1 Scope
1.1 All products are sold by Cutting Edge Lasers (CEL) upon these Terms and Conditions.
If there is any inconsistency between the provisions of any CEL quote or tender
response and these Terms and Conditions, the quote or tender response will apply
to the extent of the inconsistency.
1.2 Unless CEL otherwise agrees in writing, none of CELs quotes are contractual
offers and all quotes lapse after 30 days or the lesser period specified in the
quote.
1.3 No orders submitted by the purchaser will bind CEL until accepted by CEL and
CEL may accept any order in whole or in part.
1.4 All specifications, illustrations, drawings, data, dimensions and weights
in respect of products are believed to be accurate but are given for the purchasers
information only. To the extent permitted by law, they do not form part of the
contract of supply.
2 Price and Payment
2.1 Prices are listed or quoted by CEL in Australian dollars unless specified
otherwise and, subject to paragraph 1.2, may be varied without notice.
2.2 In the case of imported products, prices are calculated by CEL on the basis
of exchange rates selected by CEL from time to time. All CEL quotes will include
the exchange rate used to calculate prices specified in those quotes. If an imported
product is delivered to CEL or its agent in Australia after the date upon which
CEL last advised its purchaser of its price and the exchange rate used to calculate
that price differs, by more than 2%, from the spot rate quoted by the Commonwealth
Bank of Australia (CBA) for conversion of Australian dollars into the relevant
currency as at the date CEL or its agent, at CELs election, took delivery of
that product in Australia (and CEL will inform the purchaser of the relevant date
if the purchaser so requests), either CEL or the purchaser may revise 75% of the
total price last advised to the purchaser by the same percentage rate.
2.3 All prices include freight to purchasers premises by surface transport, unless
CEL states otherwise in writing. A charge of $10 will be added to each invoice
to cover packaging, handling and insurance. Delivery by airfreight, express delivery
or courier at the purchasers request will be charged to the purchaser at cost.
If the purchaser wishes to use its own carrier, the purchaser will pay all freight
and insurance costs ex-CELs store and will indemnify CEL and keep CEL indemnified
from and against any claims, demands, losses and/or liabilities arising in respect
of the transportation of products by the purchasers carrier.
2.4 Unless CEL states otherwise, all prices exclude sales tax and other government
taxes and duties that will be determined by CEL and added to the invoice. Sales
tax will not be added if the purchaser satisfies CEL that it is exempt. Taxes
and duties paid by CEL are not refundable to the purchaser. The purchaser will,
on demand, reimburse CEL any amounts so paid.
2.5 Unless CEL agrees otherwise in writing, where:
[A] a credit account has been approved by CEL, accounts are payable in Australian
dollars in full within 30 days from date of invoice, or unless specified shorter
settlement period in the quote; or
[B] a credit account has not been approved by CEL, full payment in Australian
dollars must be made in cash on delivery.
2.6 The purchaser must not make any deduction from payments due to CEL in respect
of any set-off or counter-claim unless CEL agrees in writing.
2.7 If the purchaser fails to make any payment to CEL when payment is due, CEL
may, without prejudice to any of its other rights and remedies:
[A] charge interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 2% per annum, in excess
of the interest rate charged by the CBA to corporate customers on a monthly charging
cycle for overdrafts less than $100,000 accruing daily, compounded at intervals
determined by CEL and calculated from the date payment was due to the date of
full and final payment. Any payment made by the purchaser to CEL will be applied
firstly against any accrued interest and then in reduction of the overdue amount;
and/or
[B] cancel any order by the purchaser and/or suspend further deliveries of products
to the purchaser.
