  1. APPLICATION OF THE CONDITIONS
    1. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Conditions (and the application completed by the Customer, together with any guarantee/s) will apply exclusively to every contract for the sale of goods by the Supplier to the Customer and cannot be varied or supplanted by any other conditions without the prior written consent of the Supplier.
    2. Any written quotation provided by the Supplier to the Customer concerning the proposed supply of goods is valid for 30 days, unless otherwise stated in the quotation, and is an invitation only to the Customer to place an order based upon that quotation. The quotation may include additional terms which are not inconsistent with the Conditions.

  1. CONTRACTS AND QUOTES     
    1. The contract between the Customer and the Supplier is constituted by: 
  1. the Conditions; 
  2. the terms of any credit agreement between the Customer and the Supplier (“Credit Terms”); and 
  3. the extent to which the Supplier accepts an order. 

(Collectively, the Contract)

  1. The Conditions, the Credit Terms and the extent to which the Supplier accepts the order govern all contracts for the supply of goods and/or services by the Supplier to the Customer and constitute the entire agreement in connection with the supply of goods and/or services between the Supplier and the Customer. All prior representations, trade custom or previous dealings between the Supplier and the Customer are excluded and are not applicable in the interpretation of the Contract. No modification or variation to the Conditions or the Credit Terms, any additional terms or conditions or any terms inconsistent with the Conditions or the Credit Terms provided by the Customer (whether put forward in the order, the Customer’s specification or otherwise) will bind the Supplier, unless expressly and specifically agreed to in writing by the Supplier. The Conditions and the Credit Terms supersede any terms and conditions which have previously governed a contract for the sale of goods or services by the Supplier to the Customer. The Conditions and Credit Terms will prevail to the extent of any inconsistency between them and any quotation, order or other documents from the Customer. The Conditions and Credit Terms bind the Customer even if the Supplier or the Customer does not sign them promptly or at all.
  2. A quotation will not constitute an offer to sell goods or services to the Customer. No contract for the supply of goods or services will exist between the Supplier and the Customer until a Customer’s order for goods or services has been accepted by the Supplier (such acceptance of the Customer’s orders may be made and communicated by the Supplier in writing or by overt act of acceptance and acceptance may be made without notification to the Customer). If only part of an order is accepted, the Supplier will notify the Customer of this. The Customer is deemed to have agreed to only part of the order being accepted unless written notice is received by the Supplier that the Customer wishes to cancel the whole order within 1 business day of the date of issue of the Supplier’s notice. The Customer will be under no obligation to place an order with the Supplier. The Supplier may accept or refuse any order for goods or services in its absolute discretion and may make its acceptance of an order conditional upon it receiving a satisfactory credit assessment of the Customer. 
  3. The Customer is liable for all purchases made under its account number and/or account name. It is not the responsibility of the Supplier to confirm authority for the purposes of supplying goods or services to the Customer, its agent(s) or those who the Supplier deems to be its agents. It is the sole responsibility of the Customer to ensure there is no unauthorised use of their account number or name. Any person purporting to act on behalf of the account holder represents to the Supplier that they are duly authorised to be the Customer’s agent and/or representative. 
  4. In the event that the Customer supplies incorrect payment and delivery details, the Supplier will take reasonable steps to contact the Customer using the personal details that the Customer has provided. In the event that the Customer has supplied incorrect contact details, the Supplier does not accept responsibility for the inability to fulfil the Customer’s  order, or for not being able to advise the Customer that this is the case. 
  5. The Supplier may vary the Conditions or Credit Terms by notice in writing to the Customer. If the Contract is a Consumer Contract or a Small Business Contract, then the Customer may consider the variation and, if not acceptable, may elect not to proceed with the purchase of the goods or services ordered before the date of the variation but which are intended to be subject to the variation. If the Contract is not a Consumer Contract or a Small Business Contract, the Customer agrees that goods delivered, and services performed and/or ordered after the date of the notice of the variation will be subject to the variation and acceptance of the goods or services or the placing of the order will be deemed to be an acceptance of such varied terms and conditions.
  6. Should there be any variation to any of the information supplied by the Customer to the Supplier in any credit application or there has been a change of control of the Customer or in the structure or nature of the Customer’s business (such as a conversion to or from a company or trust) the Customer will notify the Supplier in writing within 28 days of the variation occurring. 
  7. The Conditions and all obligations under any Contract will be binding on the Customer’s personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns and will be for the benefit of the Supplier’s successors and assigns. 
