General

This Terms of Trade Agreement applies to all transactions between the Customer and the Supplier in relation to the provisions of the Goods. This includes all quotes, contracts and variations.
This Terms of Trade Agreement takes precedence over terms of trade in any document of the Customer or elsewhere.
The variation or waiver of a provision of these terms or a party's consent to departure from a provision by another party must be in writing.
The Supplier may amended any details in a Quote by notice in writing to the Customer. Such amended details supersede any relevant prior detail in dealings between the parties.

Quotes and Purchases

The Supplier may provide the Customer with a Quote. Any Quote issued by the Supplier is valid for 30 days from the date of issue.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, a Quote does not include delivery of the Goods.
The Customer is responsible for any transport or freight costs to deliver the Goods to the Customer.
Following provision of a quote to the Customer, the Supplier is not obliged to deliver the goods until the Customer places an Order
An indication in a Quote of the time frame for the provision of the Goods is an estimate only and is not a fixed time frame. Subject to any obligations in respect of consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), this estimate is not binding upon the Supplier.

Order

The Customer must place an Order with the Supplier in writing on the Supplier's standard Order form (unless otherwise agreed) for the amount of Goods it wishes to order.
An Order will only be deemed to be placed by the Customer if the Order clearly identifies the Goods ordered and the Supplier's latest Quote. Any costs incurred by the Supplier in reliance on incorrect or inadequate information provided by the Customer in an Order may result in an Additional Charge.
The Order must be signed by an authorised representative of the Customer and must specify the required date of delivery and delivery address.
Placement of the Order by the Customer signifies acceptance of the terms of this Terms of Trade Agreement and the prices outlined in the most recent Quote provided by the Supplier.
The Supplier may only refuse to provide the Goods in the following circumstances:

The Goods are unavailable for any reason;
Credit limits have not been agreed upon or have been exceeded; and
Payment for Goods previously provided to the Customer or any related corporation of the Customer or to any party who is, in the reasonable opinion of the Supplier, associated with the Customer under the same or another supply contract, has not been received by the Supplier.

An Order cannot be cancelled without the prior written consent of the Supplier. Where an Order is cancelled, the Customer indemnifies the Supplier against any Losses incurred by the Supplier as a result of the cancellation. This includes, but is not limited to, loss of profit from other orders foregone as a result of the scheduling of the Order which is subsequently cancelled.

Variations

The Customer may request that its Order be varied by providing a request in writing to the Supplier. A request for a variation must be agreed to in writing by the Supplier in order to have effect.
If the Customer wishes to vary its requirements after a Quote has been prepared by the Supplier or after the placement of an Order, the Supplier reserves the right to vary the Quote to include any Additional Charge in respect of any extra costs incurred or additional work carried out due to the variation, in accordance with its then current charge rates. A revised Quote issued by the Supplier in respect of the requested variation supersedes the original Quote. If the revised Quote only specifies additional work, the Quote for that additional work will be in addition to the immediately preceding Quote for the Goods.
The Supplier has an automatic extension of time for the provision of the Goods equal to the delay caused by the variation

Invoice and Payment

The Supplier may, in its absolute discretion, issue an invoice to the Customer in any one or more of the following ways:

prior to delivery of the Goods, for an amount equal to the Quote and Additional Charges where the Supplier has not previously carried out work for the Customer or where the Supplier chooses to do so;
at the end of each week before the Order is completed, the Supplier may issue one or more invoices or the whole of the amount of the Quote;
upon completion of the provision of the Goods or any time after such completion, for an amount equal to the Quote or the balance of the Quote outstanding, any Additional Charges and any amount not previously invoiced, or if no Quote was provided, for an amount representing the Supplier's charge for the work performed in completing the Order and for any Additional Charges.

The Customer must pay an invoice issued by the Supplier within 14 days of a valid tax invoice being issued to them.
Unless previously agreed, the Supplier will arrange for delivery of the Goods upon payment in full of the invoice.
If any invoice is due but unpaid, the Supplier may withhold the provision of any further Goods until overdue amounts are paid in full.
The Customer and the Supplier agree to comply with their obligations in relation to Goods and Services Tax (GST) under the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999.

Additional Charges

The Supplier may require the Customer to pay Additional Charges in respect of Costs incurred by the Supplier as a result of reliance on inadequate or incorrect information or material provided by the Customer or information or material supplied later than required by the Supplier in order for it to provide the Goods within the specified time frame (if any).
The imposition of Additional Charges may also occur as a result of:

cancellation by the Customer of an Order where cancellation results in Loss to the Supplier;
photocopying, courier, packing or handling charges not included in the Quote;
Government or council taxes or charges not included in the Quote; or
additional work required by the Customer or any other occurrence which causes the Supplier to incur costs in respect of the Customer's Order additional to the quoted cost.

