TERMS OF TRADE
1. Application
of Terms
Except as may be expressly stated
otherwise, including, in a written quotation or proposal submitted by Bodyline
Imports Pty Ltd ABN 55 158 647 002 (Bodyline) to the Customer, or a
written contract of sale signed by Bodyline, these Terms of Trade (Terms)
apply to every sale of goods or services (Products) by Bodyline to any
Customer. Bodyline may accept or decline all or any part of a Customer’s
request to purchase Products in its absolute discretion.
2. PRICES
All prices published and Products offered
for supply by Bodyline are subject to change without notice. The Customer
should check the price of Products before placing an order for it. Prices
quoted are, unless otherwise stated, exclusive of goods and services tax (GST)
and are valid for delivery of Products within 14 days of the date on which the
Customer communicates an offer to purchase Products to Bodyline. Prices quoted
for delivery of Products are EXW (“Ex Works” Incoterms® 2010).
3. GST
If GST is imposed on any supply made by Bodyline,
the Customer must pay to Bodyline, in addition to any consideration payable or
to be provided by Customer for this supply, an additional amount for the supply
calculated by multiplying the prevailing GST rate by the consideration for the
relevant supply payable or to be provided (without any deduction or set off).
Any amount payable by Customer is payable on demand by Bodyline, whether such
demand is made by an invoice raised by Bodyline or otherwise.
4. DELIVERY
and Installation
4.1 The Customer acknowledges that:
(a) certain Products may not be available to
Customers located outside supplier prescribed territories; and
(b) the delivery and transportation of certain Products
may be subject to prescribed safety restrictions or limitations.
4.2 Any date given to the Customer by Bodyline
for delivery of Products shall be an estimate only, and, although Bodyline
shall use commercially reasonable endeavours to meet such delivery date, Bodyline
shall not be subject to or incur any penalty or liability for any claim, loss,
damage or obligation, direct or indirect, consequential or otherwise, arising
out of any delay in delivery or non-delivery regardless of the reason.
4.3 If for any reason Bodyline is unable to
deliver Products either within a reasonable time or at all, the applicable
purchase order and/or contract of sale shall be cancellable, in full or only as
to certain Products, at Bodyline’s option, and neither Bodyline nor the
Customer shall be subject to or incur any penalty or liability for any claim,
loss, damage or obligation, direct or indirect, consequential or otherwise,
arising out of such cancelation.
4.4 Delivery is completed in relation to each
instalment of an order when Bodyline hands over all of the Products in the
instalment to a carrier for transmission to the Customer; or completes loading
all of the Products in the instalment at the nominated delivery location for
transmission to the Customer; or places all of the Products in the instalment
at the Customer’s disposal at the delivery location. Such delivery shall be
deemed to be acceptance of Products by the Customer, regardless of whether the
Customer is present at the time of delivery to inspect the Products and sign a
receipt therefor.
4.5 Disposal of all shipping pallets, containers,
and packaging becomes the responsibility of the Customer upon delivery.
4.5 If the Customer has contracted Bodyline to
install Products at the Customer’s premises, the Customer shall, at its
expense, ensure that the installation site is ready, and has been prepared in
accordance with agreed specifications, on the date agreed for installation of
the Products; and that adequate and safe power and lighting is available at the
installation site which is readily and safely accessible to Bodyline’
technicians. The Customer will be responsible to provide Bodyline’s technicians
with such induction/site training as is appropriate and which the Customer
deems reasonably necessary having regard to the nature of the services to be
provided by the technicians. The Customer will indemnify Bodyline for any
additional costs incurred in connection with the installation if the site is not
available in the specified condition.
5. PAYMENT
5.1 If the Customer has not been granted a line
of credit with Bodyline, the Customer must pay to Bodyline the invoiced amount
for the Products, including any associated delivery and administration charges,
plus GST, at the time the Customer places the order, selecting one of the
payment options available. The Customer indemnifies Bodyline for any loss
suffered by Bodyline if a charge to a bank or other account is not honoured.
5.2 If the Customer has been granted a line of
credit with Bodyline, the Customer must pay to Bodyline the invoiced amount for
the Products, including any associated delivery and administration charges,
plus GST, within thirty (30) days of the end of the month during which the Products
were invoiced.
5.3 If the Customer commits any act of
insolvency, all money owing by the Customer to Bodyline, whether by way of
credit or otherwise, will become due and payable immediately. Bodyline reserves
the right to suspend, with or without notice, any deliveries of Products if any
payment due by the Customer to Bodyline is overdue. A
late payment fee of 8% per annum, calculated daily, (being a genuine
pre-estimate of the loss suffered by Bodyline because of the Customer’s failure
to make timely payment) may be charged on overdue amounts. The Customer will reimburse Bodyline, on a full indemnity basis, all
costs incurred by Bodyline as a consequence of a charge to a bank or
other account or a cheque not being honoured, and to
its collection agents and/or lawyers in relation to the collection of any
moneys owed to Bodyline that are not paid when due.

cost of the return freight, otherwise the cost of return freight shall be borne

cost of the repair or replacement of the Products or supply of equivalent
Products.

inconvenience, commercial loss, or incidental or consequential damages.

be used in a variety of applications and that there will be no sale of Products

performance of Products used after the expiration of the Products’ prescribed shelf

reasonable control of Bodyline.

varied without the prior written consent of Bodyline.

the nature or effect of the obligations of the parties under these Terms,
without affecting the enforceability of the other provisions.
