            • comply with all health and safety laws.

            If the Vendor is delayed or unable to fulfil any of its obligations under the Contract due to any act or omission of the Vendor (Vendor Failure), then the Supplier may rely on such Vendor Failure to relieve it from its obligations under the Contract. 

            To the extent that the delay or inability to fulfil its obligations is due to the Vendor Failure, then without limiting or otherwise compromising any other rights or remedies available to it, the Supplier: 

              • may suspend the supply of Services until the Vendor makes good the Vendor Failure; 
              • shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses which the Vendor suffers or incurs because of any delay or suspension which is attributable to the Vendor’s Failure; and
              • may request immediate payment by the Vendor of any losses, costs or expenses which the Supplier suffers or incurs because of the Vendor Failure. 

              Any right of suspension under this section is additional to any rights available to the Supplier under the law of any relevant jurisdiction.

              Liability

              The Supplier is not liable to the Vendor for any indirect or consequential loss, any loss of profits or any loss of business, whether arising from tort, breach of contract, indemnity or otherwise under or in connection with the Contract. 

              The Supplier’s liability in respect of all claims, losses or damages of whatever nature, whether arising from tort, breach of contract, indemnity or otherwise, under or relating to, the Contract, shall not exceed the aggregate of the Charges paid by the Vendor to the Supplier under the Contract.

              Nothing in the Contract shall exclude or limit either party’s liability for any death or personal injury caused by negligence or for any other liability which cannot be excluded or limited by law.

              Termination

              Either party may terminate the Contract, without liability to the other party, if that other party’s business fails. 

              The other party’s business will be treated for this purpose as having failed if: 

                • the other party is or appears to be unable to pay its debts as they fall due
                • the other party makes any voluntary arrangement with that other party’s creditors
                • (being an individual or firm) the other party becomes bankrupt
                • (being a company) the other party becomes subject to an administration order or goes into liquidation
                • any third party takes possession of, or enforces rights over, any of other party’s property or assets under any form of security; 
                • the other party stops or threatens to stop carrying on business; 
                • the other party suffers any process equivalent to any of these, in any jurisdiction; or
                • the terminating party reasonably believes that any of the events mentioned above are about to occur and the terminating party notifies the other party accordingly.

                Without compromising any other rights or remedies available to it, the Supplier may terminate the Contract without any liability to the Vendor if:

                  • the Vendor’s brand does not fit the style or concept of Special Gifts as deemed by the Supplier
                  • the Vendor’s products do not fit the style or concept of Special Gifts as deemed by the Supplier
                  • the Vendor’s company ethics, production origin, or fulfilment origin do not fit the style or concept of Special Gifts as deemed by the Supplier
                  • the Vendor fails to pay any amount under the Contract when due; or 
                  • the Vendor commits a material breach of the Contract and fails to rectify the breach within [5] working days. 

                  Upon termination of the Contract, however caused, and without compromising any other rights or remedies available to the Supplier, the Vendor shall pay to the Supplier on demand:

                    • all Charges and other sums due but unpaid at the date of such demand; and
                    • any Charges under any invoice which the Supplier raises after termination, relating to any Services which have been supplied prior to termination, but for which the Supplier had not yet raised an invoice before termination.

                    Termination or expiry of the Contract shall not affect any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities of the parties that have accrued up to the date of termination, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of the Contract which existed at or before the date of termination.

                    Any term of the Contract which is specifically stated to continue or which, by its very nature, is intended to continue after termination of the Contract, shall continue to bind the parties following termination or expiry of the Contract. 

                    Events beyond the reasonable control of the Supplier (‘Force majeure’)

                    The Supplier shall not be liable to the Vendor for any failure or delay in performing any of its obligations to the extent that such failure or delay is caused by an event beyond its reasonable control.

                    General

                    The Contract represents the entire agreement between the parties in relation to the subject matter and supersedes all previous agreements, representations or understandings between the parties. The parties agree that they shall have no rights or remedies in relation to any representation or warranty that is not included in the Contract. 

                    The Vendor shall not assign, sub-contract, delegate, or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Contract without the prior written consent of the Supplier.

                    If any provision of these Terms is held by a competent authority to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the validity of the other Terms and of the remainder of the provision in question will not be affected. Every provision is severable from every other.

                    No single or partial exercise or failure or delay in exercising any right, power or remedy by a party under the Contract, howsoever arising, shall operate as a waiver by that party of, or impair or preclude any further exercise of that right, power of remedy. To be valid and effective, any waiver must be in writing.

                    Unless otherwise expressly stated, nothing in the Contract will create or confer any rights or other in favour of any person other than a party to the Contract.

                    Any written notice under these Terms will be deemed to have been sufficiently served if posted by pre-paid official post, couriered, faxed on receipt of successful answerback, or if sent by e-mail (but in this case only on evidence of successful transmission and only if the parties have regularly communicated on contract matters by e-mail).

                    The Contract will be governed by the law of the Republic of Ireland, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.
