11.1 It is our sole responsibility to ensure that all Products are of satisfactory quality, are fit for purpose and correspond with their description on our Website.

12. Termination

12.1 Without affecting any other right or remedy available, the Contract may be terminated by us with immediate effect upon serving written notice on you if: (a) you fail to pay any amount due under these Terms and Conditions on the due date for payment and remain in default not less than 14 days after being notified by us in writing to make such payment; (b) you commit a material breach of these Terms and Conditions which is irremediable or (if such breach is remediable) fail to remedy that breach within a period of 10 days after being notified to do so in writing; (c) you repeatedly breach any of the terms of these Terms and Conditions in such a manner as to reasonably justify the opinion that your conduct is inconsistent with you having the intention or ability to give effect to these Terms and Conditions; (d) you are deemed either unable to pay your debts or as having no reasonable prospect of so doing, in either case within the meaning of section 268 of the Insolvency Act 1986 or you commence negotiations with all or any class of your creditors or a receiver is appointed over your assets or you are the subject of a bankruptcy petition or order or a creditor enforces their rights against your assets and such attachment or process is not discharged within 14 days; (e) you pass away or, by reason of illness or incapacity (whether mental or physical), are incapable of managing your own affairs or become a patient under any mental health legislation. 12.2 For the purposes of clause 12.1 (b), material breach means a breach (including an anticipatory breach) that is serious in the widest sense of having a serious effect on the benefit which we would otherwise derive from a substantial portion of the Contract. In deciding whether any breach is material, no regard shall be had to whether it occurs by some accident, mishap, mistake or misunderstanding. 12.3 The Contract may be terminated without cause by us, upon 30 days’ written notice to you, with termination to take effect at the end of the 30 day notice period.

13. Consequences of termination
