In particular, The Company cannot be liable for any financial loss, injury or damage caused to the buyer or any other person caused by any defect in the goods except to the extent that its negligence caused it or contributed thereto. The Company cannot, therefore, be responsible for the negligence of others. Where the buyer sells the Company’s goods as the Company’s agent, he has no authority to make any representations or give any warranties relating to the goods or their fitness for any purpose.

When goods are returned to the Company under these provisions, the Company will credit the buyer’s account with the trade price of the goods provided the goods are in perfect condition. If the goods are damaged the Company will credit at the Company’s estimate of the trade saleable value dependent on the severity of the damage.
