2.2. The formation of the contract is subject to the correct and timely supply by our suppliers. This term shall only apply if the delay or failure to supply was not due to our default, which includes, but is not limited to, circumstances where our supplier is unable to fulfill the delivery of the Goods to us pursuant to a sub-agreement with our suppliers in respect of the Goods.
