These conditions, subject to any variations we agree to in writing, apply to all supplies made by AutoTest Products Pty Ltd (supplier) specified in the invoice or the contract as the supplier to the entity specified in the invoice or the contract as the purchaser. These conditions, in their present form or as changed, pursuant to these conditions, together with the relevant credit application form (if applicable), invoices and Purchase Orders exchanged between the parties form the contract.
Where the supply purports to be made on or subject to terms and conditions other than these conditions, the Purchaser agrees that such other terms and conditions are disregarded and form no part of the Contract unless the Supplier agrees otherwise in writing.
The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that:
3.1 the Supplier’s liability under these conditions falls solely on the Supplier; and
3.2 the obligations the Purchaser accepts and warranties the Purchaser makes are accepted and made for the benefit of the Supplier and all of the Supplier’s related bodies corporate.
4.1 The Supplier will only accept Purchase Orders which are accompanied by a purchase order number. The Supplier reserves the right to refuse acceptance of any Purchase Order. Any quotation given by the Supplier lapses if not accepted by the Purchaser within 30 days.
4.2 If the Purchaser has provided the Supplier with a forecast of future requirements it acknowledges that the Supplier will be entitled to rely on the accuracy of such forecast(s) for the purpose of ordering raw materials and arranging its resources so as to be able to meet those forecast requirements.
4.3 If any such forecast is materially inaccurate the Supplier shall be entitled to invoice the Purchaser for all costs, expenses or losses which result from the Supplier having relied on the inaccurate forecast. Such invoice will be subject to the normal terms of payment applying to the Purchaser.
4.4 In any event, the Supplier shall be entitled to invoice the Purchaser for all finished Goods made to forecast and not ordered by the Purchaser within 3 months of manufacture. Such invoice will be subject to the normal terms of payment applying to the Purchaser.
Normal Terms of payment are cash with order, COD unless credit terms have been approved by the Supplier in writing. If credit is satisfactorily established, invoices will be paid on or before the last business day in the month of the invoice date (without deduction or set-off of any kind) unless otherwise agreed to by the Supplier in writing.
If use of credit card is approved, then payment is due on the date of invoice. In the event payment is not received by the due date the Supplier reserves the right to charge interest at the 90-day Bank Bill Swap Bid Rate (as quoted on ASX at 11 am) plus 5% commencing from the due date of payment in respect of all the Purchaser’s indebtedness which is overdue. Any interest so levied shall accrue on a daily basis and shall accrue until all monies owing are paid in full. The Purchaser shall also be liable to pay all expenses, legal costs on a solicitor and own client basis, of the Supplier in relation to obtaining remedy of the failure to comply.
The Customer agrees that it shall not defer or withhold payment or deduct any amount from the account of the Company by reason of any claim it alleges against the Company.
The Customer agrees to the following incidental additional costs being charged pursuant to the applicable payment method (via either Credit card, PayPal or Credit Account) from the time the event which gives rise to the costs occurs:
If the Purchaser defaults in payment, or an application is made to a court to wind up the Purchaser, or a receiver or administrator is appointed to manage the affairs of the Purchaser, or the Purchaser is in material breach of the Contract, then the Supplier may terminate the Contract or any Purchase Order immediately and may recover from the Purchaser, at a minimum, reasonable compensation for materials purchased and ordered and labour expended in complying with the Purchase Orders.
7.1 While the Supplier will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver by the date specified in the Purchase Order, it does not unless otherwise agreed in writing guarantee delivery on that date and is not liable for any Loss resulting from late or early delivery. Delivery of the Goods shall be effected when the Goods are loaded to the delivery vehicle or placed on the Purchaser’s or the Purchaser’s agent’s nominated carrier. If no date for delivery has been specified, then the Goods shall be supplied to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall receive the Goods as soon as practicable after the Purchase Order has been accepted by the Supplier and the Goods have been manufactured.
7.2 Risk in the Goods passes to the Purchaser at the time of delivery. Delivery to the Purchaser is deemed to occur at the time of delivery to the Purchaser, its agent or carrier.
8.1 The Supplier’s rights under this clause 8 secure:
8.2 All payments received from the Purchaser must be applied in accordance with section 14(6)(c) of the PPSA Act.
8.3 The Purchaser agrees that legal title and property in the Goods is retained by the Supplier until payment is received in cleared funds from the Purchaser of all sums owing to the Supplier, whether under the Contract or otherwise. The Purchaser must keep the Goods separate from other goods and store the Goods so that they are readily identifiable as those supplied by the Supplier.
