constitutes the formation of a Contract (“Contract”) under and incorporating these Conditions. 


II Supply 

6. The quantity and description of Goods required under a Contract shall be agreed by oe2 with the Purchaser and shall be confirmed in writing in oe2ʼs delivery note accompanying the Goods. 


7.

16. If for any reason the Purchaser fails to accept delivery of any of the Goods when they are ready for delivery, or oe2 is unable to deliver the Goods on time because the Purchaser has not provided appropriate instructions or information, then the Goods will be deemed to have been delivered, risk passing to the Purchaser (including without limitation for loss or damage) and oe2 may

18. The quantity of any consignment of Goods as recorded by oe2 upon dispatch from oeʼs place of business shall be conclusive evidence of the quantity received by the Purchaser on delivery unless the Purchaser can provide conclusive evidence proving the contrary.
