If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange delivery or collection we may end the contract.

    1. If the goods to be supplied by us are new:

    1. If we fail to comply with these Conditions, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable.
