                        (ii)    subject to clause 23, terminate the Contract.

10.2    The Consultant may, at their sole discretion, limit or deny access to the Services if, in the judgement of the Consultant, such limitations or denials of access are required to assure the security of the network, the integrity of the network structure, or to prevent damage to the network.

11.3    The Consultant may deliver the Products in separate instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid in accordance with the provisions in these terms and conditions.

11.5    If any of the Products are damaged or destroyed following Delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Client, the Consultant is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Products. The production of these terms and conditions by the Consultant is sufficient evidence of the Consultant’s rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with the Consultant to make further enquiries. 

11.6    If the Client requests the Consultant to leave Products outside the Consultant’s premises for collection or to deliver the Products to an unattended location then such Products shall be left at the Client’s sole risk.
