Within that 30 day period, BAE may withdraw the offer contained in the Order Confirmation at any time before it has been accepted by You. To be clear, the Order Confirmation and these Conditions will apply to the Contract to the exclusion of any other terms put forward by you as being the terms upon which You contract with BAE for the provision of the Goods and/or Services.

3.1 The quantity, quality and description of the Goods and/or the Services will be as specified or referred to in the Order Confirmation or as otherwise agreed in Writing by BAE.
3.2 BAE reserves the right to make any changes in the specification of the Goods and/or the Services that are required to conform with any applicable statutory or regulatory requirements in force from time to time and to alter or substitute the Goods or the method of supply of the Services provided that
3.2.1 the changes do not materially affect the quality or performance of the Goods and/or the Services (as the case may be); and
3.2.2 such alteration or substitution is approved by any Appropriate Authority where such approval is required.
3.3 You are responsible for

3.3.2 ensuring the accuracy of the terms of all orders (including the terms of any applicable specifications) and other information submitted by You in accordance with Clause 3.3.1; and
3.3.3 (without affecting the generality of Clause 3.3.1) giving BAE upon request by it any information, documentation and materials which BAE reasonably requires in order to comply with its quality control procedures in force from time to time.
4 Price of the goods and services
4.1 The Price will be as stated in the Order Confirmation and, unless otherwise so stated, will be:-
4.1.1 exclusive of any applicable taxes and duties. If BAE is required to pay any taxes or duties on Your behalf, You will reimburse BAE immediately on demand;
4.1.2 exclusive of all reasonable travel (including air travel), accommodation, subsistence and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of BAE where the Services are to be supplied at a location other than at BAE’s premises; and
4.1.3 inclusive of all charges for packaging the Goods for air freight (in compliance with ATA-300 or any amendment to, or replacement of, that standard from time to time).
4.2 BAE reserves the right, by giving You notice in Writing at any time prior to the Delivery Date, in the event that there is any increase in the cost to BAE
4.2.1 of providing the Goods and/or the Services, including any foreign exchange fluctuation, currency regulation, alteration of duties, significant increase in the costs of labour, materials, fuel, power, transport or other costs of manufacture;
4.2.2 resulting from any change in the Delivery Date, quantities or specifications of the Goods or specification of the Services requested by You or by an Appropriate Authority; or
4.2.3 resulting from any delay caused by any of Your instructions or failure by You to give BAE adequate information, material or instructions
to increase the Price by a reasonable sum that puts BAE in the same position in terms of profitability as it would have been in, had the event not occurred.
4.3 Where the Price is varied in terms of Clause 4.2, such variation will be binding on You and will not give You the right to cancel the Contract.
5 Terms of payment
5.1 BAE will invoice You for the Price (or instalments of the Price) on the invoice dates set out in the Order Confirmation. If no invoice dates are set out in the Order Confirmation, BAE may invoice You on, or at any time after, the date of conclusion of the Contract in terms of Clause 2.2.
5.2 You will pay the Price in the currency specified in the Order Confirmation in cleared funds to BAE’s nominated bank account specified in the Order Confirmation or such other bank account of which BAE gives You notice from time to time, within 30 days of the date of BAE’s invoice. Time of payment of the Price will be of the essence of the Contract.
5.3 If You do not make payment within 30 days of the date of the invoice, then without limiting any other remedy available to BAE, BAE may
5.3.1 immediately terminate the Contract (in whole or in part) or suspend all further work or deliveries until payment has been made in full. Any additional costs and expenses of whatever nature incurred by BAE as a result of any termination or suspension will be paid by You; and/or
5.3.2 charge interest on such outstanding sums from time to time at the rate of 4% per annum above the base lending rate of Barclays Bank plc from the date that payment should have been made until the date that payment in full has been received by BAE, such interest being calculated on a daily basis. In addition You will reimburse all costs and expenses (including legal costs) incurred by BAE in the collection of any overdue amount.
5.4 Whenever under the Contract any sum of money shall be recoverable from, or payable by, You, it may be deducted from any sum then due or which may at any time afterwards become due to You under this or any other contract with BAE or any other member of the BAE Group. The exercise by BAE or members of the BAE Group of their rights under this Clause will not affect any other rights or remedies available to BAE under the Contract, or otherwise howsoever, at law or in equity. You will pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without deduction or withholding other than as required by law and you will not assert any right of set-off or credit in order to justify the withholding of payment of such amounts in whole or in part.
5.5 If You fail to take Delivery of the Goods on the Delivery Date or if BAE is prevented from performing any of its obligations under the Contract as a result of any act or omission on Your part, BAE will be entitled (without affecting any other rights or remedies which BAE may have) to invoice You for the Price and payment will be due as if Delivery of the Goods had been effected or as if the Services had been completed. In such event You will be liable for and will promptly reimburse BAE (if BAE asks You to do so) for all costs and expenses incurred by BAE up to the time of actual collection of the Goods in accordance with Clause 6.3.
6 Delivery
