If the Purchaser shall fail to comply with the foregoing the Goods shall be conclusively presumed to be in accordance with the Contract and free from any defect in materials or workmanship or damage which would be apparent on a reasonable examination of the Goods and the Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Goods. If the Purchaser establishes to Optom Shop Ltd’s reasonable satisfaction that the Goods are not in accordance with the Contract or there is any defect in materials or workmanship, the Purchaser's sole remedy in respect thereof shall be limited as Optom Shop Ltd may elect, to making good any shortage, to replacing such Goods or refunding all, or part of, the Contract price against return of the Goods. 8. FORCE MAJEURE - Optom Shop Ltd shall not be liable for failure to deliver the Goods or supply the Services for any reason whatsoever outside the reasonable control of Optom Shop Ltd including, without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, industrial action, war, governmental action, or regulation, act of God, riots or non-availability of stocks or materials and any delays by third party manufacturers in supplying any parts or materials. Any such failure shall not affect the obligation of the Purchaser to pay for Goods already delivered or Services already supplied. 9. WARRANTY - Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, the warranty on the Goods is as stated in the Product Literature, save that where no Product Literature is provided, Optom Shop Ltd warrants that it will provide, for the replacement or repair, at its option of defective materials and defective workmanship in the Goods (which would not have been apparent on a reasonable examination of the Goods on delivery) for a period of twelve months from the date of purchase. The standard RTB warranty will be invalidated in the event that a third party (other than a repair agent authorised by Optom Shop Ltd) or the Purchaser attempts repairs on the Goods. Optom Shop Ltd warrants that the Goods will be fit for any use attributed to them by good medical practice and not for any other use.
