1. INTERPRETATION

• In these conditions:
  “Delivery” means the date the Goods are delivered by AMIG to the carrier for transport to the Purchaser or, where transport of the Goods is postponed due to the purchaser’s delay or request, the date on which AMIG notifies the Purchaser that the Goods are ready to be transported.
  “Goods” means the products and, if any, services specified in the relevant Purchase Order.
  “Purchaser” means the purchaser of the Goods specified in the relevant Purchase Order.
  “Purchase Order” means a written order in the form from time to time approved by AMIG for the purchaser to order a specified quantity of Goods from AMIG, whether utilising an online ordering system or otherwise.
  “AMIG” means AUSTRALASIAN MOTOR IMPORT GROUP PTY LTD (A.C.N.  608 097 481), the seller/supplier of the Goods.

2. Terms and Conditions

• The Goods and any other products sold by AMIG are sold on these terms and conditions of sale. No document or statement purporting to alter these terms is effective, nor does it form part of these terms, unless it is specifically accepted as such, in writing, by a properly authorised officer of AMIG.
• These terms and conditions of sale bind the Purchaser and AMIG whenever AMIG accepts the Purchaser’s written Purchase Order for the supply and sale of the Goods whether by words or conduct. These terms are considered by the parties to be an amendment of any pre-existing terms presented by the Purchaser in any Purchase Order, and will supersede such terms.
• Orders placed with AMIG are subject to acceptance by AMIG and the placing of an order or the payment of a deposit will be taken as an acknowledgement that the Purchaser has read these Terms and Conditions and agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions.

3. Quotations

• The price of Goods ordered by the purchaser will be as per any written quotation by AMIG for the Goods, given by AMIG to the Purchaser within 7 days after the date of receipt of the Purchase Order.
• The Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted a quotation, on these terms, and agreed to accept the Goods specified if the Purchaser does not reject the quotation in writing, within 7 days after the date of the quotation, or such other acceptance period stated in the quotation.
• A quotation is only valid for the country of destination that is specified and, if none is specified, for delivery in Australia.
• All prices unless otherwise stated are nett of any fees, charges and taxes.
• A quotation may be altered or withdrawn at any time before receipt of acceptance.

4. Shortages and Defects

• The Purchaser waives any right to make a claim for shortage of, or defect in, any Goods delivered by AMIG to the Purchaser, unless such claim has been lodged with AMIG within 7 days from the date of Delivery of the Goods by AMIG to the Purchaser. The expiry of this time limit is agreed between the parties to be conclusive evidence of the lack of any shortage or defect in the order as delivered.
• All specifications, drawings and particulars of weights and dimensions for Goods submitted by the Purchaser or to AMIG are approximate only and any deviation shall not constitute a shortage or defect entitling the Purchaser to a claim against AMIG.
• All descriptions, illustrations and performances, relating to Goods, which are contained in AMIG’s catalogues, price lists and other advertising matter do not form part of the contract of sale of the Goods.
• Where specifications, drawings or other particulars are supplied by the Purchaser, AMIG’s quotation is an estimate only based on estimates of quantities required. If any adjustments in quantities as set out in a quotation is required, any consequent increased price shall be payable by the Purchaser.

5. Delivery

• Any delivery times made known to the Purchaser are estimates only and AMIG shall not be liable to the Purchaser for direct or indirect loss suffered by the Purchasers or its customers as a result of late delivery or non-delivery of the Goods.
• The Purchaser will not be entitled to terminate the contract for late delivery or non-delivery of the Goods unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
• Shipping times vary depending on location. Customers can choose from either $10 flat rate shipping or $16 express shipping. 

6. Loss or Damage in Transit

• AMIG is not responsible for any loss, penalties, liquidated damages or damage to the Goods in Transit. The Purchaser will be solely responsible for any risk in transit from the point of loading for transit from AMIG’s depot or that of its agent.  Any carriers engaged to carry the goods are deemed to be agents of the Purchaser, regardless of whether AMIG engaged the carriers.
• Without limiting clause 6.1, AMIG shall provide such reasonable assistance as may be necessary to enable the Purchaser to press claims on carriers of the Goods if the Purchaser has first notified AMIG and the carriers, in writing, immediately such loss or damage of the Goods is discovered by the Purchaser (or its agents) and has lodged a claim on the carrier within 3 days of the date of receipt of the Goods.

