1. Customer obligations
(a) These Terms and Conditions apply if the Company accepts any order for Goods or Services or both in cash or credit from the Customer. The Customer has no entitlement to credit unless in the Company’s sole discretion the Company extends credit to the Customer. If the Company gives the Customer credit, the Company reserves their right at whatever time for any reason in the Company’s sole discretion to decline the supply of any further or additional Goods or Services to the Customer and decline the supply of any Goods or Services or both to the Customer on credit terms. If the Company does refuse to give the Customer further credit then that decision does not affect the credit terms which apply to any amounts the Customer then owes to the Company.
(b) If the Customer does not comply with any of the terms of these Conditions or in respect of any obligation to pay money to the Company when due, suffers an Insolvency Event or makes any misrepresentation to the Company, the balance of the Customer’s account to the Company will become due and payable immediately.
(c) The Customer agrees that it must:

1. pay, without any deduction or set off, the price charged by the Company for Goods or Services supplied to the Customer on delivery or performance, or, if credit terms are offered, within 14 days during which the goods or services were supplied or provided.
2. pay any stamp duty assessed on this document or fee to register or maintain any security interest held by the Company in respect of Goods or Services supplied to the Customer.
3. advise in writing to the Company as soon as practicable and no later than seven (7) business days of any Insolvency Event, any change in its name, ownership or control, the Australian Business Number, the address of the business and address at which the goods will be located or any step being taken to sell an asset or assets (separately or together having a value being greater than 20% in value of its gross assets). The Customer acknowledges that, despite any such event, change, or step the Customer remains liable to pay the price for all Goods or Services supplied by the Company.

2. Overdue accounts and security
(a) If an account is not paid by the due date, the balance owing will incur interest at a rate of 5% above the Reserve Bank of Australia Cash Rate calculated daily and compounded monthly but in no circumstances will the interest charged exceed 20% per annum.
(b) The Customer agrees to pay all costs and expenses (including legal costs, commissions paid by the Company or its Related Bodies Corporate to any commercial or mercantile agent and dishonour fees) sustained by the Company in connection with the recovery of overdue amounts and enforcing the charge in clause 2(c).
(c) As security for any amounts due to the Company from time-to-time, the Customer charges all of its legal and equitable interest (both present and future) of whatsoever nature held in any and all Real and Personal Property to the Company.
(d) Without limiting clause 2(c), the Customer, agrees, on request by the Company, to execute any document and do all things reasonably required by the Company, to perfect the charge given in clause 2(c) including, but not limited to, registering a mortgage security over any Real Property. The Customer indemnifies the Company on an indemnity basis against all costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the preparation and registration of any such steps needed to perfect the security or prepare or register the mortgage documents.
(e) The Customer consents to the Company lodging a caveat or caveats noting its interest in any Real Property.

3. Property and Ownership/Retention of title
(a) The Company retains legal and equitable title in any Goods supplied to the Customer until payment in full for or in connection with the supply of the relevant Goods has been received by the Company. Until payment in full has been received, the following terms apply.
(b) Despite the fact that title in the Goods remains with the Company until payment has been received in full (as stipulated in clause 3(a)), the Customer may sell such goods or use the Goods in a manufacturing or construction process in the ordinary course of the Customer’s business. As between the Customer and the purchaser of any item of the Goods, the Customer agrees to sell the goods as principal and not as agent of the Company. The proceeds of sale of each item of Goods must be held by the Customer in a separate fund on trust for the Company and the Customer is under a duty to account to the Company for such proceeds. The creation of, or any failure of, any such trust shall not in any way limit the obligation of the Customer to pay an amount to the Company for Goods supplied.
(c) Until Goods are sold or used in a manufacturing or construction process, the Customer must keep the Goods safe and free from deterioration, destruction, loss or harm, clearly designate the Goods as the property of the Company, store them in such a way they are clearly identified as the property of the Company and keep full and complete records, firstly, of the physical location of the Goods and, secondly, the ownership of the Goods by the Company.
(d) The Company is irrevocably entitled at any time and from time-to-time before sale of any item of Goods by the Customer to inspect, recover and/or retake possession of such Goods and otherwise exercise in relation to the Goods any of its rights whether those rights are as owner and/or unpaid Seller or otherwise and whether those rights are conferred by common law, contract, statute or in any other way. In order to exercise such entitlement, the Company and its agents are irrevocably authorised by the Customer to enter any of the Customer’s premises or vehicles or those of any third party. The Customer agrees to obtain the consent of any such third party to such entry by the Company and to indemnify the Company and its agents for any liability arising from any entry upon such third parties’ premises or vehicles. The Company and its agents agree to take all reasonable care in removing the Goods from such premises or vehicles but, to the extent this liability may be disclaimed by law, are not liable for any damage or injury to such premises caused by the removal of the Goods.
(e) This reservation of title and ownership is effective whether or not the Goods have been altered from their supplied form, or commingled with other goods.

(c) The Customer acknowledges and agrees that in relation to the part of the Secured Property that is inventory, the Customer will not allow any Security Interest to arise in respect of that Secured Property unless the Company has perfected its Security Interest in the Secured Property prior to the Customer’s possession of the Secured Property.
(d) If Chapter 4 of the PPSA applies to the enforcement of the Security Interest arising under or in connection with these Conditions, the Customer agrees:

(e) If the Customer makes payment to the Company at whatever time whether in connection with these Conditions or otherwise, the Company may, at its absolute discretion, apply that payment in any manner it sees fit.
(f) The Customer agrees to notify the Company without any delay of any changes made to its name or address (as specified in these Conditions).
(g) The Customer agrees to do anything the Company requests the Customer to do (such as obtaining consents, signing and producing documents, producing receipts and getting documents completed and signed): to provide more effective security over the Secured Property; to register in respect of a Security Interest constituted by these Conditions at any time; to enable the Company to exercise its rights in connection with the Secured Property; and to show the Company whether the Customer has complied with these Conditions.
(h) The Customer shall pay on demand any losses arising from, and any costs and expenses incurred in connection with, any action taken by the Company under or in relation to the PPSA, including any registration, or any response to an amendment, demand or a request under section 275 of the PPSA.

(j) The Customer waives the right to receive any notice under the PPSA (including notice of a verification statement) unless the notice is required by the PPSA and cannot be excluded.

5. Risk
Risk passes to the Customer upon receipt of the supply and delivery of Goods to the Customer. Delivery of Goods will be at the Company’s premises on collection of the Goods by the Customer, its employees, agent or contractors. If the Company has specifically agreed to ship the Goods to the Customer, risk in the Goods passes immediately on delivery of the Goods to the Customer’s chosen place of delivery by the Company or its agent.

6. Exclusion of implied terms
The Customer may have the benefit of consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law.