6.1 Unless the Contract expressly provides otherwise, delivery of the Goods will be effected by BAE making the Goods available for collection by You at the Delivery Address on the Delivery Date (“Delivery”).
6.2 Where the Contract provides for Delivery of the Goods in stages, each Delivery will be treated as taking place under a separate contract and default or delay by BAE in making any single Delivery will not entitle You to terminate the Contract as a whole.
6.3 You will collect the Goods on the Delivery Date from the Delivery Address. If You fail to take delivery of the Goods on the Delivery Date then, without limiting any other right available to BAE, BAE may in their sole option
6.3.1 store the Goods until actual delivery and charge You for the reasonable costs of storage (including insurance, preservation and demurrage charges) and any other charges reasonably incurred by BAE. To be clear, BAE will be entitled to exercise a right of lien over the Goods in respect of payment of such costs and charges; or
6.3.2 sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and (after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses) account to You for the excess over the Price or charge You for any shortfall below the Price.
6.4 You will procure that any of Your representatives attending any of BAE’s premises will comply with all regulations that apply to such premises, including all applicable security and health and safety regulations.
6.5 The Price does not include any carriage, freight (other than packaging for freight in terms of Clause 4.1.3), insurance or any other transport costs. If BAE and You agree that BAE will arrange or undertake the carriage, freight, insurance or transport of the Goods for Delivery other than by collection by You of the Goods on the Delivery Date from the Delivery Address then such costs will be for Your account. If BAE incurs such costs You will reimburse them to BAE and the provisions of Clause 5 will apply subject to such modifications as the context may require.
6.6 Where the place of supply of the Services is not at BAE’s premises, You will notify BAE in Writing in good time beforehand of all regulations that apply to any representatives of BAE because they will be attending at any premises where the Services are to be performed. You will also provide to BAE all accommodation, services, amenities, facilities, utilities and equipment reasonably requested by BAE for the purposes of supplying the Services.
6.7 Unless BAE has agreed otherwise in Writing, the Delivery Date and any time or period agreed for performance of the Services are estimates only made in good faith and BAE will not be liable for the consequences of any delay and time of delivery or performance by BAE will not be of the essence of the Contract. BAE will use its reasonable endeavours to meet any estimated date or agreed period for completion of the Services.
7 Risk and Property
7.1 Risk of damage to, or loss of, the Goods will pass to You on Delivery of the Goods to You or Your representatives or, if You wrongfully fail to take delivery of the Goods, the time when BAE has tendered delivery of the Goods. To be clear, where Clause 6.5 applies, BAE will have no liability for Goods damaged or lost in transit.
7.2 Any Goods returned by You to BAE will remain at Your risk except where the Goods have been returned by prior arrangement with BAE, in which case the Goods will be at the risk of BAE from the time of receipt by BAE.
7.3 Even although risk in the Goods will pass to You in accordance with Clause 7.1, the property in the Goods will remain with BAE until BAE has received in cash or cleared funds, payment in full of the Price and all other debts then due by You to BAE.
7.4 Until such time as the property in the Goods has passed to You, You agree that, unless BAE agrees in Writing that these requirements will not apply:
7.4.1 You will store the Goods in a warehouse or other suitable premises, keep the Goods entirely separate from Your goods and those of third parties and keep the Goods properly protected, insured and identified as BAE’s property;
7.4.2 You will not attach the Goods to real, or in Scotland heritable, property;
7.4.3 BAE or its agent may (without limiting any other rights it may have) recover the Goods. You will allow BAE or its agents all necessary access to enable BAE to exercise its rights in terms of these Conditions and to monitor Your compliance with Your obligations under them;
7.4.4 BAE may require delivery up to it of all or any part of the Goods at Your expense; and/or
7.4.5 You may
7.4.5.1 sell the Goods on a bona fide arm’s length basis to Your Customers on normal commercial terms but you will not otherwise dispose of the Goods; and/or
7.4.5.2 use or install the Goods in aircraft belonging to You in the ordinary course of Your business, but not otherwise.
7.5 Any resale by You of Goods in terms of Clause 7.4.5.1 will (as between BAE and You only) be made by You as agent for BAE and the proceeds of sale of any resale by You will be held in trust for the benefit of BAE and placed in a separate account until accounted for by You to BAE.
7.6 You will not be entitled to pledge any of the Goods which remain BAE’s property or in any way charge them by way of security, but if You do so, all moneys owing by You to BAE will (without limiting any other rights that BAE may have) immediately become due and payable.
8 Project Management
8.1 Both BAE and You will appoint Contract Representatives who will be responsible for the smooth running of the Contract and for other matters remitted to them under the Contract. The Contract Representatives will liaise with each other on all aspects of the Contract. The Contract Representatives at the date the Contract is concluded are those named in the Order Confirmation.
8.2 Without limiting Clause 8.1, You will at Your own cost make available sufficient appropriately trained and experienced personnel to liaise with BAE as necessary in connection with the supply of the Goods and any Services.
8.3 Where appropriate, the Goods and the Services will be inspected in accordance with BAE’s own system of quality assurance as approved by the Appropriate Authority and such inspection will be evidenced by a certificate of inspection signed by or on behalf of BAE’s Head of Quality Assurance which will be accepted unconditionally by You.

