/Terms & Conditions

STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUPPLY (AUSTRALIA)

  1. APPLICATION OF THESE CONDITIONS

These conditions, subject to any variations we agree to in writing, apply to all supplies made by the company specified in the invoice or the contract as the supplier to the entity specified in the invoice or the contract as the purchaser. These conditions, in their present form or as changed, pursuant to these conditions, together with the relevant credit application form (if applicable), invoices and Purchase Orders exchanged between the parties form the contract.

  1. INCONSISTENCIES

Where the supply purports to be made on or subject to terms and conditions other than these conditions, the Purchaser agrees that such other terms and conditions are disregarded and form no part of the Contract unless the Supplier agrees otherwise in writing.

  1. ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that:
3.1 the Supplier’s liability under these conditions falls solely on the Supplier; and

3.2 the obligations the Purchaser accepts and warranties the Purchaser makes are accepted and made for the benefit of the Supplier and all of the Supplier’s related bodies corporate.

  1. ACCEPTANCE OF PURCHASE ORDERS AND FORECASTS

4.1 The Supplier will only accept Purchase Orders which are accompanied by a purchase order number. The Supplier reserves the right to refuse acceptance of any Purchase Order, within 2 working days after receipt. Any quotation given by the Supplier lapses if not accepted by the Purchaser within 30 days.

4.2 If the Purchaser has provided the Supplier with a forecast of future requirements it acknowledges that the Supplier will be entitled to rely on the accuracy of such forecast(s) for the purpose of ordering raw materials and arranging its resources so as to be able to meet those forecast requirements.

4.3 If any such forecast is materially inaccurate the Supplier shall be entitled to invoice the Purchaser for all costs, expenses or losses which result from the Supplier having relied on the inaccurate forecast. Such invoice will be subject to the normal terms of payment applying to the Purchaser.

4.4 In any event, the Supplier shall be entitled to invoice the Purchaser for all finished Goods made to forecast and not ordered by the Purchaser within 3 months of manufacture. Such invoice will be subject to the normal terms of payment applying to the Purchaser.

  1. TERMS OF PAYMENT

Terms of payment are cash with order, COD (if agreed to by the Supplier) unless credit or the use of credit card has been approved by the Supplier. If credit is satisfactorily established, invoices will be paid on or before the last business day in the month following the month of invoice (without deduction or set-off of any kind) unless otherwise agreed to by the Supplier in writing. If use of credit card is approved, then payment is due on the date of invoice. In the event payment is not received by the due date the Supplier reserves the right to charge interest at the 90 day Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate (as quoted on Reuters page BBSY at 10.45am) plus 5% commencing from the due date of payment in respect of all the Purchaser’s indebtedness which is overdue. Any interest so levied shall accrue on a daily basis and shall accrue until all monies owing are paid in full. The Purchaser shall also be liable to pay all expenses, legal costs on a solicitor and own client basis, of the Supplier in relation to obtaining remedy of the failure to comply.

  1. DEFAULT

If the Purchaser defaults in payment, or an application is made to a court to wind up the Purchaser, or a receiver or administrator is appointed to manage the affairs of the Purchaser, or the Purchaser is in material breach of the Contract, then the Supplier may terminate the Contract or any Purchase Order immediately and may recover from the Purchaser, at a minimum, reasonable compensation for materials purchased and ordered and labour expended in complying with the Purchase Orders.

  1. DELIVERY AND RISK

7.1 While the Supplier will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver by the date specified in the Purchase Order, it does not unless otherwise agreed in writing guarantee delivery on that date and is not liable for any Loss resulting from late or early delivery. Delivery of the Goods shall be affected when the Goods are unloaded from the delivery vehicle or placed on the Purchaser’s or the Purchaser’s agent’s nominated carrier. If no date for delivery has been specified, then the Goods shall be supplied to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall receive the Goods as soon as practicable after the Purchase Order has been accepted by the Supplier and the Goods have been manufactured.

7.2 Risk in the Goods passes to the Purchaser at the time of delivery. Delivery to the Purchaser is deemed to occur at the time of delivery to the Purchaser, its agent or carrier.

  1. PASSING OF PROPERTY

8.1 The Supplier’s rights under this clause 8 secure:
a) the Supplier’s right to receive the price of all Goods sold under this Contract;
b) all other amounts owing to the Supplier under this Contract or any other contract.

8.2 All payments received from the Purchaser must be applied in accordance with section 14(6)(c) of the PPSA.

8.3 The Purchaser agrees that legal title and property in the Goods is retained by the Supplier until payment is received in cleared funds from the Purchaser of all sums owing to the Supplier, whether under the Contract or otherwise. The Purchaser must keep the Goods separate from other goods and store the Goods so that they are readily identifiable as those supplied by the Supplier.

8.4 The Purchaser must not sell the Goods except in the ordinary course of the Purchaser’s business.

8.5 If the Purchaser fails to pay by the due date any amount owing to the Supplier, the Supplier may (without prejudice to any of its other rights) recover and resell any of the Goods in which property has not passed to the Purchaser. In addition to any rights the Supplier may have under Chapter 4 of the PPSA, the Supplier may, without notice, enter any premises where it expects the Goods may be located and remove them without committing a trespass, and the Purchaser authorises the Supplier to enter onto the premises where the Goods are kept to take possession of the Goods for that purpose at any time. The Purchaser also indemnifies the Supplier from and against all Loss suffered and or incurred by the Supplier as a result of exercising its rights under this clause 8. If there is any inconsistency between the Supplier’s rights under this clause 8 and its rights under Chapter 4 of the PPSA, this clause 8 prevails.

8.6 The Purchaser acknowledges and warrants that the Supplier has a security interest (for the purposes of the PPSA) in the Goods and any proceeds until title passes to the Purchaser in accordance with this clause 8. The Purchaser must do anything reasonably required by the Supplier to enable the Supplier to register its security interest with the priority the Supplier requires and to maintain that registration.

8.7 The security interest arising under this clause 8 attaches to the Goods when the Purchaser obtains possession of the Goods and the parties confirm that they have not agreed that any security interest arising under this clause 8 attaches at any later time.

  1. CANCELLATIONS

Any request by the Purchaser for cancellation of a Purchase Order must be in writing and may be delivered by post, hand delivery or facsimile or email.

  1. SUPPLIER’S LIABILITY

11.1 Nothing in these conditions is to be interpreted as having the effect of excluding, restricting or modifying any statutory guarantee, condition or warranty, or right or liability implied by any applicable legislation into the Contract, if such exclusion, restriction or modification would be void or prohibited by the legislation.
