  • Commencement of provision of products based on quotation is subject to approval from the Company of the Customer’s Credit Application.

  • charge default interest at the rate of 12% per annum on all overdue amounts (including late payment charges and amounts other than the price) calculated daily on and from the due date for payment and the parties agree that any amount so calculated is not a penalty but rather an accurate pre-estimate of the damage to be incurred by the Company. Payments received from the Customer will be credited first against any default interest, then in payment of services and then against payment of any goods, and all such charges will be payable on demand;
  • claim from the Customer, all costs relating to any action taken by the Company to recover money due from the Customer including any legal costs and disbursements on a solicitor-client basis;

Delivery & Inspection

  • The Customer must pay the reasonable costs of transportation of the goods as per the Price List.
  • Any date or time quoted by the Company is an estimate only and the Company will endeavour to meet that estimate, but failure to do so will not confer on the Customer any right of cancellation on the Customer’s part or render the Company liable for any loss or damages directly or indirectly sustained by the Customer as a result thereof.
  • The Company’s obligation to deliver will be discharged on arrival of the products at the Customer’s nominated delivery destination, nominated transport company, nominated agent or the address appearing on the quotation.
  • The supply of goods is subject to availability.  If the Company is unable to supply the Customer’s total order the Company may deliver the order in instalments and the Customer must pay an amount for that instalment as notified by the Company in the invoice.

  • As security for payment, the Customer (and where applicable each Guarantor) agrees to grant the Company a Security Interest (as defined in the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) (“PPSA”) in the outstanding payments and all after acquired property and an irrevocable right to register this interest against it or its property (as the case may be) on the Personal Property Securities Register established under Chapter 5 of the PPSA (“Register”) including (without limitation) where applicable, as a purchase money security interest.
