Orders
Submitting Orders
(a)Every Order by the Customer for the supply of Products must be submitted in writing in the manner required by Frosty Boy from time to time and include such information as Frosty Boy may require, including details of the relevant Products to be ordered (and any applicable product codes) and the Customer’s requested Supply Terms and collection/delivery date.

(c) Once Frosty Boy accepts an Order, then it may advise the Customer of the proposed date that the Products will be ready for collection (or delivery, if agreed by Frosty Boy) and next steps required to progress the Order (for example, payment). To the extent the law permits, any indication in any Order or communication from Frosty Boy of the time frame for the provision of the Products is an estimate only and is not a fixed time frame.

(c) if the Void Term releases Frosty Boy from any legal obligation, Frosty Boy will still be liable to perform that obligation to the extent Frosty Boy either caused or contributed to the event giving rise to the obligation or breached this Agreement or terms implied by law that cannot legally be excluded,
and if the foregoing does not cure the invalidity or unenforceability (or the provision is void or unenforceable for any other reason), this Agreement does not include the provision and the remainder of this Agreement continues in full force.