9.1.1 be free from material defects in design, materials and workmanship;
9.1.2 comply with all statutory requirements and regulations relating to the sale of the Goods.

9.4 Subject to Clause 9.3, if it is demonstrated to BAE’s reasonable satisfaction that any of the Goods have not been supplied, or the Services have not been performed, in accordance with the Warranties, then BAE’s sole liability to you will be limited to doing either of the following (as BAE in its sole discretion may determine)
9.4.1 repairing or replacing the Goods or re-performing the Services in accordance with the Contract as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter in the circumstances; or
9.4.2 refunding the part of the Price that relates to the affected Goods or Services.
To be clear, You will not have the right to require third parties to repair the Goods or re-perform the Services and, if You do so, You will have no right to require BAE to meet such third parties’ expenses and the Warranty Period will automatically come to an end.
9.5 Save as provided above, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, all representations, warranties, conditions or terms (whether express or implied, statutory or otherwise) as to the quality of the Goods, their fitness for any purpose, their conformity with any sample or description or in any other respect, are excluded.
9.6 So far as permitted by law, BAE’s liability under the provisions of this Clause 9 is limited as follows:
9.6.1 BAE will not be liable for breach of the Warranties unless You have notified BAE promptly in Writing within the relevant Warranty Period that a breach has occurred;

9.6.6 BAE will not be liable to You if any defect in the Goods or Services arises from any drawing, design or specification supplied by You.
9.7 BAE will not be responsible for removal or reinstallation costs or any charges relating to dismantling or reassembling any of the Goods and any charges in this connection will be paid by You.
9.8 If any of the Goods are proved to the satisfaction of BAE to be the subject of a valid claim under the Warranties, BAE will bear all reasonable costs of packing, insurance and transport which may be incurred by You in returning them to BAE and, where applicable, in returning the repaired or replaced items to You provided that You will make no charge for use of Your own transport for these purposes.
9.9 Separate from Clause 7, the property in any Goods or any part of them that are returned to BAE by You and for which a refund or replacement is given in terms of Clause 9.4, will belong to BAE.

9.11 A claim by You in respect of any defect in the Goods or in respect of any delay in Delivery of Goods (or any instalment of them) will not entitle You to cancel or refuse such Delivery or payment for such Goods.
9.12 The provisions of this Clause 9 represent the entire liability of BAE, its principal, officers, employees and agents with respect to any matter arising out of or in connection with the quality or condition of the Goods or Services or any part thereof, and all other warranties, guarantees, terms, conditions or representations as to quality, description, standard of workmanship, condition, fitness for purpose or otherwise (whether express or implied by statute or common law) are hereby excluded to the fullest extent permissible by law.
9.13 In no circumstance will BAE be liable for indirect or consequential loss or damages whether caused by breach of contract (including the Contract), negligence, breach of any statutory duty or arising in any other way. For the purpose of this Clause indirect or consequential loss or damage means any loss not directly arising from the breach, negligence or other event concerned.
9.14 You will keep BAE indemnified against all costs, claims, demands, expenses and liabilities of whatever nature (including legal costs and expenses) made by third parties and caused in whole or in part by, or arising out of, any act or omission of You, Your employees or agents in connection with the Goods and/or Services, to the extent that the same are caused by or related to:-
9.14.1 any claim for personal injury or death or loss or damage directly or indirectly occasioned by default (including non-compliance with any statutory or other obligation in relation to the Goods or Services), failure to follow BAE’s instructions (whether oral or written), or misuse or mal-operation of the Goods by or on Your part or on the part of any person or persons other than on behalf of BAE;
9.14.2 any designs, drawings or specifications given to BAE by You in respect of the Goods or the Services;
9.14.3 any materials or products supplied by You to BAE and incorporated or used by BAE in the supply of the Goods or the performance of the Services;

