Claims and returns

37. The Customer must inspect the Goods immediately upon delivery and must within seven (7) days after the date of inspection give written notice to the Supplier with particulars, of any claim that the Goods are not in accordance with this agreement. Further, the Customer must, upon request from the Supplier, allow the Supplier to enter upon any premises occupied by the Customer to inspect the Goods that are subject of the claim. If the Customer fails to give notice or refuses to allow the Supplier to inspect the Goods, then to the extent permitted by law, the Goods must be treated as having been accepted by the Customer (and the Customer shall have no claim against the Supplier for damage or non-conformity of the Goods with these terms and conditions or any agreement between them) and the Customer must pay for the Goods in accordance with these terms and conditions.

38. The Customer cannot return Goods to the Supplier without the written agreement of the Supplier. To the extent permitted by law, Goods that have been specifically produced or purchased by the Supplier at the Customer’s request cannot be returned in any circumstances.

39. After inspection has taken place as provided for by clause 37 (but subject to clause 38):
(a) if the Supplier reasonably determines that:
(i) the Goods are not damaged; or
(ii) the Goods were damaged by the Customer or the Customer failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the Goods from becoming damaged; and
(iii) the Goods are otherwise in conformity with these terms and conditions,
the Customer is deemed to have accepted the Goods and the Supplier is entitled to the Price.
(b) if the Supplier reasonably determines that:
(i) the Goods are damaged; and
(ii) the Goods were not damaged by the Customer and the Customer did not fail to take reasonable steps to prevent the Goods from becoming damaged; or
(iii) the Goods are otherwise not in conformity with these terms and conditions,
the Customer is entitled to any one or more, at the option of the Supplier:
(i) the replacement of the Goods or the supply of equivalent Goods;
(ii) the repair of the Goods;
(iii) the payment of the cost of replacing the Goods or acquiring equivalent Goods;
(iv) the payment of the cost of having the Goods repaired.

(b) such inspection must be carried out within a reasonable time after notification by the Customer.

41. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that any return, other than a return due to a default by the Supplier under this agreement or as otherwise permitted by law, will incur a handling and administration charge of ten (10) percent of the purchase price of the returned Goods.

42.

Any Goods returned to the Supplier must be unsoiled, undamaged, packed and wrapped appropriately and must include all original packaging and documentation. The Supplier accepts no liability for any damage that occurs to any Goods in return transit.

 

Risk

Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods passes to the Customer on delivery and the Customer must insure the Goods on or before delivery against all losses which may be sustained as a result of the loss, damage or destruction of the Goods or any part thereof by accident, theft, fire, flood, negligence and such other insurable causes as may be available and shall include the Supplier as co-insured.

44. If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed following delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Customer, the Supplier is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Goods to the extent of the indebtedness of the Customer to the Supplier. 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 enquires.

45. If the Customer requests that Goods are delivered either to an unattended location, left outside, or are left outside the Supplier’s premises for collection, the Customer acknowledges that the Supplier will deliver the Goods as requested at the Customer’s sole risk.
Retention of title

(b) the Customer agrees that property and title in the Goods will not pass to the Customer and the Supplier retains the legal and equitable title in those Goods supplied and not yet sold;

47. The Customer’s liability to the Supplier under these terms and conditions will not be discharged by the operation of clause 46(d) (but its levels of indebtedness will be reduced by the extent of the funds so remitted to the Supplier).

48. The Customer agrees that whilst property and title in the Goods remains with the Supplier, the Supplier has the right, with prior notice to the Customer, to enter upon any premises occupied by the Customer (or any receiver, receiver and manager, administrator, liquidator or trustee in bankruptcy of the Customer) to inspect the Goods of the Supplier and, when payment is overdue, to immediately enter the premises (as the Customer’s invitee) to repossess the Goods which may be in the Customer’s possession, custody or control when payment is overdue.

49. The Customer will be responsible for the Supplier’s reasonable costs and expenses in exercising its rights under clause 48 where the Customer is otherwise in default of the terms of this agreement. 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 Customer against the Supplier, its employees, servants, or agents.

50. The Customer agrees that where the Goods have been retaken into the possession of the Supplier, the Supplier has the absolute right to sell or deal with the Goods, and if necessary, sell the Goods with the trademark or name of the Customer on those Goods, and the Customer hereby grants an irrevocable license to the Supplier to do all things necessary to sell the Goods bearing the name or trademark of the Customer.

57. Notwithstanding section 275 of the PPSA, the parties agree to keep confidential all information of the kind referred to in section 275 of the PPSA, unless compelled by law to disclose such information.

58.

59. The Customer will be responsible for the Supplier’s reasonable costs and expenses in exercising its rights under clause 58 where the Customer is otherwise in default of these terms and conditions.

60. The Customer agrees to accept service of any document required to be served, including any notice under this agreement or the PPSA or any originating process, by prepaid post at any address nominated in this application or any other address later notified to the Supplier by the Customer or the Customer’s authorised representative.

65. Where the Customer has previously entered into an agreement with the Supplier by which the Customer has granted a charge, mortgage or other security interest (including a security interest as defined in the PPSA) over or in respect of real or personal property, those charges, mortgages or other security interests and the terms which directly or indirectly create rights, powers or obligations in respect thereto will continue and co-exist with the obligations and security interests created in this agreement and will secure all indebtedness and obligations of the Customer under this agreement.
