1. QUOTATION

Quotations and prices are for the period of time specifically stated in a written quotation. If no time is stated, then quotations and prices are subject to change without notice. Orders based on quotation are not binding on seller until accepted in writing by an authorised representative of Seller. If a quotation for the supply of goods is given to purchaser and Purchaser makes an order but in the meantime goods of the type ordered for any reason become unavailable, the Seller is not obliged to supply such goods and the contract hereby created in respect of such goods is at an end and neither party is required to pay compensation to the either of them.


2. PRICES AND TAXES

In any event, quotations and prices on orders accepted are subject to change at the time of and proportionately with, the increase of costs to Seller of the goods caused by the imposition or increase of any tax or duty upon the goods or any supplies or materials used in the goods. An amount equal to any tax or other governmental charge upon the production, sale, occupation of selling, shipment, storage or use of material, which is now, or may be hereafter, imposed by governmental authorities upon either Purchaser or Seller and which Seller is obligated to pay or collect, shall be added, to the extent attributable to the goods to be sold hereunder, to the price quoted herein and shall be paid by Purchaser.


3. PURCHASE ORDER

All orders are subject to confirmation and acceptance by RDM Technology Pty Ltd ("RDM").

As most of the products are designed to suit customer’s requirements, only minimal inventory and parts are stocked. Therefore, the approximate completion time will depend on the availability of parts and quantity on order.


4. CUSTOM-DESIGN

For Custom-Design products (including changes to the products owned by RDM or owned by customer) Deposit and progress payments are required and may be negotiated at the time of purchase. Documentation of the prototype will be provided after the final payment is received.


5. PAYMENT

(a) Payment for invoiced amounts must be made in full within a specified period stated on Tax Invoice or a longer period if expressly agreed by Seller. Where Purchaser has obtained a 30-day credit facility, such payment is to be made in full within thirty (30) days following the date of invoice (unless quoted for a lesser period).

(b) Where the Purchaser has failed to make payment by due date or has failed to arrange a delivery within 30 days of a Notice of Completion, the products shall be deemed abandoned by the Purchaser and such products may be disposed of or dealt with by Seller at its discretion. Any amounts previously paid for the products shall be forfeited and the Purchaser shall be liable for the balance outstanding on the order plus costs of recovering the outstanding amounts (if any). The Seller may take action to recover the outstanding amounts either from the Purchaser, or sale of the products or both until the amounts owed are fully satisfied.

(c) Where the Purchaser trades outside the agreed terms and conditions the Seller may refuse, among other things, to supply products and services to the Purchaser irrespective of whether an order has been accepted or not and will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting directly or indirectly from such action. Until payment is received in full, the property of the goods remains with the Seller and, if in the Purchaser’s possession, the Purchaser will hold the goods as Bailee and returned immediately the unused and undamaged goods upon demand. The Purchaser will indemnify the Seller against any claim or liability in the meantime.

(d) Unless specifically agreed by the Seller in writing before dispatch of goods, no deduction is to be made from payment for retention monies to guarantee performance of a contract. Any such guarantees must be arranged between the Seller and the Purchaser in a form agreed to before such dispatch of goods.


6. DELIVERY

Risk of loss of goods subject to the Agreement shall pass to Purchaser upon delivery to carrier at point of shipment whether or not freight is pre-paid by Seller. Any quoted delivery time is approximate and the extension of delivery time shall not be cause for termination of the Agreement unless such delay is unreasonable and due to the gross negligence or intentional act of Seller. If Seller tenders the goods for delivery to Purchaser, and so notifies Purchaser, Purchaser is to take delivery immediately. Seller may store goods so tendered, but not accepted for the account and risk of the Purchaser and invoice Purchaser for the purchase price of the goods.