  1. PRICING/PAYMENT 
    1. A minimum value of $10.00 AUD applies to all of the Supplier’s internet orders.
    2. Subject to these Conditions, the amount payable for goods and services will be the agreed price at the time of acceptance of the Customer’s order by the Supplier. The price is exclusive of any freight charges, payment surcharges, customs duty and GST or similar taxes, which the Customer will pay in addition to the price at the same time and in the same manner as the price. 
    3. Except where expressly agreed otherwise, at any time prior to delivery, the Supplier may, upon giving the Customer not less than 5 days prior written notice (which the Customer agrees may be given by electronic direct mail), vary the prices specified on the Supplier’s quotation, order confirmation or invoice (as applicable) to reflect the Supplier’s new updated prices. The Customer may consider such price variation and, if it is not acceptable, may elect by written notice to the Supplier within 5 days of receipt of the written notice of the variation, not to proceed with the purchase of the goods and/or services affected by the price variation. If no such written notice is received by the Supplier during the relevant 5 days, the Customer is deemed to accept the relevant price variation(s). The Supplier may at its discretion pause or suspend orders impacted by price variation under this clause until the Supplier has received confirmation from the Customer that the price variation is accepted by the Customer or the requisite 5 days have passed. The Supplier shall not be liable to the Customer for any delays such pause or suspension may have on the Customer.
    4. Any variations in the invoice or contract price as a consequence of currency fluctuations, taxes, customs duty or other imposts will be to the Customer’s account. Any such price change will only be applicable to Customer orders not yet accepted by the Supplier, provided the Customer is given 5 days prior notice of the price change.
    5. The Customer must not assert any right of set off against the Supplier and will pay all amounts owing to the Supplier without deduction.
    6. Where credit is extended to the Customer, all account invoices and statements will be submitted by the Supplier electronically (“E-invoice”) to the Customer via the Customer’s nominated email address. 
    7. The Supplier will not, generally, send a paper copy of the invoice or statement unless the Customer requests it. The Customer can obtain a paper copy of the invoice or statement by sending a written request to the Supplier. The Customer acknowledges that the Supplier will charge a $5 service fee for the delivery of paper copies of invoices or statements (“Service Fee”) and agrees to pay such fee on demand. The Supplier may vary the Service Fee to reflect changes in administration costs from time to time by written notice to the Customer.
    8. Where the Supplier submits an E-invoice to the Customer’s nominated email address, the E-invoice will be deemed to have been received by the Customer on the date it was sent unless the Supplier receives a notification that the email did not reach its intended recipient and the records of the Supplier will be conclusive in this regard.
    9. It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that the contact information provided to the Supplier is current and accurate including the Customer’s nominated email address, which the Supplier will use to submit the E-invoice. The Customer agrees to promptly notify the Supplier of any changes to the Customer’s contact information.
    10. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Supplier, payment for goods can be made via the Supplier’s secure checkout pages on their website using Visa, MasterCard or PayPal. Card charges will appear on statements as “Factory Sound Sales P/L”. 
    11. Any credit card payment will be processed at the time of order placement. In the event of any supply issues, the payment method will be refunded as swiftly as possible. The Customer acknowledges that it may take a day or two for the refund to show as cleared funds in the Customer’s account, depending on the payment provider. 
    12. In cases where part of an order cannot be immediately fulfilled, the Supplier will dispatch the available items as soon as possible. If any part of the Customer’s order cannot be fulfilled at all, the Supplier will promptly notify the Customer  via email or telephone details provided by the Customer. All products with a limited sales period displayed in the Supplier’s online shop will have the end date clearly shown.
    13. In the event that a product does not have a specified sales period and becomes unavailable due to unexpected or high demand, and that item is ordered by the Customer before the Supplier has withdrawn that item from the Supplier’s online shop, the Supplier will not be held responsible for any inability to complete that order. The Supplier will, however, assist the Customer in finding suitable alternatives or processing a refund under Australian Consumer Law.
    14. Items marked as ‘special order items’ will be ordered especially for the Customer. Once the order has been placed with the Supplier’s relevant supplier, the Customer’s order cannot be cancelled, nor can any refund be made for change your mind. 
    15. If a supplier invoice is provided, payment for goods must be made within the number of days or date specified on the invoice.
    16. The Supplier may withdraw any credit terms or require the provision of security at any time in its sole and absolute discretion without the requirement to give reasons or act in good faith.

