Rejected goods or materials may be returned at your risk and expense.
5. PACKAGING ETC
The price includes all packaging, dunnage, containers and all other things required to protect the goods in transit. Packaging shall be suitable and shall comply with Georgiou’s requirements.

Georgiou reserves the right to cancel the order or any part of it without penalty if you breach any of its terms or conditions, or if you commit any act of bankruptcy or insolvency, deemed or actual.

14. DEFAULT
Georgiou does not pay interest or administration fees on overdue accounts and will not indemnify a supplier for any costs or disbursements incurred by a supplier in recovering debt owed by Georgiou. We do, however, work hard to be the ‘best people to work with’. This means we strive to pay all of our suppliers on time every time.
