer warrants that it has the right to grant this licence. GI may sub-license, assign or novate the benefit or burden of this licence in whole or in part as it may see fit from time to time.
   5. The Customer:
      1. warrants that the receipt and use in connection with the Contract by GI, its agents, subcontractors or consultants of the Customer Materials shall not infringe the rights, including any Intellectual Property Rights, of any third party; and
      2. shall fully indemnify GI and keep GI fully indemnified from and against any and all actions, claims, demands, liabilities, costs, expenses, damages and losses, including but not limited to any direct, indirect or consequential losses, loss of profit, loss of reputation and all interest, penalties and legal costs (and all other reasonable professional costs and expenses) suffered or incurred or paid by GI arising out of or in connection with any claim brought against GI, its agents, subcontractors or consultants for actual or alleged infringement of a third party’s Intellectual Property Rights arising out of, or in connection with, the receipt or use in connection with the Contract of the Customer Materials.
8. DATA PROTECTION
   1. Both parties will comply with all applicable requirements of the Data Protection Legislation. This Clause 8 is in addition to, and does not relieve, remove or replace, a party’s obligations or rights under the Data Protection Legislation.
   2. The parties acknowledge that for the purposes of the Data Protection Legislation, the Customer is the controller and GI is the processor.
   3. Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 8.1, the Customer warrants that it has all necessary appropriate consents and notices in place to enable lawful transfer of the personal data (the expression “personal data” having the meaning given to it in the Data Protection Legislation) to GI for the duration and purposes of the Contract.
   4. Without prejudice to the generality of Clause 8.1, GI shall, in relation to any personal data processed in connection with the performance by GI of its obligations under the Contract:

      2. ensure that it has in place appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data, appropriate to the harm that might result from the unauthorised or unlawful processing or accidental loss, destruction or damage and the nature of the data to be protected, having regard to the state of technological development and the cost of implementing any measures (those measures may include, where appropriate, pseudonymising and encrypting personal data, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of its systems and services, ensuring that availability of and access to personal data can be restored in a timely manner after an incident, and regularly assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of the technical and organisational measures adopted by it);

       2. the other party takes any step or action in connection with its entering administration, provisional liquidation or any composition or arrangement with its creditors (other than in relation to a solvent restructuring), being wound up (whether voluntarily or by order of the court, unless for the purpose of a solvent restructuring), having a receiver appointed to any of its assets or ceasing to carry on business or, if the step or action is taken in another jurisdiction, in connection with any analogous procedure in the relevant jurisdiction;
       3. the other party suspends, or threatens to suspend, or ceases or threatens to cease to carry on all or a substantial part of its business; or

    2. Without affecting any other right or remedy available to it, the GI may terminate the Contract with immediate effect by giving written notice to the Customer if the Customer fails to pay any amount due under the Contract on the due date for payment.
    3. Without affecting any other right or remedy available to it, GI may suspend or cease the supply of Deliverables under the Contract or any other contract between the Customer and any member of the GI Group if the Customer fails to pay any amount due under the Contract on the due date for payment, the Customer becomes subject to a Termination Event, or GI reasonably believes that the Customer is about to become subject to a Termination Event.
12. CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION
    1. On termination of the Contract:
       1. the Customer shall immediately pay to GI all of GI’s outstanding unpaid invoices and interest and, in respect of Deliverables supplied but for which no invoice has been submitted, GI shall submit an invoice, which shall be payable by the Customer immediately on receipt; and
       2. the Customer shall return all GI Materials and, if the Customer fails to do so, then GI may enter the Customer’s premises and take possession of them. Until they have been returned, the Customer shall be solely responsible for their safe keeping and will not use them for any purpose not connected with this Contract.
    2. Termination or expiry of the Contract shall not affect any rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities of the parties that have accrued up to the date of termination or expiry, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of the Contract which existed at or before the date of termination or expiry.

    2. A failure or delay by a party to exercise any right or remedy provided under the Contract or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict any further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

Any modification to or deletion of a provision or part-provision under this Clause shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the Contract.
    2. If one party gives notice to the other of the possibility that any provision or part-provision of the Contract is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend such provision so that, as amended, it is legal, valid and enforceable, and, to the greatest extent possible, achieves the intended commercial result of the original provision.
18. ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND FURTHER ASSURANCE
    1. The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between them, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter. Nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
    2. Each party agrees that it shall have no remedies in respect of any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in the Contract.
