Price and Payment 4.1 At the Seller’s sole discretion the Price shall be either: (a) as indicated on invoices provided by the Seller to the Client in respect of Goods supplied; or (b) the Seller’s quoted Price (subject to clause 4.2) which shall be binding upon the Seller provided that the Client shall accept the Seller’s quotation in writing within thirty (30) days. 4.2 The Seller reserves the right to change the Price in the event of a variation to the Seller’s quotation.

In the event that the Client is unable to take delivery of the Goods as arranged then the Seller shall be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for redelivery. 5.4 Delivery of the Goods to a third party nominated by the Client is deemed to be delivery to the Client for the purposes of this agreement. 5.5 The Seller may deliver the Goods by separate instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid in accordance with the provisions in these terms and conditions. 5.6 The failure of the Seller to deliver shall not entitle either party to treat this contract as repudiated. 5.7 The Seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever due to failure by the Seller to deliver the Goods (or any of them) promptly or at all, where due to circumstances beyond the control of the Seller. 6. Risk 6.1 If the Seller retains ownership of the Goods nonetheless, all risk for the Goods passes to the Client on delivery. 6.2 If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed following delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Client, the Seller is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Goods. The production of these terms and conditions by the Seller is sufficient evidence of the Seller’s rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with the Seller to make further enquiries. 6.3 Where the Client expressly requests the Seller to leave Goods outside the Seller’s premises for collection or to deliver the Goods to an unattended location then such Goods shall be left at the Client’s sole risk and it shall be the Client’s responsibility to ensure the Goods are insured adequately or at all. 6.4 The Client shall ensure that the Seller has clear and free access to the work site at all times to enable them to undertake the works. The Seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage to the site unless due to the negligence of the Seller. 7. Title 7.1 The Seller and the Client agree that ownership of the Goods shall not pass until: (a) the Client has paid the Seller all amounts owing for the particular Goods; and (b) the Client has met all other obligations due by the Client to the Seller in respect of all contracts between the Seller and the Client. 7.2 Receipt by the Seller of any form of payment other than cash shall not be deemed to be payment until that form of payment has been honoured, cleared or recognised and until then the Seller’s ownership or rights in respect of the Goods shall continue. 7.3 It is further agreed that: (a) where practicable the Goods shall be kept separate and identifiable until the Seller shall have received payment and all other obligations of the Client are met; and (b) until such time as ownership of the Goods shall pass from the Seller to the Client the Seller may give notice in writing to the Client to return the Goods or any of them to the Seller. Upon such notice the rights of the Client to obtain ownership or any other interest in the Goods shall cease; and (c) the Seller shall have the right of stopping the Goods in transit whether or not delivery has been made; and (d) if the Client fails to return the Goods to the Seller then the Seller or the Seller’s agent may (as the invitee of the Client) enter upon and into land and premises owned, occupied or used by the Client, or any premises where the Goods are situated and take possession of the Goods; and (e) the Client is only a bailee of the Goods and until such time as the Seller has received payment in full for the Goods then the Client shall hold any proceeds from the sale or disposal of the Goods, up to and including the amount the Client owes to the Seller for the Goods, on trust for the Seller; and (f) the Client shall not deal with the money of the Seller in any way which may be adverse to the Seller; and (g) the Client shall not charge the Goods in any way nor grant nor otherwise give any interest in the Goods while they remain the property of the Seller; and (h) the Seller can issue proceedings to recover the Price of the Goods sold notwithstanding that ownership of the Goods may not have passed to the Client; and (i) until such time that ownership in the Goods passes to the Client, if the Goods are converted into other products, the parties agree that the Seller will be the owner of the end products. 8. Defects 8.1 The Client shall inspect the Goods on delivery and shall within seven (7) days of delivery (time being of the essence) notify the Seller of any alleged defect, shortage in quantity, damage or failure to comply with the description or quote. The Client shall afford the Seller an opportunity to inspect the Goods within a reasonable time following delivery if the Client believes the Goods are defective in any way. If the Client shall fail to comply with these provisions the Goods shall be presumed to be free from any defect or damage. For defective Goods, which the Seller has agreed in writing that the Client is entitled to reject, the Seller’s liability is limited to either (at the Seller’s discretion) replacing the Goods or repairing the Goods except where the Client has acquired Goods as a consumer within the meaning of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (CWlth) or the Fair Trading Acts of the relevant state or territories of Australia, and is therefore also entitled to, at the consumer’s discretion either a refund of the purchase price of the Goods, or repair of the Goods, or replacement of the Goods. 8.2 Goods will not be accepted for return other than in accordance with 8.1 above. 9. Warranty 9.1 Subject to the conditions of warranty set out in clause 9.2 the Seller warrants that if any defect in any workmanship of the Seller becomes apparent and is reported to the Seller within three (3) months of the date of delivery (time being of the essence) then the Seller will either (at the Seller’s sole discretion) replace or remedy the workmanship. 9.2 The conditions applicable to the warranty given by clause 9.1 are: (a) the warranty shall not cover any defect or damage which may be caused or partly caused by or arise through: (i) failure on the part of the Client to properly maintain any Goods; or (ii) failure on the part of the Client to follow any instructions or guidelines provided by the Seller; or (iii) any use of any Goods otherwise than for any application specified on a quote or order form; or (iv) the continued use of any Goods after any defect becomes apparent or would have become apparent to a reasonably prudent operator or user; or (v) fair wear and tear, any accident or act of God. (b) the warranty shall cease and the Seller shall thereafter in no circumstances be liable under the terms of the warranty if the workmanship is repaired, altered or overhauled without the Seller’s consent. (c) in respect of all claims the Seller shall not be liable to compensate the Client for any delay in either replacing or remedying the workmanship or in properly assessing the Client’s claim. 9.3 For Goods not manufactured by the Seller, the warranty shall be the current warranty provided by the manufacturer of the Goods. The Seller shall not be bound by nor be responsible for any term, condition, representation or warranty other than that which is given by the manufacturer of the Goods. 10. Default and Consequences of Default 10.1 Interest on overdue invoices shall accrue daily from the date when payment becomes due, until the date of payment, at a rate of two and a half percent (2.5%) per calendar month (and at the Seller’s sole discretion such interest shall compound monthly at such a rate) after as well as before any judgment. 10.2 In the event that the Client’s payment is dishonoured for any reason the Client shall be liable for any dishonour fees incurred by the Seller. 10.3 If the Client defaults in payment of any invoice when due, the Client shall indemnify the Seller from and against all costs and disbursements incurred by the Seller in pursuing the debt including legal costs on a solicitor and own client basis and the Seller’s collection agency costs. 10.4 Without prejudice to any other remedies the Seller may have, if at any time the Client is in breach of any obligation (including those relating to payment) the Seller may suspend or terminate the supply of Goods to the Client and any of its other obligations under the terms and conditions.
