  • We can revise our prices at any time prior to accepting your order.
  • Purchase prices are given in New Zealand dollars.
  • You are bound to pay us the price once we accept your order. A quotation does not give rise to a binding contract until you place an order which we subsequently accept.

Payment with an Account

  • Payment is due by the 20th of the month following the date of invoice. We can alter the terms of payment with effect from the date that we notify you of such change.
  • We can impose a credit limit on you at any time, and alter it at our discretion with effect from the date that we notify you of such change. If you exceed your credit limit, we can refuse to supply goods to you.
  • If we at any time consider your credit worthiness to be unsatisfactory we can require security for payment.
  • You cannot withhold payment or make any deductions from any amount you owe us without our prior written consent.

The price will be inclusive of GST and other taxes and duties which may be applicable.

In using the Seller’s Transaction Processing Service for purchasing the goods the Buyer represents and warrants that he or she is over 18 and has the legal capacity to contract in New Zealand. As the Buyer is using a credit card to process a transaction, the Buyer represents and warrants that the credit card is issued in his or her name and the Buyer shall pay to the issuer all charges incurred through the use of the Transaction Processing Service.

Delivery

  • Where we agree to transport the goods to a specified place, we will deliver, or arrange delivery of, the goods to that place. Except where otherwise agreed, you will pay for all resulting transportation costs.
  • If no place of delivery is specified, delivery shall take place at the time when the goods are made available for despatch at our premises.

  • Any time stated for delivery is an estimate only. No claim shall be made by you on account of late shipment, or delivery however caused.
  • All freight charges shall be at your cost unless otherwise agreed and stated.

Returns & Cancelled Orders

Goods may be returned for credit, exchange or refund if they are faulty or have been supplied in error, or if returned within 7 days and in perfect condition, undamaged and clean.

  • No goods shall be returned for credit without our prior approval and must be returned with details of the original invoice number and date.

  • You will be liable for all delivery and insurance charges incurred in respect of returned goods.

Risk & Ownership

Risk of any loss, damage or deterioration of or to the goods passes to you on delivery.
Ownership of the goods remains with us and does not pass to you until you pay all amounts you owe to us or resell the goods in accordance with these terms. While ownership of the goods remains with us:

  • You must store them separately or clearly identify them as belonging to us.
  • We authorise you in the ordinary course of your business to use the goods or sell them for full consideration. This authority is revoked from the earlier of the following: we deem your credit to be unsatisfactory; the occurrence of an Event of Default; or the time that we notify you in writing that this authority is revoked.
  • We can enter the premises where the goods are stored and remove them without being responsible for any damage caused in doing so. We can resell any of the goods and apply the proceeds of sale in reduction of amounts you owe to us.
  • If you resell or use the goods before ownership of the goods has passed to you, the proceeds of such sale or use shall be received and held by you (in whatever form) in trust for both you and us. Our interest as beneficiary under that trust shall be that portion of the proceeds which does not exceed all amounts you owe us. You will be entitled to the balance of the proceeds.
  • We can bring an action for the price of the goods sold even where ownership of the goods may not have passed to you.

Guarantees

Where the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 ("Act") applies:

If the goods are acquired by you for business purposes you agree that the Act does not apply. If you on-supply goods you must:

  • Do so on the basis that the Act does not apply where the goods are on-supplied for business purposes; and
  • Notify consumers that neither we nor any manufacturer undertake that repair facilities or spare parts will be available.
  • You acknowledge that no Express Guarantees (as defined in the Act) are provided.
  • If a claim is made directly against us by a consumer under the Act then you will refund to us the amount of any damages (up to the value of the margin you made on the goods in question) we are required to pay to that consumer under the Act.
  • Nothing in these terms is intended to have the effect of contracting out of the provisions of the Act except to the extent permitted by the Act.
  • Except as otherwise required or prevented by law or except as expressly provided under these terms, we are not liable for any claim in relation to any goods we supply to you (including as a result of negligence or otherwise) and all representations, guarantees, warranties and terms of whatever nature (including fitness for purpose) are completely excluded.

Repairs & Replacements

We do not undertake that repair facilities and parts will be available for the goods. We will not be liable to repair or replace any defective goods and at our own discretion we may:

  • notify the manufacturer of the goods of any defect notified by you; and
  • request the manufacturer to repair or replace any defective goods.

Default

If you do not pay the price by due date, we may charge a default penalty at a rate of 2.5% per month calculated on a daily basis on the unpaid portion of the price from the due date until payment in full, plus any GST.

You will, on demand, pay to us any amount we incur (including solicitors' and collection agency costs, court costs and disbursements) in recovering payment of any overdue account.

If an Event of Default occurs, we may suspend or terminate any contract with you.

If an Event of Default occurs, all amounts you owe us shall immediately become due and payable notwithstanding that the due date has not arisen.

An "Event of Default"; means an event where:

  • you fail to comply with the terms of any contract with us; or
  • you commit an act of bankruptcy; or
  • you enter into any composition or arrangement with your creditors; or
  • if you are a company:
  • you do anything which would make you liable to be put into liquidation; or
  • a resolution is passed or an application is made for liquidation; or
  • a receiver or statutory manager is appointed over all or any of your assets.

Use of Information

You agree that we may obtain information about you from you or any other person (including any credit or debt collection agencies) in the course of our business, and you consent to any person providing us with such information.

You agree that we may give any information we have about you relating to your credit worthiness to any other person, including any credit or debt collection agency, for credit assessment and debt collection purposes.

You must notify us of any change in circumstances that may affect the accuracy of the information you provided to us or our group of companies. (If you are an individual, i.e. a natural person, you have rights under the Privacy Act 1993 to access and request the correction of any personal information that we hold about you).

No Liability

We shall not be liable for any delays or failure in complying with any obligation imposed on us under any contract or for any loss or damage (including indirect or consequential loss of profits, data or damage) as claimed by you.

Should any liability in relation to this agreement (or the goods supplied under this agreement) be imposed on us for any reason, our total liability to you is limited to the price of those goods and services supplied by us to which the liability relates. We will not, in any case, be liable for any consequential or special damages, including loss of business profits.

If we are unable to provide our obligations under the terms of this agreement by reason of strike, lock-out, riot, industrial action, fire, storm, operation of law or other cause beyond our control, then we are released from our obligations under this agreement.

Indemnity

You hereby indemnify and will keep us indemnified against all obligations and liabilities incurred by an act or omission by you in relation to this agreement.

Cancellation

We have the right to cancel this agreement (without prejudice to any of its rights) immediately upon any of the events:

  • If you cease or threaten to cease to carry on business; or
  • If a receiver or similar officer is appointed in respect of all or any assets belonging to you, or you are unable to pay your debts when they fall due, enter into a scheme with your creditors or any steps are taken to place you into liquidation; or
  • If you commit a breach of this agreement and the breach is not remedied within 14 days of notification of the breach by us.
  • Upon termination we will be entitled to repossess and resell any unpaid goods within the term of terms risk and ownership. Termination shall not relieve you from any liability or responsibility that has arisen before the date of termination.
