Together with any terms accepted in writing by the Business in connection with an order, these Conditions constitute the entire agreement between the Business and the Customer in relation to the Supplies ordered. No variation to these Conditions is permitted unless expressly authorised in writing by a director of the Business.
3. Prices and GST
Prices stated in the Catalogue for Supplies are in Australian dollars, inclusive of GST or other duties or taxes and exclusive of any applicable transport and handling charges, which will be added at the time of checkout. The Business has used all reasonable endeavours to ensure that prices for the Supplies are accurately set out in the Catalogue but these prices are not binding and the Business reserves the right to change its prices without notice at any time. Prices charged will be those prevailing when an order is accepted. Where Supplies are to be made in instalments (‘Scheduled Delivery’) the price payable for them will be that applicable at the time of dispatch of the first batch of Supplies but, where Scheduled Delivery may continue for a period of 90 days or more, the Business reserves the right to charge the Customer further amounts if the price of the Supplies increases before the end of that period.
The Business will issue a tax invoice to the Customer in relation to any supply that is subject to GST. The amount of GST payable will be calculated by multiplying the sum of the price for the supplies plus any additional freight or other charges by the rate of GST applicable at the time of the supply. The words “supply” and “tax invoice” in this Condition 3 have the same meaning as that given to them in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth).
4. Payment
Payment is due not later than 30 days from the date of statement, without any deductions, withholding or set off. Time for payment is of the essence. If the Customer fails to make payment by the due date then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, the Business shall be entitled to:

10. Description
All specifications, drawings, illustrations, descriptions and particulars of weights, dimensions, capacity or other details including, without limitation, any statements regarding compliance with legislation or regulation (together “Descriptions”) wherever they appear (including without limitation in this Catalogue, on dispatch notes, invoices or packaging) are intended to give a general idea of the Supplies, but will not form part of the Contract. If the Description of any Goods differs from the manufacturer’s description, the latter shall be deemed to be correct. The Business shall take all reasonable steps to ensure the accuracy of Descriptions but relies on such information, if any, as may have been provided to it by its suppliers and to the fullest extent possible by law excludes all liability in contract or tort or under statute or otherwise for any error in or omission from such Descriptions whether caused by the Business’s negligence or otherwise. The Business may make changes to the Supplies as part of a continuous programme of improvement or to comply with legislation.
11. Risk and ownership
The risk of damage to or loss of Goods will pass to the Customer when the Goods are unloaded from the Business’s carriers, either at the Customer’s premises, or at the port of delivery for Overseas orders. The responsibility of Customs, duty and tax charges is solely that of the Customer. The Business cannot and will not pay local delivery taxes and surcharges on Overseas shipments. Ownership of the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until the Business has received in full (in cash or cleared funds) all sums due from the Customer to the Business for those Goods.
Until ownership passes to the Customer, the Customer must hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as the Business’s bailee, insure the Goods against all usual risks to full replacement value, not pledge or allow any lien, charge or other interest to arise over Goods, and store each delivery of Goods separately, clearly identified as the Business’s property and in a manner to enable them to be identified and cross referenced to particular invoices where reasonably possible. The Customer may use or sell Goods in the ordinary course of business, provided that the Customer will be agent for the Business in any sale if Goods are sold. However any such agency will only extend to the obligation to account for proceeds. The Customer will not be bound by any contract between the Customer and the Customer’s purchaser. The Customer must account to the Business for that part of the proceeds of any such sale which equates to the price of the Goods and shall hold that amount in a separate bank account on trust for the Business. The Customer will hold on trust for the Business in a separate bank account any insurance monies received by the Customer for Goods owned by the Business.
The Business’s rights as an unpaid seller will not be affected by the Business retaining title to Goods under this Condition 11.
If any payment for Supplies is not received in full by the due date, or the Customer becomes bankrupt, passes a resolution for winding up or a court shall make an order to that effect, or a receiver or administrator is appointed over any assets or the undertaking of the Customer or an execution or distress is levied against the Customer, the Customer shall not sell, use or part with possession of the Goods, and the Business shall be entitled, without previous notice and without prejudice to the Business’s other remedies, to retake possession of the Goods and for that purpose to enter upon any premises occupied or owned by the Customer.
If the Goods are mixed, processed or used so that they lose their identity or are irrevocably incorporated in, mixed with or applied to other goods to make another item, then ownership of the Goods will pass to the Customer, however a portion of proceeds of sale of any such item equivalent to the cost for the unpaid Goods remains in trust for the Business until payment for the Goods is made in full.
This Catalogue including images and descriptions remains at all times the sole and exclusive property of the Business.
12. Quality Assurance
All Goods detailed in the Catalogue have been processed in strict accordance with standard quality practices.
13. Performance and fitness for purpose
Subject to Condition 15:
(i) unless any performance figures, tolerances or characteristics have been specifically and expressly warranted by a director of the Business in writing, the Business accepts no liability for any failure of the Supplies to comply with such criteria, whether attributable to the Business’s negligence or otherwise; and
(ii) the responsibility for ensuring that Supplies are sufficient and suitable for a particular purpose is the Customer’s, unless specifically stated in writing by a director of the Business. Any advice or recommendation given by an employee of the Business which is not confirmed in writing by a director of the Business is acted on entirely at the Customer’s risk and the Business shall not be liable for any such advice or recommendation which is not so confirmed.
14. Warranty/Guarantee
The Business will endeavor to transfer to the Customer the benefit of any warranty or guarantee given by the manufacturer of Goods.
In addition, the Business will, free of charge, repair or, at the Business’s option, replace Goods which are proved to the reasonable satisfaction of the Business to be damaged or defective due to faulty materials, workmanship or design for a period of 1month after dispatch of the Goods. Software is supplied on the strict understanding that the Business does not warrant their function to be free from defects or error. This obligation will not apply:
• if the defect arises because the Customer has altered or repaired such Goods without the written consent of the Business;
• if the defect arises because the Customer did not follow the manufacturers’ instructions for storage, usage, installation, use or maintenance of the Goods;
• if the Customer has failed to notify the Business of any defect in accordance with Condition 8 where the defect should have been reasonably apparent on reasonable inspection; or
• if the Customer fails to notify the Business of the defect within 1 month(or such other period as the Business shall specify at the time of acceptance of the order for the Supplies) of the date of dispatch of the Goods.
Any replacement Supplies made or Goods repaired under this Condition 14 will be guaranteed on these terms for any unexpired portion of the period of guarantee given on the original Supplies. Any Goods which have been replaced will belong to the Business.
Warranty claims will not be considered initiated until the Customer returns the Goods to “The Returns Department TTMOTO (TRIALTECHMOTO), Denis Lovett Parcel Collect 10018 72778 Centro Shopping Town, Shop 175, 1015 Sandgate Road Toombul QLD 4012.” clearly quoting the Customer’s account number, order number and description of order. Upon receipt of the goods by The Business, a warranty assessment will be made. Should the outcome be in the Customers favour, the Business will reimburse, in full, the cost of the product and return freight and/or provide an identical replacement product and reimbursement of the Customer’s warranty freight fees.
The Customer grants to the Business and its employees, agents and representatives a right to enter onto its premises to effect any repair or replacement under this Condition 14. The Customer shall ensure that the Business’s employees, agents and representatives are provided with a safe and secure working environment while at its premises and the Customer shall be responsible for isolating any computers or processors requiring repair or replacement from its network and for making back-up copies of any information on such computers or processors before the Business’s arrival on site.
