4.4       In the event of default by the buyer under clause 4.1, 4.2 or 4.3, all debt recovery costs, including legal costs on a solicitor /own client basis and disbursements, and any mercantile agent costs charged to Bondi will be part of the indebtedness of the buyer to Bondi.

4.5       Without prejudice to any other remedy, Bondi may charge the buyer interest at the rate set under the Penalty Interest Rate Act 1983 (Vic) on any overdue amounts, calculated and compounded on a daily basis from the due date until the payment is made in full.

5.        COMPLETION AND DELIVERY

5.1       Bondi will endeavour to deliver or supply the goods or services or otherwise complete the contract within the time agreed or within a reasonable time (in the absence of agreement).

5.2       Bondi’s obligations to supply goods shall be deemed to be completed and the goods deemed to be delivered when:

(a) in the case of goods sold for delivery and installation – when the goods are assembled in position and connected to the power and other services specified;

(b) in the case of goods sold for delivery – when the goods reach the specified destination (unloading of goods shall be the buyer’s responsibility unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing);

5.4       Subject to the buyer's statutory rights, Bondi shall not be liable for any loss or damage (whether direct or indirect) caused by any failure to deliver, supply or complete either in whole or in part where the failure is due to an event beyond the reasonable control of Bondi.

5.5       Either party may suspend its obligations (other than an obligation to pay money) under the contract where the failure is caused by force majeure, including any act or omission on the part of the other party, or by any act of God, war, lightning, fire, earthquake, storm, flood, explosion, any embargoes, restraint orders or restrictions imposed directly or indirectly by any government or governmental authority, agency or department, unavailability or delay in availability of equipment, materials or transport, labour dispute and any other case whether of the kind enumerated or otherwise which is not within the control of the party claiming the benefit of this clause.

6.        WITHHOLDING SUPPLY AND DELIVERY BY INSTALMENTS

6.1       Bondi reserves the right to withhold supply to the buyer if the buyer is in breach of any contract with Bondi.

6.2       Bondi reserves the right to deliver the goods by instalments and each instalment shall be deemed to be sold under a separate contract incorporating these Contract Terms. Failure of Bondi to deliver any instalment shall not entitle the buyer to cancel the balance of the contract. Exercise of these rights does not entitle the buyer to terminate any contract with Bondi or claim any loss or damage.

   

7.        INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING

7.1       Where Bondi is to install, start up or commission the goods, the buyer will provide suitable access to and possession of the premises where the goods are to be installed, started up and commissioned, and shall provide suitable facilities at the premises in order to receive the goods.

7.2       The buyer will bear the cost of:

(a) any work to be carried out by third parties including, without limitation, builders, masons, joiners, pipefitters and electricians;

(b) any alterations to existing equipment or premises for use with the goods; and

(c) all fuels, services and other facilities required for the installation starting up and commissioning of the goods.

8.        TITLE AND RISK

8.1       The risk in the goods passes to the buyer:

(a) for goods that are collected by or on behalf of the buyer from Bondi’s warehouse, when the goods are loaded at Bondi's warehouse;

(b) for goods that are delivered by Bondi, when the goods are delivered to the buyer’s delivery address.

8.2       Bondi's rights under this clause 8 secure:

(a) Bondi's right to receive the Price of all the goods sold under these Contract Terms; and

(b) all other amounts owing to Bondi under this agreement or any other agreement between the buyer and Bondi.

8.3       All payments received from the buyer may be applied by Bondi to the buyer's indebtedness in the manner Bondi, in its absolute discretion, determines.

