    • 2.2 Unless expressly included in the purchase price, Goods and Services Tax, GST, and any other government levies or taxes in respect of the goods or services taxes are the responsibility of the Customer. Where the payment of such taxes or duties is the Supplier’s responsibility, the purchase price shall be increased by the amount of such taxes or duties. Where the purchase price expressly includes any taxes or duties, any increase in the amount of such taxes or duties between the date of the contract and the date of delivery of the Goods shall be the responsibility of the Customer and the purchase price shall be increased accordingly. The Customer is bound to pay the Supplier the price once the Supplier accepts the Customer’s order.
  • 3. Quotations
    Where these terms and conditions of sale form part of a written quotation, the quotation is open for acceptance for thirty (30) days from the date thereof but may be withdrawn by the Supplier at any time before acceptance. The Customer will give written notice of the acceptance of any quotation. A quotation does not give rise to a binding contract until the Customer places an order which the Supplier subsequently accepts.
  • 4. Orders, Delivery & Risk
    • 4.1 The Supplier’s standard terms and conditions shall apply to all invoices. By placing an order on the Supplier the Customer endorses these terms and conditions. The Supplier’s terms and conditions override those of the Customer. The Supplier remains the sole arbiter to the terms of the sale. Acceptance of an order by Simpower Ltd in no way contracts acceptance of any terms and conditions implied by the Customer on their purchase order.
    • 4.2 The Supplier reserves the right at any time after receipt of the Customer’s order to accept or decline the order for any reason. The Supplier also reserves the right at any time after receipt of the Customer’s order, without prior notice to the Customer, to supply less than the quantity the Customer has ordered of any item.

Except where otherwise agreed, all freight charges shall be at the Customer’s cost. The Supplier will make every effort to ensure delivery of Goods, is on time, but will not be liable to the Customer for any loss or damage arising in any way from any delay in delivery or performance. Delay in delivery or performance does not entitle the Customer to cancel any order. Where the Customer asks the Supplier to deliver goods directly to another person, that person takes possession of the goods for the Customer as the Customers agent, the Customer is still directly responsible to the Supplier under these terms of trade.
    • 4.5 Goods are ex works Auckland, New Zealand, unless prior alternative arrangements have been made with and approved by the Supplier.

In the event of such delay continuing beyond a reasonable time, the Supplier may terminate the contract without prejudice to any other right or remedy.

    • 4.8 The Goods shall remain the property of the Supplier and title shall not pass to the Customer until such Goods have been paid for in full. If the Customer uses or sells the Goods to a third party before payment in full is made then the Customer acts as an agent in such sake and shall receive and hold the proceeds of sale as fiduciary for the Supplier to the extent of the indebtedness. If the Goods are intermingled with other Goods in such a manner that they become an integral part of any other object then such object shall be deemed to become the property of the Supplier until the purchase price has been paid to the Supplier. Until payment of the purchase price in full to the Supplier, the Supplier shall be entitled to enter onto the Customer’s premises or any other premises where the Goods are stored or thought to be stored to inspect and/or repossess the Goods. The Customer shall be responsible for any loss, damage or deterioration of the Goods due to any cause whatsoever from the date of delivery and in particular the Supplier will not be responsible for any loss or damage in transit where the Supplier has agreed to deliver the Goods to the Customer.

An order is a contract (within the terms set out by the Supplier) between the Customer and the Supplier be it verbal or by other means. A contract and its obligations can be enforced by the courts. Order requirements such as the customer’s need to raise an official purchase order or orders placed without the appropriate signature as required by the buyer are the customer’s responsibility.