      4. any cheque the Customer provides to the Supplier or any Factory Sound Member is dishonoured for payment; 
      5. the Customer fails to comply with any demand for payment issued by the Supplier or any Factory Sound Member for an amount which is overdue under the Contract; or
      6. the Customer materially breaches any of the Conditions and/or any other agreement between the Supplier or any other Factory Sound Member and the Customer. 
    9. The Customer expressly and irrevocably agrees that, until such time as title in the goods passes to the Customer, the Supplier may require the Customer to return the goods to it on demand and is entitled to enter any premises where the goods supplied by the Supplier are located to repossess, remove and sell such goods. The Customer (its successors and assigns, including any external manager or administrator) will not object to the Supplier, or its agents, entering any premises for the purpose of this clause and agrees to indemnify and keep the Supplier indemnified in respect of any claims, actions and costs that may arise against the Supplier in relation to the removal, repossession and sale of the goods pursuant to the Conditions including any claims brought by third parties.
    10. The Customer agrees that repossession and retention of the goods pursuant to the PPSA will only satisfy so much of the monies which may become payable to the Supplier by the Customer as is equivalent to the Supplier’s estimation of the market value of the goods as it is at the date of repossession and the repossession and retention will immediately extinguish any rights for interest the Supplier has on the value of the goods recovered. 
    11. Until ownership of the goods passes, the Customer must not give the Supplier a written demand or allow any other person to give the Supplier a written demand requiring the Supplier to register a financing change statement under the PPSA or enter into or allow any other person to enter into the personal property securities register a financing change statement under the PPSA. 
    12. The Customer agrees not to change the Customer name or undertake any changes to any documents that the Supplier has registered, requires to be registered or are capable of being registered without the prior written consent of the Supplier. 
  1. WARRANTY
    1. All goods supplied shall be free from defect in materials and workmanship for a period specified by the Supplier, from the date of delivery.  The warranty does not apply in circumstances where:
      1. the goods are not defective;
      2. the goods were used for a purpose other than for which they were intended;
      3. the goods were repaired, modified or altered by any person unauthorised by the Supplier;
      4. the defect has arisen due to misuse, neglect or accident;
      5. the defect has arisen due to the incorrect installation of the goods; 
      6. the defect has arisen due to normal wear and tear of the goods;
      7. the goods have not been stored or maintained as recommended by the Supplier; or
      8. the Customer is in breach of the Conditions.
  1. LIABILITY

16.1 The Supplier will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Customer where the Supplier has failed to meet any delivery date or cancels or suspends the supply of goods.