8.4       Until full payment in cleared funds is received by Bondi for all goods supplied by it to the buyer, as well as all other amounts owing to Bondi by the buyer under this or any other agreement:

(a) legal title and property in all goods supplied under these Contract Terms remain vested in Bondi and do not pass to the buyer;

(b) the buyer must store the goods separately and in such a manner and maintain any labelling and packaging of Bondi, so that the goods are clearly and readily identifiable as the property of Bondi;

(c) the buyer must not sell the goods except in the ordinary course of the buyer's business;

(d) the buyer holds and agrees to hold the proceeds of any sale, lease or other dealing with the goods for Bondi in a separate bank account with a bank which does not (and will not in the future) provide finance to the buyer;

(e) in addition to any rights Bondi may have under Chapter 4 of the PPS Act, Bondi may, at any time, demand the return of the goods and shall be entitled without notice to the buyer and without liability to the buyer, to enter any premises where it suspects the goods may be located in order to search for and remove the goods without committing a trespass, even though they may be attached or annexed to other goods or land not the property of Bondi, and for this purpose the buyer irrevocably licenses Bondi to enter such premises, undertakes that it will procure any necessary authority to enter from any relevant person and also indemnifies Bondi from and against all loss suffered or incurred by Bondi as a result of exercising its rights under this clause except to the extent that the Loss is caused directly by Bondi's gross negligence or fraud. If there is any inconsistency between Bondi's rights under this clause 8.4(e) and its rights under Chapter 4 of the PPS Act, this clause 8.4(e) prevails.

(f) the buyer acknowledges and warrants that Bondi has a security interest (for the purposes of the PPS Act) in the goods and any proceeds described in clause 8.4(d); and

(g) the security interest arising under this clause attaches to the goods when the buyer 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.

8.5       The buyer warrants that it does not intend to use the goods predominantly for personal, domestic or household purposes.

8.6       The buyer must, at its own cost, insure and keep insured the goods against such risks as a prudent owner of the goods would insure at their full cost price, with a reputable insurance company.

 

9.        PPS Act

9.1       Unless a contrary intention appears, words or expressions used in this clause 9 that are defined in the PPS Act have the same meaning as given to them in the PPS Act.

9.2       If at any time Bondi determines that the supply of goods on these Contract Terms creates a security interest in its favour over any personal property, Bondi may apply for any registration, or give any notification, in connection with that security interest and the buyer must promptly, upon Bondi’s request, do anything (including, without limitation, signing and producing documents, getting documents completed or signed, obtaining consents and supplying information) to:

(a) provide more effective security over the relevant personal property;

(b) ensure that any such security interest in favour of Bondi:

(i) is at all times enforceable, perfected (including, where applicable, by control as well as by registration) and otherwise effective; and

(ii) ranks as a first priority security interest;

(c) enable Bondi to prepare and register a financing statement or a financing change statement or give any notification in connection with that security interest or under the PPS Act; and

(d) enable Bondi to exercise any of its rights or perform any of its obligations in connection with any such security interest or under the PPS Act.

9.3       All costs and expense arising as a result of actions taken by Bondi or the buyer pursuant to this clause 9 will be for the account of the buyer. Within five days of a written request, the buyer must pay to Bondi any costs or expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with this clause 9.

9.4       If Chapter 4 of the PPS Act would otherwise apply to the enforcement of the security interest created under this Contract, the buyer agrees that the following provisions of the PPS Act will not apply:

(a) section 95 (notice of removal of accession), to the extent that it requires Bondi to give a notice to the buyer; (b) section 121(4) (enforcement of liquid assets – notice to grantor);

(c) section 125 (obligation to dispose of or retain collateral);

(f) subsection 132(4) (statement of account if no disposal);

(g) section 142 (redemption of collateral); and (h) section 143 (reinstatement of security agreement).

9.5       Bondi does not need to give the buyer any notice required under the PPS Act (including, without limitation, a notice of a verification statement under section 157 of the PPS Act) unless the requirement for the notice cannot be excluded.

9.6       Neither Bondi nor the buyer will disclose to a person or entity not a party to a contract between Bondi and the buyer for the supply of goods on these Contract Terms, information of the kind mentioned in section 275(1) of the PPS Act unless section 275(7) of the PPS Act applies or that information is publicly available.

 

10.    CANCELLATION AND RETURNS

With the exception of a return pursuant to the Consumer Guarantees:

10.1   A fee of 25% will be charged for the cancellation of any order or the return of any goods. The fee will be based on the value of the order or the sale price of the goods as the case may be. The parties agree that the fee constitutes a genuine pre-estimate of Bondi's loss arising from the cancellation or return of goods.

