3.1 All Quotes are valid for 30 days only. The Price shall be exclusive of any applicable value added tax.

3.2 The Seller reserves the right, by giving notice to the Buyer at any time before delivery, to increase the Price to reflect any increase which is due to a factor beyond the control of the Seller such as, without limitation, any foreign exchange fluctuation, alteration of duties, significant increase in the costs of labour or materials, any change in delivery dates, quantities or specifications for the Goods which is requested by the Buyer or any delay caused by any instruction of the Buyer or failure of the Buyer to give the Seller adequate information or instructions.

3.3 The seller will inform the buyer of any additional work required in order for an appropriate release document to be issued.
