For non-account customers payment with order or on delivery will be required. Interest will be charged at the Company’s discretion on all overdue accounts at the rate of 8% over the base rate of Barclays Bank plc, both before judgement and after until payment is made in full.

Account facilities may be withdrawn or suspended at any time without prior notice. In this event all outstanding amounts become immediately due and payable.

17. RIGHT OF “SET OFF”
In so far as the Company has received any Goods and/or services from the Buyer which the Company has not paid for and where credit facilities of the Company are withdrawn from the Buyer the Buyer agrees that the Company may set off against sums owed to the Buyer by the Company the value of sums owed by the Buyer to the Company. This clause shall apply notwithstanding any terms and conditions of sale of the buyer that prohibit such set off.
