2. Basis of the Sale

1. All Contracts between Sitemorse and a Customer shall be governed by these Conditions (and, where applicable, any other terms and conditions pursuant to Clause 1.3) to the exclusion of any other terms and conditions not accepted in writing by an Authorised Representative of Sitemorse, including without limit any terms on or referred to in any Customer purchase order. In the case of orders placed by Electronic Means which refer to any terms and conditions of the Customer Sitemorse's automatic taking on to its system of such order shall amount to a rejection of the Customer's terms and conditions and an offer to supply the Products ordered on the basis of these Conditions. No variation to these Conditions shall be binding unless agreed by letter and signed by an Authorised Representative of Sitemorse. It is the Customer's responsibility to be aware of the Conditions as current from time to time but Sitemorse will use best efforts to notify the Customer of any material changes to the Conditions before they become applicable. The Customer's acceptance of these Conditions shall also be made (in respect of the first Contract and all subsequent Contracts) either by (1) Customer providing a purchase order to Sitemorse or (2) Customer accepting Products or Services from Sitemorse, whichever occurs first.
2. No employee or agent of Sitemorse other than an Authorised Representative has any authority to make any representation at all concerning Products or Services and an Authorised Representative has no authority to make such representation other than by letter (an "authorised representation") and accordingly the Customer agrees that in entering into any Contract it does not rely on any unauthorised representation and the Customer agrees it shall have no remedy in respect of any unauthorised representation (unless made fraudulently).

3. Customer Identification

1. In placing an order including by Electronic Means the Customer may utilise one or a combination of account names, account numbers and other forms of identification, including password or other code issued to the Customer (together and individually "Customer's Identification" or "Customer Identification").
2. It is the Customer's responsibility to keep the Customer's Identification confidential. Customer has the sole responsibility for its Customer Identification. Customer shall immediately inform Sitemorse in case of loss of password or in case of any abuse or attempted abuse of Customer password or other Customer Identification. Customer agrees that the Customer is entirely responsible for use of the Customer's Identification and that it is the Customer's responsibility to have in place security measures and procedures to ensure use of its Customer Identification only by authorised personnel for authorised purposes.
3. Customer agrees that Sitemorse is entitled to rely absolutely on any orders placed on Sitemorse which have utilised Customer's Identification and to deliver as directed by such orders and to invoice and be paid in respect of such orders.
4. Customer agrees that any order placed on Sitemorse.com including by Electronic Means mentioning or utilising Customer's Identification is a valid and binding purchase order and shall be deemed to be a duly authorised act of the Customer.
5.

6. When Customer obtained Customer Identification from Sitemorse, it was represented to Sitemorse that it was obtained by a legitimate employee or representative of the Customer that deals with Sitemorse.

Customer also agrees to notify Sitemorse immediately at any time that information ceases to be accurate and complete.
