3.3 You may not change or cancel an order for Goods unless we agree to this in writing. As a condition of agreeing to an order change or cancellation, we may require you to reimburse us for any reasonable costs we incur in connection with that change or cancellation.

4. Price

4.1 Our prices are subject to change without notice. The price you must pay for the Goods is:

a) The price agreed between you and us (by your acceptance of our quotation or otherwise) when the order was made; or

b) Where a price was not agreed when the order was made, our current price for the Goods at the date the Goods are delivered to you.

4.2 Despite clause 4.1(a), we may increase any agreed price for Goods by the amount of any increase in our cost, which is beyond our reasonable control, between the date the price was agreed and the date the Goods are delivered to you.

4.3 Unless otherwise agreed in writing with you, all of our prices are exclusive of:

a) Packaging fees, cutting fees and any other additional fees or charges imposed by our suppliers in respect of the Goods;

b) Delivery charges; and

c) Goods and Services Tax and other government duties, levies or taxes in respect of the Goods. These will be charged to you at the rates applying at the time of delivery and must be paid by you in addition to the price for the Goods.

5. Payment

5.1 We do not offer any credit. You must pay the full price of the Goods, as well as any other amounts payable under clause 4.3, before delivery.

5.2 Payment can be made by cheque, electronic funds transfer, or any other method agreed between you and us. If we agree to accept payment by credit card, we may charge a processing fee of up to 3% of the transaction value. Your payment is not considered complete until the funds have fully cleared through the banking system and have been deposited into our bank account.

5.3 Without our written consent, you may not deduct or withhold any amount (by way of set-off, counterclaim, or otherwise) from any amounts owed to us.

5.5 We may choose how to allocate any payments you make to us towards settling any invoice or amount you owe.

6. Risk and Delivery

6.1 The risk of damage to or loss of the Goods passes to you upon delivery. From that point on, you are responsible for the risk of damage to or loss of the Goods (and any insurance to cover this risk).

6.2 Delivery of the Goods takes place at the earlier of the following:

a) You, or your agent, collect the Goods from our designated pickup address; or

b) The Goods arrive at your nominated delivery address via our company’s delivery vehicle or a third-party carrier (before unloading, for which you are responsible).

6.3 However, if you fail or refuse to accept delivery as arranged by us, the Goods are considered delivered when we were ready to deliver them.

6.4 Unless you request a specific delivery method and we agree, we will select the method of delivery. If a third-party carrier is used, you must ensure that you have received all the Goods (matching the carrier’s delivery note) before acknowledging receipt. If there is a shortage or visible damage to the outer packaging, you must note this on the carrier’s delivery document and notify us as soon as possible.

6.5 If we provide or agree on a delivery date with you, it is an estimate given in good faith and does not constitute a binding commitment on our part. We will endeavor to deliver the Goods by the specified or agreed date, or otherwise in a timely manner, but we are not liable to you for failure to do so, and such failure does not entitle you to cancel the order.

6.6 We may choose to deliver your order in installments. Each installment is treated as a separate contract subject to these Terms.

7. Incorrect delivery, shortages or delivery damage

7.1 You must inspect the Goods as soon as reasonably possible aer delivery and any claim you have regarding delivery of incorrect Goods, shortage in the quantity of Goods delivered or delivery of damaged Goods must be made in writing to us within five days aer delivery. You must give us a reasonable opportunity to investigate the claim. If you do not make your claim within this time limit, the Goods will be considered to have been delivered in full in accordance with the order and free from damage.

7.2 Where we are responsible for delivery of incorrect Goods, shortage in the quantity of Goods delivered or delivery of damaged Goods to you, our liability to you is limited to us either (at our choice)

a) supplying the correct Goods, making up the shortage or repairing or replacing the damaged Goods (as applicable) or

If the Goods are not usual stock items or were cut to length or otherwise modified for you, then it is unlikely we will be able to agree to them being returned.

a) Delivery charges will not be credited or refunded; and

b) We may charge you a reasonable restocking fee.
