    2. If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed following Delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Customer, Westpeak New Zealand is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Goods.

Products and other materials shall not be counted or checked when received unless requested by the Customer in writing. An additional charge may be made by Westpeak New Zealand in respect of any such counting or checking requested by the Customer.
    8. Westpeak New Zealand is under no obligation to provide samples of Goods ordered other than by virtual (computerised) sample.

In the event that a physical sample is required this will be provided on request by the Customer and will be charged for as an extra including return freight, the additional charge will be detailed separately in the final invoice.
    9. Whilst every care and attention is taken by Westpeak New Zealand to:
      1. carry out the instructions of the Customer, it is the Customers responsibility to undertake a final proof reading of the Goods. Westpeak New Zealand shall be under no liability whatsoever for any errors not corrected by the Customer in the final proof reading. Should the Customer’s alterations require additional proofs this shall be invoiced as an extra; and
      2. deliver Goods of the highest quality, and to ensure that all components (including fabric, inks, and other materials) are purchased from reputable manufacturers, Westpeak New Zealand does not guarantee the manufacture of such items.

      2. may experience shrinkage which is considered normal practice for these types of Goods and thereby not covered by Westpeak New Zealand as a defect or under warranty. Westpeak New Zealand shall not be liable for any loss or damage in this event, where circumstances are beyond the control of Westpeak New Zealand.
    12. Westpeak New Zealand shall be under no liability whatsoever to the Customer for any variation (beyond the reasonable control of Westland Workgear) in colours between the approved prototype and the finished Goods.
