TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE

These terms and conditions of sale ("Terms") are entered into between the Vendor and the Purchaser as stated in the Purchase Order Form (to which these Terms are attached) and govern the sale of the products as stated in the Purchase Order Form ("Products") to the Purchaser.

 

  1. FORMATION OF CONTRACT

1.1          A contract is formed by the Vendor accepting the order from the Purchaser for the Products by signing the Order Form or giving written acknowledgement to the Purchaser of acceptance of the order.

1.2          The Vendor may decline to accept the order and not sign the Order Form, without giving any reasons to the Purchaser.

1.3          If the Vendor does not accept the order, the Vendor must:

(a)          refund any Deposit paid by the Purchaser for the Products to the Purchaser; and

(b)          return any Trade-in provided by the Purchaser, to the

Purchaser. If the Vendor has already sold the Trade-in, the Vendor must refund to the Purchaser the cash equivalent of the value of the Trade-in as determined when it was provided by the Purchaser.

1.4          The Customer Purchase Order Form and these Terms form the entire agreement between the parties in connection with the sale of the Products ("Contract") and any representation, undertaking or warranty made by the Vendor or its agent (unless recorded and confirmed by the Vendor in writing) is cancelled and withdrawn and shall not apply to the sale.

1.5          Notwithstanding the terms and conditions herein, the Purchaser making full payment or part payment, providing a Trade-in to the Vendor, providing instructions in relation to supply or giving verbal or written agreement to accept the Products, goods and/or services shall all constitute acceptance of the terms and conditions herein and the Contract.

  1. PRODUCTS

The Purchaser acknowledges that the Products are each  described in general terms only and may incorporate such structural and cosmetic design (including colour, trim and style) and mechanical alterations or modifications as are from time to time made by the respective manufacturers thereof in accordance with their policies of altering, modifying and up-dating their products or as are made to comply with legal  requirements or to meet applicable design rules or standards. Any specifications, drawings and particulars provided by the Vendor to a Purchaser are approximate only, with any descriptions, illustrations and performance figures not forming part of any Contract, with any performance figures given by the Vendor being estimates only, with the Vendor not being liable for any loss or damage arising from a failure of any goods supplied to attain such performance unless specifically guaranteed in writing, and where such performance is guaranteed in writing, it is guaranteed subject to the recognised tolerances applicable to such figures.

 

  1. PRICE

3.1          Subject to this clause, the purchase price payable by the Purchaser for the Products is the total amount specified in the Contract ("Purchase Price").

3.2          Unless otherwise stated, an amount payable by the Purchaser under these Terms is exclusive of GST and other applicable taxes and duties.

3.3          Subject to clause 3.4 and 3.5, the Purchase Price may be varied by an amount necessary to take account of any increase or decrease in the cost of the Products or any items forming part of the Products (including as a result of any change in currency exchange rates or any tax, levy or duty payable) affecting the cost of supply, production or delivery of the Products between the date of Vendor's acceptance of the Contract and the date of delivery of the Products to the Purchaser.

3.4          The Vendor must give the Purchaser reasonable notice of the variation in the Purchaser Price in clause 3.3.

3.5          Except for an increase or decrease in the cost of the Products or any items forming part of the Products as a result of a change in a law, clause 3.3 only applies to Products that are not part of the Vendor's existing stocks as at the date of the Contract.

3.6          The Vendor shall be entitled to set off and deduct any money owing to the Purchaser against any amount owing to the Vendor.

 

  1. DELIVERY

4.1          The parties shall agree to the manner and date on which the Products shall be delivered to the Purchaser ("Delivery Date").

4.2          The Delivery Date is intended only as an estimate and the Vendor shall not be liable for the consequences of any delay however arising and the Purchaser acknowledges that the Vendor will not accept any liability for any claims for losses arising from its failure to deliver the Products on the Delivery Date, or arising from late delivery, non-delivery or late installation or non-installation of the Products. The Purchaser will accept the Products when delivered and pay the balance of the Purchase Price at the date of delivery notwithstanding any such delayed or defective deliveries. The Vendor may at its options provide the Products to the Purchaser in any number of instalments. If the Vendor delivers any Products by instalments, and any one of those instalments is defective for any reason, then it is not a repudiation of the whole of the order and the defective instalment is a severable breach.

4.3          Where the Vendor is dependent upon other manufacturers or suppliers to provide the Products to enable the Vendor to deliver the Products to the Purchaser, the Vendor is under no liability to the Purchaser for the failure of the manufacturer or supplier to provide the Products.

4.4          Where the Products are available and due for delivery by the Vendor and the Purchaser fails to take or accept the same when required to do so under these Terms, delivery shall be deemed to have been made on the date the Vendor was willing and able to effect delivery and the Purchaser authorises the Vendor to leave the Products at the Delivery Address whether or not any person is present to accept delivery. Any costs incurred by the Vendor due to the Purchaser's failure to accept the Products at the time of their delivery shall be reimbursed by the Purchaser to the Vendor on demand.

