2.4 Each Order by Mawdsleys to the Supplier shall be an offer to purchase Deliverables subject to these Conditions.

6.6 If Mawdsleys fails to accept delivery of the Goods on the date or within the period set out in the Order, the Supplier shall store and insure the Goods pending delivery, and Mawdsleys shall pay reasonable storage charges.
