If the Customer shall fail to comply with these provisions, the Goods shall be conclusively presumed to be supplied in accordance with the Contract and free from any defect or damage or shortage and the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods. To the maximum extent permitted by law, any failure of the Goods or any damage caused by such failure shall not give rise to any claim against TransNet for any direct, indirect or consequential loss.

7.2.    If the Goods are not in accordance with the Contract for any reason and the Customer has duly given TransNet notice thereof pursuant to clause 7.1, then to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Customer's sole remedy shall be limited to TransNet making good any alleged defect, shortage in quantity or failure to comply with description by replacing or effecting rectification of such Goods at TransNet's discretion or, if TransNet shall elect, by refunding a proportionate part of the price for the Goods under the Contract.

Part payment of any amount for the Goods does not convey any part right, title, and interest in the Goods.

TransNet, or its agent(s), may on reasonable notice enter the Premises (or other premises to which the Customer has access and where the Goods are stored or where TransNet reasonably believes the Goods are stored) at any time, and search for and inspect the Goods and/or the Customer’s financial records relating to the Goods, without incurring any liability to the Customer or any person claiming through the Customer. The Customer may not revoke the permission granted in this clause.

8.4.    TransNet shall be entitled to recover the price for the Goods notwithstanding that property in any of the Goods has not passed from TransNet.
