Where the Customer is required by these Terms to reimburse or indemnify the Company for any Loss or other amount incurred, the amount to be reimbursed or paid will be reduced by the amount of any input tax credit that the Company will be entitled to claim for the Loss or amount incurred and increased by the amount of any GST payable by the Company in respect of the reimbursement or payment. This clause does not merge on completion or termination of the relevant Agreement or contract. In this clause, words and expressions which are defined in the GST Act have the same meaning given to them by the GST Act.

17. FORCE MAJEURE
17.1 The Company will not be liable for any failure to perform or delay in performing its obligations under an Agreement if that failure or delay is due to a Force Majeure Event.

17.2 If a Force Majeure Event under clause 17.1 exceeds 20 Business Days, the Company may immediately terminate the Agreement by written notice to the Customer.

18. TERMINATION
18.1 Without limiting the Company’s other rights under these Terms, the Company may terminate any and all Agreements and any account facility under an Account Application with immediate effect by written notice to the Customer if:
(a) the Customer fails to make any payment under the Agreement to the Company by the due date for that payment;
(b) the Customer is the subject of an Insolvency Event;
(c) the Customer has breached any term of the relevant Agreement (including these Terms) and, if the breach is capable of remedy, has not remedied the breach within 14 days or receiving notice requiring the breach to be remedied; or
(d) in accordance with clause 17.2.

18.2 On termination of an Agreement:
(a) the Customer must not sell or part with possession (other than as required under clause 18.2(b) any Goods the subject of the Agreement (other than any Goods which have been paid for);
(b) the Customer must, at its cost immediately return to the Company all Goods the subject of the Agreement (other than any Goods which have been paid for) and any displays and other promotional and advertising materials in relation to the Goods;
(c) the Company may enter the premises of the Customer or any third party to repossess any Goods not returned under clause 18.2(b) and the Customer expressly authorises and grants the Company and its agents an express, irrevocable licence to enter the premises of the Customer or relevant third party to remove or arrange for the removal of such Goods; and
(d) all monies owed by the Customer to the Company shall become immediately due and payable.

18.3 Each party retains any rights, entitlements or remedies it has accrued before termination, including the right to pursue all remedies available to either party at law or in equity.

19. CANCELLATION
19.1 Without limiting clause 4.9(b), the Company may cancel or suspend any Agreement effective immediately upon providing the Customer with written notice of cancellation or suspension where the Company believes (for any reason) that it will be unable to supply the relevant Goods or provide the Services to the Customer, provided that if the Company cancels an Agreement under this clause 19.1 it will refund to the Customer any amounts already paid by the Customer for the Goods or Services subject to the cancellation and which are not provided to the Customer. The refund of any such amounts will be the Customer’s sole remedy against the Company in respect of any cancellation pursuant to this clause 19.1.

19.2 Neither an Agreement nor any Offer that has been submitted can be cancelled by the Customer except with the prior written consent of the Company and without prejudice to any other rights the Company may have, the Customer indemnifies the Company for any Loss incurred by the Company in connection with such cancellation.

19.3 If the Company agrees to any request by the Customer to cancel an Agreement or Offer, the Company may charge the Customer the Cancellation Fee which the Customer must pay to the Company immediately upon demand.

20. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND REPRESENTATIONS
20.1 By making an Offer, the Customer warrants and represents to the Company that it has read and understood these Terms prior to making the Offer, and agrees to be bound by them in full.

20.2 Any price list, goods lists or other similar documents or catalogues issued by or on behalf of the Company do not constitute an offer by the Company to supply Goods appearing in those lists or catalogues or an offer by the Company to supply Goods at the prices set out in those lists or catalogues. The Company’s price lists and catalogues may be changed by the Company at any time without notice.

21. INCONSISTENCY
21.1 Unless otherwise specified in these Terms, in the event of an inconsistency between any of the documents listed in clause 3.3, the following order of precedence shall apply to the extent of the inconsistency:
(a) the prices and quantity of Goods and/or Services set out in a Quote (if any);
(b) these Terms;
(c) the Account Application;
(d) any other terms of the Quote (if applicable);
(e) the Invoice; and
(f) without limiting clause 21.2, any terms in the Order which are accepted by the Company in writing.

21.2 These Terms shall prevail over any Customer terms and conditions, except to the extent specifically agreed by the Company in writing and any terms or conditions included in an Order or other document provided or issued by the Customer will only be binding on the Company if expressly agreed by the Company in writing.

(d) a reference to a person includes a reference to the person’s executors, administrators, successors, substitutes (including, but not limited to, persons taking by novation) and permitted assigns;
(e) headings are inserted for convenience and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms;
(f) no provision will be construed to the disadvantage of a party merely because that party was responsible for the preparation of the Terms or the inclusion of the provision in the Terms; and
(g) unless otherwise provided, all monetary amounts are in Australian dollars and a reference to payment means payment in Australian dollars.

22.2 The Customer must maintain and keep current and complete records of the Goods which the Company has supplied to the Customer (in sufficient detail so as to be readily identified as goods supplied by the Company), including any Goods which are sold by the Customer to a third party and must, immediately upon written request from the Company, provide the Company with access to, or copies of, those records.

22.3 The Customer must not assign or otherwise deal with any of its rights or obligations under these Terms without the Company’s prior written consent. The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, assign, subcontract or deal with any of its rights or obligations under these Terms (including any right to be paid or chose in action) at any time in circumstances where, in the opinion of the Company acting reasonably, the assignment will not adversely affect the rights of the Customer.

22.4 For the purposes of clause 22.3, a Change in Control of the Customer shall be considered an assignment of the Customer's rights or obligations under these Terms.

22.5 The Company may, to the extent permitted by law, vary these Terms from time to time with the variation becoming effective as soon as the Company provides the Customer notice of the variation (Variation Date). Any variation to these Terms will only apply to any Offer made after the Variation Date and the parties acknowledge that nothing in these Terms requires the Customer to make any further Offers after the Variation Date.

22.6 A failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right under these Terms does not constitute a waiver and any right may be exercised in the future. Waiver of any rights under these Terms must be in writing and is only effective to the extent set out in that written waiver.

22.7 If any provision of these Terms is void, unenforceable or illegal and would not be so if words were omitted, then those words are to be severed and if this cannot be done, the entire provision is to be severed from these Terms without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.

22.8 These Terms and the accepted Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Customer and the Company in respect of the supply of the relevant Goods or Services the subject of the relevant Agreement and supersede all previous communications, representations, understandings or agreements.

22.9 These Terms are governed by the laws in force in Victoria, and the Customer and the Company submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Victoria.

22.10 The termination or expiry of these Terms or any Agreement does not operate to terminate any rights or obligations under an Agreement that by their nature are intended to survive termination or expiration, and those rights or obligations remain in full force and binding on the party concerned including without limitation the rights and obligations under clauses 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18, 21 and 22.

22.11 Each party must:
(a) do all acts necessary or desirable to give full effect to an Agreement; and
(b) refrain from doing anything which might prevent full effect being given to an Agreement.

22.12 The relationship between the parties is and will remain that of independent contractors, and nothing in these Terms or an Agreement constitutes the parties as partners or joint venturers or constitutes any party as the agent of another party or gives rise to any other form of fiduciary relationship between the parties.

22.13 Notices by a party must be delivered by hand, prepaid post or email and sent to the address of the receiving party specified in the Account Application or, if none are specified, in any other part of the Agreement. Notices shall be deemed to have been received by hand upon delivery, by post within two (2) Business Days of sending and by email one hour after the email (unless the sender knows that email has failed to send).
