- Orders for catalogue-listed products may only be changed or cancelled at our discretion, in which case a restocking charge of 30% of the price will be payable.
- Nonacus may require payment up front in certain circumstances.
- Nonacus retains all rights in the deliverables (which includes data we produce) until the invoice is paid.
- ‘Customer’ means the named party in the Contract which has agreed to purchase the Deliverables from Nonacus and whose contact details are set out in the Order.
- If you wish to use the GALEAS Software Services in combination with our GALEAS reagent kit, you will be asked to accept the GALEAS ‘Terms of Use’ when first registering for this service. By signing these standards terms and conditions, you agree to be bound by the ‘Terms of Use’ as published on our website at the point of use of service.

10.3.2 such notice specifies that some or all of the Deliverables do not comply with clause 10.1 and identifying in sufficient detail the nature and extent of the defects; and
