No variation to these Conditions is permitted unless expressly authorised in writing by a director of Brimal Components (the Company).

Prices charged will be those prevailing when an order is accepted.

3. Orders
The Company reserves the right to decline to trade with any company or person or to impose reasonable conditions prior to accepting any order (such as, by way of example, the provision of a valid landline phone number or the prior receipt of cleared funds by the Company) where the Company considers it reasonably necessary for security or fraud prevention purposes.
