TRADING TERMS & CONDITIONS

  1. Payment of Orders/Accounts

All orders which are endorsed or described as “Pro Forma Orders” are firm, irrevocable and non-cancellable by the Applicant and must be paid for in full within 30 days from date of invoice. Where payment for a Pro Forma Order is not received within 30 days of the date of invoice, the order may be cancelled by and at the sole discretion of the Supplier and in such event the Applicant will be liable from the date of notice of cancellation for a cancellation fee equivalent to 20% of the invoiced cost or $50.00, whichever is greater.

All other orders made to the Supplier must be paid for within 30 days of the date of the Supplier’s Invoice (“the Payment Period”) and where payment in full is not received by the Supplier prior to the expiry of the Payment Period then the Applicant shall be liable to pay interest on the amount outstanding as at the expiry of the Payment Period at the rate of 13% per annum until payment in full is received by the Supplier. The Supplier is hereby irrevocably authorized to allocate the payment of any monies received from time to time from the Applicant towards any outstanding account incurred with the Supplier by the Applicant. All prices quoted shall be exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (“GST”) and GST will be payable on the sale price on payment of the invoice.

  1. Property in and delivery of goods

(a) The Goods supplied by the Supplier to the Applicant shall be at the Applicant’s risk immediately on delivery to the Applicant or immediately on delivery as directed by the Applicant or immediately on collection by the Applicant’s transport contractor as the case may be.

(b) Notwithstanding that the risk of loss or damage to the Goods passes to the Applicant in accordance with the previous sub-paragraph (a), property in and ownership of the Goods shall not pass to the Applicant until payment in full for the Goods shall have been received by the Supplier.

(c) Until payment in full of the invoiced cost of the Goods shall have been received by the Supplier, the Applicant shall hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as a bailee only for the Supplier and the Applicant shall (at its own expense) keep the Goods properly and safely stored separately from any other goods and stock of the Applicant and any other third party and in such a way as the Goods shall be readily identified as the Goods of the Supplier and the Applicant shall not, subject to sub-clause d(i), grant any other person a Security Interest in respect of the Goods, allow an Excluded Interest to exist over the Goods or part with the Goods or attempt to do so without the prior written consent of the Supplier.

(d) (i) Notwithstanding that the property in the Goods has not passed to the Applicant, the Applicant may resell the Goods or any part thereof in the name of the Applicant but only as an agent for the Supplier and may deliver any such Goods to the buyer of them but only on terms which will not prejudice the Supplier’s ability to obtain the sale proceeds thereof.

(ii) Any amount paid by the buyer of such Goods from time to time to the Applicant (hereinafter referred to as “the sale proceeds”) shall be held by the Applicant in trust for the Vendor, banked in a separate bank account relating only to the sale proceeds of the Goods of the Supplier under this and/or other contracts between the Supplier and Applicant and shall be forwarded as soon as possible after receipt to the Supplier.

(iii) If and when the full amount of the price of the Goods has been received by the Supplier, any further part of the price received by the Applicant upon any resale by it of the Goods may be retained by the Applicant as its commission for effecting such sale as agent for the Supplier.

(e) If the Applicant has not received the proceeds, it assigns to the Supplier all rights against the person owing the proceeds.

(f) The Applicant irrevocably authorises the Supplier (at any time if there has been a default, or otherwise during business hours) to enter any premises upon which:

(2) If the Applicant has breached this Agreement, to reclaim possession of the Goods;

(ii) The Applicant’s records relating to the Goods are held, to inspect and copy the records.

(g) Until the Supplier has received payment for the Goods in full, the Applicant acknowledges that the Supplier shall have a Purchase Money Security Interest which attaches over such Goods and their proceeds and a Security Interest in relation to other amounts owed by the Applicant to the Supplier.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, after the Registration Commencement Time, the Supplier may register its Purchase Money Security Interest and Security Interest on the PPS Register established by the PPSA and, where necessary, amend the registration.

(i) The Applicant acknowledges that it must sign a document incorporating this Agreement and if it does not sign such a document it must adopt or accept this Agreement by conduct.

(j) The Applicant agrees to do anything (such as obtaining consents, signing and producing documents, producing receipts and getting documents completed and signed) which the Supplier asks and considers necessary for the purposes of:

(i) Ensuring that a Security Interest created under this Agreement is enforceable, perfected and otherwise effective; or

(ii) Enabling the Supplier to apply for any registration, or give any notification, in connection with a Security Interest created under this Agreement so that the Security Interest has the priority required by the Supplier, including anything the Supplier reasonably asks the Applicant to do in connection with the PPSA.

(k) To the extent permitted by law, if the PPSA applies, the Applicant irrevocably waives any rights the Applicant may have to:

(i) Receive notices or statements under sections 95, 121(4), 125, 130, 132(3) (d), 132(4) and 135 of the PPSA;

(i) The Applicant failing to make payment in full of the invoiced cost of the Goods within 30 days from the date of invoice;

(ii) The Applicant, if required herein, failing to insure the Goods from the date of delivery thereof by the Supplier and to provide evidence of such insurance to the Supplier:

(iii) Any distress or execution being levied upon the Applicant’s Goods or property:

(iv) The Applicant, being a company, sole trader or trustee becoming unable to pay its debts as they fall due, offering to enter into any scheme of arrangement with its creditors, the passing by the Board of Directors of the Applicant of any resolution to wind up the Applicant, the filing of any petition to wind up the Applicant or the appointment of an administrator or receiver/manager in respect of the Applicant’s affairs, the Applicant, in the case of a natural person, being declared bankrupt: and

(v) Immediately upon the Applicant committing any Act of Default any right
to sell the Goods in which the title to property remains vested in the Supplier shall cease forthwith and the Applicant shall upon the happening of any Act of Default immediately place all of the Goods then remaining in its possession or under its control at the disposal of the Supplier and the Supplier is hereby irrevocably authorised by the Applicant to nominate a person to enter the Applicant’s premises during normal business hours for the purpose of repossessing such of the Goods still in the possession or under the control
of the Applicant and where necessary to use no more than reasonable force to liberate and take possession of the Goods. Where the Goods are stored
in a warehouse conducted by a person other than the Applicant immediately upon committing any Act of Default the Applicant shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Supplier the attorney of the Applicant with the authority in the name of the Applicant to direct the warehouseman to release any of the Supplier’s Goods in the possession or under the control of the warehouseman whether or not the Payment Period has expired and the Supplier shall be at liberty to resell the Goods after repossession of the same pursuant to this clause.

(i) Shall maintain and keep full and up to date records of the Goods supplied by the Supplier including those Goods on-sold by the Applicant, and

(ii) Hereby irrevocably authorises the Supplier to enter its premises during normal business hours from time to time to inspect the residue of the Goods remaining unsold by the Applicant, the Applicant’s records relating to the Goods and also to inspect the accounts including bank accounts into which the proceeds of sale of that part of the Goods already sold are by this clause required to be deposited pending payment to the Supplier.
