If the Supplier amends these Terms or the terms of any invoice, such amendments will only take effect in relation to orders for Goods that the Client makes following the date on which the Client was notified of the change.

 

2.2 These Terms may only be amended with the parties’ consent in writing, and shall prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with any other document or agreement between the Client and the Supplier, including any terms and conditions contained in the Client’s purchase orders or other documents.

 

  1. Change in Control

3.1 The Client must advise the Supplier within five (5) days if it ceases trading, commences trading through a different entity, or if there is a material change in its ownership or control. The Client shall be liable for any direct loss incurred by the Supplier as a result of the Client’s failure to comply with this clause.

 

  1. Price and Payment

4.1 The Price shall be either:

(a) the Supplier’s quoted price (subject to clause 4.2) which will be valid for the period stated in the quotation or otherwise for a period of thirty (30) days from the date the quotation is provided; or

(a) if a variation to the Goods or Services (including any variation to the Client’s brief or specifications) is requested by the Client;
(b) where additional Goods or Services are agreed by the parties to be required due to unforeseen circumstances which are only discovered during the provision of the Services;
(c) in the event of increases to the Supplier in the cost of labour or materials which are beyond the Supplier’s control (including, but not limited to, any variation as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates or increases to the Supplier in the cost of taxes, levies, import or export tariffs, or inaccurate structural measurements provided by the Client); or

4.3 The Supplier may require that the Client make payment of a deposit of up to fifty percent (50%) of the Price, which will be included in any quotation provided by the Supplier to the Client for the Goods. Save for clause 16.1, such deposit will be non-refundable, to the extent permitted by law.

(a) on delivery of the Goods; or

In addition to the Price the Client must pay to the Supplier an amount equal to any GST the Supplier must pay for any supply by the Supplier under this or any other agreement for the sale of the Goods. The Client must pay GST, without deduction or set off of any other amounts, at the same time and on the same basis as the Client pays the Price. In addition, the Client must pay any other taxes and duties that may be applicable in addition to the Price except where they are expressly included in the Price.

 

  1. Delivery of Goods

5.1 Delivery of the Goods is taken to occur at the time that the Supplier (or the Supplier’s nominated carrier) delivers the Goods to the Client’s nominated address.

 

5.2 In addition to the Price, the Supplier shall be entitled to payment by the Client for any delivery costs and charges reasonably incurred by the Supplier in delivering or attempting to deliver the Goods.

 

5.3 The Client must take delivery by receipt or collection of the Goods whenever they are tendered for delivery. The Client shall provide the Supplier with such access to its sites as is necessary to enable the Supplier to deliver the Goods, provided that the Supplier shall not unreasonably interfere with any on-site activities.

5.5 Where the Goods are delivered in a clear heat-sealed bag, no returns of the Goods will be accepted if the heat-sealed bag has been opened or damaged, save for circumstances where the Goods are Defective.

 

5.6 The Client acknowledges that any delivery date is an estimate only and that, whilst the Supplier will take all reasonable steps to deliver the Goods on or before the estimated delivery date, due to external factors beyond the Supplier’s reasonable control, the Supplier cannot warrant nor represent that the Goods will be delivered on the estimated delivery date.

 

5.7 To the extent permitted by law, the Supplier will not be liable for any loss, damage or delay occasioned to the Client arising from late or non-delivery of the Goods, except in cases of gross negligence or wilful misconduct by the Supplier, nor shall the Client be entitled to treat these Terms between the Supplier and the Client as repudiated if Goods are not delivered on or before the estimated delivery date.

 

  1. Risk

6.1 Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods passes to the Client on Delivery, and the Client must insure the Goods on or before Delivery.

 

6.2 If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed following delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Client, the Supplier is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Goods. The production of these terms and conditions by the Supplier is sufficient evidence of the Supplier’s rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with the Supplier to make further enquiries.

 

6.3 The Client warrants that the structure of the premises or equipment in or upon which these Goods are to be installed or erected is sound and will sustain the installation and work incidental thereto and the Supplier shall not be liable for any claims, demands, losses, damages, costs and expenses howsoever caused or arising should the premises or equipment be unable to accommodate the installation.

 

6.4 Where the contract does not include installation of Goods by the Supplier, the Supplier shall not be liable for any defect or damage resulting from incorrect or faulty installation.

 

6.5 Any advice, recommendation, information, assistance or service provided by the Supplier in relation to Goods or Services supplied is given in good faith, is based on the Supplier’s own knowledge and experience and shall be accepted without liability on the part of the Supplier and it shall be the responsibility of the Client to confirm the accuracy and reliability of same in light of the use to which the Client makes or intends to make of the Goods or Services.

7.2 The Supplier shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of any plans, specifications and other information provided by the Client.

 

7.3 If the giving of an estimate or quotation for the supply of Goods involves the Supplier estimating measurements and quantities, it shall be the responsibility of the Client to verify the accuracy of the Supplier’s estimated measurements and quantities, before the Client places an order based on such estimate or accepts such quotation or on signed shop-approved drawings.

 

7.4 Should the Client require any changes to the Supplier’s estimated measurements and quantities, the Client shall request such changes in writing. In the case of an estimate, such notification shall be made before placing an order based on that estimate; and in the case of a quotation, before acceptance of that quotation.

 

  1. Specifications of the Goods

8.1 Where the Supplier gives advice or recommendations to the Client, or the Client’s agent, with specific instructions regarding the use of the Goods and such advice or recommendations are not acted upon then the Supplier shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for any damages or losses arising out of or in connection with the Client’s failure to act upon the Supplier’s advice or recommendations, that occur after any subsequent purchase of the Goods.

 

8.2 The Client acknowledges that:
(a) all descriptive specifications, illustrations, drawings, data, dimensions and weights stated in the Supplier’s fact sheets, price lists or advertising material, are approximate only and are given by way of identification only. The Client shall not be entitled to rely on such information, and any use of such does not constitute a sale by description, and does not form part of the contract, unless expressly stated as such in writing by the Supplier;
(b) while the Supplier may have provided information or figures to the Client regarding the performance of the Goods, the Client acknowledges that the Supplier has given these in good faith, and are estimates which are variable due to factors out of the Supplier’s control.

 

8.3 The Client shall be responsible for ensuring that the Goods ordered are suitable for their intended use.

11.5 The Client agrees that it will not enter into any agreement which permits any other person to register any Security Interest in respect of the unpaid Goods, the proceeds of sale of the unpaid Goods, or any accounts owed in respect of the unpaid Goods without the Supplier’s prior written consent and until the Supplier has perfected its PMSI.
