ABN 86 680 304 572, its successors and assignees, (referred to as “we”, “us”, “our” or “Seller”) and you, the person, organisation or entity that purchases products or related services from us (referred to as “you”, “your” or “Buyer”), and collectively the Parties. These Sales Terms apply to all sales made by us to you.

1. General and Acceptance

These Sales Terms form the agreement under which we will supply products and related services to you. Please read these Sales Terms carefully. If you have any questions, please contact us at our head office, before you purchase products or related services from us.
Acceptance: You accept our Sales Terms by making a purchase from us. Your purchase from us indicates that you have had sufficient opportunity to access these Sales Terms and contact us, that you have read, accepted and will comply with these Sales Terms. If you do not agree to these Sales Terms, you should not purchase from us.

2. Products and Orders

You may view products at our showroom by organising an appointment with us. Alternatively, we can come to you, where convenient to us.
Payment terms, delivery times and quote validity is set out in our quote. We may at our discretion accept or reject an order depending on factors including availability of products or services and our ability to validate payment for the products or services.
It is your responsibility to check the order details, including the product or service ordered and pricing, before you confirm and place your order. Any quotation or tender is not a binding offer by us and may be withdrawn at any time.
We will provide you with order details, which may include a sales order, tax invoice, order number, an order ID, the shipping and billing addresses and a description of what was ordered, when you confirm and place your order. If you wish to change or vary your order, including to add or remove products or services, or to change the delivery date, you must let us know as soon as possible and we will let you know if we can accommodate the change and provide you with an updated quote. Please note, as per clause 6(d), delivery periods are an estimate only, based on the information provided by our nominated carrier. The Buyer acknowledges that the delivery times are an estimate only and failure to deliver by the delivery date does not give the Buyer the right to cancel or repudiate the order.
When order becomes binding: A binding agreement comes into existence between you and us once we have given you a sales order or tax invoice.
Special or custom orders: Orders for products with non-standard product features or which are products that are not included within our standard product catalogue or which are custom made and designed are “Special Orders”. You acknowledge that we may have limited stock of a Special Order, however where possible we will accommodate and fulfil any Special Orders. If you order a custom-designed Special Order and you cancel your order for a Special Order after manufacturing has commenced, you agree to pay a cancellation charge which is commensurate with the considerable time and effort we spend in developing, designing and manufacturing the custom-designed Special Order for you.
Changes: No changes to these Sales Terms will be effective unless we both agree to the changes in writing.

3. Price and Payments

We require payments as outlined in the quote or tax invoice and cannot accept variations to this. The Buyer agrees to pay the price specified on our quote or tax invoice by thepayment date specified on our tax invoice or quote, plus any applicable delivery and insurance charges based on the delivery options selected by the Buyer.
We generally require payment up front.
We may offer selected customers credit accounts, in our sole discretion. Where we offer to set up an account for you, our formal credit application must be completed, signed and returned to us before we will commence the manufacture or delivery of any products. Your tax invoice will set out the terms of credit (if any) and when payment must be made.
All amounts are stated in Australian dollars. All purchase prices exclude Australian GST. Any delivery and insurance charges will be separately shown.
You must pay for the product or services by one of the methods set out on our quote. Your payment will be processed upon receipt of your order. You must not pay, or attempt to pay, for an order through any fraudulent or unlawful means. If your payment is not able to be successfully processed then your order may be cancelled.
We may charge interest at the rate of 2% per month on any amounts unpaid. If you do not pay by the due date, we have the right to engage debt collection services for the collection of unpaid and undisputed debt, and the right to commence legal proceedings for any outstanding amounts owed to us.

4. Price lists

In the absence of a written quote or tender, we will supply our products at the prices specified in our price list.

5. Availability and Cancellation

All purchases made with the Seller are subject to availability. We do our best to keep in stock most products.
If there is a considerable delay in dispatching your order or supplying products to you, or if for any reason we cannot supply a product or service you have ordered, we will contact you using the contact details provided by you when you placed the order. You can choose a refund, store credit or to put your order on backorder. If you choose a refund or store credit, any delivery costs you have paid for the product will be refunded to you. If you choose to put your order on backorder, we will contact you to arrange for supply/delivery once the product or service is available (as the case may be).

9. Consumer Law

ACL: Certain legislation including the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) in the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and similar consumer protection laws and regulations may confer you with rights, warranties, guarantees and remedies relating to the provision of services by us to you which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified (Statutory Rights).
Goods & Services: If you are a consumer as defined in the ACL, the following notice applies to you: “Our goods and services come with warranties and guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law (Consumer Guarantees). You are entitled to a replacement or a refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. You are also entitled to have services remedied if they are not rendered with due care and skill or they are not fit for purpose and the failure does not amount to a major failure.”
Nothing in these Sales Terms excludes your Statutory Rights as a consumer under the ACL. You agree that our liability for goods provided to a person or entity defined as a “consumer” under the ACL is governed solely by the ACL and these Sales Terms. We exclude all conditions and warranties implied by custom, law or statute except for your Statutory Rights.
Warranties: Seller: Except for your Statutory Rights, all material and work is provided to you without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, and we expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Manufacturer: Products may come with a manufacturer’s warranty. The manufacturer’s warranty is in addition to but may overlap with any rights and remedies you may have under applicable law, including any Consumer Guarantees. If you are not considered a “consumer” within the meaning of the ACL, the manufacturer’s warranty may be your sole remedy. Details of any specific warranties applying to our products are set out at Schedule 1.

10. Return, Refund and Exchange Policy

Products may only be returned if the Seller has provided its written consent. Please contact the Seller if you wish to seek a return. Special Orders are not refundable, subject to your Statutory Rights and any manufacturer’s warranty.
Repair, replacement or a refund: If you wish to seek repair, resupply, replacement or a refund for a product or service, you must notify us within seven (7) business days of delivery. Please contact us and we will explain any requirements to you. This may include you providing proof of purchase and evidence of the faulty product to us.
Refund: If you are entitled to a refund, we will only give you the refund once evidence of faulty product is received by us, or we have received the product at our warehouse and inspected it and assessed whether it is eligible for a refund under these Sales Terms. You must adequately package any product you are returning to ensure that it is not damaged during return delivery. Any refund we make will be by the same payment method used to purchase the product or service.
Duty of care: You have a duty of care for the product while it is in your possession. If you damage products, then subsequently return the products, you may be liable to pay to repair the product to its original condition. In these circumstances, where a repair is not economically viable, no refund will be made.
Change of mind: We do not accept returns for change of mind.
