7.3 When We or Our suppliers have insufficient stock to deliver the Goods You have ordered or such goods have been discontinued We reserve the right to provide substitute Goods to You of equivalent quality and price at Our discretion instead of exercising Our right to cancel in condition 7.1.1 above.
