3. Acceptance
3.1 Any instructions received by the Supplier from the Client for the supply of Goods and/or the Client's acceptance of Goods supplied by the Supplier shall constitute acceptance of the terms and conditions contained herein.
3.2 Where more than one Client has entered into this agreement, the Clients shall be jointly and severally liable for all payments of the Price.
3.3 Upon acceptance of these terms and conditions by the Client the terms and conditions are binding and can only be amended with the written consent of the Supplier.
3.4 The Client shall give the Supplier not less than fourteen (14) days prior written notice of any proposed change of ownership of the Client or any change in the Client’s name and/or any other change in the Client’s details (including but not limited to, changes in the Client’s address, facsimile number, or business practice). The Client shall be liable for any loss incurred by the Supplier as a result of the Client’s failure to comply with this clause.
3.5 Goods are supplied by the Supplier only on the terms and conditions of trade herein to the exclusion of anything to the contrary in the terms of the Client’s order notwithstanding that any such order is placed on terms that purport to override these terms and conditions of trade.

4. Price and Payment
4.1 At the Supplier's sole discretion the Price shall be either:
     (a) as indicated on invoices provided by the Supplier to the Client in respect of Goods supplied; or
     (b) the Supplier’s quoted Price (subject to clause 4.2) which shall be binding upon the Supplier provided that the Client shall accept the Supplier's quotation in writing within thirty (30) days.
4.2 The Supplier reserves the right to change the Price in the event of a variation to the Supplier's quotation. Any variation from the plan of scheduled works or specifications (including, but not limited to, any variation due to fluctuations in the currency exchange rate) will be charged for on the basis of the Supplier’s quotation and will be shown as variations on the invoice. Payment for all variations must be made in full at their time of completion.
4.3 At the Supplier's sole discretion a deposit may be required.
4.4 At the Supplier's sole discretion:
     (a) payment shall be due on delivery of the Goods; or
     (b) payment shall be due before delivery of the Goods.
4.5 Time for payment for the Goods shall be of the essence and will be stated on the invoice or any other forms. If no time is stated then payment shall be due seven (7) days following the date of the invoice.
4.6 Payment will be made by cash, or by cheque, or by direct credit, or by any other method as agreed to between the Client and the Supplier.
4.7 GST and other taxes and duties that may be applicable shall be added to the Price except when they are expressly included in the Price.

     (a) the Client takes possession of the Goods at the Supplier's address; or
     (b) the Client takes possession of the Goods at the Client's nominated address (in the event that the Goods are delivered by the Supplier or the Supplier's nominated carrier); or
     (c) the Client's nominated carrier takes possession of the Goods in which event the carrier shall be deemed to be the Client's agent.
5.2 At the Supplier's sole discretion the costs of delivery are:
     (a) in addition to the Price; or
     (b) for the Client's account.
5.3 The Client shall make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Goods whenever they are tendered for delivery. In the event that the Client is unable to take delivery of the Goods as arranged then the Supplier 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 Supplier 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 Supplier to deliver shall not entitle either party to treat this contract as repudiated.
5.7 The Supplier shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever due to failure by the Supplier to deliver the Goods (or any of them) promptly or at all, where due to circumstances beyond the control of the Supplier.

6. Risk
6.1 If the Supplier 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 Supplier is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Goods. The production of these terms and conditions by the Supplier is sufficient evidence of the Supplier's rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with the Supplier to make further enquiries.
6.3 Where the Client expressly requests the Supplier to leave Goods outside the Supplier'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.

7. Title
7.1 The Supplier and the Client agree that ownership of the Goods shall not pass until:
     (a) the Client has paid the Supplier all amounts owing for the particular Goods; and
     (b) the Client has met all other obligations due by the Client to the Supplier in respect of all contracts between the Supplier and the Client.
7.2 Receipt by the Supplier 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 Supplier’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 Supplier 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 Supplier to the Client the Supplier may give notice in writing to the Client to return the Goods or any of them to the Supplier. Upon such notice the rights of the Client to obtain ownership or any other interest in the Goods shall cease; and
     (c) the Supplier 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 Supplier then the Supplier or the Supplier’s agent may enter upon and into land and premises owned, occupied or used by the Client, or any premises as the invitee of the Client, 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 Supplier 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 Supplier for the Goods, on trust for the Supplier; and
     (f) the Client shall not deal with the money of the Supplier in any way which may be adverse to the Supplier; 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 Supplier; and
     (h) the Supplier 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 Supplier will be the owner of the end products.

8. Defects
8.1 The Client shall inspect the Goods on delivery and shall within two (2) days of delivery (time being of the essence) notify the Supplier of any alleged defect, shortage in quantity, damage or failure to comply with the description or quote. The Client shall afford the Supplier 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 Supplier has agreed in writing that the Client is entitled to reject, the Supplier's liability is limited to either (at the Supplier'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 Supplier warrants that if any defect in any workmanship of the Supplier becomes apparent and is reported to the Supplier within three (3) months of the date of delivery (time being of the essence) then the Supplier will either (at the Supplier'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 Supplier; 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 Supplier shall thereafter in no circumstances be liable under the terms of the warranty if the workmanship is repaired, altered or overhauled without the Supplier's consent.
     (c) in respect of all claims the Supplier 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 Supplier, the warranty shall be the current warranty provided by the manufacturer of the Goods. The Supplier 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. Intellectual Property
10.1 Where the Supplier has designed, drawn or written Goods for the Client, then the copyright in those designs and drawings and documents shall remain vested in the Supplier, and shall only be used by the Client at the Supplier's discretion.
10.2 The Client warrants that all designs or instructions to the Supplier will not cause the Supplier to infringe any patent, registered design or trademark in the execution of the Client's order and the Client agrees to indemnify the Supplier against any action taken by a third party against the Supplier in respect of any such infringement.
