1.3 The invalidity or unenforceability for any reason of any part of these Terms and Conditions shall not prejudice or affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder.
1.4 Buyer shall not assign any Contract or any rights hereunder in whole or in part to any third party without the prior written consent of Huntsman.
2 Offers, Orders and Agreements
2.1 Any catalogues, brochures, price-lists and communications cannot be considered as offers and are provided without any commitment from Huntsman, unless otherwise explicitly agreed in writing.
2.2 Huntsman shall be bound only if an order has been accepted in writing by Xxxxxxxx or if Huntsman has started performing the order. Orders are accepted subject to the availability of the Goods.
3 Price and Payment
3.1 Prices are quoted exclusive of all applicable taxes, and are subject to Incoterms 2020, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
3.2 Without prejudice to Huntsman's rights under Clause 9, Huntsman may, prior to delivery, notify Buyer that it has become unusually onerous and/or no longer commercially viable to supply the Goods to Buyer at the price of the Goods first agreed as a result of, among others, shortages or rapid increase in the cost of raw materials, fuel, utilities or transportation beyond the reasonable control of Huntsman. In the event of the aforesaid, Huntsman and Xxxxx shall in good faith mutually review and agree upon a revised price, including delivery cost, of the Goods within thirty (30) calendar days of Huntsman's notification to Buyer, failing which Buyer has the right to terminate the Contract with Huntsman. Xxxxx agrees that it shall not be entitled to claim any damages or other remedy in respect of such termination.
3.3 Payment shall be made in the currency stated on the invoice by transfer to one of the bank accounts identified thereon, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
3.4 Payment shall be due, without deduction or discount within such time period as notified by Huntsman to Buyer.

The setting off or withholding of any payment by Buyer in respect of any claim shall not be allowed unless expressly agreed in writing by Xxxxxxxx.
3.5 Any late payment shall bear interest at a rate of one per cent (1%) per month accrued annually by operation of law and without prior written notice or demand. In addition if any overdue amount is not paid within one (1) week of Buyer's receipt of a written demand for payment, Buyer shall be liable for liquidated damages equal to the costs of collecting the amount due from Buyer including legal costs or ten percent (10%) of said overdue amount, whichever shall be higher.
