In the event of non-payment, we reserve the right to repossess these goods from your possession and enter your premises for this purpose.

5. Bill and Hold Arrangement

From time to time, the Buyer may request Dowlis (the Supplier) to store and later distribute promotional items purchased by the Buyer. In such instances, the following terms shall apply:

5.1: Upon the Buyer's request and subsequent submission of a Purchase Order for promotional items, the Supplier agrees to store or hold such items on behalf of the Buyer, subject to a Call-Off arrangement as detailed herein. The Supplier shall invoice the Buyer immediately following compliance with the Purchase Order request.

5.2: Title to the promotional items shall pass to the Buyer upon full payment of the invoice issued by the Supplier pursuant to this arrangement. Following payment, the goods shall be held by the Supplier on the Buyer’s behalf, with all associated risks being transferred to the Buyer.

5.3: It is the responsibility of the Buyer to ensure that appropriate insurance coverage is in place for the stored promotional items. The Buyer assumes all risks related to the items once title has passed, regardless of whether the items remain in the possession of the Supplier.

5.4: Payment for the promotional items shall be made to the Supplier in accordance with the Buyer’s standard terms of trade, via the payment method specified by the Supplier. This requirement remains in effect even if the items, or any part thereof, have not been physically delivered to the Buyer or to the Buyer’s order by the time the payment is due.

5.5: The Buyer commits to settling any invoices issued under this arrangement without deduction for any contra or other offsets not previously communicated to the Supplier. This stipulation holds true even if there is remaining stock held by the Supplier awaiting Call-Off.

5.6: The Buyer acknowledges that the Supplier will rely on the undertakings and confirmations provided in this clause for the execution of the arrangement.

Samples provided for approval will be charged if not returned in good condition within 14 days.
