relating to the Goods within a sufficient time to enable the Seller to perform
the Contract in accordance with its terms. Any pictures featured on this website are not for sale and are for exemplary purposes only. Framed paintings which feature on this website are for suggestion purposes only and the artwork the Buyer purchases will not come framed.

except with the agreement in Writing of the Seller and the Buyer shall
indemnify the Seller in full against all loss (including loss of profit) costs

penalty. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, should the Buyer
purport without the agreement in Writing of the Seller to cancel any order
which has been accepted by the Seller, or refuse to accept delivery of any of
the Goods such action shall constitute a breach of the agreement and, at the
option of the Seller, the Seller shall be entitled to require the Buyer to pay

agree that such amount represents a genuine pre-estimate of the monetary value
of the loss and damage likely to be suffered by the Seller as a result of such
breach of agreement on the part of the Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, in
the event that the Seller opts to require the Buyer to pay liquidated damages
as set out above, and the Buyer duly pays such liquidated damages, neither
party shall have any further liability to the other in relation to the Goods in
respect of which such liquidated damages are paid.

destination shall apply. All prices quoted are valid for 30 days only or such
lesser period as shall be stated by the Seller on the face of the relevant
quotation or until earlier acceptance by the Buyer, after which time they may
be altered by the Seller without giving notice to the Buyer.
7.2 The Seller
reserves the right by giving notice to the Buyer at any time before delivery to
increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost to the Seller
which is due to any factor beyond the control of the Seller (such as, without

of duties, significant increase in the costs of labour, materials or other

above, the Buyer shall indemnify the Seller in full against all loss (including

damages, charges and expenses incurred by the Seller as a result of such
cancellation. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, at the
option of the Seller, the Seller shall be entitled to require the Buyer to pay
to the Seller by way of liquidated damages an amount equivalent to 50% of the
invoice value of the Contract so cancelled. In the event of the Seller so
requiring, the Buyer shall pay such amount to the Seller (without any
