If you have ordered several Products at one time, the Products may be delivered on different Days. Delivery will not be of the essence unless previously agreed by us in writing. We will not be held liable for any delay in delivery caused by late settlement by the buyer of the remaining balance prior to dispatch or due to forces out of our control.

If redelivery is required, you will be held liable for any extra courier and insurance costs and expenses.
4.6. Title to the Products will pass to you once Tonik receives payment in full, or when we deliver the Products to you (or your representative), whichever is later.

iii. The part which develops the fault has not been previously modified or repaired by any third party;
iv. The fault did not occur in transit as a result of inadequate packaging or protection. This includes a failure to use an appropriate case for day-to-day transportation, or an appropriate additional flight case for situations where the Hardware is likely to be subjected to physical duress; and

i. Parts which are not critical to the Hardware’s functionality;
