2. GOVERNING TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These are the only terms and conditions, which are binding upon a Seller
with the exception of those otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller
which are imposed by a statute and which cannot be excluded.
3. TERMS OF PAYMENT
Payment to the Buyer for goods delivered and accepted is due within 30
calendar days of the end of the month in which the goods are invoiced.
If the Buyer fails to make payment in accordance with this clause, all
amounts owing by the Buyer to the Seller named in the Sales Invoice or
any other Seller on any account shall immediately become due and payable.
Each outstanding amount shall bear interest of the rate of 10% per annum
calculated on a daily basis from the day it falls due until the day it
is paid.
4. INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE
The Buyer shall inspect all goods upon delivery and shall within 48 hours
of delivery give notice to the Seller named in the relevant Sales Invoice
or of any matter or thing by which the Buyer alleges that the goods are
not in accordance with the Buyer's order. Failing such notice, subject

Practices Act 1974 (Cth), the goods shall be deemed to have been delivered
to and accepted by the Buyer.

to in (a) above.

relationship shall arise from it until the Buyer's order has been accepted
in writing by the Seller, which provided the Quotation.
(b) No Seller shall be bound by any conditions attaching to the Buyer's
order or acceptance of a Quotation and, unless such conditions are expressly
accepted by the relevant Seller in writing, the Buyer acknowledges that
such conditions are expressly negatived.
(c) Every Quotation is subject to and conditional upon obtaining any necessary
import, export or other licence.

Act 1974 when calculating the amount of any Payment and the amount of
any relevant Payments will be adjusted accordingly;
(d) if the whole or any part of any Payment is the consideration for a
Taxable Supply (other than for payment of the Purchase Price) for which
the payee is liable to GST, the payer must pay to the payee an additional
amount equal to the GST Amount, either concurrently with that Payment
or as otherwise agreed in writing.
(e) any reference to a cost or expense in this Agreement excludes any
amount in respect of GST forming part of the relevant cost or expense
when incurred by the relevant party for which that party can claim an
Input Tax Credit; and the payee will provide to the payer a Tax Invoice.
