Any order from or supply to such person shall be on behalf of the Customer and is made pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Nothing in this Condition 13 shall relieve the Customer of any of its obligations under the Agreement, in particular, without limitation, payment of any Charges or sums owing to CAT.

4. The Customer warrants that it is not a Consumer and is subject to the exemption under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.
5. If any provision of the Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any way under any law, it shall to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability be deemed severable and the remaining provisions of the Agreement and the remainder of such provision shall continue in full force and effect.
6. The Agreement together with any additional rights and obligations not conflicting with these Conditions and contained in any Quotation or Proposal, constitutes the whole and only agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter of the Agreement and supersedes any previous agreement or understanding between the parties relating to the supply of Goods and/or Services by CAT to the Customer including, without limitation, any previous forms of CAT's General Conditions of Sale supplied to the Customer by CAT.

  1. in entering into the Agreement, it does not rely on, and shall have no remedy in respect of, any statement, representation, warranty (in each case whether negligently or innocently made), or understanding of any person (whether party to the Agreement or not) which is not expressly set out in these Conditions or a Proposal or Quote and
  2. the only remedy available to it for breach of any statement, representation or other term that is expressly set out in the Agreement shall be for breach of contract under the terms of the Agreement.

2. CAT reserves the right to refuse to supply Goods or Services if CAT determines that the working environment is unsafe until the Customer has completed any remedial work which CAT considers is essential to the safe delivery or safe operation of the Customer Equipment and any delay arising shall be deemed a Customer delay and Condition 2(e) shall apply.
3. CAT shall carry out the Services with all due care and skill using suitably qualified and experienced staff having regard to legal requirements and good safety practices and in accordance with (as the case may be) CAT's Proposal, Quote, Project Plan and Schedule of Costs as provided to the Customer.
