Any quotation may be withdrawn or altered by the Company without notice. Nothing in this Contract, or any verbal representation, shall oblige the Company to honour any quotation that has been altered or withdrawn by the Company.
4.2 If the Company does not alter or withdraw a quotation that is expressed to be capable of acceptance by the Purchaser, then it is valid for the period stated on the quotation or if no period is stated on the quotation, then it is valid for a period of 30 days from the date of the quotation. Nothing in this Contract, or any verbal representation, shall oblige the Company to extend or honour any quotation which has expired in accordance with the terms of this clause. Where the Purchaser places an Order in response to a quotation that is not expressed to be capable of acceptance by the Purchaser, then there is no contract formed until the Company accepts such Order in accordance with clause 2.1(a).
4.3 To the extent that an Order made by a Purchaser is inconsistent with a quotation issued by the Company, including noting additional requirements or specifications, the Company is not obliged to honour any additional requirements or specifications not included or noted in the Company’s quotation and the Company may apply reasonable additional charges as appropriate, and such additional charges shall form part of the Price.

For the purpose of this clause 4.5, the Price of the Goods can be increased by the Company:
(a) at the Company’s sole discretion and, with written notice to the Purchaser, if exchange rate fluctuations between the date of any quotation provided to the Purchaser and the date the Company purchases imported Goods causes the cost of those Goods to increase by more than 5%; and
(b) without notice to the Purchaser if any government authority imposes any further duty, tax or fee in respect of the Goods or this Contract.
4.6 The Purchaser agrees to pay to the Company any reasonable adjustment to the Price of the Goods pursuant to clause 4.5.
4.7 Any Price concession or discount the Company provides to the Purchaser is conditional on the Purchaser’s full compliance with this Contract and shall not give rise to any expectation of any future Price concession or discount being offered to the Purchaser, and shall in no way oblige the Company to offer any future Price concession or discount to the Purchaser.

If no such rate exists, the Company may nominate an overdraft interest rate charged by a major Australian bank plus 2.5%;

(ii) if the Company notifies the Purchaser in accordance with clause 5.4(c)(i), then notwithstanding clause 5.2, the Purchaser must, within 7 days of receiving the notification, pay all monies specified in the notice (whether or not the Due Date in respect of those monies has passed) to the Company; and (iii) the Company may at its sole discretion suspend or cancel any existing credit arrangement with the Purchaser. The Company may then reinstate any credit arrangement with the Purchaser, on the same or different terms, at any time, at its sole discretion.
5.5 The Purchaser indemnifies the Company for any and all expenses incurred by the Company in enforcing the Company’s rights against the Purchaser under this Contract or any guarantee provided by a Guarantor and will reimburse the Company as a debt due and payable for such expenses when requested to do so by the Company.

(c) any Delivery time is an estimate only and the Company shall not be responsible for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the failure to meet any Delivery date, whether agreed to by the parties to this Contract or otherwise. The Purchaser shall not be relieved of performance because of the Company’s failure to meet a Delivery date.
6.3 If by any reason of any event beyond the reasonable control of the Company, including any Force Majeure Event, Delivery becomes impracticable or impossible in the Company’s opinion, the Company may terminate this Contract by Notice to the Purchaser. In these circumstances, the Purchaser must pay to the Company any unpaid amounts in relation to such Goods (including any variation thereof) that were actually delivered.

(a) legal title and property in all Goods supplied under this Contract remains vested in the Company and does not pass to the Purchaser;
(b) the Purchaser must store the Goods separately and in such a manner and maintain any labelling and packaging of the Company, so that the Goods are clearly and readily identifiable as the property of the Company;
(c) the Purchaser must not sell the Goods except in the ordinary course of its business;
(d) the Purchaser holds and agrees to hold the proceeds of any sale, lease or other dealing with the Goods for the Company in a separate bank account with a bank which does not (and will not in the future) provide finance to the Purchaser; and
(e) the Company may repossess the Goods if any amount due in respect of the Goods is outstanding or if the Company reasonably believes that any such amount will not be paid in full when it falls due for payment.
8.6 In addition to any rights the Company may have under Chapter 4 of the PPS Act, the Company may, at any time, demand the return of the Goods and shall be entitled without notice to the Purchaser and without liability to the Purchaser, to enter any premises where it suspects the Goods may be located in order to search for and remove the Goods without committing a trespass, even though they may be attached or annexed to other goods or land not the property of the Company, and for this purpose the Purchaser:
(a) grants the Company an irrevocable licence to enter upon any premises of the Purchaser for the purpose of taking possession of the Goods in accordance with this clause; and

(b) where the Purchaser is not paid by the third party the Purchaser agrees to assign to the Company its claim against the third party upon receiving the Company’s written request to that effect.
8.10 For the purposes of this clause 8, where the Company supplies particular Goods of the same or similar nature on multiple occasions, where the Purchaser does not make payment in respect of particular Goods, the non-payment is treated as being first in respect of particular Goods of the same or similar nature still in the possession of the Purchaser, and then against particular Goods which have passed out of the possession of the Purchaser.
