2. Orders
2.1 The Contract shall be on these Conditions including any Special Conditions, to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions and no amendment or variation to any provision of the Contract shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by or on behalf of each of Us and You. For the avoidance of doubt, acceptance by Us of Your order shall not imply acceptance of any terms and conditions accompanying or endorsed upon any such order.
2.2 Any quotation is issued on the basis that no contract will come into existence until You accept Our quotation in writing or We otherwise enter into a written agreement with You.

(b) the Goods will be deemed to have been delivered;
(c) We may store the Goods until actual delivery in which case You will be liable for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, storage and insurance); and

4.6 Subject to the other provisions of these Conditions, We will not be liable for any loss (including loss of profit), costs, damages, charges or expenses caused directly or indirectly by any delay in the delivery of Goods nor will any delay entitle You to terminate or rescind the Contract unless such delay exceeds one hundred and eighty (180) days.
