PAYMENT TERMS
Unless you have a Credit Facility with us which is not in default:
(a) deposits we have requested must be paid before we commence providing Goods and Services;
(b) you must pay for all Goods before they are despatched (in cash or cleared funds); and
(c) you must pay for all Services on a progressive hourly basis as performed.
Payment may be made by cash, cheque, electronic funds transfer, Visa, or Mastercard credit cards. We reserve the right to change the payment methods that we accept at any time.
We may charge a payment surcharge for applicable payment transactions equal to our reasonable cost of acceptance.
You agree to pay GST on all taxable supplies upon us issuing you a tax invoice relating to the taxable supply.
You agree to pay sums due to us free of any set off or counterclaim and without deduction or withholding.
Delivery and Risk
We will use reasonable endeavours to deliver the Goods at the time and place agreed for delivery. You will make arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Goods.
You acknowledge and agree that:
(a) unless the contract for supply expressly states otherwise, time in respect of delivery is not of the essence; and
(b) any timeframe or date for delivery is an estimate only and is not a contractual commitment.
Risk of loss, damage, or deterioration to the Goods passes to you, and delivery is deemed to occur, at the time:
(a) you or any third party on your behalf collect the Goods from us;
(b) we or our nominated carrier deliver the Goods to the delivery location stated in your Order (or to such other location as agreed in writing); or
(c) your nominated carrier takes possession of the Goods.
It is your responsibility to provide suitable, practical, and safe means of access and egress to the place agreed for delivery. If the site is deemed unsuitable or unsafe (at the delivery driver’s sole discretion), then the delivery driver may:
(a) refuse to deliver the Goods and return the Goods to the point of despatch (in which case an additional delivery fee will apply to any subsequent delivery attempt); or
(b) deliver the Goods to the location nearest to the agreed place for delivery where delivery can be safely effected.
You agree to sign our delivery docket or consignment note or that of our nominated carrier as confirmation that you have received the Goods, and if appropriate, certify that you have received the Goods in apparent good order and condition in the quantity or volume you have ordered.
If you authorise us to deliver the Goods to an unattended location or to leave them outside the agreed place for delivery, we may deliver the Goods as requested at your risk.
If delivery or collection of the Goods is deferred:
(a) at your request; or
(b) due to you being unable or unwilling to accept delivery of the Goods (other than as a result of the Goods delivered not being in accordance with the contract for supply);
in circumstances where:
(c) we are ready to deliver the Goods and a delivery date has not been agreed; or
(d) the Goods are due to be delivered or collected on an agreed delivery date,
then you will pay to us:
(e) reasonable daily storage charges (which will continue to accrue until such time as the Goods are delivered or collected); and
(f) any costs associated with us or our nominated carrier attempting to re-deliver the Goods (where we or our nominated carrier has previously attempted to deliver the Goods).
You acknowledge and agree that we may deliver the Goods in one or more lots and may invoice you for pro rata progress in respect thereof.
