  5. If the Buyer fails to make payment on the due date then a penalty interest payment calculated as 5% above the monthly base commercial lending rate charged by FFSL’s bank (as at the due date) will be payable by the Buyer from the due date until the date payment is made in full. 

TITLE AND RISK

  1. Title in products supplied by FFSL will pass to the Buyer only upon payment of the invoice  in full.
  2. The products will remain at FFSL’s risk until delivery at the address nominated by the Buyer when placing the order.  Where delivery is delayed due to the fault of the Buyer, the products will be at the Buyer’s risk with regard to any loss incurred by FFSL as a result of the delay. 
  3. The Buyer is responsible for checking the products prior to accepting delivery and any concerns must be promptly raised with FFSL otherwise the Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the condition of the products.
