1.1 These Terms and Conditions apply to all Goods sold by any company ("Company") in the Wilson Foods Limited Group of Companies to the purchaser of such Goods ("'Purchaser").

1.3 These Terms and Conditions are paramount and take precedence over any terms which may be offered by the Purchaser, including on any order form of the Purchaser.

1.4 All Goods supplied by the Company to the Purchaser are supplied on these Terms and Conditions, unless the Company agrees in writing to a variation. Placement of an order for any Goods shall (notwithstanding any statement to the contrary) constitute acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.

6. WARRANTY

recovered) the same shall not include damages for direct, indirect or consequential injury, loss or damage of any kind (including loss of profits) and shall in any event be limited to the purchase

price of the Goods or the actual loss or damage suffered, whichever is the lesser.

6.4 Where the Goods or any of them are subject to any express warranty given by the Company to remedy any defect by repairing or replacing the Goods with Goods of identical type, then the ultimate

consumer shall not be able to exercise its remedies set out in the CGA without first giving the Company a reasonable opportunity to remedy the defect by repair or replacement in accordance with its
