23. General


  • A notice, consent or other communication under this Contract is only effective if it is in writing, signed and either left at the addressee's address or sent to the addressee by mail, email or fax. If it is sent by mail, it is taken to have been received 3 working days after it is posted.  Notices sent by email or fax are taken to be read on the day they are received, unless they are received after 5 PM or not on a business day in the State, in which case they are deemed to be received on the next business day in the State. A person's address, email and fax number are those set out in the quotation.  The Seller may send a notice to the Buyer's last known address.
  • A right of the Seller may only be waived in writing, signed by the Seller. No other conduct of the Seller (including a failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, the right) operates as a waiver of the right or otherwise prevents the exercise of the right. A waiver of a right by the Seller on one or more occasions does not operate as a waiver of that right if it arises again. The exercise of a right by the Seller does not prevent any further exercise of that right or of any other right.
  • This Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. Neither party may rely on any prior statement of the other party not covered in this Contract, an order or a quotation. Nothing in this Contract excludes or limits liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

  • Any provision of this Contract which is unenforceable or partly unenforceable is, where possible, to be severed to the extent necessary to make these terms enforceable, unless this would materially change the intended effect of this Contract.