7. Payment

• The Purchaser undertakes to pay all amounts as and when they become due and owing.
• Unless agreed otherwise in writing, the purchaser must pay the invoiced price for all Goods in Australian dollars.
• The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that AMIG may, at its discretion, charge a service fee at the rate of 1.5 per cent per month on any overdue amounts and that in addition to the amount of the account the Purchaser shall pay in full that service fee and any legal or collection fees or other outlays incurred in recovering any such overdue account and service fee.
• AMIG reserves the right to require payment prior to delivery of any Goods if it reasonably appears to AMIG in its absolutely unfettered opinion, that the Purchaser may be unable for any reason to effect payment promptly in accordance with the above terms. Failure or delay on the Purchaser’s part to pay in accordance with the above terms shall entitle AMIG to withhold further deliveries both in respect of any other contract for supply of the Goods to the Purchaser until such payment has been made.  It is agreed that in the event that the purchaser does not make payment in accordance with the above terms, the credit facilities may be refused, changed or withdrawn and all moneys owing by the Purchaser will become immediately payable.
• AMIG reserves the right from time to time to place limits on the amount of credit to be extended to the Purchaser.
• The cost of any special packing and packing materials used by AMIG for the Goods shall be at the purchaser’s expense notwithstanding that such costs may have been omitted from any quotation.
• Prices quoted are based on rates of freight, insurance, customs duties, exchange, shipping expenses, sorting and stacking charges, cartage, rate of weights, cost of materials and other charges affecting the cost of production as at the date of quotation and any alterations to any such costs acceptance of which increase or decrease the price quoted shall be to the Purchaser’s account.
• The Purchaser is responsible to pay all applicable Federal and State import duties, and the process of clearing the goods through any customs process and any other tax including tax in the nature of a goods and services tax, duty, charge or impost which is payable in respect of the Goods in addition to the quoted sale price.
• AMIG may charge a reasonable amount for storage of the Goods if delivery instructions are not provided by the Purchaser within 14 days of a request by AMIG for such information.
• All prices quoted are to be regarded as firm for the validity period stated, or where no period is stated, for a period of 14 days. When firm prices are not quoted goods will be invoiced at price ruling at date of dispatch from AMIG’s Australian depot or that of its agent.

8. Retention of Title

• Without affecting clause 8.2, until the Goods are paid for in full by the Purchaser, ownership of the Goods remains with AMIG whether or not the Goods pass into the possession of the Purchaser.
• The purchaser assumes the risk for any loss or damage to or deterioration of the Goods as and from the date of Delivery. The Purchaser is also liable for any costs incurred after the date of Delivery including AMIG storage costs, additional transportation costs that exceed those contemplated by the agreement between parties, increased cost of freight and insurance rates not contemplated by the quoted sale price.
• The Purchaser must keep all ordered Goods insured for their full value from the date of Delivery until full payment for the Goods has been made.
• "Default" shall mean:-
• Failure by the Purchaser to pay any amount owing by the Purchaser to AMIG by the due date for any payment;
• External administration or act of Bankruptcy of any kind;
• The legal ownership of any Goods sold by AMIG and delivered to the Purchaser will only be transferred to the Purchaser only when the Purchaser has made payment in full for all moneys owing to AMIG, notwithstanding that the Purchaser incorporates AMIG Goods into other Goods so that they become part of the composite Goods. Until all moneys owed by the Purchaser to AMIG are paid in full AMIG may recover and keep the composite Goods in the AMIG’s capacity as fiduciary/agent of the Purchaser.  The Purchaser irrevocably authorises AMIG and its officers and agents to enter onto any premises to recover possession of the Goods prior to title passing to the Purchaser.
• This agreement shall apply notwithstanding payment of a deposit by the Purchaser to AMIG. Further, payment of a deposit will be no barrier to AMIG taking enforcement action pursuant to this agreement.
• Upon default being made by the Purchaser, AMIG may recover and resell the goods notwithstanding that the goods have been installed in any vehicle, and/or institute proceedings for the price of those goods.
• Until the Goods are paid for in full, the Purchaser will store any goods supplied by AMIG in such a way that those goods are clearly the property of AMIG.
• Upon default being made by the Purchaser, AMIG by its employees or agents may enter the Purchaser's premises for the purpose of recovering possession of the goods pursuant to sub-paragraph 3.3 above.
• The risk of loss of AMIG goods or damage or injury to AMIG goods shall pass to the Purchaser from the time that the goods are dispatched to the Purchaser including the period the goods are in transit.

9. Equitable Charge

•  In consideration of AMIG agreeing to accept any offer, the Purchaser and each of its directors jointly and severally hereby agrees to charge all their equitable interest in freehold or leasehold property.  Each of these parties hereby agrees to the lodgement of a caveat and / or Personal Property Securities Register notification on any such property to properly secure any part of the debt to AMIG and to deliver to AMIG within 7 days of demand, a properly executed mortgage in a form approved by AMIG, which includes a covenant providing that interest may be charged on all outstanding monies at rates set from time to time by these terms.  These parties hereby irrevocably provide AMIG with a power of attorney sufficient to register both a consent caveat and a mortgage should any amount remain unpaid at any time.  Such power of attorney is irrevocable until all funds are paid to AMIG.

10. Credit enquiries
