(g) Any variations to these Conditions or the Supplier Ts&Cs not expressly agreed to in writing by the Supplier are

expressly rejected by the Supplier.

 

PART A

3. Customer obligations

(a) The Customer agrees to accurately complete all documentation required by the Supplier in relation to the

provision of Goods and Services, and the provision of credit. The Customer accepts that the Supplier is relying

upon the representations made by the Customer in such documentation in determining whether to provide Goods

or Services or credit to the Customer. The Customer is liable to the Supplier for any inaccuracies, relevant omissions and misrepresentations made.

(b) The Customer agrees to ensure that the representations set out in all documentation provided to the Supplier

are current and must immediately inform the Supplier, in writing, of any material change to the information,

particulars or any detail supplied.

(c) The Customer agrees that these Conditions apply to any Related Body Corporate of the Customer where that

entity is conducting the business of the Customer as a result of any assignment, novation, sale, agency,

transmission or corporate or business restructure.

(d) These Conditions and the Supplier Ts&Cs apply if the Customer places an Order with the Supplier, whether for

cash or on credit.

(e) The Customer has no entitlement to credit unless the Supplier, whether directly or through Kincumber Quarry’s Credit and Billing Agent, extends credit to the Customer. If in a particular case, the Supplier gives the Customer credit on agreed terms, the Supplier still reserves the right at any time and for any reason consistent with the protection or

achievement of the Supplier’s legitimate business interests to refuse to supply any further Goods or Services to

the Customer to the Customer on credit terms. If the Supplier declines to give the Customer further credit, then that

decision does not affect the credit terms which apply to any amounts the Customer then owes to the Supplier.

(f) The Customer must:

(i) pay, without any deduction or set-off, the price charged by the Supplier for Goods or Services supplied to the

Customer on delivery or performance, or, if credit terms are offered, within 30 days following the end of the month

during which the Goods or Services were supplied or provided;

(ii) pay any:

(A) legal costs incurred by a Hawkesbury City Constructions P/L Company on an indemnity basis, or on such other basis as a Court (if applicable) may determine if proceedings have been commenced. ; and

(B) bank charges or merchant fees or like charges levied on the Supplier of Hawkesbury City Constructions P/L’s Credit and Billing Agent by any bank or other credit provider whose banking or credit card facilities are utilised by the Customer for paying the

Supplier; and other costs and expenses payable (including any collection or mercantile fees or commissions paid or incurred by the Supplier or Hawkesbury City Constructions P/L’s Credit and Billing agent);

in connection with:

(I) the enforcement of, or any litigation in relation to, these Conditions;

(II) the recovery of overdue amounts and enforcing the charge in clause 10;

(III) preparation and registration of documents required to perfect the security provided or to prepare and register

any mortgage or caveat documents (whether or not signed by the Customer or created pursuant to the power of

attorney set out in clause 10(c));

(IV) any credit application or any security documents signed by the Customer or any guarantor; or

(V) any other collection costs and dishonoured cheque fees,

(iii) pay any stamp duty assessed on this document or fee to register or maintain any security interest held by the

Supplier in respect of Goods or Services supplied to the Customer.

(iv) advise the Supplier in writing of the occurrence of any Insolvency Event, any variation to any of the information

supplied by the Customer to the Supplier or in the structure or nature of the Customer's business, any change in

its name, ownership, change of any directors or change of control, or any step being taken to sell an asset or

assets (separately or together having a value being greater than 20% in value of its gross assets) as soon as

practicable and not later than within two business days of such event, change or step occurring. The Customer

acknowledges that, despite any such event, change, or step the Customer remains liable to pay the price for all

Goods or Services supplied.

 

4. Orders

(a) The Customer is liable for payment in relation to all Orders. It is not the responsibility of the Supplier to confirm

authority of the person placing the Order. It is the sole responsibility of the Customer to ensure there is no

unauthorised use of its Account number or name, and that only authorised persons place Orders on behalf of the

Customer.

(ii) if Goods have been prepared but not delivered at the time of cancellation the Customer must accept that

Goods when delivered and pay the relevant portion of the contract sum for it;

(iii) the Customer must reimburse the Supplier, as a debt immediately due and payable, for all costs, losses,

liabilities, damages and expenses in connection with the cancellation of that Order (including the cost of goods,

materials or services ordered by the Supplier in connection with the Order prior to cancellation of the Order).

 

5. Variation of Credit

Any credit limit is solely for the benefit of the Supplier. The obligations of the Customer under these terms and

conditions remain unchanged if the credit limit is exceeded or not specified at any time. Despite any other clause

in these Conditions or the Supplier Ts&Cs, the Supplier or Hawkesbury City Constructions P/L 's Credit and Billing Agent may withdraw or amend the Customer's credit or credit limit at any time if the Customer is or has been in default of these Conditions, or the Supplier’s T&C’s or any applicable credit terms, or if, in the reasonable opinion of the Supplier, the Customer’s credit worthiness has changed.

 

6. Withdrawal of credit

(a) If the Customer

(i) fails to comply with

(A) any of the terms of these Conditions, or

(B) the Supplier’s T&C’s or

(C) any applicable credit terms, or

(D) any obligation to pay money to another Hawkesbury City Constructions P/L Company when due, or

(ii) makes or is discovered to have made, any misrepresentation to the Supplier or any other Hawkesbury City Constructions P/L Company, the Supplier may, at its absolute discretion, immediately cease to extend credit to the Customer.

(b) If the Supplier ceases to extend the Customer credit under this clause:

(i) all moneys payable by the Customer pursuant to these Conditions, the Supplier Ts&Cs or under any other

terms or arrangements between the parties, shall become a debt immediately due and payable;

unaffected except to the extent expressly notified in writing by the Supplier; and

(iii) the provision of Goods or Services to the Customer after the Supplier ceases to extend the Customer credit

may cease or will be on the basis of cash on delivery or performance.

 

7. Overdue Accounts

(a) Any amount not paid by the due date will incur interest at a rate of 5% above the Reserve Bank of Australia

Cash Rate as at the due date calculated daily and compounded monthly but in no circumstances will the interest

charged exceed 20% per annum.

(b) The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the Supplier has appointed Hawkesbury City Constructions P/L's Credit and Billing Agent as its non-exclusive agent to issue credit and collect any debts owed by the Customer that are due from time to time to the Supplier.

(c) A statement in writing signed by an authorised officer of the Supplier or Hawkesbury City Constructions P/L’s Credit and Billing Agent confirming that there is a valid Order or setting out the moneys due or owing to the Supplier at the date of the statement, shall be sufficient and prima facie evidence of the placement of the Order and the amount due or

owing, until the contrary is proven.

(d) The Supplier acknowledges that any payment made to Hawkesbury City Constructions P/L's Credit and Billing Agent for a debt owed to the Supplier is in full or partial satisfaction of the debt owed to it, to the extent of the payment made.

 

8. Retention of title

(a) The Supplier retains legal and equitable title in any Goods supplied to the Customer until payment in full for or

in connection with the supply of the relevant Goods has been received by the Supplier.

(b) Notwithstanding that title in the Goods remains with the Supplier until payment has been received in full, the

Customer may sell such Goods or use the Goods in a manufacturing or construction process in the ordinary

course of the Customer's business. As between the Customer and the purchaser of any item of the Goods, the

Customer sells as principal and not as agent of the Supplier.

(c) The proceeds of sale of each item of Goods or process must be held by the Customer in a separate fund on

trust for the Supplier and the Customer is under a duty to account to the Supplier for such proceeds. The creation

of, or any failure of, any such trust shall not in any way limit the obligation of the Customer to pay an amount to the

Supplier for Goods supplied.

(d) Until Goods are sold or used in a manufacturing or construction process, the Customer must keep the Goods

safe and free from deterioration, destruction, loss or harm, clearly designate the Goods as the property of the

Supplier, store them in such a way they are clearly identified as the property of the Supplier and keep full and

complete records, firstly, of the physical location of the Goods and, secondly, the ownership of the Goods by the

Supplier.

(e) In the event of default of these Conditions, or the Supplier’s Ts&Cs or any applicable credit terms, or an

Insolvency Event occurs, the Supplier is irrevocably entitled to inspect or to recover and retake possession of such

Goods and otherwise exercise in relation to the Goods, any of its rights whether those rights are as owner and/or

unpaid seller or otherwise and whether those rights are conferred by common law, contract, statute or in any other

way. In order to exercise such entitlement, the Supplier and its agents are irrevocably authorised by the Customer

to enter any of the Customer's premises or vehicles or those of any third party. The Customer agrees to obtain the

consent of any such third party to such entry by the Supplier and to indemnify the Supplier and its agents for any

liability arising from any entry upon such third parties' premises or vehicles. The Supplier and its agents agree to

take all reasonable care in removing the Goods from such premises or vehicles but, to the extent this liability may

be disclaimed by law, are not liable for any damage or injury to such premises caused by the removal of the

Goods, unless caused by the negligence or reckless conduct of the Supplier or its agents.

(f) This reservation of title and ownership is effective whether or not the Goods have been altered from their

supplied form, or commingled with other goods.

 

9. Security interest

(a) The retention of title arrangement described in clause 8 constitutes the grant of a PMSI or other security

interest by the Customer in favour of the Supplier in respect of all present and after acquired Goods supplied to

the Customer by the Supplier.

(b) The Customer must immediately, if requested by the Supplier, sign any documents, provide all necessary

information and do anything else required by the Supplier to ensure that the Supplier’s PMSI or other security

interest is a perfected security interest.

(c) The Customer will not enter into any security agreement that permits any other person to have or to register

any security interest in respect of the Goods or any proceeds from the sale of the Goods until the Supplier has

perfected its PMSI.

(d) For any Goods supplied that are not goods that are used predominately for personal, domestic or household

purposes, the parties agree to contract out of the application of ss 95, 118, 121(4), 130, 132(4),135, 142 or 143 of

the PPSA in relation to the Goods.

(e) The Customer hereby waives any rights the Customer may otherwise have to:(i) receive any notices the Customer would otherwise be entitled to receive under ss 95, 118, 121, 130, 132 or

135;

(ii) apply to a Court for an order concerning the removal of an accession under section 97;

(iii) object to a proposal of the Customer to purchase or retain any collateral under ss 130 and 135; and

(iv) receive a copy of a verification statement confirming registration of a financing statement, or a financing

change statement, relating to any security interest the Supplier may have in Goods supplied to the Customer from

time to time.

(f) For the purposes of this clause "PPSA" means the Personal Property Securities Act 2009. The expressions

"accession", "collateral", "financing statement", "financing change statement", "security agreement", "security

interest", "perfected security interest" and "verification statement" have the meanings given to them under, or in

the context of the PPSA. References to sections are to sections of the PPSA.