8.4 The Purchaser must not sell the Goods except in the ordinary course of the Purchaser’s business. 8.5 If the Purchaser fails to pay by the due date any amount owing to the Supplier, the Supplier may (without prejudice to any of its other rights) recover and resell any of the Goods in which property has not passed to the Purchaser. In addition to any rights the Supplier may have under Chapter 4 of the PPSA Act, the Supplier may, without notice, enter any premises where it expects the Goods may be located and remove them without committing a trespass, and the Purchaser authorises the Supplier to enter onto the premises where the Goods are kept to take possession of the Goods for that purpose at any time. The Purchaser also indemnifies the Supplier from and against all Loss suffered and or incurred by the Supplier as a result of exercising its rights under this clause 8. If there is any inconsistency between the Supplier’s rights under this clause 8 and its rights under Chapter 4 of the PPSA, this clause 8 prevails.
8.6 The Purchaser acknowledges and warrants that the Supplier has a security interest (for the purposes of the PPSA) in the Goods and any proceeds until title passes to the Purchaser in accordance with this clause 8. The Purchaser must do anything reasonably required by the Supplier to enable the Supplier to register its security interest with the priority the Supplier requires and to maintain that registration.
8.7 The security interest arising under this clause 8 attaches to the Goods when the Purchaser obtains possession of the Goods and the parties confirm that they have not agreed that any security interest arising under this clause 8 attaches at any later time.
Any request by the Purchaser for cancellation of a Purchase Order must be in writing and may be delivered by post, hand delivery or facsimile or email. The Purchaser is liable to reimburse the Supplier for the costs it has incurred for labour and materials in fulfilling the Purchase Order up to the date the request for cancellation is received and acknowledged by the Supplier. Unless otherwise permitted under these Terms & Conditions Orders, once accepted, may not be cancelled or varied otherwise cancellation and variation fees may apply. You cannot cancel an Order once Goods have shipped in any circumstances. Special Orders cannot be cancelled. If we cancel your Order after acceptance, we will send you an e-mail notifying you of that cancellation. If we do, we will refund any money paid in respect of that Order unless an amount paid is subject to be forfeited (such as the non-refundable deposit for Special Orders).
Except to the extent otherwise required by law (including, without limitation, the Australian Consumer Law) or as expressly set out in these Terms & Conditions, Autotest Products will not be liable to you, or any other person, for any loss, damage, cost or expense suffered as a direct or indirect result of cancellation of your Order, whether in contract, negligence or otherwise.
10.1 Neither party is liable for any Loss incurred by the other party as a result of any delay or failure to observe any of these conditions (other than an obligation to pay money) as a result of any circumstance beyond the party’s control, including but not limited to any strike, lock-out, labour dispute, fire, flood, accidental or malicious damage or breakdown in machinery. The party affected must notify the other party as soon as possible of such circumstance.
10.2 During the continuance of such circumstance the obligations of the party affected, to the extent they are affected by the circumstance, are suspended and resume as soon as possible after the circumstance has ceased to have effect.

To the extent the Supplier can identify the Goods and the date of manufacture the Purchaser must supply a sample and information if requested. The Supplier has the right at any time within 14 days after receipt of the claim to inspect the relevant Goods. If the Purchaser disposes of any of the Goods within the 14 day period, except with the written consent of the Supplier, all claims in respect of the Goods disposed of are deemed to have been waived by the Purchaser
Unless required by law or otherwise agreed, the Purchaser must keep confidential all information it receives from the Supplier which relates to the Goods, the Supplier’s business or any services the Supplier provides and any of the Supplier’s intellectual property (including without limitation any formulations), other products or processes except to the extent that information is in the public domain.
Unless otherwise instructed by the Purchaser in writing or included in a written quotation or price list by the Supplier, insurance cover for the Goods in transit will not be arranged by the Supplier. Instructions for insurance cover will only be accepted in writing at the time the Goods are ordered. The Supplier is not obliged to give the Purchaser a notice referred to in Section 39, Goods Act 1958 (Vic) (or any equivalent legislation).
If the Purchaser requests delivery by means other than the means normally used by the Supplier, then the Purchaser must pay all additional costs associated with the means chosen. If, within 4 weeks after the Goods are available for dispatch, the Supplier is unable or finds it impractical to transport the Goods by the means chosen, the Supplier may transport the Goods by any means it considers suitable and will advise the Purchaser accordingly.
21.1 Delivery may be made in one or more lots and at different times and by separate deliveries or shipments. Each lot must be accepted and paid for, notwithstanding any late delivery or non-delivery of any other lot. If the Supplier allows the Purchaser to nominate a delivery date, such date may not be more than 60 days after the expected date of manufacture of the Goods, as advised by the Supplier to the Purchaser.
21.2 If the Purchaser is unable or unwilling to accept delivery on or before the nominated delivery date, or if no delivery date is nominated and the Purchaser is unable to accept delivery when the Supplier gives notice that the Goods are available for delivery, then the Supplier will hold the Goods in stock for 45 days after which time it may, at its discretion:
