1. BASIS OF CONTRACT

The Order constitutes an offer by the Customer to purchase Goods and/or Services in accordance with these Conditions of Sale, Supplier Quotation and any other document referred to in that Quotation to form the Contract between Supplier and Customer.

The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all previous communications, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter of the Contract. The Customer acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise, representation, assurance or warranty made or given by or on behalf of the Supplier that is not set out in the Contract.

The Supplier Conditions of Sales apply to the exclusion of any other agreement or conditions of purchase or other terms that the Customer may submit with an Order or otherwise to the Supplier. For the avoidance of doubt, any terms or conditions contained in, issued with or printed on any order (including the Order), letter of acceptance or the like issued by the Customer do not form part of the Contract and are of no effect whatsoever. The Supplier may amend these Conditions at any time at its discretion.

Any samples, drawings, descriptive matter or advertising issued by the Supplier and any descriptions of the Goods or illustrations or descriptions of the Services contained in the Supplier’s catalogues or brochures are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Services and/or Goods described in them. They shall not form part of the Contract or have any contractual force.

All of these Conditions shall apply to the supply of both Goods and Services except where application to one or the other is specified. Special terms may apply in respect of software support services and/or other specific services if agreed between the parties (Special Terms).

Prices are subject to changes, the Price applies to the scope of supply specified or referenced by the Client. Any changes to the scope of supply requires written approval by both parties. The Supplier may by written notice increase the Price (including all prices specified in any Schedule of Rates) once per annum on the anniversary of the agreement, by increases in the CPI (all groups, eight capital cities) since the later of the date of the Suppliers submission and the last CPI increase.

2. VALIDITY

Any quotation given by the Supplier shall not constitute an offer capable of acceptance until confirmed in writing by the Supplier. It is only valid for a period of 30 days from the date of issue unless the Supplier agrees in writing to extend that period.

3. CHARGES

The price for the Goods shall be the price set out in the valid quotation. The price of the Goods is exclusive of all costs and charges of packaging, insurance, transport of the Goods, unless specifically quoted.

The charges for Services shall be on a time and materials basis as agreed between the Customer and Supplier prior to any Services bring provided:

a) The charges shall by calculated in accordance with the Supplier’s standard daily fee rates, as set out in the quotation;
b) The number of hours in one working day shall be 10 hours or as otherwise agreed in writing between the Customer and Supplier;
c) If the number of agreed hours is exceeded, the Supplier shall be entitled to charge overtime rates on a pro-rata basis for each part day or for any time worked by individuals whom it engages on the Services outside the hours as follows:

  1. An addition 100% on the standard daily fee rate for work carried out on week days or week nights (Monday to Friday).
  2. An addition 100% on the standard daily fee rate for work carried out on Saturday or Sunday.

The Supplier shall be entitled to charge the Customer for any expenses reasonably incurred by the individuals whom the Supplier engages in connection with the Services including, but not limited to, travelling expenses, hotel costs, subsistence and any associated expenses, and for the cost of services provided by third parties and required by the Supplier for the performance of the Services, and for the cost of any materials.

4. PAYMENTS

In respect of Goods and/or Services, the Supplier shall invoice the Customer on or at any time after completion of delivery or the Goods and/or Services.

The Customer shall pay each invoice submitted by the Supplier:

(a) within 30 days of the date of the invoice;
(b) in full and in cleared funds to a bank account nominated in writing by the Supplier; and
(c) time for payment shall be of the essence of the Contract.

The price for the Goods and/or charges for the Services shall be inclusive of all taxes in connection with the supply of the Goods and/or Services imposed in the country of Supplier (excluding GST (or any sales or value added tax or goods and services tax or the like), which will be added to the price for the Goods or charges for the Services). The Customer shall be responsible for all taxes in connection with the supply of Goods and/or Services imposed in the country of the Customer (if different country from that of Supplier) and shall reimburse Supplier accordingly.

If the Customer fails to make any payment due to the Supplier under the Contract by the due date for payment, then the Customer shall pay interest on the overdue amount. The interest rate shall be the rate of overdraft facilities for that amount of moneys determined by the Westpac Banking Corporation on the date the moneys become outstanding plus 3%. Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. The Customer shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount.

The Customer shall pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any set-off, counterclaim, deduction or withholding except as required by law. The Supplier may, without limiting its other rights or remedies, set off any amount owing to it by the Customer against any amount payable by the Supplier to the Customer.

5. DELIVERY OF GOODS

Delivery of the Goods shall be completed on fulfilment of the Supplier’s obligation under the INCOTERM referred to in the quotation. In absence of a written agreement the Goods are made available EXW (Ex Works) under INCOTERMS 2010.

Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods are approximate only and the time of delivery is not of the essence. The Supplier shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods that is caused by a Force Majeure Event or the Customer’s failure to provide the Supplier with adequate delivery instructions or any other instructions that are relevant to the supply of the Goods.

If the Customer fails to accept or take delivery of the Goods within 7 Business Days of the Supplier notifying the Customer that the Goods are ready, then except where such failure or delay is caused by a Force Majeure Event or by the Supplier’s failure to comply with its obligations under the Contract in respect of the Goods:

a) delivery of the Goods shall be deemed to have been completed at 9:00 am on the 10th Business Day following the day on which the Supplier notified the Customer that the Goods were ready and the Supplier shall be entitled to raise an invoice in respect of the Goods deemed delivered; and
b) the Supplier shall store the Goods until delivery takes place, and charge the Customer for all related costs and expenses (including, without limitation, insurance, unloading and additional transportation). The Supplier shall have the right to charge at least 0.5% of the invoiced value of the stored Goods monthly for storage at the Supplier’s premises. If storage at third party’s premises is required, the costs incurred shall be borne by the Customer.

If 28 Business Days after the Supplier notified the Customer that the Goods were ready for delivery the Customer has not accepted delivery of them, the Supplier may resell or otherwise dispose of part or all of the Goods and, after deducting reasonable storage and selling costs, charge the Customer for any shortfall below the price of the Goods for which the Customer will be liable to pay as a debt immediately due and payable.

Delivery shall in every case be deemed to be delivered to the Customer and accepted by Customer, whether or not the Customer is present at the time of delivery to sign a receipt for such goods.

6. PACKAGING

Where goods need packing for transportation, that packing will be suitable for transportation of the goods by road. Special packing such as fumigated cases will only be provided where quoted and ordered.

7. QUALITY OF GOODS

The Suppler warrants that on delivery, and for a period of 12 months from the date of delivery (Warranty Period) the Goods shall conform in all material respects with their description and be free from material Defects in design, material and workmanship (the Warranty).

The Customer must give notice in writing during the warranty period, within a reasonable time of discovery that some or all of the Goods do not comply with the Warranty. The Supplier must be given a reasonable opportunity of examining such Goods. The Customer (if asked to do so by the Supplier) must return such Goods to the Supplier’s place of business at the Customer’s cost for testing. If in the reasonable opinion of the Supplier, the Goods do not comply with the Warranty, the Supplier shall, at its option, repair or replace the defective Goods, or refund the price of the defective Goods in full and refund the costs of returning the Goods to the Supplier.

Despite any provision to the contrary, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Supplier shall not be liable for any defect in the Goods if:

a) the Customer makes any further use of such Goods after giving a notice in accordance with clause 7.
b) the defect arises because the Customer failed to follow the Supplier’s instructions as to the storage, installation, commissioning, use or maintenance of the Goods or (if there are none) good trade practice;
c) the defect arises as a result of the Supplier following any drawing, design or Goods Specification supplied by the Customer;
d) the Customer alters or repairs (or engages a third party to alter or repair) such Goods without the written consent of the Supplier;
e) the defect arises as a result of fair wear and tear, wilful damage, negligence, or abnormal working conditions; or
f) the Customer has failed to make payment in full for the Goods.

Any warranties (or guarantees) that may be implied by any laws are excluded to the extent permitted by law. However, nothing herein shall limit those provisions of the Australian Consumer Law or other applicable laws which imply warranties (or guarantees) which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified. If these laws apply then to the extent Supplier is entitled to do so, its liability under those provisions is limited at its option in the case of Goods to replacement or repair of the Goods (or paying the cost of doing so) and in the case of Services to resupply of the Services (or payment of the cost of doing so).

If the Customer is acquiring Goods or Services as a “consumer” as defined in the Australian Consumer Law, then the following mandatory consumer guarantee text applies subject to the above paragraph:

Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failure with the service, you are entitled:

  • to cancel your services with us; and
  • to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value.

You are also entitled to choose a refund or replacement for major failures with goods. If a failure with the goods or services does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have the failure rectified in a reasonable time. If this is not done you are entitled to a refund for the goods and to cancel the contract for the service and obtain a refund for any unused portion. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage from a failure in the goods or services.

8. TITLE AND RISK

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer on delivery in accordance with the INCOTERM referred to in the Quotation (in the absence of written agreement to the contrary) or, if none are specified, when the Goods are passed to a carrier for delivery irrespective of any duties which the Supplier may have undertaken with regard to packing, delivery, erection, installation or assembly.

Title, interest and all right to the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the earlier of the Supplier receiving payment in full (in cleared funds) for the Goods and any other goods and services that the Supplier has supplied to the Customer, in which case title to the Goods shall pass at the time of payment of all such sums.

The Customer hereby acknowledges that the Contract constitutes a security agreement which creates a security interest in favour of the Supplier in all goods or services supplied by the Supplier to the Customer (if any) and all after acquired goods and/or services supplied by the Supplier to the Customer (or for the Customer’s account) to secure the Customer’s payment obligations to the Supplier from time to time and at any time, including future advances. The Customer agrees that this security interest constitutes a “Purchase Money Security Interest” under the PPSA . The Supplier may register its “Purchase Money Security Interest” under the PPSA. The Customer must provide the Supplier with all reasonable assistance to enable the Supplier register its interest under the PPSA and to maintain and perfect its interest.