Acceptance of Goods

The Customer must within 7 days advise the Supplier in writing of any fault, failure, missing items or defect of the Goods. The Customer is deemed to have accepted that the Goods are not faulty and in accordance with the Order if they do not provide notice as provided for in this Clause 9.1.
If any of the Goods are found to be faulty, missing, damaged, or defective the Supplier will need to rectify or credit the Goods at their discretion. If the Goods are deemed faulty, failed or defective, the Supplier will be responsible for re-delivery of the Goods.
For the purposes of this clause 9 fault, failure, missing, damaged or defective Goods includes but is not limited to the following:

Damaged on arrival;
Contaminated;
Not legally compliant;
Poor packaging;
Leaky;
Underfilled;
Incorrect labelling; or
Incorrect outer cases.

Nothing in Clause 9.1 affects the Customer's right for any alleged failure of a guarantee under the Australian Consumer Law

Title and Risk

Risk in Goods passes to the Customer immediately upon delivery.
Property and title in Goods supplied to the Customer under these terms of trade do not pass to the Customer until all money (including money owing in respect of other transactions between the Supplier and the Customer) due and payable to the Supplier by the Customer have been fully paid.
Where Goods are supplied by the Supplier to the Customer without payment in full, the Customer:

is a bailee of the Goods until property in them passes to the Customer;
irrevocably appoints the Supplier to be its attorney to do all acts and things necessary to ensure the retention of title to goods including the registration of any security interest in favour of the Supplier with respect to the Goods under applicable law;
must be able upon demand by the Supplier to separate and identify as belonging to the Supplier the Goods supplied by the Supplier from other goods which are held by the Customer;
must not allow any person to have or acquire any security interest in the Goods;
agrees that the Supplier may repossess the Goods if payment is not made within [number] days (or such longer time as the Supplier may, in its complete discretion, approve in writing) of the supply of the Goods; and
the Customer grants an irrevocable licence to the Supplier or its agent to enter the Customer's premises in order to recover possession of Goods pursuant to this Clause 10.3.6. The Customer indemnifies the Supplier for any damage to property or personal injury which occurs as a result of the Supplier entering the Customer's premises.

Where Goods are supplied by the Supplier to the Customer without payment in full of all moneys payable in respect of the Goods and provided by the Supplier in respect of those Goods, and:

the Customer makes a new object from the Goods, whether finished or not;
the Customer mixes the Goods with other goods; or
the Goods become part of other goods (New Goods),

the Customer agrees with the Supplier that the ownership of the New Goods immediately passes to the Supplier. The Customer will hold the New Goods on trust for the Supplier until payment of all sums owing to the Supplier whether under these terms of trade or any other contract have been made. The Supplier may require the customer to store the New Goods in a manner that clearly shows the ownership of the Supplier.

For the avoidance of doubt, under Clause 10.4 the ownership of the New Goods passes to the Supplier at the beginning of the operation or event by which the Goods are converted into, are mixed with or become part of other goods.
Despite Clause 10.3, the Customer may transfer, sell or dispose of Goods, including New Goods, to a third party in the ordinary course of business. This is provided that:

where the Customer is paid by a third party in respect of Goods including New Goods, the Customer holds the whole of the proceeds of sale, less any GST, on trust for the Supplier in a separate account, until all amounts owned by the Customer to the Supplier have been paid; or
where the Customer is not paid by a third party, the Customer agrees to assign all of its rights against the third party to the Supplier upon the Supplier giving the Customer notice in writing to that effect and for the purpose of giving effect to that assignment the Customer irrevocably appoints the Supplier as its attorney.

Where Goods are supplied by the Supplier to the Customer without payment in full of all moneys payable in respect of the Goods provided by the Supplier in respect of those Goods, the Customer acknowledges that the Supplier has a right to register and perfect a personal property security interest.
if:

1 a PPS Law applies or commences to apply to these terms of trade or any transaction contemplated by them, or the Supplier determines (based on legal advice) that this is the case; and
in the Supplier's opinion, the PPS Law:

does or will adversely affect the Supplier's security position or obligations; or
enables or would enable the Supplier's security position to be improved without adversely affecting the Customer,

the Supplier may give notice to the Customer requiring the Customer to do anything (including amending these terms of trade or execute any new terms and conditions) that in the Supplier's opinion is necessary, to the maximum possible extent, to overcome the circumstances contemplated in Clause 10.8.2.1 or improve the security position as contemplated in Clause 10.8.2.2. The Customer must comply with the requirements of that notice within the time specified in the notice. If having completed everything reasonably practicable as required under this Clause 10.8 in the Supplier's opinion the Supplier's security position or obligations under or in connection with these terms of trade have been or will be materially adversely affected, the Supplier may by further notice to the Customer cancel these terms of trade. If this occurs, the Customer must pay to the Supplier any money owed to the Supplier by the Customer immediately.

Risk and Delivery

The Customer shall be responsible for providing correct delivery details for the Goods
Risk in the Goods passes to the Customer on delivery of the Goods.
