These terms of trade together with any credit application, quotation, order (including on-line or web-based orders) or proposal to which these terms are attached or in which these terms are referred (each called an “Engagement Form”), together make up a legally binding agreement (the Agreement) between POWERDOWN AUSTRALIA PTY LTD ABN: 20 003 833 574 (the “Supplier”) AND the person(s) or company named as the purchaser (the “Purchaser”) in the attached or previously signed or submitted Engagement Form, AND if the Purchaser is a corporation, the directors of the Purchaser who have signed or otherwise agreed to this Agreement (the “Guarantor/s”).

This Agreement may be accepted by doing either one or more of the following:

(a) Signing these terms and conditions of trade; or
(b) Signing the Engagement Form; or
(c) Placing an order or accepting a quotation or proposal after receiving notice of these terms and conditions of trade.

For the purposes of the preceding paragraphs the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that reviewing and/or placing an order relying on or referring to a catalogue of products or other promotional material generated by or on behalf of the Supplier (“Catalogues”) in which these terms and conditions of trade are referred is adequate notice of these terms of trade.

In this Agreement “Copyright Material” means and includes (without limitation) logos and marks relating or referring to the Supplier’s brands or products or brands or products to which the Supplier is otherwise entitled to promote appearing in Catalogues or on the Supplier’s website, including Powerdown, Adjustable T, Cool Cell, SuperShock, Road Train, Powerdown LTS, Tuff Yellow, RAW 4X4, RAW Nitromax, RAW Nitro, Predator, RAW Bigbore, RAW RFX, Ridewell Suspensions and Hadley.

Please read the undermentioned terms carefully. If you do not understand these terms of trade you should seek legal advice.

1. The Purchaser must pay to the Supplier the price in relation to each purchase of goods as set out in the corresponding tax invoice. The agreed trading terms are 30 days from the end of the month in which an invoice is issued.

2. The Purchaser hereby agrees and acknowledges that at the absolute discretion of the Supplier an account keeping fee of 2% per month will be levied on any or all amounts in default of the agreed trading terms. The Purchaser agreed that this levy is not a penalty, but a genuine pre estimate of the likely damage to be suffered by the Supplier as a result of the Purchaser’s default.

3. The Purchaser further agrees to indemnify the Supplier for any legal costs incurred by the Supplier (including but not limited to charges and commission charged by mercantile agents) in respect of the enforcement of this Agreement, personal guarantees, securities given or other documentation required whilst credit is being offered in consequence of this Agreement. The Purchaser further agrees to indemnify the Supplier for any dishonoured cheque fees incurred and, in the event that the Purchaser’s account is in default of the agreed trading terms, to indemnify the Supplier against its collection fees and legal costs.

4. Without prejudice to any other rights the Supplier may have under this Agreement or at law, the Supplier may withdraw credit facilities to the Purchaser at any time without notice. Without limiting the Supplier’s rights to withdraw credit, the Supplier reserves the right to stop supply and place the account and any supply on hold until the account is returned to the agreed trading terms, and the Supplier agrees to recommence supply. Where credit has not been extended to the Purchaser or is otherwise suspended or withdrawn, then the Purchaser must pay for all goods purchased in full in cleared funds prior to the Supplier releasing those goods for shipping or collection.

5. These Terms of Trade apply to all transactions from which the Purchaser is supplied goods and/or services on credit. If any future contract between the Supplier and the Purchaser is inconsistent with these Terms of Trade, then these Terms of Trade will apply unless the subsequent contract refers to and specifically alters these Terms of Trade in writing.

6. Should there be any variation to any of the information supplied by the Purchaser in this Agreement or in the structure of the Purchaser’s business (such as a conversion to or from a company or trust or the appointment of new directors), the Supplier shall be notified in writing. Until a new Engagement Form is submitted and approved in writing by the Supplier, the original Engagement Form and those person(s) who signed as guarantor(s) shall remain liable to the Supplier as though all goods and services were supplied to the original Purchaser.

