    1. Orders

    4.1 All orders for the Products shall be deemed to be an offer by the Buyer to purchase the Products in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and any other conditions notified by PANGAIA to the Buyer. No request for products, information about product, or quotations received by the Buyer will constitute an offer.

    4.2 Acceptance of orders shall be at the entire discretion of PANGAIA, and no order is binding until PANGAIA has issued a Confirmation, at which point it becomes an Order.

    4.3 Each Order shall:

    (a) be given in writing or, if given orally, shall be confirmed in writing within two [2] Business Days;

    (b) specify the type and quantity of Products ordered; and

    (c) specify the Delivery Date by which the Products ordered are to be delivered, and the Delivery Location. If the Delivery Date and/or Delivery Location are to be specified after the placing of an Order, the Buyer shall give the PANGAIA reasonable advance notice of the relevant information.

    4.4 The Buyer is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the terms of the Order. If there are any obvious errors in any sales literature, quotations, price lists, Confirmations, invoices, delivery notes or other documents or information issued by Pangaia, then these can be corrected by PANGAIA without any liability for Pangaia.

    4.5 PANGAIA shall be entitled:

    (i) to accept all or part of any order submitted to it by the Buyer; and/or

    (ii) (notwithstanding the acceptance of any Order or part thereof), to reduce the quantity of the Products delivered to the Buyer to reflect the demand of the Channels PANGAIA believed the Products were originally intended for at the time the Order was placed. If the PANGAIA reduces the quantity supplied to the Buyer in accordance with this Clause

    4.6(ii), the Buyer shall keep PANGAIA regularly informed of its sales or use (as applicable), of the Products.

    4.6 PANGAIA shall assign an Order Number to each Order received from the Buyer and notify such Order Numbers to the Buyer. Each party shall use the relevant Order Number in all subsequent correspondence relating to the Order.

    4.7 The Buyer may within two (2) Business Days of placing an Order amend or cancel an Order by written notice to the Pangaia. If the Buyer amends or cancels an Order, its liability to PANGAIA shall be limited to payment to PANGAIA of all costs reasonably incurred by PANGAIA in fulfilling the Order up until the date of receipt of the notice of amendment or cancellation, except that the Buyer shall have no liability to PANGAIA where the amendment or cancellation results from PANGAIA's failure to comply with its obligations under this agreement.

    1. Manufacture, quality and packing

    5.1 PANGAIA shall ensure that the Products are properly packed and secured in such manner as to enable them to reach their destination in good condition.

    6.3 PANGAIA may deliver Orders by instalments of such quantities and at such intervals as it may decide and any express provision as to instalments in the Contract shall be in addition to and not in derogation of this right. Where PANGAIA exercises its right under this Clause 6.3, each instalment shall constitute a separate contract and any failure or defect in Delivery of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the Buyer to repudiate the Contract as a whole nor to cancel any subsequent instalments.

    6.4 If the Buyer fails to accept delivery of an Order on the specified Delivery Date, then, except where such failure or delay is caused by PANGAIA's failure to comply with its obligations under this agreement:

    (b) PANGAIA shall store the Order until delivery takes place and charge the Buyer for all related costs and expenses (including insurance).

    6.5 Each delivery of Products shall be accompanied by a delivery note from PANGAIA showing the Order Number, the date of the Order, the type and quantity of Products included in the Order and, in the case of Products being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Products specified in an Order remaining to be delivered.

    6.8 The parties agree that if in respect of an Order PANGAIA delivers five percent (5%) or more than the quantity of Products ordered, the Buyer shall not be entitled to reject the Order, but a pro rata adjustment shall be made to the Order invoice.

    6.9 If PANGAIA requires the Buyer to return any packaging materials to PANGAIA, that fact must be clearly stated on the delivery note accompanying the relevant Order, and any such returns shall be at PANGAIA's expense.

    (a) be repaired or replaced at PANGAIA’s risk and expense within ten (10) Business Days of being requested to do so; or

    (b) be collected by or authorised to be returned to PANGAIA and appropriate credit to the Buyer arranged. PANGAIA may not accept alleged non-compliant or non-conforming Products back unless PANGAIA has inspected such Products and duly authorised them as such.

    (b) any delay in Delivery;