4.5          The Vendor is not obliged to obtain a  signed acknowledgement of delivery from any person at the Delivery Address, but if they do so and the Vendor believes the person was authorised to sign on the Purchaser's behalf, then such signed acknowledgement is conclusive evidence of the Purchaser's acceptance of the Products.

4.6          The Vendor reserves the right to make a reasonable charge to the Purchaser for storage of Products if delivery instructions are not provided by the Purchaser or the Purchaser fails to collect the Products within 14 days of a request by the Vendor for the same. The parties agree that the Vendor may charge for storage from the first day after the Vendor requests the Purchaser to provide delivery instructions or collect the Products.

 

  1. PAYMENT

5.1          The Vendor may require a Deposit to be paid by the Purchaser by a date and of an amount determined by the Vendor.

5.2          The balance of the Purchase Price is to be paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor upon delivery of the Products, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

5.3          If the Purchaser fails to make a payment by a due date, it shall be liable to pay to the Vendor default interest at a rate which is 10% higher than the unsecured overdraft rate promulgated from time to time by the National Australia Bank Limited, calculated on a daily basis from the date upon which the amount is payable in accordance with these terms until the date upon which the amount and all accrued interest is received as cleared funds by the Vendor.

5.4          Receipt of any cheque or other bill of exchange shall not comprise payment for the Products until the same has been honoured or cleared.

 

  1. TITLE AND RISK

6.1          Notwithstanding that title in the Products may remain with the Vendor, the risk of any loss, damage or deterioration of or to the Products shall pass to the Purchaser from the time of actual delivery of the Products to the Purchaser or a representative, agent, employee or contractor of the Purchaser or where the Products are left at the Delivery Address in accordance with clause 4.4.

6.2          Title to the Products shall not pass (and the Purchaser upon receipt of the same shall be bailee only) until the Purchaser has paid to the Vendor the balance of the Purchase Price owing in full. 6.3 While title to the Products remains with the Vendor:

(a)          the Purchaser must advise the Vendor immediately of any action by third parties (including any of its creditors) affecting the Vendor's interest in the Products;

(b)          the Vendor may require the Purchaser to return the Products to it on demand; and

(c)           the Vendor may enter upon the Site to inspect or repossess the Products, and the Purchaser agrees to fully indemnify the Vendor, its directors, officers, agents and employees from any action, suit, claim, demand or damage howsoever arising in connection with the Vendor or Vendor’s agent exercising the Vendor’s right of entry pursuant to this clause.

6.4          Ownership, property and title to any repairs or additions to the Products that are made before title in the Products vests in the Purchaser shall be subsumed in the Vendor's ownership, property and title in the Products and any such repairs or additions shall become subject to the Security Interest.

6.5          The Vendor may apply any payments received from or on behalf of the Purchaser in reduction of the total amount owing in such order and manner as the Vendor thinks fit (despite any direction to the contrary and whether before or after the Purchaser has breached these Terms).

6.6          If the Purchaser resells or uses the Products before title to the Products has passed to the Purchaser, the Security Interest attaches to the proceeds of such sale or use and such proceeds shall be received and held by the Purchaser (in whatever form) in trust in a separate account for both the Purchaser and the Vendor. The Vendor's interest as beneficiary under that trust shall be all monies owing to the Vendor including but not limited to the balance of the Purchase Price, and any interest calculated pursuant to clause 5.3 and costs occasioned by the Purchaser’s default. The balance of the proceeds (if any) shall be the Purchaser's beneficial interest under that trust.

 

  1. PPSA

7.2          The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Vendor is entitled to register a financing statement on the Personal Property Securities Register against the Purchaser and the Products in accordance with the PPSA.

7.3          The Purchaser:

(b)          undertakes not to register a financing change statement or make an amendment demand pursuant to section 178 of the PPSA in respect of the Vendor’s registration;

 (c)          agrees that the following provisions of the PPSA will not apply and the Purchaser will have no rights under them: section 95 (to the extent that it requires the secured party to give notices to the grantor); section 121(4); section 125; sections 129(2) and (3); section 132; section 142 and section 143;

(d)          agrees to keep all information of the kind mentioned in section 275(1) of the PPSA confidential and will not authorise the disclosure of such information except in accordance with section 275(7);

(e)          waives its right under section 157 of the PPSA to receive notice of any verification statement relating to the registration of any financing statement or any related financing change statement;

(f)           agrees that the Vendor is required to give a notice under the PPSA only if the notice is obligatory and the giving of the notice cannot be excluded under the PPSA, and the Purchaser waives any rights to receive any notices unless they are required to be given and cannot be excluded; and

(g)          agrees to notify the Vendor in writing of any change to the Purchaser’s details provided in the Order Form or otherwise previously provided to the Vendor.

9.3          With respect to any Implied Term not permitted to be excluded by law, to the extent permitted by law, the liability of the Vendor shall be limited to, at the Vendor's option:
