TAF shall pay the reasonable charges of Third Party Contractors on Customer behalf and recharge them to Customer with our own fees. TAF will ensure that the Third Party Contractor fees which are recharged to Customer are in line with the fees TAF will have quoted to Customer, had TAF done the work ourselves.

- Risk
As soon as TAF have delivered the goods or services, Customer will be responsible for them and TAF will not be liable for their loss or destruction. Therefore, Customer would need to take necessary steps to insure the items. If Customer delays a delivery, our responsibility for everything other than damage due to our negligence will end on the date TAF agreed to ship them.
- Ownership of the Goods
Customer will only own the goods once they have been successfully delivered and when TAF have received cleared payment in full. Goods supplied are not for resale.
- Delivery
TAF will deliver the goods to the address Customer specifies for delivery on Invoice. It is important that this address is accurate. Please be precise about where Customer would like the goods left if Customer is out when TAF deliver. TAF cannot accept any liability for any loss or damage to the goods once they have been shipped in accordance with your delivery instructions (unless this is caused by our negligence). TAF will aim to ship the goods by the date quoted for shipment but delivery times are not guaranteed. If shipment is delayed due to any cause beyond our reasonable control, the shipment date will be extended by a reasonable period and TAF will contact Customer to arrange an alternative time.
- Performance

6.2 If in our opinion it is not reasonably practicable for any reason to carry out any of the work TAF are instructed to carry out, TAF shall be entitled to refrain from carrying out or completing such work and will consult with Customer as to what if any work is to be undertaken.

6.3 If the cost to us of carrying out the work is subsequently increased by reason of increases in the cost materials and/or labour and/or any other factor outside our control, then TAF shall notify Customer before undertaking any work to which the increase will apply. If Customer requires TAF to discontinue the work, Customer shall only be required to pay TAF for the work already carried out.
- Payment
Unless the Agreement provides otherwise, the price for the goods and/or services shall be payable no later than 7 days from the date of the relevant Invoice.
