Should the Company choose not to enforce any or all of these conditions it should not be interpreted as a waiver of any of the Company’s rights. By providing the Company with an Order, the Customer accepts these terms and conditions.

4) Payment
The Company shall issue an invoice to the Customer in respect of products or services supplied, or to be supplied, the payment terms for which will be stipulated on the invoice. The Company reserves the right to charge interest on overdue amounts at an annual rate of 5% above the Lloyds Bank base rate ruling on the date payment is due.