7. The Supplier reserves the right to amend these trading terms, provided such amendments are conveyed to the Purchaser in writing. The Purchaser further acknowledges that such writing will be sent by ordinary mail to the address set out in the Engagement Form, unless the Purchaser advises in writing to the Supplier a new address, and this new address is acknowledged by return in writing by the Supplier.

8. The Supplier shall be entitled at any time to assign its rights under this Agreement to its successors, nominated transferees or assigns, (including but not limited to, where applicable, personal guarantees), and that these Terms of Trade shall not be in any way affected or discharged pursuant to such assignment.

9. Placement Of Orders And Variations

9.1 The Purchaser may order the goods from the Supplier in writing, by phone, email, facsimile, Supplier-hosted on-line or web-based ordering (if the Supplier has this facility) or other electronic communication or telecommunication acceptable to the Supplier (which includes without limitation purchase orders, the acceptance by the Purchaser of a quotation, proposal or variation prepared by the Supplier) (“orders”). Upon placement of the order, the Purchaser will be bound to proceed with the purchase of the goods at a price confirmed by the Supplier.

9.2 The Supplier will notify the Purchaser if goods ordered cannot be supplied ex stock at time of the order, or within a reasonable period of time following the order, and will be placed on back order and supplied once goods are available to the Supplier. Goods will remain on back order for a period of 60 days from placement of the original order and will then be deemed to lapse (“lapsed goods”). The Purchaser must liaise with the Supplier to re-order the lapsed goods to ensure delivery. Until the Purchaser re-orders the lapsed goods the Supplier is under no obligation to supply or deliver the lapsed goods.

9.3 The Supplier will not be bound by any terms or conditions expressed in orders or acceptances generated by the Purchaser except to the extent that such terms have been expressly agreed upon between the parties in writing and signed by the Supplier. For the avoidance of doubt, even where the Purchaser attaches or refers to other terms and conditions in purchase orders or other requests for quotations or supply of goods and/or services, received after this Agreement has been entered into (additional terms), such additional terms are expressly excluded from this Agreement and will be of no force or effect against the Supplier unless it expressly agrees otherwise (by notice in writing, signed by a director of the Supplier).

9.4 The Supplier may decline to accept any order without providing a reason in its absolute discretion.

9.5 If the Purchaser requests or the Supplier deems there to be a variation in the scope of the supply of goods, then the Supplier may (but is not obliged to) notify the Purchaser in writing of the variation, the price variation, associated delays and any other information the Supplier deems relevant.

9.6 The Supplier is not obliged to commence any supply associated with any variation identified in accordance with clause 9.4 unless and until the Purchaser acknowledges and accepts in writing the variations contained in that notice

10. Caveatable Interest Clause: In the event of Default of the agreed trading terms by the Purchaser, then the Purchaser by its Director(s)/Proprietor(s)/Partners/Individual(s), nominated the Engagement Form hereby charge all their Right, Title of Interest (if any) to any or all property(ies) owned or partly owned solely or jointly by the said Purchaser / Director(s) / Proprietor(s) / Partners / Individual(s) in favour of the Supplier, with the due and punctual observance and performance of all of the obligations of the Purchaser hereunder. Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Supplier may, at its discretion, register a caveat on such property in respect of the interest conferred on it under this clause. In the event that the Supplier is required to exercise its right under this clause, against the Purchaser, then the Purchaser grants to the Supplier the right to appoint a Receiver and sell the property(ies).

