(b) The Seller will be accountable for any freight charges in connection with the Seller's failure to comply with the Purchaser's dispatch instructions.
(a) Subject to this clause, the Seller must deliver the Goods on the date specified in this Order.
(b) Delivery of all Goods is subject to inspection by Purchaser upon arrival at the ultimate destination irrespective of payment being made for all or part of Goods prior to such arrival. If within fourteen (14) days of delivery to the Purchaser's premises, the Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion considers that the Goods:
(1) are not of merchantable quality or fit for their purpose; or
(2) are not of the standard of design, material, workmanship or quality specified by the Purchaser in this Order; or
(3) do not correspond with the sample or description provided by the Seller;
the Purchaser may, without prejudice to any other rights conferred on the Purchaser by law including the ACL, within that time by notice to the Seller elect to:
(i) return the Goods to the Seller at the Seller's expense and risk; or
(ii) have the Goods repaired at the Seller's expense and risk; and
(iii) have the Seller repay all amounts paid by the Purchaser to the Seller on account of the Goods.
(c) The Purchaser reserves the right to inspect all or part of the Goods and the Seller agrees to provide access to its premises for such purposes upon reasonable notice at any stage of production before dispatch. The Purchaser may inspect the Goods in any manner it thinks fit in its sole and absolute discretion and on such inspection may require the amendment or alteration of anything which does not comply with this Order or to reject all or part of the Goods of which it may disapprove. If any Goods are rejected on such inspection, the Seller will immediately at its own expense provide new Goods to the sole and absolute satisfaction of the Purchaser. Such inspection will not release the Seller from liability (including without limitation for breach of any warranties expressly given by the Seller under any statute or by-law) or imply acceptance of the Goods by the Purchaser.
(d) The Purchaser may adopt any means it thinks fit in its sole and absolute discretion to satisfy itself that proper materials or workmanship are or have been used.
(a) In the event of the Seller's failure to deliver the Goods by the date specified by the Purchaser in this Order, then in addition to any other rights in these Terms and Conditions or available by law, the Purchaser may refuse to accept the Goods.
(b) In the event of the Seller's failure to deliver the Goods by the date specified in the Order or failure to supply the Goods in accordance with this Order, then in addition to any other rights in these Terms and Conditions or available at law, the Seller will upon demand by the Purchaser pay reasonable damages in respect of the loss or expense (direct or indirect) suffered or incurred by the Purchaser including without limitation loss of profit.
Title to and risk in the Goods will pass upon acceptance of delivery of the Goods by the Purchaser. The Purchaser will be under no obligation to insure the Goods until such time as they are accepted by the Purchaser.
Before placing orders on sub-contractors, the Seller must notify the Purchaser of the names of the sub-contractors for the Purchaser's sole and absolute approval. The Purchaser may request further information regarding any sub-contractor. The Seller's engagement of a sub-contractor will not release or relieve the Seller from its obligation to properly carry out this Order. The Purchaser reserves the right to inspect all sub-contracted work and these Terms and Conditions will apply hereto.
The Goods must comply with any standards of the Standards Association of Australia (or equivalent replacement body) and the requirements of any government or any other authority in Australia.
(a) The ACL in certain circumstances implies guarantees into contracts for the supply of goods. The Purchaser has the benefit of all such conditions and warranties, whether they are capable of being excluded by the Seller or are mandatory, together with the benefit of the warranty against defects in clause 11(b).
(b) Warranty against defects:
Without derogating from the express and implied terms and conditions in this Order, the Seller is liable for a period of 12 months from the date on which the Goods are delivered to the Purchaser's premises to repair or replace on notice from the Purchaser any Goods which are defective (latent or patent) in design, material, workmanship or quality specified by the Purchaser in this Order.
(c) Express warranty:
Without derogating from the implied guarantees referred to in clause 11(a), the Seller expressly warrants to the Purchaser that:
(1) the Seller is the legal and beneficial owner of the Goods and the Goods are not subject to any mortgage, lien, charge, security interest or other encumbrance:
(2) the Goods are of merchantable quality, fit for their purpose and will correspond with the description or sample:
(3) the supply of the Goods does not infringe any Australian patent, registered design, trademark or copyright: and
(4) the Goods will be produced, supplied and delivered to the Purchaser in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
(d) The Seller indemnifies the Purchaser on demand against any loss, damage or expense (direct or indirect) sustained or incurred by the Purchaser by reason of any breach of this Order or any act or omission on the part of the Seller, its employees, sub-contractors or agents (including without limitation negligence) in connection with this Order or the Goods.
