Purpose of credit

12. The Applicant acknowledges and agrees that the credit to be provided to the Applicant by the Supplier is to be applied wholly or predominantly for commercial purposes.

Formation of contract

13. Quotations made by the Supplier will not be construed as an offer or obligation to supply in accordance with the quotation.  The Supplier reserves the right to accept or reject, at its discretion, any offer to purchase received by it.  Only written acceptance by the Supplier of the Applicant’s offer will complete a contract.

14. Placement of an order, either verbally or in writing, will imply acceptance of the Supplier’s offer and of these terms and conditions.

15. It is contemplated by both the Supplier and the Applicant that to satisfy the contract in whole or part, the Supplier may manufacture the goods or may purchase them outright or may place an order/s for their manufacture or may purchase the rights of a third party who has contracted for the supply of goods of similar description or who may have already placed such order or so purchased.

Prices

16. Prices quoted are net.

17. Unless otherwise stated prices quoted are based on rates of labour, materials, parts, equipment required to be purchased as component parts, other goods, freight, transportation, insurance premiums, customs duties and other taxes and statutory charges, shipping expenses, sorting and stacking charges, cartage and rates of exchange, etc current at the date of quotation.  Where relevant amounts actually and properly paid by the Supplier for any of these items differ from the amounts included in the quoted price as a consequence of a variation in any of the foregoing rates occurring from any cause the quoted price will be adjusted and the Applicant charged accordingly and any and every contract is entered into subject to such condition.  Without limiting the generality of the term “rates of labour” any variation in any status, regulation, award, or determination by which rates of pay are varied or by which hours of work are reduced for holidays, sick leave or any benefit or amenity is varied will be deemed to be a variation in the rate of labour upon the provision of 48 hours’ written notice.

18. All quotations are subject to withdrawal or change at any time until the Applicant’s order has been received and accepted by the Supplier.

21. Whilst the Applicant has not paid for the goods supplied in full at any time, the Applicant agrees that property and title in the goods will not pass to the Applicant and the Supplier retains the legal and equitable title in those goods supplied and not yet sold.

22. Notwithstanding that title may not have passed, risk in the goods passes immediately upon delivery. 

23. Until payment in full has been made to the Supplier, the Applicant will hold the goods in a fiduciary capacity for the Supplier and agrees to store the goods in such a manner that they can be identified as the property of the Supplier, and will not mix the goods with other similar goods.  

24. The Applicant will be entitled to sell the goods in the ordinary course of its business, but until full payment for the goods has been made to the Supplier, the Applicant will sell as agent and bailee for the Supplier and the proceeds of sale of the goods will be held by the Applicant on trust for the Supplier absolutely.

25. The Applicant’s indebtedness to the Supplier, whether in full or in part, will not be discharged by the operation of clause 24 hereof unless and until the funds held on trust are remitted to the Supplier.  

26. The Applicant agrees that whilst property and title in the goods remains with the Supplier, the Supplier has the right, upon the provision of 24 hours’ notice to the Applicant, to enter upon any premises occupied by the Applicant (or any receiver, receiver and manager, administrator, liquidator or trustee in bankruptcy of the Applicant) to inspect the goods of the Supplier and to repossess the goods which may be in the Applicant’s possession, custody or control when payment is overdue.

27. The Applicant will be responsible for the Supplier’s reasonable costs and expenses in exercising its rights under clause 26.  Where the Supplier exercises any power to enter the premises, that entry will not give rise to any action of trespass or similar action on the part of the Applicant against the Supplier, its employees, servants or agents.
