Terms & Conditions of Trade

1. APPLICATION

The following Trade Terms apply to all Orders of Supplies by you from Wise Living Pty Ltd ACN 127 961 899, Albury Consolidated Industries Pty. Ltd. ACN 087 962 338, Hurlcon Hydronic Heating Pty Ltd ACN 636 228 110, Metal Dynamics Pty Ltd ACN 088 256 204 and Thermalux Pty Ltd ACN 003 646 875 (us, we, our).

Each Order is a separate agreement between you and the Relevant Group Entity. For the avoidance of doubt, your rights and obligations under an Order are as between you and the Relevant Group Entity. If you are not a natural person:

1. you warrant that any person that places an Order on your behalf is authorised to do so and will also do so as agent for each of your related entities that use or access the Supplies; and
2. you must procure that your Personnel comply with these Trade Terms and you take responsibility for the acts and omissions of your Personnel.

2. QUOTES

If we provide you with a quote, unless the quote states otherwise, it will be valid for 30 days from the date of issue and may be adjusted by us prior to you placing an Order. A quoted Price is exclusive of all Taxes unless otherwise specified and any quoted times for manufacture and delivery, if provided, are an estimate only.

3. ORDERS

You must provide sufficient information with an Order (including any special requirements) to enable us to provide you with the Supplies. We may refuse to accept an Order (or part of it) on reasonable grounds. If an Order includes any special conditions agreed by us, they will, unless stated otherwise take precedence over these Trade Terms.

4. CANCELLATION OF ORDERS

If you cancel an Order prior to delivery, we will refund any Price paid, less any cancellation fees or restocking fees notified to you and costs incurred by us due to the cancellation. We may cancel an Order at any time prior to delivery by notice to you where the requested Supplies are not available, there is an error in the Price or description of the Supplies, or the Order has been placed in breach of these Trade Terms. Where we cancel an Order, we will give you a refund of any Price paid for that Order.

5. PRICE

Unless otherwise agreed, your payment of the Price is due on placement of the Order. We may change any advertised price for Supplies at any time without notice. A Price will not change once an Order has been accepted by us. Some Orders may require payment of a deposit equal to 50% of the Price, in which case your payment of the balance of the Price will be due on either dispatch of the Supplies by us or collection or delivery of the Supplies in accordance with clauses 8 and 9 of these Trade Terms, as notified by us.

6. CREDIT CUSTOMERS

If you have been approved for credit terms you must pay the Price in accordance with the terms of your approved Credit Application. We may disclose information about you and your Credit Application to third parties and the Personal Property Security Register in accordance with our Credit Reporting Policy.

7. FAILURE TO PAY

Where you fail to make full payment of the Price by the due date, we may:

1. refuse to supply you with further Supplies; or
2. require you to pay for further Supplies in full prior to delivery; or
3. impose interest on any overdue amounts at 6% per annum, calculated daily
4. reduce or remove any entitlements or discounts that we may have provided to you.

Time is of the essence in respect of your obligation to pay the Price. If we incur costs of collection of any amount you have failed to pay by the due date you agree to indemnify us against such costs.

8. DELIVERY

We will endeavour to meet the delivery milestones specified in an Order, however you acknowledge that we will not be responsible for delays in delivering the Supplies to the extent we are not directly and solely responsible. You agree to comply with any delivery requirements we notify to you when you place an Order.

9. SALE OF GOODS

Delivery of the Supplies occurs when you (or your nominated carrier) collect them from our premises or when they are delivered to you at the address specified on the Order. Risk in the Supplies pass to you on delivery. You must inspect the Supplies immediately upon delivery to satisfy yourself they comply with the Specifications.

You will be deemed to have accepted the Supplies if you have not notified us within 48 hours of receipt of the Supplies that the Supplies do not meet the Specifications. Ownership of and title to the Supplies remains with us until you have paid us the Price in full and any other money that you may owe to us at any time on any account.

10. PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITIES ACT

You grant us a Security Interest in all your present and after-acquired property to secure the payment of all amounts owed to us and the compliance by you of your obligations under these Trade Terms. We may register that Security Interest on the Register, and you agree to do all things necessary to facilitate that registration. To the extent the law permits:

1. for the purposes of sections 115(1) and 115(7) of the PPSA we need not comply with sections 95, 118, 121(4), 125, 130, 132(3)(d) or 132(4); and sections 142 and 143 are excluded;
2. for the purposes of section 115(7) of the PPSA, we need not comply with sections 132 and 137(3); and
3. you agree not to exercise your rights to make any request of us under section 275 of the PPSA, to authorise the disclosure of any information.
4. under that section or to waive any duty of confidence that would otherwise permit non-disclosure under that section. Upon our request, you will reimburse us for any costs incurred by us in registering, preserving and or enforcing our rights under the PPSA.

31. UNFAIR TERMS TO BE READ DOWN

If any law-making unfair contract terms void could apply to a term in these Trade Terms, the following rules apply to interpreting that term:

1. if the law would make the term void because the term permits us to exercise a right or discretion in a way that would cause detriment to you, the term shall be read down and construed to the extent as not to permit us to exercise the right or discretion in such a way;
2. if the law would make the term void because it authorised us to recover costs or losses or damages to be calculated in a way we chose, the term shall be read down and construed as authorising us to recover the maximum reasonable costs, losses and damages to be calculated in a reasonable way that did not cause the term to be void.

If, despite the application of this clause, the law would make the term void, the term is to be read down and construed as if it were varied, to the minimum extent necessary, so that the term is not void. These reading down rules apply before any other reading down or severance provision in these Trade Terms.
