- Commencement of provision of products based on a quotation is subject to Company approval of the Customer’s Credit Application.
- Any representation, warranty, condition, or undertaking that would be implied into these Terms and Conditions by legislation, common law, equity, trade, custom, or usage is excluded to the maximum extent permitted by law.

3. Pricing
- If there is an error or omission in a Price List, the Company reserves the right to amend it, even after acceptance of a quotation.
- Unless otherwise stated, all quoted prices are GST exclusive. GST will be added to delivery, supply, and installation.
- The Company may change its price list at any time. Where prior notice of a price increase is given, the Company may refuse an order (before the increase takes effect) if, in its reasonable opinion, the volume ordered exceeds the Customer’s normal buying patterns.
4. Terms of Payment
- Subject to clause 11, payment must be made by cleared funds prior to delivery.

- If the Customer fails to pay on time, the Company may:

- Recover from the Customer all costs of debt recovery, including legal costs on a solicitor–client basis.
- Cease all outstanding work and terminate any undelivered orders.
- Require cash on delivery for any further products.
5. Delivery & Inspection
- The Customer must pay reasonable transportation costs, as per the Price List.
- Delivery dates are estimates only. Delays do not entitle cancellation or claims for damages.

- Supply is subject to availability. Partial orders may be delivered in instalments, with each instalment invoiced separately.
- Customers must inspect goods immediately after delivery. Claims for mis-delivery, shortage, defect, or damage must be notified in writing within 5 business days. Claims for damage after delivery will not be accepted.
6. Property and Risk
- Title in goods remains with the Company until full payment (including taxes and charges) is received. If payment is later avoided by law, title is deemed not to have passed.
- Risk passes to the Customer upon delivery.
- Customers hold goods as fiduciary bailee until full payment.

7. Consumer Law
- Goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
