Formation of Contract
- Quotations are exclusive of GST and shall remain valid for a period of fourteen (14) days from the date of quotation, unless otherwise specified in writing. The Supplier, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to withdraw, vary or extend any quotation at any time prior to the formation of a Contract in accordance with clause 10.
- Quotations made by the Supplier are considered to be estimates only and will not be construed as an offer or obligation to supply in accordance with the quotation. The Supplier reserves the right to accept or reject, at its discretion, any Order. Only written acceptance by the Supplier of an offer will complete a Contract.
- Placement of an Order, either verbally or in writing, will constitute acceptance of these terms and conditions.
- At the Supplier’s sole discretion, a deposit may be required. The deposit amount or percentage of the Price due will be stipulated at the time of the Order of the Goods and/or Services and shall immediately become due and payable upon the formation of a Contract in accordance with clause 10. For the purposes of clarity, where a deposit is requested, the Supplier is under no obligation to supply Goods and/ Services until the deposit has been received by the Supplier in cleared funds.
Variations
- Where the Customer requests or directs that any Goods and/or Services be supplied that are not strictly in accordance with the quotation or Order, then such Goods and/or Services shall constitute a variation, unless otherwise agreed between the parties.
- The Customer understands and agrees that:
(a) all variations must be agreed between the parties in writing prior to the Goods and/or Services being supplied; and
(b) all variations shall be, at the Supplier’s discretion, invoiced at the rate(s) specified in the quotation, as specifically quoted, or in accordance with the Supplier’s current prevailing rates (as amended from time to time).
- Notwithstanding clauses 13 and 14, and subject to any rights the Customer might have under any relevant legislation, the Supplier reserves the right to vary the quoted price if:
(a) there is any movement in the cost of supplying the Goods and/or Services specified in the Order (including, without limitation, any actual increase in the costs to the Supplier in procuring or transporting the Goods, actual increases in labour in connection with the supply of the Goods and/or Services, currency fluctuations and availability of the Goods);
(b) the Goods and/or Services specified in the Order are varied from the Goods and/or Services specified in the Supplier’s quotation; or
(c) otherwise as provided for in these terms and conditions.
Cancellation of Orders
- Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the parties, the Customer may not cancel an Order (or any part of an Order), delivery of the Goods cannot be deferred and Goods ordered cannot be returned except with the prior written consent of the Supplier and then (subject to clause 40(b)) only upon terms that the Customer reimburse and indemnify the Supplier against all losses it has incurred or may incur as a result of the cancellation, deferral or return, including, without limitation, cartage, bank charges, other incidental expenses incurred on any part of the Order and loss of profits.
- Notwithstanding any other rights the Supplier may have under this agreement, the Supplier may, in its sole discretion, cancel any Order or delivery of any Order, by providing written notice to the Customer, if the Customer:
