  4. If the Customer fails to make full payment within the required time:
    a. the entire amount of the Customer’s outstanding debt will become immediately due and payable to the Supplier without any need for the Supplier to make written demand for such payment; and
    b. the Supplier may do any one or more of the following:
    i. suspend any further deliveries;
    ii. charge the Customer interest computed daily and compounded monthly on the outstanding amount at the penalty interest rate of 1.5% per month calculated on a daily basis on the
    unpaid amount from due date until payment in full;

    iv. recover all reasonable collection and legal costs.
  1. Unless the Supplier has given written approval to the Customer to enter into terms of credit, the payment for goods supplied shall be made in full by the Customer without deduction or set off. Payments will only be accepted by Electronic Funds Transfer, Visa, MasterCard or PayPal. Orders that exceed the Customer’s credit limit will not be processed.
  2. Time is of the essence regarding the making of all payments.

  2. The quoted price is exclusive of GST and does not include any packaging costs, shipping and handling costs. These costs will be shown in the tax invoice issued by the Supplier and such costs will depend on the delivery address, delivery method and the weight and size of the product. Accessories, features, related products or additional goods are also not included in any quoted price unless clearly stated otherwise.
  3. All quoted prices for any offer, quotation or tender are valid for thirty (30) days from the date of issue, unless otherwise specified in writing by the Supplier.
  4. The Supplier reserves the right to vary any quoted prices of goods at any time by notice in writing to the Customer, provided always that the Customer may within 14 days of receipt of that notice request that any part of an order for goods affected by the price variation be terminated and shall notify the Supplier in writing of such request. Within 14 days of receipt of a request for termination from the Customer, the Supplier may either terminate that part of the order, or elect to supply the goods to the Customer at the original price which shall be binding on the Customer and the Customer’s request for termination shall have no effect.

Jurisdiction

  1. These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of Victoria and the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia which are in force in Victoria.
  2. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that any contract for the supply of goods or services between the Supplier and the Customer is formed at the address of the Supplier.

  4. Where the Customer has previously entered into an agreement with the Supplier by which the Customer has granted a charge, mortgage or other security interest (including a security interest as defined in the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (PPSA)) over or in respect of real or personal property, those charges, mortgages or other security interests and the terms which directly or indirectly create rights, powers or obligations in respect thereto will continue and co-exist with the obligations and security interests created in this agreement and will secure all indebtedness and obligations of the Customer under this agreement. The Supplier may, at its election, vary the terms of such previous charges, mortgages or other securities to reflect the terms herein.

Purpose of credit

  1. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the credit to be provided to the Customer by the Supplier is to be applied wholly or predominantly for commercial purposes.

 Formation of contract

  1. Quotations made by the Supplier will not be construed as an offer or obligation to supply in accordance with the quotation. The Supplier reserves the right to accept or reject, at its discretion, any order or other offer to purchase received by it.
  2. Placement of an order or other offer to purchase, either verbally or in writing, will constitute acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.
  3. Each order or other offer to purchase may be accepted by written acceptance by the Supplier in a sales confirmation email or document, performance of it (including by delivery) or issue by the Supplier of an invoice in respect of it (whichever occurs first). Such acceptance will complete a contract between the Customer and the Supplier on these Terms and Conditions.

Retention of title

  1. Title in the goods does not pass to the Customer until the Customer has made payment in full for the goods and, further, until the Customer has made payment in full of all the other money owing by the Customer to the Supplier (whether in respect of money payable under a specific contract or on any other account whatsoever).
  2. Whilst the Customer has not paid for the goods supplied in full and all other monies owing at any time, the Customer agrees that property and title in the goods will not pass to the Customer and the Supplier retains the legal and equitable title in those goods supplied and not yet sold.
  3. Until payment in full of all monies owing has been made to the Supplier, the Customer will hold the goods in a fiduciary capacity and as bailee for the Supplier and agrees to store the goods in such a manner that they can be identified as the property of the Supplier, and will not mix the goods with other similar goods.
  4. The Customer will be entitled to sell the goods, use them in any value adding process (being processing or manufacturing) (“value added goods”) and sell value added goods in the ordinary course of its business, but until full payment for the goods and all other monies owing has been made to the Supplier, the proceeds (as defined in the PPSA) will be held by the Customer on trust for the Supplier absolutely and money forming part of the proceeds will be held in a separate account that clearly identifies those proceeds as money held on trust for the Supplier. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that such sales do not give rise to any liability or obligations on the part of the Supplier in contract or otherwise.
  5. The Customer’s indebtedness to the Supplier, whether in full or in part, will not be discharged by the operation of clause 27 hereof unless and until the funds held on trust are remitted to the Supplier.
  6. The Supplier may, whilst it retains title to the goods, at its absolute discretion and without further notice and prejudice to any other of its rights, demand the return of the goods or re-take possession of the goods from any site owned or controlled by the Customer, and the Customer grants the Supplier (or its duly appointed agent) an irrevocable licence to do so without any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of such entry or re-taking of possession.
  7. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that:
    a. it will keep financial records and files relating to the sale of goods, the identification of sale proceeds in respect of the goods and the identification of book debts due to the Customer at its principal place of business for inspection by the Supplier; and
    b. any failure by the Supplier to exercise any right under this clause 30 or any other rights is not a waiver of any of the Supplier’s rights, including without limitation those rights that arise under this clause 30.
  8. The Customer will be responsible for the Supplier’s costs and expenses in exercising its rights under clauses 29 and 30. Where the Supplier exercises any power to enter the premises, that entry will not give rise to any action of trespass or similar action on the part of the Customer against the Supplier, its employees, agents or contractors.
  9. The Customer agrees that where the goods have been retaken into the possession of the Supplier, the Supplier has the absolute right to sell or deal with the goods, and if necessary, sell the goods with the trademark or name of the Customer on those goods, and the Customer hereby grants an irrevocable licence to the Supplier to do all things necessary to sell the goods bearing the name or trademark of the Customer.
  10. Pending payment of all monies owing, the Customer’s right to sell the goods in the ordinary course of its business will immediately cease on the happening of any of the following events:
    a. the Customer ceases to be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due;
    b. the Customer commits an act of bankruptcy or has a controller or trustee appointed in respect of its estate or any part of its assets;

    d. a resolution is passed for, an application is made for, or the Customer is placed in, liquidation, whether voluntary or otherwise;

    f. the Customer commits a material breach of any of these Terms and Conditions or any other agreement between the Customer and the Supplier;
    g. the Customer purports to enter into a forward sale contract in respect of the goods or value added goods or purports to assign or factor the book debts due to it without the Supplier’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in the Supplier’s absolute discretion; or
    h. the Supplier gives notice to the Customer terminating its right to sell the goods in the ordinary course of business.
  11. For the avoidance of doubt, the Supplier’s interest in the goods constitutes a security interest and to the extent applicable a ‘purchase money security interest’ pursuant to the PPSA.
  12. The Customer must ensure that no security interest (within the meaning of the PPSA) is created, exists or subsists over the goods (including any replacement part or other item that is incorporated into any goods), in the Customer’s possession or control prior to title to the goods passing to the Customer other than a security interest arising under these Terms and Conditions.