  1. FORCE MAJURE EVENT 
  1. A party is not liable for any failure to observe its obligations under this Contract where such failure is wholly or substantially due to a Force Majeure Event provided that the party seeking to rely on the benefit of this clause:
    1. as soon as reasonably practicable, notifies the other party of the extent to which it is unable to perform its obligations; and 
    2. uses its best endeavours to mitigate the adverse effects of the Force Majeure Event and perform its obligations under this Contract as quickly as possible. 
  2. Where the Force Majeure Event prevents a party from performing a material obligation under this Contract for a period in excess of 60 days, then the other party may by written notice terminate this Contract and/or any purchase order, which will be effective immediately, unless otherwise stated in the notice.
  3. GST
    1. Any expression used in this clause which is defined in the “A New Tax System, (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999” has the same meaning in this clause 18.
    2. With the exception of any amount payable under this clause 18, unless otherwise expressly stated, all amounts stated to be payable by the Customer under any Contract are exclusive of GST. The Supplier will issue a compliant tax invoice with any order. 
    3. If GST is imposed on any supply made under or in accordance with any Contract, the recipient of the taxable supply must pay to the Supplier an additional amount equal to the GST payable on or for the taxable supply. Payment of the additional amount will be made at the same time as payment for the taxable supply is required to be made in accordance with the Contract, subject to the provision of a tax invoice by the supplier to the recipient.
  1. INDEMNITY
  1. If the Customer defaults in the performance or observance of its obligations under any Contract of which these Conditions form part, then:
    1. the Supplier will give the Customer notice of such default and request that the Customer remedies any breach within the time stipulated in these Conditions or, if no time is stipulated, a reasonable time; and 
    2. if that breach is not remedied within the time stipulated in the notice, then the Customer will indemnify the Supplier in respect of loss, damage, costs (including collection costs, bank dishonour fees, and legal costs on an indemnity basis) that the Supplier has suffered arising therefrom. 
  2. The Customer’s liability to indemnify the Supplier under a provision of the Contract (including these Conditions) will be reduced proportionally to the extent that any fraud, negligence, or wilful misconduct by the Supplier or a breach of the Supplier’s obligations under the Contract or the Supplier’s breach of Law has contributed to the claim, loss, damage, or cost which is the subject of the indemnity. 
  3. Each indemnity in a Contract is a continuing obligation separate and independent from the Customer’s other obligations and survives the termination or performance of any Contract of which these Conditions form part. 
  4. For each indemnity in a Contract, the Supplier will take steps to mitigate its loss and damage and act reasonably in relation to the applicable default by the Customer.
  5. To the extent permitted by law, neither the Customer or Supplier are liable to the other for:
    1. any loss, cost, damage or expense to the extent that it is for indirect, special, economic or consequential loss, where consequential loss means any loss, cost, damage or expense beyond the normal measure and beyond that which every plaintiff in a like situation would suffer; and 
    2. any loss of revenue, business or profits of any nature whatsoever, loss of expected savings, loss of chance or business opportunity, business interruption, loss or reduction of goodwill or damage to reputation or any loss of value of intellectual property.  
  1. SEVERANCE

20.1 In the event that the whole or any part or parts of any provisions in any Contract should be held to be void or unenforceable in whole or in part, such provision or part thereof will to that extent be severed from that Contract but the validity and enforceability of the remainder of that Contract will not be affected. 

  1. GENERAL 
    1. The Supplier may waive any right or remedy it has under the Contract at any time and will notify the Customer in writing of any waiver. 
    2. The failure of the Supplier to exercise a right or remedy, or any delay by the Supplier in exercising a right or remedy, or the exercise by the Supplier of only part of a right or remedy, or the granting of any indulgence by the Supplier in favour of the Customer does not:
      1. affect the Supplier’s rights against the Customer;
      2. constitute a waiver of any term or condition; or
      3. prohibit the Supplier from exercising that right or remedy in relation to that breach or any other breach.
    3. A waiver of a breach of a term or condition does not constitute a waiver of another breach of the same term or any other term. 
    4. The Customer must not do, permit or procure anything which does or may damage or harm the Supplier’s reputation, goodwill, and brand positioning, or which does or may bring the Supplier into disrepute. If the Contract is a Consumer Contract or Small Business Contract, then the Supplier must not do, permit or procure anything which does or may damage or harm the Customer’s reputation, goodwill, and brand positioning, or which does or may bring the Customer into disrepute. 
  1. NON-DISPARAGEMENT  

22.1 The Customer must not do, permit or procure anything which does or may damage or harm the Supplier’s reputation, goodwill, and brand positioning, or which does or may bring the Supplier into disrepute. If the Contract is a Consumer Contract or Small Business Contract, then the Supplier must not do, permit or procure anything which does or may damage or harm the Customer’s reputation, goodwill, and brand positioning, or which does or may bring the Customer into disrepute.