10.2   Where the buyer delivers goods for return to Bondi and, if Bondi accepts the return of those goods, the buyer will be given credit to the value of the sale price of those goods less any applicable fees and charges only if the goods are returned with-in 30 days of invoice date

10.3   The credit given for the return of any custom made goods will be reduced by the amount of Bondi’s expenses in delivering or installing those goods.

10.4   The credit given for the return of any spare parts will be reduced by a testing fee, in consideration that Bondi must test the spare parts to ensure that they are in satisfactory condition for resale. Bondi will provide the buyer an estimate of the testing fee prior to undertaking the testing.

10.5   Where Bondi rejects the claim for credit for goods returned, and advises the buyer accordingly, the buyer must make arrangements to collect the goods at the buyer's expense within 14 days of notification of the claim being rejected.

13.    BUYER’S REQUIREMENTS

13.1   Prior to Bondi’s acceptance of any order, the buyer must inform Bondi of all its requirements including any statutory or regulatory requirements relating to the installation and end use of goods in the place of intended use.

14.2   Bondi may charge the buyer an engineering test fee where any goods returned for testing, subsequently pass all applicable tests. If requested, Bondi will provide an estimate of the fees likely to be incurred prior to undertaking the testing.

 

15.    BUYER’S DEFAULT AND INDEMNITY

15.1   Without prejudice to any other remedy, if the buyer breaches any of its obligations under a contract with Bondi, commits an act of bankruptcy, is unable to pay its debts when due or becomes insolvent (within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)), has a liquidator or provisional liquidator appointed in respect of it, enters into a deed of company arrangement, makes any composition or arrangement with its creditors, or steps are taken for the winding up of the buyer, or the buyer has a receiver appointed over any of its property, Bondi may treat any contract with the buyer as terminated and the price then unpaid whether or not due in whole or part, shall become due and payable.

15.2   If the manufacture, dispatch or transport of goods is delayed due to any act or omission of the buyer, and that delay continues beyond a reasonable time, Bondi may treat the contract as terminated and a proportion of the price that reflects the work already done by Bondi together with any expenses and any additional costs attributable to such delay, shall become due and payable.

15.3   The buyer shall indemnify and keep Bondi indemnified against any Loss which:

(a) Bondi may suffer or incur, or is liable for arising out of, or in connection with the storage, use, possession, or other act or omission of the buyer in respect of any goods supplied; or

(b) may be brought by a third party arising out of or in connection with any goods supplied by Bondi to the buyer, except to the extent that any Loss arises due to a defect in the goods or directly from the gross negligence or fraud of Bondi.

16.    CLAIMS

16.1   The buyer shall advise Bondi in writing of any claims:

(a) for loss or damage – within 14 days of receipt in the case of Australian orders and 21 days of receipt in the case of export orders; and

(a) any term, condition or warranty that may otherwise be implied into these Contract Terms;

(b) any liability for Loss; and

(c) any liability for Consequential Loss.

18.2   Subject to clause 18.3, if the supply of goods or services is to a consumer (as defined in the Australian Consumer Law), then Bondi’s goods and services are provided with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.

18.3   If the buyer is a consumer and the goods or services supplied are not goods or services 'of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption', as that expression is used in section 64A of the Australian Consumer Law and it is 'fair or reasonable' for Bondi to rely on such limitation in accordance with section 64A(3) of the Australian Consumer Law; then Bondi’s liability for any breach of the Consumer Guarantees:

(a) in the case of goods will be limited to:
(i) the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods;
(ii) the repair of the goods; or

(iii) the payment of having the goods repaired.

(i) the supplying of the services again; or

20.3   The buyer will be deemed to have accepted the proposed Contract Terms pursuant to clause 27.

20.4   If the buyer, acting reasonably, considers the proposed changes to the Contract Terms to be unacceptable, it may terminate the contract by providing reasonable notice to Bondi before the effective date of the proposed Contract Terms. The right of the buyer to terminate under this clause does not negate any of the buyer’s obligations under these Contract Terms in relation to payment for goods or services that have already been ordered by Bondi or for payment to Bondi of any reasonably incurred expenses or costs in relation to the termination.

21.1   All Intellectual Property in Bondi Materials is owned by or licensed to Bondi and is protected under Australian and international law.