11. Retention Of Title: Until ALL INVOICES are paid in full, and ALL MONIES receipted and cleared, ownership of any goods supplied by the Supplier remains with the Supplier, but the risk passes to the Purchaser on delivery. Delivery shall occur if the Supplier or its Agent delivers, on delivery, and or if the Purchaser or its Agent(s) takes delivery, at that point of delivery. Until the supplier is paid in full, the relationship of the Purchaser to the Supplier shall be fiduciary in respect of the goods and the Purchaser shall hold the goods as bailee only for the Supplier. The Purchaser shall store the goods separately from its own until ownership has manifested in the Purchaser. Should the goods be onsold to a third party before payment, or in the event of the Appointment of an Administrator, Controller, Managing Controller, Receiver or Receiver Manager, or entry into an Informal/Formal Deed of Arrangement under the Bankruptcy Act of 1966 by the Purchaser, then the Purchaser hereby assigns to the Supplier its right of recovery of payment from the third party. The money(ies) resulting from the sale of the goods are to be specifically earmarked and placed in a separate account on trust for the Supplier, until payment in full is made to the Supplier for the cost of the goods only, to guarantee clear passage of ownership to the third party innocent purchaser. In the event the Purchaser is in default of the agreed trading terms, then the Purchaser without reservation grants right of entry waiver to any or all properties under the Purchasers control, where the goods are reasonably expected to be stored and where such goods are stored at sites not in the control of the Purchaser, then the Purchaser undertakes to use best endeavours to procure immediate rights of entry for the Supplier in respect of those sites upon request made by the Supplier. The Purchaser indemnifies and saves harmless the Supplier, its servants or agents in relation to loss or damage as a result of the retaking of possession of the said goods. Further, in the event the Supplier exercises its right of retaking possession of the said goods, the Purchaser grants power of sale to the Supplier to resell the said goods and the Purchaser acknowledges that any shortfall owing after the said goods are resold will be the responsibility of the Purchaser.

12. Security and PPSA

12.1 For the purposes of this clause, “PPSA” means the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) as amended from time to time. Where a particular section or term existing or defined in the PPSA is used in this Agreement, it is deemed to be that section or term as used or defined in the PPSA as amended, renumbered or replaced from time to time.

12.2 The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement constitutes a security agreement in relation to the Supplier’s security interest in all present and after-acquired goods in accordance with the PPSA. The Purchaser agrees to grant a “Purchase Money Security Interest” to the Supplier.

12.3 For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it grants to the Supplier a security interest in all goods supplied by the Supplier to the Purchaser (whether now or in the future) and in any proceeds from the sale of those goods.

b) section 130 (notice of disposal), to the extent that it requires The Supplier to give a notice to the Purchaser;
c) section 132(3)(d) (contents of statement of account after disposal);
d) section 132(4) (statement of account if no disposal);
e) section 135 (notice of retention);
f) section 142 (redemption of collateral);
g) section 143 (reinstatement of security agreement).

12.5 For the purposes of section 14(6) of the PPSA, the Purchaser (and The Supplier) agree that any payments received from the Purchaser by the Supplier pursuant to or in any way connected with this Agreement, will be applied in such order as the Supplier deems fit in its absolute discretion.

12.6 The Purchaser consents to:
a) and agrees to execute any other document or instrument required to give effect to the security interests created by this Agreement; and
b) the registration with the relevant authority or public register of any security interest created by this Agreement or any other document required to give effect to a security interest created by this Agreement, including without limitation the registration of a financing statement or financing change statement on the Personal Property Securities Register.

Deliveries required outside normal working hours will only be delivered upon the written request of the Purchaser, and all additional charges will be the sole responsibility of the Purchaser. In the event the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s Agent is not on site to accept the delivery, then the driver’s signature denoting the time, date and place of delivery shall be deemed to be acceptance of the said delivery in the quantity ordered and received in good condition. The date of delivery set forth in the order form is made in good faith and the Supplier will be deemed to agree to use reasonable endeavours to deliver by the relevant date, but the performance of the Supplier’s engagement is subject to industrial disturbances, delay in transit, damage to goods in transit, shortage of goods and any other cause beyond reasonable control of the Supplier. The Supplier shall be excused from any failure to deliver or complete which is contributed to by any such cause and the time specified for completion of delivery shall be extended commensurately. Delay in delivery or completion shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement, nor shall it affect any other provisions of the Agreement to the Supplier’s disadvantage.

