1. Definitions
In these Terms, unless the context requires otherwise:
- “Account” means a trade credit account approved by us under clause 3.
- “Goods” means any goods (including laptops, computers, components, parts, peripherals, hardware, consumables and accessories) supplied by us to you.
- “Services” means any services (including repairs, assembly, configuration, testing or technical support) supplied by us to you.
- “Guarantor” means each person who signs a guarantee in respect of your obligations (see clause 15).
- “PPSA” means the Personal Property Securities Act 1999.
- “Price” means the price payable for the Goods and/or Services as set out in clause 4.
- “Security Interest” has the meaning given in the PPSA.
- Words defined in the PPSA have the same meaning when used in clauses 7 and 8.
2. Application and acceptance of these Terms
2.1 These Terms apply to every supply of Goods and Services by us and take precedence over any terms or conditions contained in your purchase order or other documentation, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
2.2 Any quotation we give is not an offer and does not oblige us to supply. A binding contract is formed only when we accept your order (by written confirmation, by supplying the Goods, or by commencing the Services), at which point these Terms apply.
2.3 We may vary these Terms at any time by publishing updated Terms on our website. The Terms in force at the date of your order apply to that order. Your continued ordering after a variation constitutes acceptance of the varied Terms.
3. Trade credit account
3.1 Your application for an Account does not oblige us to grant one. We may approve, decline, or approve subject to conditions, in our sole discretion.
3.2 If an Account is approved, we may set a credit limit and payment terms (for example, payment within 7, 20 or 30 days of the invoice date). We may review, reduce, suspend or cancel your credit limit or Account at any time, including where an amount is overdue or your financial position changes.
3.3 You must notify us in writing within seven (7) days of any change to your name, ownership, structure, control, address, or contact details. Until we receive such notice, you remain liable for all orders placed on the Account.
3.4 You authorise us to treat any order placed by a person who reasonably appears to be authorised by you as an authorised order on your Account.
4. Price
4.1 The Price is the price set out in our quotation (if current and accepted within its validity period) or, if there is no quotation, our published price or the price in effect at the date of supply.
4.2 Unless stated otherwise, prices are exclusive of GST, which will be added at the applicable rate. Prices exclude delivery, freight, insurance and handling unless expressly stated.
4.3 The technology market is subject to rapid price and supply fluctuation. We may adjust the Price for any order not yet accepted to reflect changes in our supplier costs, exchange rates, duties, or taxes occurring after the quotation date.
5. Payment
5.1 If you do not have an approved Account, payment is due in full in cleared funds before the Goods are dispatched or the Services commence, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
5.2 If you have an approved Account, payment is due within the terms of that Account (as stated on your invoice or in your approval), calculated from the date of invoice.
5.3 Payment must be made without deduction, set-off or counterclaim. You may not withhold payment because of any dispute relating to part of an invoice; the undisputed portion remains payable when due.
5.4 Payment is not made until we receive cleared funds. Time for payment is of the essence.
6. Default and overdue accounts
6.1 If any amount is not paid by its due date, you are in default and we may (without limiting our other rights):
(a) charge default interest on the overdue amount at [2.5]% per month (or part month), calculated daily from the due date until payment in full;
(b) suspend or cancel your Account, withhold further supply, and require payment in advance;
(c) declare all amounts owing on your Account immediately due and payable, regardless of any agreed terms; and
(d) exercise our rights under clauses 7 and 8 (Security Interest and retention of title).
6.2 You must pay all costs we incur in recovering or attempting to recover any overdue amount, including legal costs on a solicitor-and-own-client basis, debt collection agency commission and fees, and any dishonour fees. These costs are payable whether or not proceedings are commenced.
6.3 We may apply any payment received to any amount owing by you in any order we determine.
7. Security interest (PPSA)
7.1 These Terms constitute a security agreement and create a Security Interest in all Goods (and their proceeds) supplied by us to you, to secure payment of all amounts you owe us from time to time.
7.2 You grant us a Security Interest in the Goods and their proceeds, and you agree that we may register a financing statement on the Personal Property Securities Register in respect of that Security Interest.
7.3 You must do anything we reasonably require (including providing information and signing documents) to enable us to register a financing statement, register any other document required under the PPSA, and to ensure our Security Interest constitutes a perfected purchase money security interest.
7.4 You waive your right under section 148 of the PPSA to receive a copy of any verification statement.
7.5 To the extent permitted by law, you and we contract out of sections 114(1)(a), 133 and 134 of the PPSA, and you waive your rights under sections 116, 120(2), 121, 125, 126, 127, 129, 131 and 132 of the PPSA.
7.6 You may not grant a Security Interest in the Goods to any other person, or allow any other Security Interest to attach to the Goods, while any amount remains owing to us.
8. Retention of title
8.1 Title to and ownership of the Goods does not pass to you until you have paid in full all amounts you owe us on any account whatsoever, notwithstanding delivery of the Goods to you.
8.2 Until title passes:
(a) you hold the Goods as bailee for us;
(b) you must store the Goods separately and in a way that clearly identifies them as our property, so far as is practicable;
(c) you must keep the Goods insured against loss or damage; and
(d) you may sell the Goods in the ordinary course of your business, but only as our agent, and you must hold the proceeds of any such sale on trust for us in a separate account until you have paid us in full.
8.3 If you are in default, we may (without notice and without prejudice to our other rights) enter any premises where the Goods are stored and repossess them. You grant us, our employees and agents an irrevocable licence to enter such premises for that purpose, and you indemnify us against any claim arising from that entry, except to the extent caused by our unlawful conduct.
9. Delivery
9.1 Any delivery date we give is an estimate only. We are not liable for any loss arising from delay in delivery, and delay does not entitle you to cancel an order or withhold payment.
9.2 We may deliver Goods by instalments, and each instalment may be invoiced separately.
9.3 Delivery is deemed to occur when the Goods are handed to you, your agent, or a carrier, or are made available for collection, whichever is first.
9.4 If you fail to take delivery or provide adequate delivery instructions, we may store the Goods at your cost and risk, or resell them.
10. Risk and insurance
10.1 Risk in the Goods passes to you on delivery (as defined in clause 9.3), even though title has not passed.
10.2 From the time risk passes, you are responsible for insuring the Goods and bear the risk of any loss, theft or damage.
11. Inspection, returns and warranties
11.1 You must inspect the Goods on delivery and notify us in writing of any shortage, defect or damage, or that the Goods do not match your order, within [7] days of delivery. If you do not, the Goods are deemed accepted.
11.2 We do not accept returns of correctly supplied Goods except at our discretion. Where we agree to accept a return of correctly supplied Goods, a restocking fee of up to 20% may apply, the Goods must be unused and in original condition and packaging, and you are responsible for return freight. Special-order, custom-configured, clearance and consumable items are not returnable.
11.3 Manufacturer warranties, where they apply, are provided by the relevant manufacturer on the manufacturer’s terms. We will pass on the benefit of any such warranty to you to the extent we are able. Warranty claims may need to be handled directly with the manufacturer or through us as the manufacturer’s process requires.
11.4 We are not responsible for any loss of data, software or configuration. You are responsible for backing up your data before returning any Goods for repair or warranty service. Goods returned for service may be reset to factory condition.
12. Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act
12.1 Where you acquire Goods or Services for the purposes of a business, you agree that:
(a) the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 does not apply, to the extent permitted by section 43 of that Act; and
(b) sections 9, 12A, 13 and 14(1) of the Fair Trading Act 1986 do not apply, to the extent permitted by section 5C of that Act. You acknowledge that it is fair and reasonable that you are bound by this clause.
12.2 Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit or exclude any rights you have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or Fair Trading Act 1986 where those Acts apply and cannot lawfully be excluded.
13. Limitation of liability
13.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, and subject to clause 12.2:

(b) we are not liable for any indirect or consequential loss, or for any loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill, data, or anticipated savings.
13.2 We are not liable for any loss arising from your reliance on any technical advice, specification or compatibility information unless we have expressly agreed in writing to be responsible for it.
14. Force majeure
14.1 We are not liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including supply shortages, supplier failure, shipping or logistics disruption, natural events, epidemics, pandemics, government action, or failure of utilities or communications. While such circumstances continue, our obligations are suspended.
15. Guarantee (if applicable)
15.1 Where required as a condition of your Account, each Guarantor named in the application or in a separate deed of guarantee personally and unconditionally guarantees the due payment of all amounts you owe us and the performance of all your obligations under these Terms.
