2. ORDER PROCEDURE 

2.1 You may submit written orders for Products to ICT in the form approved by ICT from time to time. Orders must specify: (a) the requested Products; (b) the requested quantity of each Product; (c) the Price as specified by ICT; (d) the requested Delivery Date; (e) the requested Delivery Point; and (f) if paying by credit card, valid credit card details. 

2.2 Within 24 hours of receiving your order, ICT will communicate its acceptance or rejection of the order to you in writing (email being an acceptable form of writing). 

2.3 Any variation to the details of an accepted Order must be agreed in writing between the parties. 

3. SUPPLY OF PRODUCTS 

ICT will supply Products to you in accordance with the Order and these Terms. 

4. PRICE AND PAYMENT 

4.1 ICT will issue you with an invoice for the Price at the time it accepts an Order. 

4.2 Payment is due by credit card or bank transfer immediately upon ICT’s acceptance of an Order. If paying by credit card, you authorise ICT to debit the credit card specified in the Order for the Price immediately upon accepting the Order. 

4.3 Unless otherwise stated, all amounts specified in an Order or price list are exclusive of goods and services tax (“GST”). If any GST is payable for the supply of Products under an Order, you must pay ICT an amount equal to the GST payable on or in respect of the supply at the same time as the Price is paid, provided that ICT has provided you with a valid tax invoice. Expressions used in this clause which have a defined meaning in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 have the same meaning as in that Act. 

4.4 If there is a change in law or a new law which increases or imposes any additional tax, duty, impost, levy or other charge imposed by a government or government agency (including an emissions trading scheme) (“Additional Tax”) which is payable by ICT in relation to or in connection with the sale, supply or delivery of the Products, ICT will be entitled to increase the Price by an amount sufficient to offset such Additional Tax. 

4.5 ICT may charge interest at the Interest Rate on any overdue amount under these Terms, calculated on a daily basis from the due date for payment to the date on which the amount was paid. You must reimburse ICT for all costs and expenses (including legal costs on an indemnity basis) incurred in the collection of any overdue amount. You acknowledge and agree that such charges are a reasonable estimate of the likely damage to be suffered by ICT for late payment. 

5. DELIVERY, ACCEPTANCE AND RISK 

5.1 ICT will use reasonable efforts to deliver the Products by the Delivery Date. However, Delivery Dates are not guaranteed Time will not be of the essence in relation to delivery of the Products. 

5.2 ICT will deliver the Products to the Delivery Point. Delivery will be made in one Delivery Point visit during normal business hours on a business day, unless otherwise agreed by ICT. 

5.3 Prior to unloading of the Products from the delivery vehicle, (or loading, if you take delivery at ICT’s premises), you must check that the description and quantity of the Products described on the delivery docket conforms with the Order. You must note any discrepancies in writing on the delivery docket. Failure to make such notifications on the copy of the delivery docket retained by ICT constitutes your acceptance that the delivery docket is accurate and your acceptance of the Products. If ICT delivers the Products to an unattended Delivery Point, you must notify ICT of any non-conforming Products within 24 hours of such delivery, and failure to give such notice will constitute your acceptance that the delivery docket is accurate and your acceptance of the Products. 

5.4 Risk in the Products passes to you when the Products are unloaded at the Delivery Point. 

5.5 If an Order provides for Products to be delivered in instalments, each instalment of the Products will be deemed to be the subject of a separate Order and no default or failure by ICT in respect of any one or more instalments of the Products will affect your liability to pay for Products previously delivered. 

5.6 If you fail to take delivery of the Products in accordance with these Terms, ICT, upon giving written notice to you, may store or arrange for the storage of the Products or any of them at your risk, and delivery will be deemed to have taken place. You must pay to ICT all costs and expenses including storage and insurance charges arising from such failure. 

6. TITLE 

Notwithstanding earlier passing of risk or possession of the Products, title in the Products will remain with ICT and no legal or equitable interests whatsoever in the Products will pass to you until the Price due in respect of those Products has been paid in full and in cleared funds. Until the title has passed to you, you hold the Products as bailee of ICT. 

7. PERSONAL PROPERTY AND SECURITIES ACT 

7.1 Expressions used in this clause 7 which have a defined meaning in the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (“PPSA”) have the same meaning as in that Act. 

7.2 The parties acknowledge that an Order constitutes a security agreement and gives rise to a purchase money security interest (“PMSI”) in favour of ICT over the Products supplied or to be supplied to you as grantor pursuant to these Terms. 

7.3 The Products supplied or to be supplied under these Terms fall within the PPSA classification of “Other Products” acquired by you pursuant to these Terms.

7.5 You waive your right to receive notification of or a copy of any verification statement confirming registration of a financing statement or a financing change statement relating to a security interest granted by you, as grantor, to ICT.

(b) for the purposes of s 115(7) of the PPSA, the secured party need not comply with sections 132 and 137(3); and 

(c) the grantor agrees not to exercise its rights to make any request of the secured party under section 275 of the PPSA to authorise the disclosure of any information under that section or waive any duty of confidence that would otherwise permit non-disclosure under that section.

8.2 ICT warrants that Products supplied under these Terms comply with any specifications or descriptions of the Products published by ICT. 

8.3 To the extent permitted by law, all terms, conditions and warranties which would otherwise be implied by law into these Terms are hereby expressly excluded. In relation to any such terms, conditions or warranties which cannot be lawfully excluded, then to the extent permitted by law, ICT’s liability for breach of such terms, conditions or warranties will be limited to, at ICT’s option: 

(a) replacing the affected Products; or 

(b) refunding the Price of the affected Products. 

 

8.4 To the extent permitted by law, ICT’s maximum liability for any Loss incurred by you under or in connection with an Order, whether for breach of contract, tort (including negligence) or on any other basis will be capped at the amount of the total Price for that Order. 

8.5 To the extent permitted by law, under no circumstances will ICT be liable for any Indirect Loss with respect to the subject matter of these Terms, regardless of whether such Indirect Loss could have been foreseen or prevented by ICT. 

9. SUBCONTRACTING 

ICT may use the services of a third party subcontractor to assist it in performing its obligations under these Terms on condition that ICT will remain responsible for the performance of its obligations under these Terms. 

10. FORCE MAJEURE 

ICT will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under these Terms if such delay is due to Force Majeure. If ICT’s delay or failure to perform its obligations is caused by Force Majeure, the performance of ICT’s obligations will be suspended while the Force Majeure continues. 

11. SUSPENSION OR TERMINATION 

ICT may, by written notice to you, immediately suspend an Order and all further Orders if: (a) you fail to make any payment due under these Terms by the due date for payment; (b) you breach any other provision of these Terms; or (c) you are subject to an Insolvency Event.

If you place an order for Products, you are deemed to have accepted these Terms, and ICT expressly rejects any other terms set out in that order document. 

13.2 These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties and no other terms and conditions, including customer purchase orders, or variation or amendment of these Terms will be effective unless expressly agreed in writing by the parties. 

14. GOVERNING LAW 

These Terms are governed by the laws of the state of New South Wales. The parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and the Federal Court of Australia.
