  1. The customer may not withhold payment of any due amount under the contract to Corporate Workspace because of any disputed claim of whatever nature, nor shall the customer offset any amount payable under the contract to Corporate Workspace any monies which are not then presently payable by the Company or for which Corporate Workspace disputes liability.
  1. If, during the contract period, there is any increase in the cost of the goods used in fulfilment of the contract, including, but not limited to, labour, materials, components, or finished goods, that is beyond Corporate Workspace’s reasonable control, Corporate Workspace will be entitled to charge any such increase to the customer.

If the customer is unable or unwilling to accept delivery of any part of the goods under the contract on or following the agreed delivery date, Corporate Workspace may facilitate the safe storage and insurance of the undelivered goods at the customer’s expense.

Notwithstanding condition 3, Corporate Workspace cannot accept any responsibility for the loss or deterioration of or damage to goods in transit, unless full details thereof are given to Corporate Workspace within 48 hours of delivery.

Photographic evidence of any damage must be forwarded to Corporate Workspace within the timescale mentioned above to enable them to make a claim on the manufacturer.
  1. The goods must not in any circumstances be returned to Corporate Workspace except in accordance with the prior written consent of Corporate Workspace.

Except as aforesaid, all conditions, warranties, and representations whether express or implied, statutory, or otherwise in relation to the goods are hereby excluded, if nothing herein shall be deemed to exclude or restrict any of the terms as to the ownership or possession of the goods implied by statute or any liability on the part of Corporate Workspace for death or personal injury resulting from negligence.
