7.2           Where we do not comply with the time limit under clause 7.3, and the delay in a delivery leaving warehouse arises from something under our control , and the delay under our control causes an increase (or further increase) on our website posted corresponding price under clause 7.1, the product price applying thereunder we invoice to your will be discounted to remove that element of price prejudice to you,

7.5           We are not responsible for delays outside our control. If our supply of the products is delayed by an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay.
