ALLOYFOLD TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE AGREEMENT

Pathway Engineering Limited, trading as Alloyfold NZ (Alloyfold NZ, we or us) agrees to supply goods (the Goods) and services (the Services) to you, the Customer, in return for payment of the price for those Goods and Services and according to these Terms. Acceptance of delivery or receipt of any Goods or Services will (notwithstanding any statement to the contrary by you or your employees or agents) constitute acceptance of these Terms. If there is more than one of you, the liability is joint and several.

1 Price and Payment

1.1 All prices exclude GST, any other applicable taxes and duties and insurance/freight/delivery/handling charges not expressly included in the price. You agree to pay these items (as applicable) in addition to the price, whether they are imposed before or after your order.

1.2 Unless otherwise stated, payment of a 50% deposit is required as confirmation of your order, with the balance payable in full prior to delivery of your order. If we allow you credit, payment is due on the 14th day after the date of our invoice. We can impose a credit limit on you (or refuse to allow you any credit) at any time, and alter it at our sole discretion.

1.3 Payment may be made by cheque or direct credit. Payment by credit card will attract a 3.5% surcharge. Alternatively, an irrevocable letter of credit (IRC) can be drawn up to facilitate payments if preferred. Our bank account for direct payments is ANZ Bank, Riccarton Branch 06-0821-0249276-00.

1.4 You must not withhold payment or make any deductions of any nature whether by way of set off (legal, equitable or otherwise), counterclaim or otherwise from any amount you owe us. Any default in payment shall make all money payable by you to us immediately due and we may withhold delivery of Goods and/or provision of Services until you provide payment of all money payable by you to us.

2 Delivery and Risk

2.1 Unless otherwise stated, orders will be shipped from Alloyfold NZ’s Christchurch warehouse. We can arrange a quotation for shipping through our preferred agent if you so request. Where we arrange shipping, full payment of the shipping costs is due upon or prior to shipping.

2.2 Delivery times vary with season and manufacturing commitments. We will make every reasonable effort to meet any delivery deadline you notify us of. However, delay in delivery shall not entitle you to cancel your order.

2.3 Risk in Goods passes to you on Delivery being the time the Goods are dispatched from our premises to you, whether the Goods are delivered to your address by us or uplifted from us by you or by an agent or carrier arranged by you or us.

2.4 If any Goods are damaged or destroyed before property in them passes to you, we are entitled, without prejudice to our other rights or remedies under these Terms (including without limitation the right to receive payment of any balance of the price for the Goods), to receive all insurance proceeds payable in respect of the Goods whether or not the price has become payable under these Terms. Our showing these Terms is sufficient evidence of our right to receive insurance proceeds without any person dealing with us needing to make further enquiries.

3 Security Interest

3.1 Ownership of Goods supplied to you will not pass on Delivery, but will remain with us until we receive full payment in clear funds of all amounts you owe us (whether or not relating to those Goods). We hold a Security Interest in all Goods supplied to you and any proceeds of resale of Goods for payment of all such amounts.

3.2 Until you pay all amounts due to us, you agree to act as a fiduciary of us and to:

(a) Not sell, charge or part with possession of the Goods, other than for their full value in the ordinary course of business;

(b) Not alter, obliterate, or deface the Goods and not alter, obliterate, deface, cover up, or remove any identity mark indicating that the Goods are ours.

(c) Store the Goods in such manner that they are clearly identifiable as our property and keep separate records of the Goods;

(d) Hold the proceeds of the resale of the Goods in trust for us, in a separate and identifiable manner.

3.3 At our request, you must promptly deliver, execute or do (or cause to be executed, delivered or done) any documents, agreements, deeds or other action that we may require from time to time to give effect to these Terms, including without limitation doing anything require to ensure the Security Interest created under these Terms constitutes a perfected Security Interest over the Goods. This includes, but is not limited to, providing any information we request to complete a financing statement or a financing change statement for the Personal Property Securities Register.

3.4 Where you are in default, you agree to us entering your premises or any other place where the Goods are located, or where we reasonably believe that the Goods are located, and taking possession of and selling the Goods even if we do not have priority over other persons having a Security Interest in the Goods. Sections 108 and 120(1) of the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 (PPSA) do not apply to the extent that they are inconsistent with this clause.

3.5 You waive any right to receive a verification statement under the PPSA, and agree that nothing in sections 114(1)(a), 133 and 134 of the PPSA shall apply to these Terms. Your rights as a debtor in sections 116, 120(2), 121, 125-127, 129 and 131 of the PPSA shall not apply to these Terms.

3.6 We may at any stage request such security or additional security from you as we in our sole discretion think fit and shall be entitled to withhold supply of Goods or Services or credit arrangements until such security or additional security is obtained.

3.7 We may issue proceedings to recover payment for Goods notwithstanding that ownership of the Goods may not have passed to you.
