2. These Terms and Conditions of Sale shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Ireland and any dispute arising therefrom shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Irish courts. If any provision hereof is held in whole or part to be unenforceable by any court or authority of competent jurisdiction, the validity of the other provisions hereof and the remainder of the provision in question shall not be affected and no waiver by AMO of any breach by the customer of these Terms and Conditions of Sale shall be considered as a waiver of any subsequent or ongoing breach of the same or any other provision.

3. All orders are deemed to have been made by the customer and accepted by AMO upon and subject to these Terms and Conditions of Sale.

4. AMO shall establish the prices to be charged to the customer from time to time as it thinks fit, and shall have the right to adjust the prices for any increase in costs.

5. Any dates and times quoted by AMO for dispatch or delivery of the goods are approximate only and shall not form part of the contract between AMO and the customer. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence.

6. AMO shall not be liable for any delay or failure in the performance of its obligations caused by factors outside its control.

7. AMO warrants that the goods will correspond in all material respects with their specification, be of satisfactory quality and suitable for their intended purpose. Any condition, warranty or other term which might otherwise be implied or incorporated within these Terms and Conditions of Sale by reason of statute or common law or otherwise is hereby excluded to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8. The customer shall inspect the goods immediately upon delivery thereof and any claim by the customer based on any defect in the goods caused by breach of Term 7 shall be notified to AMO in writing forthwith after detection and in any event within 14 days of delivery of the goods. AMO shall be under no liability with regard to any defect in the goods in respect of which the customer has not complied with this provision and the customer shall be bound to pay the price.

9. AMO's liability in contract, tort or otherwise for any loss or damage arising (whether or not from AMO's own negligence) directly or indirectly either out of the supply or the use o  the goods shall be limited to the invoiced value of the goods from which the loss or damage arises. In no circumstances shall AMO be liable for any indirect or consequential loss or damage of any nature or description no matter how arising. The customer shall at all times keep AMO indemnified against any claims for loss, damage, costs, expenses, injury or death to third parties arising (directly or indirectly) out of or concerned with the negligence, breach of duty of care or any other act or omission of the customer in relation to the goods supplied hereunder.

10. All goods supplied shall, notwithstanding delivery and passing of risk, remain the property of AMO until full payment for them is received. Until title to the goods passes to the customer, the relationship between AMO and the customer shall be that of bailor and bailee and the separate identity of these goods shall be maintained by the customer who has the right to pass on ownership of the goods. The proceeds of such sales shall be held by the customer to AMO's account up to the full amount of the purchase price. If payment of sums due to AMO is overdue or if it appears to AMO that the customer is or may be insolvent AMO may enter upon the customer's premises to recover and/or re-sell the goods and the customer hereby authorises AMO to enter its premises to do so.

11. Terms of payment are 30 days from date of invoice. Time for payment shall be of the essence. AMO reserves the right to charge interest on any overdue sums at the rate of 7 per cent per annum above the then current base rate of the European Central Bank from the due date until receipt of payment. If any amount due from the customer is overdue and outstanding, AMO reserves the right to suspend deliveries in whole or part until such amount is paid.

12. On delivery of the goods to the customer, the goods shall be at the customer's risk who should provide insurance against loss or damage.

13. Transfer of Personal Data Abroad. AMO is fully compliant with EU legislation dealing with data protection and the transfer of personal data to third countries. AMO may store personal data with other AMO group companies located outside the European Union. Any such personal data transfer is subject to AMO ensuring equivalent data protection rights to those rights existing in the European Union.

14. In respect of laser vision correction equipment sales, a separate equipment sales agreement is required, and the customer must also enter into a license agreement in respect of the relevant patents before the equipment is shipped. The customer must purchase treatment cards at standard charges from AMO, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
