General
Any order accepted by Pos Direct Pty Ltd (ABN 68 618 244 796) for the supply of Goods shall be deemed to incorporate these Terms and Conditions of Sale. No variation or modification of, or substitution for these Terms and Conditions of Sale (even if included in, or referred to in, the document placing the order) shall be binding on the Company, unless previously and specifically accepted by the Company in writing. Acceptance of these Terms and Conditions of Sale does not necessarily imply access to all the Company’s products. Certain products are classified as Authorised Products and are not necessarily available to all the Company’s customers. The Company may make changes to these Terms and Conditions of Sale (including any credit terms) from time to time by notice to the Customer. The Customer is treated as having accepted the changed terms if it sends an order to the Company after receiving its notice of those changes.
Prices
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company, the Company reserves the right to vary the price stated for the Goods in order to take account of any increase in shipping costs, product costs or cost of materials, services or exchange rate fluctuations at the time of acceptance of the Customers Purchase Order. The Company will notify the Customer of any such changes. All prices listed are GST exclusive unless otherwise stated and subject to change without notice. The Company reserves the right to accept or reject any Purchase Order, whether written or verbal, at its discretion. Quoted travel prices for jobs including flights and accommodation are valid for two (2) business days upon issued date of the quote. We reserve the right to increase pricing quoted due to the constant changes and availability of flights and accommodation.
Payment
Terms of payment are prior to delivery. Payment may be made by Cheque, Credit Card (MasterCard or Visa), or Direct Credit. Credit terms may be offered to an approved Customer when a satisfactory trading history has been established. The Customer warrants that as far as it is aware neither it nor any of its shareholders, controllers or owners are insolvent. The Customer acknowledges that the Company may, in its absolute discretion, approve or refuse to extend any credit to the Customer. If credit is extended to the Customer, the Company may reduce or withdraw any credit extended to the Customer and require it to immediately pay all moneys owed to the Company if the Customer:
(i) breaches any of these Terms and Conditions of Sale; or
(ii) in the Company’s reasonable opinion, may or is suffering from an insolvency event.
The acceptance by the Company of any cheque or negotiable instrument shall not constitute payment unless and until the same has been honoured.
Without prejudice to any other rights of action the Company may have, unless payment is made to the Company on the due date for payment, the Customer’s account will be automatically suspended until it is brought within the Terms and Conditions of Sale (unless otherwise arranged and confirmed in writing by the Company such as a bona fide dispute). The Customer agrees to pay interest to the Company on all overdue charges at the rate of 1.5% per month payable monthly (or such lesser rate as the Company may specify in writing) from the due date for payment until actual payment thereof, excepting any bona fide dispute which has been set aside.
In the event of an account not being paid by the due date the Customer will pay to the Company all debt collection agency costs and legal fees (on an indemnity basis) incurred by the Company in obtaining payment of the amount from the Customer. In addition, interest is payable on such debt collection agency costs and legal fees at the cumulative rate of 1.5% per month calculated monthly from the date on which they are paid by the Company until payment of the same by the Customer to the Company.
Assignment
An order and any payments to be made in relation to it shall not be assigned or transferred without the prior written approval of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Delivery
Delivery will be made to the location specified on the order form and the Customer shall be liable for all freight costs.
No claim for damage in transit or shortage in delivery will be considered in cases where the Company has agreed to deliver the Goods to the Customer unless a separate notice in writing is given to the carrier concerned and the Company immediately the Goods are received followed by detailed and complete claim in writing within 2 trading days of delivery. In the event of loss or destruction of the Goods in transit, advice of non-delivery must be submitted in writing to the carrier and to the Company within 7 days of the date of consignment as advised by the Company to the Customer.
Any period or dates quoted for delivery are to be regarded as approximate only and the Company accepts no liability for any loss, injury damage or expenses consequent upon any delay in delivery of Goods. Delay due to circumstances not reasonably within the control of the Company shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any order or to refuse to accept delivery.
Notwithstanding that the title to the Goods may not have passed, the risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer upon delivery.
When the Company is required to procure overseas Goods to fulfil an order, the order is subject to confirmation by the Company and it is also subject to an import licence being available if and when required.
Force Majeure
Should the Company be delayed in or prevented from making delivery owing to any cause whatsoever beyond the Company’s control, including but not limited to Acts of God, war, strike, riots, government intervention, industrial stoppage or natural disaster or otherwise, the Company shall be at liberty to cancel or suspend any affected order without incurring any liability for any loss or damage resulting there from.
Insurance
Insurance will not be effected by the Company on Goods forwarded from the Company’s premises unless the Company receives written instructions from the Customer to insure.
Cancellation of Order
Once an order has been accepted and invoiced by the Company it may not be cancelled for any cause whatsoever without the Company’s consent in writing. Where such cancellation is agreed, the Customer will cover all costs in returning the Goods to the Company and ensure that the Goods are insured in transit and returned to the Company’s premises in original unmarked packaging including all original documentation and accessories. Such an order cancelled by the Customer will incur a re-stocking fee of a minimum of $30.00, or 15% of the invoiced value of the Goods, whichever is the greater.
Upon a Customer placing a special order or an indent order of Goods that are of a special nature or quantity, the Customer will be deemed to have invited the Company to allocate or order Goods or additional production time for its fulfilment and to have agreed that the Customer’s order will be irrevocable pending acceptance or rejection by the Company within a reasonable time.

