      terms. This applies regardless of whether we have allowed you to purchase goods on credit at any particular time. If at any time we refuse to grant you credit for the purchase of goods, this refusal does not affect the credit terms

    7. Title and Risk

      Title in the products will not pass to you until the later of delivery, or your payment has been processed or otherwise received by us. If your payment is declined for any reason we reserve the right to
      reclaim the products from your possession, custody or control even if they have been delivered to you or moved from the delivery address. We reserve the right to keep or sell the products and request that you return them. Risk of
      loss, damage or deterioration to any products will pass to you once the product is delivered to the address you provide.

      with possession of the goods other than in the ordinary course of business and for market value. If you sell, dispose or part with possession of the goods then you must hold the proceeds of any such act on trust for us and must pay
      or deliver the proceeds to us on demand. You must not convert or process the goods or intermix them with other goods, if you do so then you must hold the resulting product on trust for the benefit of us and must sell, dispose of or
      return the resulting product to us as we so direct. We may recover possession of any goods in transit whether or not delivery has occurred. You must not charge or grant an encumbrance over the goods nor grant nor otherwise give away
      any interest in the goods while they remain our property. We may commence proceedings to recover the price of the goods sold by you notwithstanding that ownership of the goods has not passed to you.
    9. PPSA

      You acknowledge and agree that each agreement for supply on credit terms which you obtain with us, constitutes a Security Agreement for the purposes of the Personal Properties Securities Act 2009 (Cth) (PPSA) and
      that we will register its security interest, which is created by virtue of the retention of title provisions set out above, in the relevant products and in the proceeds of sale of the goods on the Personal Properties Security
      Register (PPSR). You acknowledge, that in the event of default by you, we may exercise any and all remedies available to us as a Secured Party under Chapter 4 of the PPSA including, without limitation, entry into any building or

    Your feedback is important to us. We seek to resolve your concerns quickly and effectively. If you have any feedback or questions about our products, please contact us. If there is a dispute between the Parties in relation to these
    Terms, the Parties agree to the following dispute resolution procedure:

    1. The complainant must tell the respondent in writing the nature of the dispute, what outcome the complainant wants and what action the complainant thinks will settle the dispute. The Parties agree to meet in good faith to seek to
      resolve the dispute by agreement between them (Initial Meeting).
    2. If the Parties cannot agree how to resolve the dispute at the Initial Meeting, any Party may refer the matter to a mediator. If the Parties cannot agree on who the mediator should be, the complainant will ask the Law Society of New
      South Wales to appoint a mediator. The mediator will decide the time and place for mediation. The Parties must attend the mediation in good faith, to seek to resolve the dispute. Any attempts made by the Parties to resolve a dispute
      pursuant to this clause are without prejudice to other rights or entitlements of the Parties under these Terms, by law or in equity.
  10. Consumer Law, Return, Refund and Exchange Policy

    1. ACL

      Certain legislation including the Australian Consumer Law (ACL) in the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and similar consumer protection laws and regulations may confer you with rights,
      warranties, guarantees and remedies relating to the provision of services by us to you which cannot be excluded, restricted or modified (Statutory Rights).

    2. Goods & Services

      If you are a consumer as defined in the ACL, the following notice applies to you: “Our goods and services come with warranties and guarantees that cannot be excluded under the
      Australian Consumer Law (Consumer Guarantees). You are entitled to a replacement or a refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods
      repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. You are also entitled to have services remedied if they are not rendered with due care and skill or they are not
      fit for purpose and the failure does not amount to a major failure.”

    3. Nothing in these Terms excludes your Statutory Rights as a consumer under the ACL. You agree that our liability for goods provided to a person or entity defined as a “consumer” under the ACL is governed solely by the ACL and
      these Terms. We exclude all conditions and warranties implied by custom, law or statute except for your Statutory Rights.
    4. Warranties

      Seller

      Except for your Statutory Rights, all material and work is provided to you without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, and we expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind including
      but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

      Manufacturer

      Products may come with a manufacturer’s warranty. The manufacturer’s warranty is in addition to but may overlap with
      any rights and remedies you may have under applicable law, including any Consumer Guarantees. If you are not considered a “consumer” within the meaning of the ACL, the manufacturer’s warranty may be your sole remedy. You should check
      the manufacturer’s warranty, as many manufacturers’ warranties do not apply in a business or commercial setting. Please contact the manufacturer if you would like to make a claim under the manufacturer’s warranty.

    5. Repair, replacement or a refund

      If you wish to seek repair, resupply, replacement or a refund for a product, please contact us and we will explain the requirements to you. This may include you providing
      proof of purchase and evidence of the faulty product to us. If you are not a consumer as defined by the ACL, you must submit any claim for incorrect shipments, faulty or damaged products within 5 business days of receipt of products.

    6. Refund

      If you are entitled to a refund, we will only give you the refund once evidence of faulty product is received by us, or we have received the product at our warehouse and inspected it and assessed
      whether it is eligible for a refund under these Terms. Any refund we make will be by the same payment method used to purchase the product.

    7. Installed

      Subject to this clause, we will not accept or return any product that has been used, connected, installed, attempted to be connected or installed, or if your product is custom-made or is a special
      buy product.

    8. Packaging

      You must adequately package any product you are returning for our collection to ensure that it is not damaged during return delivery to our warehouse. We will arrange for any products you want
      returned to be collected, usually within 5 business days.

    9. Duty of care

      You have a duty of care for the product while it is in your possession. If you damage products, then subsequently return the products, you may be liable to pay to repair the product to its
      original condition. In these circumstances, where a repair is not economically viable, no refund will be made.

    10. Customer warranties

      you warrant that you have all the necessary authorities, permits, licenses or other permissions necessary, pursuant to statue or otherwise, to lawfully purchase the products from us.
