TERMS
General Terms and Conditions of Sale of Goods
1. These terms and conditions of sale apply to all contracts of sale entered into by Stronglink Pty Ltd (“seller”), unless amended in writing and signed by a senior officer of the seller. By acceptance of deliveries made in pursuance of any purchase order placed upon seller, buyer accepts the terms and conditions contained herein. Seller's failure to object to any term or condition contained in any communication from buyer shall not be deemed a waiver of these terms and conditions.
2. The credit terms set out in the buyer's credit application form part of these conditions. All invoices are net and are due and payable 30 days from the end of the month in which the invoice is raised.
3. Price lists are subject to change without notice and the invoice price will be based on the price list current at the date of invoice. A quotation is not to be construed as an offer or obligation to sell and seller reserves the right to accept or reject any orders received.
4. The buyer shall have no right of set-off in respect of any claim against seller.
5. Seller supplies goods on condition that:
(a) The goods are at the risk of buyer as soon as the goods have been delivered to or into the custody of buyer or buyer's agent or otherwise at the direction of buyer. Delivery to the buyer's nominated carrier shall constitute delivery to buyer:
(b) Property in and legal title to the goods remains with seller until they and all other goods previously supplied by seller to buyer whether under this or any other contract (collectively referred to as “the goods”) have been paid for by buyer. Until the goods have been paid for:
| |
(i) Seller may by its servants and agents enter buyer's premises or elsewhere at any time without notice to inspect the goods;
(ii) Buyer must store the goods including other goods into which the goods have been incorporated in such a manner as to show clearly that the goods are the property of seller;
(iii) Buyer must deliver up the goods to seller on demand, and in default of delivery, seller may by its servants and agents enter buyer's premises or elsewhere at any time without notice and repossess the goods;
(iv) To the extent (if any) that the property in and legal title to the goods has passed to buyer by operation of law, then seller has a specific lien over the goods until paid for in full; and
(v) If buyer receives any proceeds from the sale of the goods from any other party, buyer receives those proceeds on trust for seller to be applied in payment of the purchase price for the goods and those proceeds must be kept separate and dealt with separately by buyer at all times until they have been paid to seller.
The whole of this clause applies notwithstanding any arrangements under which seller grants credit to buyer. Buyer indemnifies seller from and against all costs or damages which might be incurred by seller arising out of its taking possession of the goods. |
6. Seller reserves the right to make delivery in installments unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing to the contrary by seller. All such installments when separately invoiced shall be paid for when due in accordance with the invoice without regard to subsequent deliveries.
