3 Orders and specifications
3.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of clause 2.1 above, no quotation issued by the Seller shall be treated as an offer to sell the Goods specified therein.

All such orders shall only be deemed to have been accepted by the Seller when unconditionally accepted in writing by the Seller’s authorized representative. 
3.2 The Buyer shall be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the terms of any order (including any applicable specification) submitted by the Buyer to the Seller, and for giving the Seller any necessary information relating to the Goods within a sufficient time to enable the Seller to perform the Contract inaccordance with its terms

3.7 The Seller shall be entitled to cancel any Contract, without incurring any liability to the Buyer, in the event that prior to collection or delivery of the Goods it becomes aware of any information which leads the Seller to believe, in its discretion, that the supply of those Goods to the Buyer may be illegal, or in breach of or contrary to any trade sanctions which govern the Seller or the Buyer, or to which the Seller may voluntarily adhere or apply. In this respect the Seller hereby notifies the Buyer that the Seller adheres to the Indutrade Export Control and Trade Sanctions Policy , a copy of which can be provided upon request.

Where the Goods are supplied for export from Australia, the Seller's export price list for the Buyer’s country shall apply. All prices quoted are valid for 30 days only after which time they shall automatically expire. The provisions of this clause are nevertheless subject to the provisions of clause 3.1 above regarding offer and acceptance.
4.2 The Seller reserves the right, by giving notice to the Buyer at any time before delivery, to increase the price of the Goods to reflect:
       i. any increase in the cost to the Seller of manufacturing or supplying the Goods in question which is due to any factor beyond the control of the Seller (such as, without limitation, any foreign exchange fluctuation, currency regulation, alteration of duties, significant increase in the costs of labour, materials or other costs of manufacture), 
       ii. any change in quantities or specifications for the Goods which is requested by the Buyer, 
       iii. any delay in the delivery date where such delay was at the request of, or which is caused or contributed to by any fault, error or inadequacy of, the Buyer, and where during the period of such delay the Seller’s prices increase due to any increase in raw material costs or other costs of manufacture or supply; or 
       iv. any delay caused by any instructions of the Buyer or failure of the Buyer to give the Seller adequate information or instructions.
4.3 Unless otherwise agreed in writing between the Buyer and the Seller, all prices quoted by the Seller are exclusive of taxes which shall be payable in addition. Such prices are also deemed to have been quoted on a ‘ex-works’ (Incoterms 2022) basis and shall therefore be deemed to exclude the cost of transportation, packaging, insurance, and any importation or exportation tariffs, duties or taxes which may be payable, Where the Seller agrees to deliver the Goods to the Buyer’s premises (or to some other premises specified by the Buyer), the Buyer shall be liable to pay all such additional charges, costs, tariffs, duties and taxes which may be applicable.

          “Tax Invoice” has the same meaning given to that term under the GST Act. 
       ii. Unless otherwise specified, all prices quoted by the Seller or detailed in any Contract do not include any amount for GST. 
       iii. If provision of the Goods is subject to GST, the Buyer must pay the Seller an amount in addition to the amount payable to the Seller equal to the GST payable for that supply.

5.2 Where the Seller has agreed to afford credit terms to the Buyer:
5.3 the Seller shall be entitled to invoice the Buyer for the price of the Goods on or at any time after delivery of the Goods, unless the Goods are to be collected by the Buyer or the Buyer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the Goods, in which event the Seller shall be entitled to invoice the Buyer for the price at any time after the Seller has notified the Buyer that the Goods are ready for collection or (as the case may be) the Seller has tendered delivery of the Goods . 
5.4 the Buyer shall pay the price of the Goods within 30 days of the date of the Seller's invoice, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller and the Seller shall be entitled to recover the price, notwithstanding that delivery may not have taken place and the property in the Goods has not passed to the Buyer. The time of payment of the price shall be of the essence of the Contract.
5.5 If the Buyer fails to make any payment on the due date then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller shall beentitled to:

6 Delivery
6.1 Unless otherwise agreed by the Seller, the Buyer shall be responsible for collecting the Goods from the Seller’s premises once the Seller has notified the Buyer that those Goods are available for collection.
6.2 Any dates quoted by the Seller as to when the Goods are anticipated to be ready for collection by, or will be delivered to, the Buyer are approximate only and the Seller shall not be liable for any delay in delivery of the Goods howsoever caused. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence unless previously agreed by the Seller in writing. Where the Seller has agreed to deliver the Goods to the Buyer, the Goods may be delivered by the Seller in advance of the quoted delivery date upon giving reasonable notice to the Buyer. Where Goods are to be collected by the Buyer, the Buyer shall arrange to collect the same within 14 days of being notified by the Seller that they are ready for collection. 
6.3 If the Seller fails to deliver the Goods for any reason other than where that failure arises because of any cause beyond the Seller's reasonable control or because of the Buyer's default, and the Seller is accordingly liable to the Buyer, the Seller's liability shall be limited to the additional cost (if any) incurred by the Buyer in purchasing goods which are similar to the Goods (in the cheapest available market) to replace those not delivered over and above the price which the Buyer had agreed to pay for the Goods.
6.4 If the Buyer fails to collect the Goods within the time period specified in clause 6.2 , or fails to take delivery of the Goods when tendered for delivery, or fails to give the Seller adequate delivery instructions to enable delivery to take place at the time stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of any cause beyond the Buyer's reasonable control or by reason of the Seller's fault) then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy available to the Seller, the Seller may:

to detach the Goods from that larger item and shall not be responsible for any damage caused to that larger item whilst doing so provided the Seller exercised reasonable care in detaching the same.
7.5 The Buyer shall not be entitled to pledge or in any way charge by way of security any of the Goods which remain under the ownership of the Seller, but if the Buyer does so all monies owing by the Buyer to the Seller shall (without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Seller) forthwith become due and payable.
