1.2 The buyer of goods from seller ("the Buyer") is deemed to have accepted the terms and conditions contained herein by placing an order with the Seller.
1.3 The Seller's failure to object to any term or condition contained in any communication, whether written or oral, from the Buyer, shall not be deemed a waiver of these terms and conditions of sale.
1.4 If there is any inconsistency between these terms and conditions of any particular offer or communication by or from the Buyer, these terms and conditions shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.

2. QUOTES BY THE SELLER
2.1 Subject to Clause 5.2, unless otherwise specified by the Seller in writing at the time of quotations, all quotations made by the Seller are valid for the period specified in the quotation, or if no such period is specified, for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of the quotation. Following expiration of this period each quotation is subject to written revalidation of the quotation.
2.2 Any goods offered ex-stock by the Seller are subject to prior sale.
2.3 Not withstanding the above, any quotation by the Seller is not to be construed as an offer or obligation to sell and the Seller reserves the right at its option, to accept or reject any orders received.

3. ORDERS
3.1 The Seller may require the Buyer to place written orders for the Seller's goods. All quotations given and orders accepted by the Seller are so given or accepted on and subject to the Seller’s General Terms and Conditions of Sale.

4. DRAWINGS AND DESIGN
4.1 The Buyer shall be responsible for providing the Seller with final drawings, plans, specifications and design in respect of its proposed end product. The Seller accepts no responsibility for the suitability of the material selected by the buyer for its intended end use or end product, and further, accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of the Buyer’s said drawings, plans, specifications and design.

5. PRICES
5.1 Unless otherwise agreed, the purchase price for goods shall be as per the Seller's written quotation or the list prices as at the date of the Seller's acceptance of an order placed by the Buyer. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, in the event that any price quoted by the Seller is calculated on the basis of a per unit price or is based on minimum or specific quantities, the Seller may amend that price if there is any variation in the total quantity of goods ordered from that upon which the quotation was based.
5.2 All quoted prices of manufactured goods containing imported materials are based upon the Seller's buy price from their supplier and the rates of exchange, freight, insurance and customs or primage duty as at the date of quotation. The quoted prices may be varied by the same percentage amount by which the Seller's actual costs of satisfying an order vary as a result of any change in the said price or in any of these rates or duties. In the case of variations in rates of exchange, the seller reserves the right to increase its quoted price in relation to goods supplied to the Buyer by the same percentage as the percentage devaluation (if any) of the Australian dollar against the currency in which payment for the relevant goods is required to be made by the Seller to its supplier, calculated from the date of quotation by the Seller to the date of invoice, as disclosed by the variation in the Westpac Banking corporation Spot Selling Rate in the relevant period.
5.3 Unless quoted otherwise all prices are exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST) and other government imposts, which where applicable, will be added to the invoice and deemed part of the purchase price unless (in the case of GST), the Buyer provides the Seller with the appropriate GST deferment certificate.
In the event that the Seller agrees to deliver goods in accordance with further directions of the Buyer, the agreed price of the goods shall only apply if the quantity delivered is delivered in accordance with the Buyer's directions as specified in its order or, if no directions are so specified, if the whole of the goods are delivered no later than twelve (12) months from the date of the order. If a lesser amount is scheduled for delivery during the relevant period, the Seller reserves the right to charge for the relevant goods, at its option, either at the Seller's standard price in effect at the time of delivery or at the Seller's standard prices in effect at the time of the order.
5.4 In addition to the prices specified above, the Seller will charge the Buyer its standard packaging and handling charges from time to time. In addition, the Seller shall be entitled to charge separately for packing that is not in accordance with the Seller's customary standard of packing.

6. TERMS OF PAYMENT
6.1 Subject to sub-clause 6.2, all invoices shall be paid in full not later than thirty (30) days from the date of invoice, unless the Seller otherwise agrees in writing. Time shall be of the essence in this regard.

6.3 In the event that the Buyer fails to make any payment to the Seller when payment falls due, the Seller shall have the right, without prejudice to any other right or remedy to which the Seller may be entitled to charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 3% per annum in excess of the interest rate prescribed by the Westpac Indicator Lending Rate for overdrafts above $100,000.00, calculated from the date of invoice to the actual date of full and final payment. Any payment by the Buyer shall be credited first against any interest so accrued and the balance of payment, if any, shall be applied in reduction of the outstanding balance of the price.
6.4 The extension of credit facilities and the terms upon which such credit is provided are, in all cases, at the sole discretion of the Seller and are subject to confirmation on the receipt of an order.
