Terms & Conditions for Sale of Prime Product
1.GENERAL
All orders or offers to purchase are accepted, and Goods are supplied, subject to the following express terms and conditions which are in turn subject to the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth). For the purposes of these terms and conditions, "Goods" and "Services" mean the goods and services ordered by the Customer and supplied by Gough & Gilmour Holdings Pty Limited ("Company") on these terms and conditions. No variation from these terms and conditions applies unless agreed in writing by the Company and the Customer prior to the commencement of the supply. Any acceptance by the Customer of the Goods is deemed to be an acceptance that these terms and conditions are incorporated into the contract entered into relating to the Goods to the exclusion of all others.
2.ORDERS
No order is deemed to be accepted nor any contract made with the Company until a written acceptance of the order or contract is given by the Company to the Customer. All orders are accepted and contracts made subject to Goods of the description ordered being available at the times specified for delivery. If any material part of the order cannot be supplied by the due date, the Company will advise the Customer as soon as possible. In no event, however, shall the Company be liable for any indirect or consequential loss or damage or any loss of profit resulting from the non-supply in whole or in part of all of the Goods ordered.
3.PRICES
The prices for any Goods are as agreed by the Parties in writing. However, the Company reserves the right to invoice all Goods at the price prevailing at the date of despatch.
Prices are exclusive of Goods and Services Tax ("GST") payable pursuant to A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth) and in addition to the price of the Goods and/or Services provided to the Customer, the Customer must pay to the Company an additional amount calculated at the rate which GST is imposed on such Goods and/or Services provided that the Company supplies the Customer with a valid tax invoice.
Unless otherwise stated, prices agreed in writing between the parties include applicable customs duties.
4.CARRIAGE AND DELIVERY
The Company will try to deliver the Goods by the time (if any) advised, but it is under no liability for any delay in delivery. Unless otherwise specified the Price does not cover the cost of delivery of the Goods to the destination specified by the Customer. If the Company delivers the Goods then, unless otherwise specified by the Company, the Goods must be unloaded by the Customer immediately on arrival at the specified destination. The Customer is responsible for any loss, damage or injury incurred by any person or to any property in the course of unloading the Goods delivered by the Company or in the course of loading Goods not delivered by the Company.
5.TRADE-IN EQUIPMENT
If applicable, prices for trade-in equipment are firm for a period of 28 days. The trade-in prices offered apply only to the machine appraised by the Company with the same attachments and are based on the condition of the machine as appraised prior to quote, subject to fair wear and tear (not including a major component failure). The trade-in price will be confirmed at the time of order placement with rectification of a major component failure, if any, being to the Customer's account. The trade-in machine is to be available for delivery to the Company on the day the new machine is delivered by the Company to the Customer.
6.RISK
The Goods are at the Customer's risk from the time that they are delivered to the Customer (or the Customer's agent or employee), notwithstanding that title may not have passed.
7.TITLE TO GOODS
Notwithstanding that risk in the Goods may have passed to the Customer in accordance with clause 6, until full payment for the Goods has been made, legal and beneficial title to the Goods remains with the Company and until such time:
a)title in the Goods does not pass to the Customer;
b)the Customer must hold the Goods as bailee for the Company and must store the Goods securely and separately to those belonging to any other person and in a manner which makes them readily identifiable as the goods of the Company;
c)the Company may require the Goods to be returned to it at the cost of the Customer or go onto the premises of the Customer and re-take possession of the Goods;
d)if the Customer sells the Goods, the Customer must hold the proceeds of the sale in a separate account in the name of the Customer on trust for the Company;
e)the Company may maintain an action for the price of the Goods notwithstanding that title in them has not passed to the Customer;
f)if an encumbrancer takes possession, or a receiver or trustee or liquidator is appointed, of the whole or a material part of the assets or undertaking of the Customer, the Customer and any such receiver, trustee or liquidator shall immediately cease to be entitled to sell the Goods.
In the case of payment other than by cash, full payment is deemed to occur on clearance or confirmation of the irrevocable receipt of funds by the Company.
Nothing in these terms and conditions, or any circumstance arising from the fact that the Customer obtains possession of the Goods before obtaining title or any other circumstance, makes the Customer an agent of the Company for any purpose.
8.MIXED OR CONVERTED GOODS
If the Goods:
a)become constituents of other products so as not to be separable from those products; or
b)are converted into other products of a distinctly different character;
then title in the Goods passes to the Customer at the time the Goods become constituents of the other products or are converted into other products and if the Customer sells those other products or any of them, the Customer must hold the whole of the proceeds of sale on trust for the Company to the extent of the unpaid purchase price of the Goods.
9.QUANTITY AND DESCRIPTION
The Customer must within 7 days of the date of the invoice notify the Company and the carriers responsible for delivery of the Goods if none of the Goods have been received. The Company is not responsible for making good any non-delivery unless it is so notified.
The Customer must check the quantity of Goods delivered against the quantity due to be delivered under the Contract and sign a delivery note relating to the Goods on delivery. The Company is not responsible for making good any deficiencies in quantity unless the delivery note is appropriately endorsed and the Company is notified in writing within 7 days of delivery.
The Customer must check on delivery that the Goods are those specified by it and as described in the Invoice and the Goods are deemed to comply with the specification and description unless the delivery note is appropriately endorsed.
The Customer must, as soon as possible after delivery, check that the Goods have not been damaged and the Goods are deemed to have been delivered undamaged unless the delivery note is appropriately endorsed and the Company is notified in writing within 7 days of delivery.
If the Customer gives notice of damage to the Goods it must preserve the Goods in the state in which they were delivered for a period of 14 days from the date on which the Company is notified in writing. During that period of 14 days the Customer must allow the Company access to its premises for the purpose of inspecting the Goods. Alternatively, the Company may request the Customer to return the Goods at the Company's expense.
