TERMS OF TRADE

1 General
1.1 These Terms of Trade apply to all transactions between the Customer and the Supplier relating to the provision of Goods and Services, including all quotations, contracts and variations. These Terms of Trade take precedence over Terms of Trade contained in any document of the Customer or elsewhere.
1.2 The variation or waiver of a provision of these terms or a party’s consent to a departure from a provision by another party is ineffective unless in writing signed by the parties.

2 Orders
2.1 Every Order by the Customer for the provision of Goods or Services must be submitted in writing on the Supplier’s standard Order form (unless otherwise agreed).
2.2 An Order will not be placed by the Customer unless the Order clearly identifies the Goods or Services ordered. Any costs incurred by the Supplier in reliance on incorrect or inadequate information may result in the imposition of an Additional Charge.
2.3 Orders must be signed by an authorised representative of the Customer and must specify the required date of delivery.
2.4 Placement of an Order by the Customer signifies acceptance by the Customer of these Terms of Trade.
2.5 The Supplier may in its absolute discretion refuse to provide Goods or Services where:
(a) Goods are unavailable for any reason whatsoever;
(b) credit limits cannot be agreed upon or have been exceeded; or
(c) payment for Goods or Services previously provided to the Customer or any related corporation of the Customer or to any other party who is, in the reasonable opinion of the Supplier, associated with the Customer under the same or another supply contract, has not been received by the Supplier.
2.6 An Order cannot be cancelled without the prior written consent of the Supplier. Where an Order is cancelled, the Customer indemnifies the Supplier against any Losses incurred by the Supplier as a result of the cancellation, including, but not limited to loss of profit from other orders foregone as a result of the scheduling of the Order which is subsequently cancelled.

3 Variations
3.1 The Customer may request that its Order be varied by providing a request in writing to the Supplier. A request for a variation must be agreed to in writing by the Supplier in order to have effect.
3.2 If the Customer wishes to vary its requirements after the placement of an Order, the Supplier reserves the right to vary the Order to include any Additional Charge in respect of any extra costs incurred or additional work carried out due to the variation, in accordance with its then current charge rates. A revised Order issued by the Supplier in respect of the requested variation supersedes the original Order. If the revised Order only specifies additional work, the Order for that additional work will be in addition to the immediately preceding Order for the Goods and/or Services.
3.3 The Supplier has an automatic extension of time for the provision of the Goods or Services equal to the delay caused by the variation.

4 Invoicing and payment
4.1 The Supplier may in its absolute discretion, issue an invoice to the Customer in any one or more of the following ways:
(a) prior to commencing the provision of the Goods or Services, for an amount equal to the Order and Additional Charges where the Supplier has not previously carried out work for the Customer or where the Supplier chooses to do so; or
(b) upon completion of the provision of the Goods or Services or any time thereafter, for an amount representing the Supplier’s charge for the work performed in completing the Order and for any Additional Charges.
4.2 The amount payable in an invoice is as per the Order and any Additional Charges.
4.3 The Customer must pay an invoice issued by the Supplier to the Supplier within 14 days of a valid tax invoice being issued to the Customer.

5.2 The imposition of Additional Charges may also occur as a result of cancellation by the Customer of an Order where cancellation results in Loss of the Supplier, storage costs for goods not collected from the Supplier within 2 weeks of the date on which the Goods are manufactured, fabricated, created or formed at the rate set out in the Order, photocopying, communication costs, couriers, packing and handling, Government or council taxes or charges, additional work required by the Customer or any other occurrence which causes the Supplier to incur costs in respect of the Customer’s Order additional to the quoted cost.

6 Acceptance of Goods
