2. General
- These Terms of Trade apply to all transactions between the Customer and Polymaster Group relating to the provision of Goods. This includes all quotations, contracts and variations. These Terms of Trade take precedence over any other terms of trade between Polymaster Group and the Customer.
- The variation or waiver of a provision of these terms or a party’s consent to a departure from a provision by another party is ineffective unless in writing signed by the parties.
- Polymaster Group may amend any details in a Quote by notice in writing to the Customer. Such amended details supersede any relevant prior detail in dealings between the parties.
- The Customer is taken to have accepted and is immediately bound, jointly and severally, by these Terms of Trade upon signing these Terms of Trade.
- If any provision of these Terms of Trade offends any law applicable to it and is as a consequence illegal, invalid or unenforceable, then:
- where the offending provision can be read down so as to give a valid and enforceable operation of a partial nature it must be read down to the extent necessary to achieve that result; and
- in any other case the offending provision must be severed from these Terms of Trade in which event the remaining provisions of these Terms of Trade operate as if the severed provision had not been included. The Customer warrants that all the information contained in these Terms of Trade, the Credit Terms and any other contract between the parties is true and correct, and the Customer, its directors, shareholders and related entities (collectively “Associates”) indemnify Polymaster Group from and against all damages, costs, actions, claims, liabilities and demands resulting from any misrepresentation or wilful omission by the Customer and/or its Associates.

- Unless otherwise expressly stated in writing, a Quote does not include delivery or installation of the Goods.
- Quotes are based upon the cost of materials available at the time of preparation of the Quote and assume the timely supply by the Customer of necessary material and instructions to Polymaster Group.
- Following provision of a Quote to the Customer, Polymaster Group is not obliged to commence work until the Quote has been accepted by the Customer. This occurs by the Customer placing an Order and returning any information required to Polymaster Group.
- Polymaster Group reserves the right to amend any Quote before an Order has been placed to take into account any rise or fall in the cost of completing the Order. Polymaster Group will notify the Customer of any amendment as soon as practicable, at which point the amended Quote will be the Quote for the purposes of these Terms of Trade.
- An indication in a Quote of the time frame for the provision of the Goods is an estimate only and is not a fixed time frame. Subject to any obligations in respect of consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law, this estimate is not binding upon Polymaster Group.
4. Orders
- An Order will only be deemed to be placed by the Customer if the Order clearly identifies the Goods ordered and Polymaster Group’s Quote for such Goods. Any costs incurred by Polymaster Group in reliance on incorrect or inadequate information provided by the Customer in an Order may result in the imposition of an Additional Charge.
- Orders must be signed by an authorised representative of the Customer and must specify the requested date of delivery.
- Placement of an Order by the Customer signifies acceptance by the Customer of these Terms of Trade and the most recent Quote provided by Polymaster Group relating to that Order.
- Polymaster Group accepts any Order placed in accordance with provisions of clauses 4(a) to (c), unless Polymaster Group notifies the Customer to the contrary within five (5) Business Days of that Order being placed.
- Polymaster Group may in its absolute discretion refuse to provide Goods where:
- materials required to manufacture the Goods are unavailable for any reason whatsoever;
- credit limits cannot be agreed upon or have been exceeded;
- an event of default has occurred in respect of these Terms of Trade, or any other contract or agreement between the Customer and Polymaster Group; or
- payment for Goods previously provided to the Customer or any related corporation of the Customer or to any other party who is, in the reasonable opinion of Polymaster Group, associated with the Customer under the same or another supply contract, has not been received by Polymaster Group.
- An Order cannot be cancelled without the prior written consent of Polymaster Group. Such right of cancellation must be exercised by notice in writing from the Customer to Polymaster Group within 7 days prior to the estimated date of shipment by the manufacturer or Polymaster Group as the case may be. Unless otherwise agreed between the Customer and Polymaster Group, upon cancellation prior to shipment, any deposit paid by the Customer shall be forfeited to the manufacturer or Polymaster Group as the case may be. Where an Order is cancelled, the Customer indemnifies Polymaster Group against any Loss incurred by Polymaster Group as a result of the cancellation.
- Polymaster Group reserves the right to:
- suspend or discontinue the supply of an Order to the Customer without being obliged to give any reason; or
- make part deliveries of any Order, and each part delivery shall constitute a separate sale of Goods upon these Terms of Trade without invalidating the balance of the Order.
5. Variations
- The Customer may request that its Order be varied by providing a request in writing to Polymaster Group. A request for a variation must be agreed to in writing by Polymaster Group in order to have effect.
- If the Customer wishes to vary its requirements after a Quote has been prepared by Polymaster Group or after the placement of an Order, Polymaster Group reserves the right to vary the Quote to include any Additional Charge in respect of any extra costs incurred or additional work carried out due to the variation, acting reasonably and in accordance with its then current price lists. A revised Quote issued by Polymaster Group in respect of the requested variation supersedes the original Quote. If the revised Quote only specifies additional work, the Quote for that additional work will be in addition to the immediately preceding Quote for the Goods.
- Where Polymaster Group has agreed to provide the Goods by a specific date, Polymaster Group is provided with an automatic extension of time for the provision of the Goods equal to the delay caused by the variation.
6. Invoicing and Payment
- The amount payable by the Customer will be the amount set out in an invoice provided by Polymaster Group to the Customer. This will be calculated as:
- the amount for the Goods as set out in the Quote and any Additional Charges, or
- where no Quote has been provided, in accordance with Polymaster Group’s then current price lists for the Goods as described in the Order, or
- as otherwise agreed in writing between Polymaster Group and the Customer.
- Time for payment for the Goods, with the time for payment always being of the essence, will be payable by the Customer on Delivery of the Goods, or at Polymaster Group’s sole discretion:
- on the date specified on an invoice issued to the Customer for the Goods, being no less than five (5) Business Days after the date of the invoice;
- in accordance with a payment schedule agreed in writing between Polymaster Group and the Customer;
- on the Credit Terms established between the Customer and Polymaster Group, being within 30 days following the end of the month during which the Goods were supplied or provided; or

