In these Terms of Trade we have used we, us and our to refer to Engraving Systems 2020 Limited and you to refer to our customer. By ordering goods or services from us you agree to these Term
DELIVERY
Unless we agree otherwise, Goods must be collected from our premises.
If we have given you a time for collection of the Goods (or any part of them), such time is approximate only and is not deemed to be of the essence.
TITLE AND RISK
We will retain title to Goods we supply until they have been paid for in full and you have performed all your other obligations under these Terms.
Risk in all Goods passes to you when the Goods are collected
PRICE
All prices are plus GST and other taxes and duties, which will be paid by you.
Our prices are subject to change without notice.
Unless we agree otherwise in writing, the amount you will be charged will be the price as at the date of collection.
If we provide a quotation to you, it is based on information available to us at that time and we may charge you more than the amount quoted if our costs (eg the amount we pay for the Goods or any part of them or the cost of transport, tax, exchange rates or other costs) or the specifications change. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, prices are quoted exclusive of GST.
PAYMENT
When you make an order for Goods at our premises you agree to pay a minimum 50% deposit for those Goods if we require it.
You must pay the balance for the Goods on their collection, unless we otherwise agree with you in writing.
When you make an order for Goods online you must pay the full amount due at the time of the order.
We are under no obligation to supply Goods to you on credit. If we grant you credit, you agree to pay our invoices within 14 days from the date of the invoice, unless we otherwise agree in writing.
You agree to give any securities as we may from time to time require, in the form required by us, and to comply with all of your obligations under those securities.
We may notify you at any time that we are going to stop supplying Goods to you on credit. This will be without prejudice to your obligation to pay amounts owing.
All payments will be made without set-off or deduction. Receipt of a cheque, bill of exchange, or other negotiable instrument will not constitute payment and you remain liable for payment until payment is received by us.
We may apportion payments to outstanding accounts as we see fit.
DEFAULT
You will be in Default if:
you fail to pay an amount due under these Terms by the due date for payment; or
you commit a breach of any of your other obligations under these Terms, the Security or the terms of any other contract you have entered into, or enter into in the future, with us; or
you become insolvent, are wound up, have a receiver appointed, enter into any composition or arrangement with your creditors, do any act which would render you liable to be placed in liquidation or have a receiver appointed over your property, commit an act of bankruptcy, cease to be of full legal capacity, or die;
Goods that we have retained title to are at risk; or
an event or a series of events (whether related or not) occurs which, in our opinion, may cause a material adverse change in your ability to meet your obligations to us.
If you are in Default then we may, at our option, do any one or more of the following:
charge you default interest at 15% per annum on any late payments calculated on a daily basis from the due date until the date payment is received;
require you to remedy the default in the manner and within a period that we tell you;
require you to pay to us all amounts you owe us immediately;
suspend or terminate your account with us;
enforce security interests created by these Terms;
exercise any rights that we have under these Terms or that are available to us at law.
We may suspend or terminate your account with us at any time in our sole discretion. If your account is terminated, you must immediately pay us any amount you owe us. Termination will not affect any of our rights that have arisen before termination.
PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITIES ACT 1999 (PPSA)
Clause 2.1 creates a security interest in Goods we supply to you.
You will not grant any other security interest or any lien over Goods that we have a security interest in.
At our request you will promptly sign any documents and do anything else required by us to ensure our security interest constitutes a first ranking perfected security interest in the Goods.
We may at any time enter your premises and properties to uplift Goods that we have a security interest in.
If Goods that we have a security interest in are processed, included or dealt with in any way causing them to become accessions, processed or commingled Goods, our security interest will continue in the whole in which they are included. You will not grant any other security interest or any lien in either the Goods or in the whole.
You waive any rights you may have under sections 114(1)(a), 116, 120(2), 121, 125, 129, 131, and 133 of the PPSA.
You waive your right to receive a copy of any verification statement (as that term is defined in the PPSA).
You will give us prior written notice of any proposed change of your name or address.

To the extent that we are liable for any reason for any loss suffered or liability incurred by you arising from any breach of these Terms or for any other reason, such liability is limited to the amount of the price of the Goods concerned.

DISPUTES
Any claim or dispute arising under these Terms will be determined by arbitration under the Arbitration Act 1996 if the parties are unable to resolve such dispute themselves within one (1) month of the dispute arising.

You may only assign, sell, or otherwise dispose of any right or obligation under these Terms if we consent in writing first.
No failure or delay by us to exercise (in whole or in part) any right, power or remedy under these Terms will operate as a waiver of that right, power or remedy.
