  3. PRICES
    a) All prices quoted, unless expressly stated are ex-CMC store, Alexandria (Sydney Metropolitan Area),

    account at CMC’s option.

    necessary or expedient to purchase the Goods under this contract. The purchase price for the Goods does
    not include a reconciliation of the Goods to Australian or Zealand standards. CMC will provide to the

    agreement by the Purchaser with CMC) to assist the Purchaser to obtain such reconciliations.

    Terms of payment are net cash 30 days on approved credit accounts from the date stated in CMC’s Invoice.
    CMC reserves the right to charge interest of 1% per month if payment is not received on the due date. Unless
    otherwise agreed in writing by CMC, the purchase price for the products purchased shall be in Australian
    Dollars. An irrevocable letter of credit confirmed by an Australian Bank or Telegraphic Transfer with CMC’s
    receipt of order shall be the terms of payment for all sales outside Australia unless otherwise mutually agreed.
    If payments by the Purchaser are to be made by direct transfer to CMC’s bank account, all associated bank
    charges shall be borne by the Purchaser.
  7. PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO PAY
    In the event of non payment by the Purchaser after seven (7) calendar days of the due date, CMC or its
    agents may enter the premises where the Goods are stored by the Purchaser and re-take possession. Any
    costs associated with the repossession including legal and related expenses will be to the account of the
    Purchaser.
  8. PASSING OF PROPERTY AND RISK
    No property in any of the Goods shall pass to the Purchaser until the price has been paid in full by the
    Purchaser. The Purchaser will be responsible for proper care, insurance and storage of the Goods while in his
    possession until final payment is made, whether the Goods were supplied in partial shipments or not.
  9. DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE OF GOODS.
    Time is not of the essence in relation to the obligation of CMC to deliver the Goods to the Purchaser although
    CMC will use all reasonable endeavours to comply with the date or time fixed for delivery.
    CMC may at its option partially dispatch any Goods to the Purchaser and invoice for any part order should
    there be any delay in the remaining items of the order. Each parcel, when delivered must be accepted and
    paid for notwithstanding late delivery or non-delivery of any other parcel. If the Purchaser requests to delay in
    delivery, CMC will store the Goods and charge the Purchaser storage rates at current market value. CMC will
    have the right to invoice the full value of the Goods while being in storage. If CMC selects a carrier for delivery
    to the Purchaser, it does so on the express understanding that CMC is acting as agent for the Purchaser and
    CMC shall have no liability for delay in delivery due to causes beyond its control. The Purchaser shall not be
    entitled to repudiate or cancel the Contract by reason of late delivery. If there is an extra cost to be paid to
    maintain the original delivery time quoted, these costs shall be borne by the Purchaser. If inspection by the
    Purchaser or its agents is required at the manufacturer’s works or CMC’s premises, this must be arranged by
    the Purchaser at the Purchaser’s cost and any delays in arranging for inspection shall be added to the delivery
    time quoted. Adequate notice must be given to CMC of such inspection and agreed to by CMC in writing. Any
    inspection shall be limited only to visual inspection unless agreed in writing by CMC. In cases where approval
    drawings are required as part of the order, the delivery date quoted will be extended until after the Purchaser
    signs and gives the final drawings back to CMC so that manufacture can proceed.
    Depending on the nature of the Goods, CMC may recommend that they be shipped by air freight. If the
    Purchaser decides otherwise, CMC shall have no responsibility if the Goods arrive damaged to the Purchaser.
    The Purchaser cannot refuse to accept Goods despatched in accordance with an agreed delivery date and
    substitute a later date, except with the prior written consent of CMC. Where Goods are ordered by CMC for
    the Purchaser from overseas and received into CMC’s warehouse before the agreed delivery date, CMC may
    at its option deliver and invoice those Goods to the Purchaser earlier than the agreed delivery date, but only
    after the expiration of five (5) working days from the date of receipt by CMC.
  10. LOSS OR DAMAGE TO GOODS
    The Purchaser shall be responsible and pay for any insurance of the Goods to be supplied when they are in
    transit from CMC to the Purchaser unless otherwise agreed in writing. The Purchaser shall be responsible for
    loss and damage to the Goods from the time of dispatch from CMC’s store or other location if nominated as
    the delivery point by CMC.
    Where Goods are dispatched to the Purchaser on CMC’s account, immediate notice of any event likely to give
    rise to a claim shall be made to CMC by the Purchaser and in event of receipt of damaged Goods by the
    Purchaser in his store. Claims may only be made where transportation costs for transit from CMC to the
    Purchaser’s store are paid for by CMC. Unloading of Goods is the Purchaser’s responsibility.
  11. TERMINATION, CANCELLATION OR VARIATION.
    (a) The Purchaser may cancel its order only if CMC approves in writing, and upon immediate payment by the
    Purchaser of reasonable and appropriate cancellation charges that are determined by CMC and to the extent
    of the work done by CMC or its suppliers.
    (b) CMC reserves the right to terminate the Contract if the Purchaser becomes or in CMC’s reasonable
    opinion is likely to become insolvent.
    (c) If the Purchaser wants to make any variation to the order, the variation shall be in writing.
    (d) An order may be varied only if such variations are accepted by CMC in writing and CMC shall then adjust
    the price and delivery accordingly.
    (e) Standard stock items cannot be returned to CMC without payment of a restocking fee. The minimum fee is
    $100 for untouched items to be returned to stock. If after evaluation by CMC, Goods are not returned in their
    original condition, CMC may reject the Goods or if it is possible to rectify the Goods to their original condition,
    do so at the Purchaser’s cost and expense.
  12. WARRANTY & LIMITATION OF LIABILITY:

    installation, use, repair or replacement of the Goods supplied by CMC.
    (d) The warranty given by CMC or by CMC’s manufacturer or supplier is dependent upon the Goods being
    used in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation and operating instructions and the Purchaser
    operating under the process conditions directed by the manufacturer or CMC.
    (e) The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and keep CMC indemnified against all losses and expenses that CMC
    may suffer or may be liable for in the event of the failure of the Purchaser to comply with its obligations as to

    (f) In the event of any inconsistency between these provisions and any State or Federal legislation including
    the provisions of the Trade Practices Act, such State or Federal legislation and the Trade Practices Act shall

    specification of materials in the equipment will be used to fulfil the Purchaser’s order. No warranty is given by
    CMC or its manufacturer that the materials used in the manufacture of the equipment are suitable for the
    Purchaser’s process conditions and it is the responsibility of the Purchaser to confirm compatibility of those
    materials with the Purchaser’s process conditions.
  13. INSURANCE

    provision contained in Clause 15. CMC has in place public and product liability insurance and a copy of CMC’s
    insurance policy wording and a Certificate of Currency is available to the Purchaser free of charge upon
    request. If a Purchaser requests CMC to endorse the name of the Purchaser on its insurance policy, the
