These terms and conditions of sale apply to all quotations made and purchase orders entered into by LAND AIR SEA SPACE PTY LTD, (The Seller). Acceptance of the Buyer’s order is made only on the express understanding and condition that if these terms and conditions conflict with any terms and conditions of the Buyer’s order, these terms and conditions prevail, irrespective of whether the Buyer accepts these conditions by a written acknowledgment, by implication, or acceptance and payment of goods ordered. The Seller’s failure to object to provisions contained in any communication from the Buyer will not be deemed a waiver of the provisions of these terms and conditions. No change in these terms and conditions is binding on the Seller unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorised representative of the Seller. The Seller is not bound by any communication from the Buyer which attempts to impose on the Seller any obligations or conditions which are different from, or addition to, these terms and conditions. The Buyer’s acceptance of this order is limited to these terms and conditions.

2. PAYMENT TERMS

Unless the Buyer has made previous credit arrangements satisfactory to the Seller, payment is due net thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Payment for orders accepted on other terms are due in strict accordance with the terms quoted. The Seller reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or withdraw credit terms offered to the Buyer at any time and to require security of payment in advance if the Seller, in its discretion, believes that Buyer will not satisfactorily perform its obligations hereunder or that Buyer’s credit is impaired. If the Buyer fails to make timely payment of any amount invoiced, the Seller has the right, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, to immediately revoke any or all credit extended, or to delay or cancel future deliveries. The Buyer is responsible to the Seller for all reasonable legal fees, court costs, and mercantile agency fees incurred by the Seller should the Buyer default on payment. Despite the delivery of the goods to the Buyer’s premises, title to and ownership of the goods remains with the Seller until payment in full for the goods is made by the Buyer to the Seller. The Buyer must store or mark the goods in such a fashion that they are clearly identified as the property of the Seller.

Goods shipped in excess of quantity ordered may only be returned if the amount returned exceeds one hundred and ten percent (110%) of the quantity ordered. In the event that the amount received falls within plus or minus the ten percent (10%) tolerance, the Buyer must pay for the amount actually delivered. The Schedule reflects the Seller’s best estimates, in accordance with the Buyer’s requirements, and every effort will be made to meet the Schedule barring delays which the Seller could not reasonably foresee at the time of establishment of the Schedule. The Seller assumes no liability, consequential or otherwise, resulting from failure to meet the Schedule.
