The Customer must inspect the Goods immediately upon delivery and must within seven (7) days after the date of inspection give written notice to the Supplier with particulars, of any claim that the Goods are not in accordance with this agreement. Further, the Customer must, upon request from the Supplier, allow the Supplier to enter upon any premises occupied by the Customer to inspect the Goods that are subject of the claim. If the Customer fails to give notice or refuses to allow the Supplier to inspect the Goods, then to the extent permitted by law, the Goods must be treated as having been accepted by the Customer (and the Customer shall have no claim against the Supplier for damage or non-conformity of the Goods with these terms and conditions or any agreement between them) and the Customer must pay for the Goods in accordance with these terms and conditions.

(i) the Goods are not damaged; or

(ii) the Goods were damaged by the Customer or the Customer failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the Goods from becoming damaged; and

the Customer is deemed to have accepted the Goods and the Supplier is entitled to the Price.