13.2 The Purchaser may, acting reasonably, nominate and arrange for a delivery or freight carrier or provider, including an air freight courier, to uplift their order from the Supplier on its behalf. The Purchaser must supply full details of the delivery address, freight carrier & account number to the Supplier in writing prior to arranging a time for delivery. All costs associated with the delivery or freight carrier will be the sole responsibility of the Purchaser and the Purchaser assumes all risk in the products on and from the point of collection of the products by the delivery or freight carrier from the Supplier.

13.3 The Purchaser acknowledges that goods delivered to a courier are outside the Supplier’s control and the Supplier will not be liable for any loss, damage, delay or non-delivery of goods contributed to by a third party, to the extent permitted by law, irrespective of whether the delivery or courier was arranged, suggested or promoted by the Supplier.

13.4 If a delivery driver or courier, in their absolute discretion, deem the Purchaser’s delivery site unsafe or inaccessible then the delivery driver or courier reserves the right to not make the delivery of the goods until such time as the issues in relation to the site have been rectified or an alternative address supplied. In the meantime, the goods will be taken back to the Supplier’s premises at the Purchaser’s expense and any subsequent re-delivery will be at the Purchaser’s expense.

13.5 If a delivery driver or courier enters the Purchaser’s delivery site at the direction of the Purchaser or its personnel and becomes bogged or stuck, or otherwise causes damage then the Purchaser will be liable for the costs of recovering the delivery vehicle and for any damaged caused to the vehicle and any other property or person.

13.9 If goods are to be collected from the Supplier’s premises and are not collected by the agreed collection date, then:

a) the Supplier will not be liable for any damaged caused to goods after that date;
b) the Purchaser will be liable to pay to the Supplier a storage fee calculated in accordance with clause 3, based on the price of the goods being stored; and
c) the Supplier may in its absolute discretion dispose of the goods in any manner it sees fit, including restocking the goods, and recover from the Purchaser the costs of doing so (along with the price of the goods, storage fees, Restocking Fee, and legal costs on an indemnity basis) as a liquidated debt.

14. Goods Returned For Credit

14.1 Subject to the warranty provisions contained in this Agreement, the Supplier may accept or refuse to provide a credit for returned goods in its absolute discretion. Goods will be accepted for credit only under the following conditions:

a) All returned goods must be delivered to the Supplier at an address to be nominate by the Supplier at the Purchaser’s sole risk, cost and responsibility;

However, should the Supplier decide to extend beyond the credit cap in place from time to time, then the cap will in no way act to limit the ability or right of the Supplier to recover any monies owing to it nor will such cap act to limit the liability of the Purchaser or any Guarantor to pay those monies to the Supplier.

22. Credit Claims. It is the responsibility of the Purchaser to carefully inspect the goods immediately they are delivered. Credit Claims will be recognized if made in the first instance by phone within 48 HOURS of receipt, and also in writing within 7 days of delivery.

23. Return Of, Or Cancellation Of Goods Ordered. In the event the Purchaser elects to return goods or cancel goods on order, the Supplier at its absolute discretion reserves the right to charge a 10% handling fee on the amount involved. Further no return of goods will be accepted without prior approval of the Supplier in writing. All goods returned must be in original condition and packaging and complete in every detail. Goods will only be accepted if the freight is prepaid by the Purchaser.

24. Special Orders. Special orders attract a 50% deposit which will be debited to the Purchaser’s account upon receipt of a written order for goods outside our normal stock line, or for goods specifically modified to the Purchaser’s requirements. NOTE: – No return or cancellation of goods will be accepted once the order has commenced.

25. Warranties and Limitation Of Liability. Subject to clause 36, all goods sold carry only such warranty, if any, as is furnished by the manufacturer thereof, or as implied by law. The freight cost for goods returned for warranty consideration is the Purchaser’s responsibility.

c) any claim by a third party arising out of or in any way related to any wilful, negligent or unlawful act or omission of the Purchaser or its employees or agents, provided however that the Purchaser’s liability to indemnify the Supplier under this clause will be reduced proportionally to the extent that any negligent act or omission of the Supplier contributed to the liability.
