 1:  ORDERS

In all cases where a Buyer places an order with AT2R for the supply of Goods or Services which either contains no terms or conditions or which contain terms and conditions identical to these General Terms and Conditions, such written order shall constitute an offer by the Buyer to be supplied Goods or Services in accordance with these General Terms and Conditions. In any case where an order which is placed by a Buyer contains terms and conditions which are inconsistent with these General Terms and Conditions such written order shall amount to an offer to be supplied Goods or Services which is incapable of acceptance by AT2R.

3:  TERMS OF PAYMENT CREDIT ACCOUNTS

3.1  Unless otherwise agreed to in writing the full amount charged for all Goods and Services supplied by AT2R shall be paid by the Buyer within 7 days of delivery or supply of the Goods or Services, whichever event shall first occur.

Where there is failure to make prompt payment all other monies due by the Buyer to AT2R, even if time for payment has not yet fallen due, shall immediately become due and payable by the Buyer to AT2R without the necessity of making demand for payment. So long as there are monies outstanding by a Buyer to AT2R all future orders accepted for the supply of Goods and Services by AT2R shall be accepted only on a cash basis. AT2R may at its sole and absolute discretion charge interest at the rate of 2% per month on all payments due by a Buyer, which are in arrears from the date that the payment fell due.
