TERMS OF TRADE
1. Price: The price for goods supplied is the price set out in our price list at the time and date of ordering unless otherwise specified in a written quotation/order confirmation. You accept the price ordering unless otherwise specified in a written quotation / order confirmation. You accept the price by placing an order. Generally we will quote prices exclusive of GST. You must pay GST in addition to the contract price. Unless otherwise specified in our price list or quotation, prices are exclusive of freight and other handling charges. You may not withhold the price or deduct or set-off any amount against the price.
2. Payment: The price will be payable prior to delivery unless we have agreed to provide you with credit. If we provide you with credit, you must pay the price by no later than the 20th day of the month following dispatch. Notwithstanding that we may have previously agreed to give you credit, we may in our discretion require payment of a deposit or that the price is paid wholly or partly in advance. We may also cancel any credit and require you to pay all outstanding amounts in full at any time. We may elect not to sell or deliver goods to you if payment is not received in accordance with our requirements.
3. Title/recovery of goods: Prior to receiving payment in full for all goods or services supplied to you, title in any goods supplied by us will remain with us and we have a charge over the proceeds of the goods if such goods are sold or disposed of by you. If you fail to pay on the due date, or if you are in breach of these terms, you authorise us to enter any premises to recover goods supplied by us or in respect of which we have title or a charge. If the premises are the premises of a third party, we will enter and recover the goods as your agent.

storage charges if you fail to accept delivery. We may deliver in instalments and in such case each instalment shall be regarded as a separate contract on these terms. Delivery will be “free in store” (ie delivery is completed when we make the goods available at your nominated delivery location).

If we accept your claim, we will meet your reasonable freight costs for returning the affected goods to us.
