These General Conditions of Sale will apply to the sale of any goods or services (Goods) by Interquip to the Customer and will form part of any contract resulting from the acceptance of a purchase order placed with Interquip by the Customer (Customer). In the event of any inconsistency between any purchase order or other document issued by the Customer and these General Conditions of Sale, the General Conditions of Sale will prevail.

Any quotation issued by Interquip is not an offer to sell and may be withdrawn or varied at any time prior to a related purchase order being accepted by Interquip in accordance with clause 3. A quotation will only be valid for 30 days from its date of issue unless extended in writing by Interquip. All prices quoted by Interquip are subject to variation in accordance with clause 5.

All purchase orders received by Interquip are subject to acceptance by Interquip in writing. The issue by Interquip of a written acceptance of a purchase order will not be or imply acceptance of any terms or conditions in the purchase order which are inconsistent with these General Conditions of Sale.

Interquip's terms of payment are net cash before despatch unless the Customer possesses a current credit account with Interquip. The terms of payment for a current credit account are net cash, free of exchange, 30 days from when the Goods are delivered or ready for delivery. Interquip reserves the right to invoice for partial deliveries and deliveries delayed at the request of the Customer. Interest must be paid on any account which is in arrears with interest calculated from the due date for payment until final payment has been received by Interquip.

Any change in the cost of labour, materials, transport, essential services, tariffs, duties, exchange, or any other costs or expenses incurred by Interquip between the date of quotation and the date of invoice must be paid for by the Customer.

Prices quoted do not include the cost of any packing. The cost of providing packing requested by the Customer must be paid for by the Customer.

Prices quoted are "ex-works" or "ex-site" and all costs of freight and delivery from Interquip's works or from site will be to the Customer's account. Delivery will be deemed to occur when the Customer is informed by Interquip that the Goods are ready for collection from Interquip's works or from site.

The time within which Interquip may advise the Customer that it will make delivery of its order will be regarded as a best estimate, but will not be guaranteed and may be subject to extension to cover delays caused by Government priorities, strikes, lockouts, breakdowns, delays in transport, fire, late delivery of raw material or components, or other causes beyond the control of Interquip and no responsibility will be accepted by Interquip for the consequences of any such delays. Interquip may make delivery of and invoice any order either as a whole or in separate parts and effect delivery at any time within the period advised by it for delivery of the order. If the Customer requests Interquip to delay delivery or fails to give Interquip adequate delivery instructions, Interquip may store the Goods at the Customer's expense.

Insurance cover is the responsibility of the Customer and all Goods will be at the Customer's risk from the point of delivery as defined in clause 8. Interquip will not be responsible for any loss or damage occurring after the point of delivery and will only arrange insurance upon written instruction from the Customer and at the Customer's expense.

The Customer will not, after acceptance of an order, cancel or amend it in any way without the written approval of Interquip. Interquip may, on consenting to an amendment, revise its price and delivery schedule and amend the order to reflect such change. In the event of an amendment or cancellation, the Customer must reimburse Interquip for all costs and expenses already incurred by Interquip and any additional costs and expenses resulting from the amendment or cancellation.

Where Interquip sells Goods as an agent for the owner of the Goods, Interquip makes no representations and gives no warranties:

Interquip may, in its absolute discretion, agree to accept the return of any Goods and credit the Customer with the invoiced value of the Goods provided the Goods are returned in "as purchased" condition and Interquip has given its written approval for the return of the Goods. Interquip reserves the right to charge an administrative fee for the return of any such Goods by the Customer.

Interquip does not warrant any equipment of other manufacturers.

The Customer indemnifies and holds Interquip harmless from and against all liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses incurred or suffered by the Customer and from and against all actions, proceedings, claims or demands made against Interquip, arising in either case as a result of:

All drawings, specifications, descriptions and other documents attached to any quotation are for tendering purposes only and will not form the basis of nor be part of any contract between the Customer and Interquip. After receipt of the Customer's orders, Interquip will provide, if it has agreed in writing to do so, copies of available drawings, specifications and manuals. The details contained therein will be submitted in good faith as being correct but any errors, omissions or defects therein will not be grounds for cancellation of the contract nor entitle the Customer to make any claim against Interquip. All additional manuals, drawings or documentation requested by the Customer will be at the Customer's expense.

Where the Goods are located on Interquip's premises, the Customer's inspectors will be given full access to all relevant areas of Interquip's premises for the purpose of inspection and testing of the Goods. Inspectors are required to seek appointments for those inspections through Interquip's appointed representative by giving at least 24 hours notice. The Customer's inspectors must be accompanied at all times by an Interquip representative while inspecting and testing the Goods. Where the Goods are located on site or on premises other than Interquip's, Interquip will take all reasonable steps to organise and facilitate the inspection of the Goods by the Customer's inspectors. The cost of the inspections and testing, and travel and related expenses for the inspection and testing of the Goods is at the Customer's expense.

No responsibility is accepted by Interquip for loss or damage to the Customer's equipment or other goods left in Interquip's possession.

If at any time any question, dispute or difference whatsoever shall arise between the Customer and Interquip upon, in relation to, or in connection with a sale of Goods such question, dispute or difference may be referred to arbitration in Australia by a person to be mutually agreed upon or, in default of agreement, by a person appointed by the President for the time being of the Institute of Industrial Engineers, Australia.
