3.1 Unless otherwise instructed in writing by ADPCR's nominated representative, all Goods must be delivered and all Services must be performed at the time and place specified in the Contract. The Supplier shall supply ADPCR with details of the anticipated lead times between placing a Purchase Order and delivery of any Goods and the Supplier shall keep ADPCR informed of progress. Time shall be of the essence in relation to the performance of any and all of the Supplier's obligations pursuant to the Contract. The Supplier shall notify ADPCR if any delivery or performance is likely to be delayed beyond the specified date. Failure by the Supplier to notify any likely delay shall entitle ADPCR to terminate without liability for all or part of the Contract and/or to compensation for any Losses suffered by ADPCR.
3.2 The Supplier shall ensure that: (a) all Goods are properly packed and secured in such manner as to enable them to reach their destination in good condition; (b) all deliveries of Goods are accompanied by a delivery note which shows the date of the Purchase Order, the Purchase Order number (if any), the type and quantity of the Goods being delivered (including the code number of the Goods, where applicable), special storage instructions (if any) and, if the Goods are being delivered by instalments, the outstanding balance of Goods remaining to be delivered; and (c) if the Supplier requires ADPCR to return any packaging material to the Supplier, that fact is clearly stated on the delivery note.

Where it is agreed that Goods are to be delivered in instalments, they may (at ADPCR's option) be invoiced and paid for separately. However, failure by the Supplier to deliver any one instalment on time or at all or any defect in an instalment shall entitle ADPCR to the remedies set out in clause 7 of these Conditions (without prejudice to ADPCR's other rights and remedies).
