No delay shall entitle the Customer to terminate or rescind the Contract unless such delay exceeds 180 days.
5.6 If for any reason the Customer fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods when they are ready for delivery, fails to collect the Goods in accordance with condition 5.3, or the Company is unable to deliver the Goods on time because the Customer has not provided appropriate instructions, documents, licences, or authorisations:

5.10 The Company may deliver the Goods by separate instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid for in accordance with the Contract.
5.11 Each instalment shall be a separate Contract, and no cancellation or termination of one Contract relating to an instalment shall entitle the Customer to repudiate or cancel any other Contract or instalment.
5.12 All deliveries will leave the Company with a delivery note attached. If the Customer receives a delivery without the attached delivery note, the Customer should contact the Company immediately on 01792 293 689 and request that a copy be emailed so that the Customer can check the delivery is correct. See condition 7 for further terms relating to delivery and acceptance.
5.13 Where the Company delivers the order to the Customer, the Goods will be delivered on a standard 48-hour service for all UK customers.

6. Payment and Prices
6.1 Payment for the Goods and VAT must be made in full before an order will be dispatched, unless a Credit Account has been agreed.
