For the avoidance of doubt if the Goods are not received by the Supplier back from the Customer in Mint Condition then no credit note or refund for the Goods will be given to the Customer by Supplier in respect of such Goods.
4.7 In the event that upon delivery to Customer that Goods are damaged then the Customer shall notify the Supplier in writing to returns@propermusicgroup.com or by post within 3 days of delivery, specifying the Order Details and a description of the defective/damaged Goods.

(b) not remove, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods;

(b) the Supplier may at any time:
(i) require the Customer to deliver up all Goods in its possession which have not been resold; and

5.8 The Customer shall not be entitled to pledge, encumber or in any way charge by way of security for any indebtedness any of the Goods which remain the property of the Supplier but if the Customer does so then all monies owing to the Supplier by the Customer shall (without limiting any other right or remedy the Supplier may have) immediately become due and payable.

6. PRICE AND PAYMENT
6.1 The Supplier may, by giving notice to the Customer at any time before delivery or collection, increase the Price of the Goods and Additional Charges to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods that is due to:

6.7 If the Customer fails to make any payment due to the Supplier under the Contract by the due date for payment, then the Supplier reserves the right (to be exercised at the Supplier’s discretion at any time) to demand that the Customer pays interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per annum above Supplier bank’s base rate from time to time. If demanded, such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. If required by the Supplier, the Customer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.
6.8 The Customer shall pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding (except for any deduction or withholding required by law).