9.15 Separate from any other provision of this Contract, BAE will not be liable to You or be deemed to be in breach of the Contract by reason of any delay in performing, or any failure to perform, any of its obligations in relation to the Goods or the Services, if the delay or failure is beyond BAE’s reasonable control and BAE has given notice to You accordingly. Without limiting these general words, the following events will be regarded as being beyond BAE’s reasonable control:
9.15.1 acts of God, explosion, flood, tempest, fire or accident;
9.15.2 unavailability of power at the manufacturing plant, breakdown of plant or machinery, or shortage or unavailability of raw materials from normal sources of supply;
9.15.3 strikes, lock-outs or other industrial actions or trade disputes (whether involving BAE’s employees of those of a third party);
9.15.4 war or threat of war, sabotage, insurrection, civil disturbance or requisition;
9.15.5 acts, restrictions, regulations, bye-laws, prohibitions or measures of any kind on the part of any applicable governmental, parliamentary or local authority; and
9.15.6 import or export regulations or embargoes.
9.16 If an event should arise which is of a type to which Clause 9.15 applies, and it affects BAE’s performance of the Contract, the time for performance will be extended accordingly and BAE will take reasonable steps to minimise the effect of any such delay. In the event that any failure to deliver or perform by BAE pursuant to Clause 9.15 results in a delay of more than 30 days, then BAE will be entitled to cancel all or part of the Contract by written notice to You without any liability for loss or damage caused by BAE’s failure to perform.
10 Intellectual property
10.1 Except as expressly provided in this Contract, You will not have any rights in respect of any of BAE’s IPR or in any associated goodwill and You acknowledge that, except as expressly provided in this Contract, You will not acquire any rights in respect of any of BAE’s IPR or any of their licensors’ IPR or any associated goodwill and that all such rights and goodwill are, and will remain, vested in members of the BAE Group or their licensors.
10.2 Where the Order Confirmation refers to, or includes, within the description of the Goods and/or Services, items which incorporate any of BAE’s Confidential Information and/or BAE’s IPR, You are given a licence to use such Confidential Information and/or BAE’s IPR for the purposes contemplated by this Contract, subject to any conditions set out in the Order Confirmation or any Special Condition.

At the end of the licence the terms of Clause 12.5 will apply.
10.3 You will, at the expense of BAE, take all such steps as BAE may reasonably require to assist the BAE Group in maintaining the validity and enforceability of BAE’s IPR during the continuance of this Contract.
10.4 Any liability of BAE in respect of infringement of any third party IPR by the Goods or any part of them will be limited to Goods of BAE’s designed or manufactured to designs of members of the BAE Group (unless otherwise stated by BAE) and such liability will only be in respect of infringement arising in the United Kingdom. In the event of such infringement, BAE’s obligations will be limited to (at BAE’s option) replacing the infringing Goods by non-infringing Goods, or securing at its own cost, a licence permitting use of the said Goods by You or paying a sum to You in compensation not exceeding the Price of the said infringing Goods. BAE will not have any liability under this Clause to the extent that the indemnity contained in Clause 10.8 applies.
10.5 BAE will, as far as it is reasonably able to do so, allow You the benefit of any reliefs or indemnities received from the supplier of any infringing Goods not of BAE’s design and manufacture.
10.6 No liability will be incurred by BAE in respect of infringements or alleged infringements arising out of a combination of the Goods with any other item or from their use for a purpose not agreed or accepted in Writing by BAE prior to such use.
10.7 BAE’s obligations in terms of Clause 10.4 are conditional upon You promptly and fully notifying BAE of any actual, threatened or suspected infringement of any of BAE’s IPR which comes to Your notice, and of any claim by any third party so coming to Your notice that the sale of the Goods infringes any rights of any other person. You will, at the request and expense of BAE, do all such things as may be reasonably required to assist BAE in taking or resisting any proceedings in relation to any such infringement or claim.
10.8 You warrant that any design or item furnished by You, or compliance by BAE with Your instructions, whether expressed or implied, will not cause BAE to infringe any third party’s IPR and BAE’s liability (whether under this Clause 10 or otherwise) will not extend to any such infringement.
