We may partially deliver products listed in one order and if we fail to deliver an instalment that failure will not give rise to a right of cancellation.

14.2 Any personal liability of you as director or trustee under clause 14.1 will not exclude the company or trust from the liabilities and obligations contained in this agreement. You will be a principal debtor and not a mere surety. You will not be released from liability under this clause by the granting of time or indulgence, any amendment to these terms or any other security interest, or any matter whatsoever.

The presence of a dispute will not affect either party’s claim for any amount due, damages for any breach of obligations under this agreement and any other legal rights either party may have.
