Subject to the aforesaid, the Seller will make all reasonable endeavours to effect delivery on the date or within the period specified but any such period or date is given and intended as an estimate only. Any delays shall not entitle the Buyer to reject any goods delivered or to be delivered or otherwise to rescind or cancel the Contract or any other agreement with the Seller.

any other cause whatsoever (whether or not of like nature to those specified above) outside the Seller's control, the Seller shall be under no liability whatsoever to the Buyer and shall be entitled at its option either to cancel the Contract or to extend the period or date for delivery.
6. In the absence of any complaints being received by the Seller within 14 days after the date of delivery of the goods and prior to the use, alteration, processing or onward sale of the goods by the Buyer, the goods shall be deemed to have been delivered in accordance with the terms of the Contract and subject as hereinafter provided, the Buyer shall have no recourse whatsoever against the Seller in respect of faults appearing after such period.
