We may charge you a delivery fee, as notified to you at the time of the Order. You may request that delivery of the Products be delayed provided you agree to pay the storage fees as notified to you at the time you request the delay. If we are unable to deliver the Products on the date specified in the Order we will agree a revised delivery date with you. If we attempt to deliver the Products at an agreed time and you are not present or we are unable to deliver the Products except due to our fault, then we may charge you an additional delivery fee to re-deliver the Products to you. If you use your own carrier to deliver Products then delivery occurs when we make the Products available to your carrier for collection, prior to loading. You will bear all costs, expenses, losses, or liabilities arising from the transportation of such Products. If specified for Software, we will use reasonable efforts to make the Software available for download on the date specified in the Order. Risk in the Products passes to you on delivery.
