where the Customer has failed to make payments on time;

The Customer accepts that any terms and conditions contained within its purchase order shall not apply to vary the Agreement.
4.5 The Supplier may deliver the Goods by instalments which shall be invoiced and paid for separately. Each instalment shall constitute a separate contract. Any delay in delivery or defect in an instalment shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any other instalment.
