5.2 We will supply the Goods to you in accordance with the specification for the Goods appearing on the Site at the date of your Order in all material respects.
5.3 We warrant to you that the Goods will be new (unless expressly advertised as being second hand), free from material defects, and of merchantable quality. We also warrant that we have the right to sell and transfer title in the Goods to you.

We may engage third party couriers to effect delivery of the Goods. We will use all reasonable endeavours to meet any delivery dates specified in the Order Confirmation, but any such dates are estimates only and we do give any assurance that they will be met. Failure to deliver the Goods by such dates will not give you the right to terminate the Contract or make any claim for loss, damages or costs.

Our couriers may contact you via SMS prior to delivery to provide you with different delivery options, including giving ‘authority to leave’ the item at the Delivery Location, or have delivery re-routed to a collection point. Alternatively, the courier may leave a card requesting your instructions on either re-delivery or collection from the carrier or a collection point.

If the courier deems the Delivery Location unsafe in their discretion, the Goods will be redirected to a collection point, redelivered in the next delivery run (where available) or returned back to us. If delivery or collection is delayed through your unreasonable refusal to accept delivery or if you do not (within two weeks of our first attempt to deliver the Goods to you) accept delivery or collect the Goods from the courier, then we may (without affecting any other right or remedy available to us) do either or both of the following:
(a) charge you for our reasonable storage fees and other costs reasonably incurred by us; or
(b) no longer make the Goods available for delivery or collection, and notify you that we are cancelling the applicable Contract, in which case we will refund to you any money paid to us (subject to clause 4), less our reasonable administration charges (including for attempting to deliver and then returning the Goods, and any storage fees and other costs).
5.7 It may not be possible for us to deliver to some locations. If we are unable to deliver to the Delivery Location which you nominate, we will inform you on Site, or alternatively use the contact details that you provide to us when you make your Order and arrange for cancellation of the Order or delivery to an alternative delivery address.
5.8 All risk in Goods passes to you upon delivery. If delivery is delayed, risk passes at the date when delivery would have occurred. From the time when risk passes to you, we will not be liable for loss or destruction of the Goods.

5.10 We are not required to supply any Goods if and for so long as you are in breach of your obligations under the Contract. In such case, we will not be responsible for any losses, damages or costs you sustain or incur arising directly or indirectly from our failure or delay in supplying the Goods.
