STANDARD TRADING CONDITIONS of Central Purchasing Services Ltd. For existing customers, these Trading Conditions will come into
effect from the first day of March in the year of 2019 and shall replace any previous agreement that is in place prior to that date. In consideration of
Central Purchasing Services Limited and its subsidiaries (“CPS”) supplying goods and/or services and/or credit to, or at the direction of, the
Customer, the parties agree as follows:
1. “Customer” refers to the Applicant described on the Application Details page of this document; and/or the entity of the Account under
which you presently or historically trade with CPS and/or the entity under which that trading name is held.
2. “Statement” means any document setting out the amount due by the Customer to CPS.
3. “Goods” shall include goods, products, materials and services supplied by CPS or its Charge Back Suppliers.
4. “Charge Back Suppliers” (hereafter referred to as “Suppliers”) are providers of goods and/or services to the customer where the goods
are procured via the CPS credit facility extended to the customer.
5. Terms The terms of this Agreement apply in every case where CPS or Suppliers provides goods or services of any kind to the customer.
Acceptance of Goods by the Customer is conclusive evidence before any court that this Agreement (and any variation) applies and is
binding on it and the guarantors.
6. Payment Goods purchased from CPS or Suppliers must be paid for by the earlier of the due date as shown on your statement and the
date which is 28 days after the month end. If the Customer fails to pay for any Goods in accordance with the due date on any Statement,
then interest shall accrue on any unpaid amount at the rate of 1.25% per month as CPS sole discretion from the date that the amount
became due until the date the amount is paid. The Customer’s Credit Limit will be adjusted by CPS at any time and without further
notification to the Customer if deemed necessary.
7. Guarantee Where the Customer is a Company, then satisfactory Guarantor/s (as approved by CPS) must execute the Guarantee
provided by the applicant. In the event that no Guarantee is executed, then the persons signing this application for or on behalf of the
Company Customer shall be personally liable in the same terms as that set out in the Guarantee in this document or the Guarantee
which has been provided with the original application for an account.
8. Stop Credit CPS may at any time and for any reason withdraw any credit facilities when an account is overdue. Upon any such
withdrawal, the balance of any Statement unpaid will become immediately due and payable. If an amount payable by a Customer to
CPS or its subsidiaries for Goods is due but unpaid, CPS or its subsidiaries may withhold payment of any amount that is payable by
CPS or its subsidiaries to the Customer until the Customer has made payment of the amount that it owes to CPS or its subsidiaries. CPS
may set off any amount that is payable by the Customer to CPS or its subsidiaries against and in full and final satisfaction of any amount
that is payable by CPS to the Customer. Customers who wish to re-open their credit account will have to re-apply.
9. Title (a) Notwithstanding the delivery of the Goods or part thereof by any Supplier through CPS’ account, the Goods remain the sole
and absolute property of CPS as full legal and equitable owner until such time as the Customer shall have paid to CPS the full purchase
price together with the full price of any other Goods the subject of any other agreement with CPS. (b) The Customer acknowledges that
they receive possession of and holds Goods delivered by CPS or one of its Suppliers solely as bailee for CPS until such time as the full
price thereof is paid to CPS together with the full price of any other Goods then the subject of any other agreement with CPS and that a

will; (i) store them on the premises separately; (ii) ensure that the Goods are kept in good and serviceable condition; (iii) Secure the
Goods from risk, damage and theft; and (iv) Keep the Goods fully insured against such risks that are usual or common to insure against
in a business of a simliar nature to that of the Customer. (d) (i) Until such time as the Customer becomes the owner of the Goods, CPS
authorises the Customer to sell the Goods as its fiduciary agent. However, the Customer shall not represent to any third parties that it
is acting in any way for CPS. CPS will not be bound by any agreements with thrid parties to which the Customer is a party. (ii) Records
shall be kept by the Customer of any Goods owned by CPS. (iii)The proceeds of any sale of the Goods shall be paid into a separate
account and held in trust for CPS. The Customer shall account to CPS from this fund for the full price of the Goods. (iv) Where the

received the Customer shall account forthwith to CPS for the price of the Goods.
(v) Should the Customer become deceased, stop payment or call a meeting of its creditors or become insolvent or subject to the
bankruptcy laws or being a company calls a meeting for the purpose of or to go into liquidation or has a winding-up petition
presented against it or has a receiver or administrator appointed, CPS may at its option notwithstanding its waiver of such default or
failure and without prejudice to its other rights under this agreement suspend or cancel this agreement or require payment in cash before
or on delivery or tender of Goods or documents notwithstanding terms of payment previously specified or may repossess and take over
the Goods and dispose of the same in its own interest without prejudice to any claim it may have for damages for any loss resulting
from such resale. (e) In the event that the Customer uses the Goods in some manufacturing or construction process of its own or of
some third party, then the Customer shall hold such part of the proceeds of such manufacturing or construction process as relates to
the Goods in trust for CPS. Such part shall be deemed to equal in dollar terms to the amount owing by the Customer to CPS at the time
of the receipt of such proceeds. (f) If the Customer does not pay for any Goods on the due date then CPS is hereby irrevocably
authorised by the Customer to enter the Customer’s premises or any premises under the control of the Customer as agent of the
Customer and use reasonable force to take possession of the Goods without liability for the tort of trespass, negligence or payment of
any compensation to the Customer whatsoever. (g) On retaking possession of the Goods CPS may elect to refund to the Customer any
part payment that may have been made and to credit the Customer’s account with the value of the Goods less any charge for recovery of
the Goods, or to resell the Goods.

10. Application The person signing this Application personally and on behalf of the Applicant, or where an agreement is in place these