Where delivery time is critical and later delivery is expected to result in financial loss to the Purchaser, liquidated damages for late delivery will be negotiated in good faith.
All Intellectual Property including plans, drawings, computer programmes, designs, specifications and any other documentation supplied by the Purchaser to the Seller will remain the property of the Purchaser. Any information derived therefrom or otherwise communicated to the Seller in connection with this Order must be treated as secret and confidential. Except in connection with the execution of this Order or with the prior written consent of the Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion, such information must not be published or disclosed to any third party or used by the Seller. The Seller will take all steps necessary to protect the confidentiality of such information including without limitation if requested by the Purchaser commencing legal proceedings at the Seller's cost.
(a) If the Goods are standard stock merchandise of the Seller, the Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion may by notice at any time cancel any un-dispatched portion of this Order without further obligation except to pay for Goods already dispatched prior to receipt of such notice.
(b)
(1) If this Order covers merchandise manufactured to the specifications of the Purchaser, then at any time prior to completion of the work, the Purchaser may in its sole and absolute discretion by notice cancel this Order and upon receipt of such notice, the Seller must stop all work except as otherwise notified by the Purchaser.
(2) Upon receipt of such notice, the Purchaser will pay to the Seller the Seller's actual out of pocket expenses to date of receipt of any notice, including its reasonable costs in connection with cancellation of any sub-contracts approved by Purchaser AND five per cent (5%) of such costs.
In no event will the total amount to be paid exceed the purchase price AND provided further that if the Seller at the time of receipt of such notice is in default in delivery or under any other terms or conditions of this Order, the Seller will not be entitled to the five per cent (5%) of its actual out of pocket expenses.
(3) Upon such payments, any materials or uncompleted portion of the Goods will become the property of the Purchaser and subject to its control.
(c) This Order may be cancelled in whole or in part by the Purchaser by notice at any time prior to dispatch without further obligation if between the date of this Order and the date of dispatch new requirements are imposed by any government or other authority in Australia in respect of the Goods and the Goods do not comply with such requirements.
(d) If in the sole and absolute opinion of the Purchaser the quantity of Goods dispatched or the date of dispatch from the Seller differs significantly from the quantity or date of dispatch specified by the Purchaser in this Order the Purchaser may by notice in writing cancel this Order in whole or part without further obligation except to pay for Goods already dispatched prior to the Seller's receipt of such notice.
(e) Without limiting any other rights of the Purchaser under the Terms and Conditions the Purchaser may elect to cancel this Order without further obligation, by notice to the Seller upon:
(1) any application to make the Seller bankrupt, or to dissolve the Seller, or to wind up the Seller;
(2) the Seller resolving to enter into any form of insolvency administration;
(3) a receiver, a receiver and manager, provisional liquidator, special investigator or official manager being appointed to the Seller;

(6) the rights of the Purchaser under this clause are in addition to any rights of the Purchaser by law;
(7) apart from this clause, the Seller will not be entitled to any damages (including without limitation loss of profit) in connection with any cancellation or termination of this Order.
(a) In respect of any matter or thing which must be done by the Seller within a stipulated period, time is of the essence.
(b) If any of these Terms and Conditions is illegal, unenforceable or void then to the extent of such illegality, unenforceability or invalidity that term will be considered independently of and severable from the other Terms and Conditions in any way whatsoever.
(c) A certificate by an employee of the Purchaser as to any act or omission of the Seller shall be accepted by the Seller in all courts and at all times to be prima facie evidence of the matters stated therein.
(d) These Terms and Conditions will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of New South Wales and the Seller irrevocably agrees to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of that State.
(e) All notices under these terms and conditions must be in writing. A notice given by the Purchaser to the last known place of business of the Seller will be deemed received on delivery or the business day in New South Wales following posting, whichever is the earlier.
(f) In the event of a complete or partial stoppage of work at the Purchaser's premises due to force majeure (including without limitation, fire, power, failure, strike, lock-out, floors, riot, civil commotion, government action or any other reasonable cause) this Order may be partially or wholly suspended by the Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion by notice to the Seller at any time during or after such stoppage.