Ownership
The risk in any Goods supplied by the Company to a Customer shall pass to the Customer when such Goods are delivered to the Customer or into custody on the Customer’s behalf. Until the Customer has discharged all outstanding indebtedness to the Company in respect of all Goods, the Company retains ownership in all Goods delivered to the Customer or into custody on the Customer’s behalf (Retained Goods).
Until payment in full of such indebtedness for all Goods has been made to the Company, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) it holds the Retained Goods as fiduciary and bailee agent for the Company; (ii) it will store, at all times, the Retained Goods separately from its or any 3rd party’s goods so that they remain identifiable; (iii) it will not encumber or allow any charge or security interest over the Retained Goods except as provided in these Terms and Conditions of Sale; (iv) it will insure the Retained Goods; and (v) the Company is permitted to enter into the Customer’s premises without prior notice to inspect and/or repossess the Retained Goods, and to keep or resell any of the Retained Goods repossessed.
If the Customer manufactures, intermingles or deals with the Retained Goods in such a manner that they become an integral part of any other object (Processed Goods) then the Customer holds these Processed Goods on trust for the Company to the extent the Retained Goods are incorporated or used to produce the Processed Goods, until payment in full of such indebtedness for all Goods has been made to the Company.
Unless otherwise directed by the Company, the Customer may, on behalf of the Company, sell the Retained Goods and Processed Goods to a third party in the normal course of trade. The Customer is accountable to the Company for the proceeds derived from the sale of Retained Goods, and in the case of Processed Goods, to the extent the Retained Goods are incorporated or used to produce the Processed Goods. The Customer shall hold such proceeds in trust for the Company in a separately identifiable account for the Company’s benefit and must give the proceeds to the Company when asked.
The Customer must maintain separate records in relation to the Retained Goods and Processed Goods, and make these records, Retained Goods, and Processed Goods available for the Company’s inspection at any time on reasonable notice to the Customer.

The Company may register on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) a security interest or purchase money security interest (PMSI) in the Goods.

The Customer undertakes promptly: (i) to do all things, sign any further documents and provide any further information (which information the Customer warrants to be complete, accurate and up-to-date in all respects) which the Company may reasonably require to enable the Company to perfect, and maintain the perfection of, its security interest or PMSI (including by registration of a financing statement or financing change statement on the PPSR);(ii) not to register a financing statement or financing
change statement in respect of the Goods without the Company’s prior written consent; and (iii) to give the Company no less than 14 days’ prior written notice of any proposed change in the Customer’s name or any other change in the Customer’s details (including, but not limited to, changes in its address, facsimile number or trading name).
The Customer waives its right under section 157 of the PPSA to receive notice of any verification of any registration pursuant to the PPSA.