- Payment may be made by bank cheque, electronic/online banking, or by any other method as agreed between the Customer and Polymaster Group.
- If any invoice is due but unpaid, Polymaster Group may withhold the provision of any further Goods until overdue amounts are paid in full.
- Polymaster Group may in its complete discretion apply any payment received from the Customer to any amount owing by the Customer to Polymaster Group.
- The Customer is not entitled to retain any money owing to Polymaster Group notwithstanding any default or alleged default by Polymaster Group of these Terms of Trade, deduction, set-off, withholding or counterclaim, including (but not limited to) the supply of allegedly faulty or defective Goods, Goods of an inadequate standard or a delay in the provision of Goods. Nothing in this paragraph affects the Customer’s rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
- If the Customer fails to make payment in accordance with this clause, all amounts owing by the Customer to Polymaster Group shall immediately become due and payable. Each outstanding amount shall bear interest at the rate of 2.5% per calendar month on all overdue amounts owed by the Customer to Polymaster Group, calculated daily compounding monthly, from the day it falls due until the day it is paid.
- All costs and expenses associated with collecting overdue amounts, including (but not limited to) legal fees and internal costs and expenses of Polymaster Group, are to be paid by the Customer as a debt due and payable under these Terms of Trade.

- The Customer and Polymaster Group agree to comply with their obligations in relation to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) under the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 and any other applicable legislation governing GST.
- The Customer must pay any other taxes and duties that may be applicable in addition to the Price except where they are expressly included in the Price.
7. Additional Charges
- Polymaster Group may require the Customer to pay Additional Charges in respect of costs incurred by Polymaster Group as a result of reliance on inadequate or incorrect information or material provided by the Customer or information or material supplied later than required by Polymaster Group in order for it to provide the Goods within the specified time frame (if any).
- The imposition of Additional Charges may also occur as a result of:
- cancellation by the Customer of an Order where cancellation results in Loss to Polymaster Group;
- reasonable storage costs for Goods not able to be delivered in accordance with clause 8(b). Where the storage relates to the storage of tanks, such costs are to be the rate specified in the Polymaster Tank Storage Fees document as amended from time to time (a copy of which is available from Polymaster Group upon request);
- photocopying, courier, packing or handling charges not included in the Quote;
- Government or council taxes or charges not included in the Quote; or

8. Delivery of Goods
- Polymaster Group will, in all cases, be entitled to choose the method of transport of the Goods and may, at its discretion, subcontract delivery.
- Delivery of the Goods is taken to occur when:
- the Customer or the Customer’s nominated carrier takes possession of the Goods at Polymaster Group’s address;
- Polymaster Group (or its nominated carrier) delivering the Goods to the Customer’s nominated address even if the Customer is not present at the address; or

The Customer indemnifies Polymaster Group for any damage to property or personal injury which occurs as a result of Polymaster Group entering the Customer’s premises.
- Where Goods are supplied by Polymaster Group to the Customer without payment in full of all moneys payable in respect of the Goods, the Customer acknowledges that Polymaster Group has a right to register and perfect a personal property security interest.
