7. No returns or cancellations will be accepted without prior written agreement from us, which we may provide or
withhold in our discretion (including imposing conditions); and

supply Goods to you under a CSTK Arrangement.

and the number of Goods counted (Goods Usage). Any Goods that are damaged will be deemed used
and must be included in the Goods Usage calculation.

within 30 days from the date of invoice.

which our Goods are suitable, we sell our Goods for use only as specified for that purpose. We are not liable for
any loss or damage caused by persons seeking to fit unsuitable Goods. Variations in specifications

obtain Goods from different sources, at our absolute discretion. We may do that without telling you provided
we have reasonable grounds for believing that the alternate Good offered is substantially similar to that
previously offered or represents an improvement.
Warranties against defects
50. If we are the manufacturer (or importer into Australia) of a Good we may provide a warranty against defects
document with the Good, in which case, the terms of that document apply to the exclusion of clauses 50 to 59
(inclusive) of these conditions.
51. However, if a Good is not accompanied with its own warranty against defects document, then the warranty
against defects terms contained in clauses 50 to 59 (inclusive) of these conditions apply. 52. Our Goods come
with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement
or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are
also entitled to have the Goods repaired or replaced if the Goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure
does not amount to a major failure.
53. We warrant new Goods to be free from defects in material or workmanship for 12 months from date of
supply to you (Warranty Period).
54. During the Warranty Period and as our sole liability to you under this warranty against defects, we agree, at
our option, to either repair or replace Goods which we are satisfied are defective.
55. Our warranty against defects does not cover any damage to the Goods caused by: (a) the use of any parts or
consumables other than the same manufacturer’s parts and consumables; and/or (b) the installation or
service/maintenance by a third party other than suppliers of those services approved
by that manufacturer or its authorised representatives or other qualified personnel; and/or
(c) normal wear and tear.
56. Goods presented for repair may be replaced by refurbished goods of the same type rather than being
repaired. Refurbished parts may be used to repair the goods.
57. Subject to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, we do not warrant that used or reconditioned
parts or products are free from any defects in material or workmanship.
58. To make a warranty claim you must, at your cost, return the Goods freight prepaid to the branch where you
bought the Goods , or our premises located at Unit 33, 6 Abbott Road ,Seven Hills , NSW , 2147 , for our
inspection and, if approved, processing under warranty.

warranty against defects, that warranty must comply with the requirements prescribed by the Competition
and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (CCA) or other legislation.

to abide by the terms of all such licences. You may return your purchase within 7 days of delivery if you do

62. Terms, conditions, warranties and guarantees implied by law, including the Australian Consumer Law, that
cannot be excluded, restricted or modified apply to these conditions to the extent required by that law. 63. We

activities covered by these conditions.

(b) repair of the Goods; or
(c) payment of the cost of replacing the Goods or of acquiring equivalent goods; or payment of the cost of
having the Goods repaired.
Other damages claims excluded

conditions “damage” includes direct and indirect or consequential costs, losses, expenses, lost profits, lost
savings and claims made by any third party.
Unexpected delay
66. We are not responsible for delay caused by something outside our reasonable control which makes
performance in the usual way impractical. Without limiting those general words, that applies where we have
problems due to accidents, strikes, transport difficulties or stock shortages.
Estimated delivery times
67. Delivery times are estimates only and we are not liable for delays in delivery.
Certificate of debt
68. Statements of account we send in the ordinary course of business by ordinary post to your last known address
are prima facie evidence of the amounts you owe us. You are bound by any certificate signed by any of our

is an error obvious on the face of the certificates.Variation of these conditions
