      • Variations. Prior to the fulfilment of the Purchase Order, HammondCare may, by written notice at any time, make variations to the content, specifications, designs or drawings, samples or other descriptions or requirements to which the Items are to conform. If any such variations cause an increase or decrease in the cost of or time required for the performance of any part of the Purchase Order, then an equitable adjustment may be made by agreement between the parties in the price or delivery schedule or both and the Purchase Order will be modified in writing accordingly.
      • Risk, title and delivery.

If any of the Items are found by HammondCare to be defective or not in conformity with the requirements under the Purchase Order, HammondCare may at its option a) reject and return the Items at the Supplier’s expense or b) require the Supplier to replace the non-conforming Items with items that conform with the Purchase Order. HammondCare will have no payment obligation in respect of Items which are not accepted.

        3.2 The Supplier will supply the Items by the Delivery Date. In the event that the Supplier fails to deliver the Items by the Delivery Date, HammondCare shall be entitled, at its election, to:

        a) terminate the PO with immediate effect; or
