1. Purpose
The purpose of this document is to record the general terms and conditions of our relationship, for selling Product to you. Where a word or phrase appears in this document commencing in uppercase (e.g “Products”) that signifies that this is a defined term and its intended meaning is recorded in the Definitions and Interpretation section (clause 14). This is to ensure certainty of meaning whenever that word or phrase appears.
2. What We Are Selling
2.1. We will sell the Products to you on the basis of the terms and conditions recorded below. This includes hardware and operating software, in accordance with the Schedule.
2.2. We may also agree to provide Services.
3. Price and Payment Terms
3.1. The Purchase Price for the Product is set out in the Schedule. Unless otherwise stated the Purchase Price excludes GST, which must be paid in addition.
3.2. The Purchase Price, and any GST must be paid in full (without deduction or set off) on the date of delivery, or as otherwise specified in the Schedule.
3.3. If any payment is not made by you on due date then, in addition to any other rights we have, you agree that if we demand payment of Penalty Interest you will immediately pay that also (at the rate prescribed in the Schedule).
3.4. You will also pay us (on a full indemnity basis) any costs we incur to enforce our rights if you do not meet any obligation.
3.5. If you default in payment of the Purchase Price prior to delivery we may, by notice to you, cancel this Agreement and forfeit any deposit or pre-payments made (on account of our costs and losses from your failure), and we will then have no further obligations to you.
4. Risk and Title/Security Interest
4.1. Risk in the Product passes to you as soon as it is delivered. You will need to arrange insurance cover as from the time and date of delivery.
4.2. Title in the Product will not pass to you until you have fully paid us all amounts owing to us under this Agreement
4.3. To protect our interest as unpaid seller of the Product you grant us a “purchase money security interest” over all the Product (as this term is defined in the Personal Property Securities Act 1999). We are entitled to all rights of a secured party under that Act. You will (at our cost) sign and do all things we need to register our security interest on the Personal Property Securities Register (which is defined in that Act). We are entitled to enter any premises where we believe Product is located to inspect and/or retake possession of it.
5. Hardware
The Product we supply is EFTPOS and point of sale Product described in product catalogues which we publish from time. We will ensure that all Product supplied to you meets our advertised standards and functionality. We may change Products from time to time and we cannot guarantee that at any time you make an order an advertised Product will be available for immediate delivery but we will do our best to meet your order.
6. Software
The Product runs on Operating Software, the terms of use for which are recorded in a Software Licence. A copy of the Software Licence current at the date of this Agreement and attached as “Annexure B”. It is essential that all users of the Product understand that failure to comply with the terms of the Software Licence entitles us to Deactivate the Operating Software (either temporarily or permanently depending on the nature of the breach). If we do this the Product will not function. To ensure ongoing compliance requirements are met and to keep up with technological updates, we need to upgrade Operating Software from time to time. To meet the costs of our doing so there is, unless set out in the Schedule, under the Software Licence a monthly service fee levied against any item of Product sold. You must ensure that any users of the Product sold to you are aware of the terms of the Software Licence (including in particular the possibility we may Deactivate the Product) and you must not on sell the Product without disclosing these terms to the purchaser (and requiring them only to on sell on the same basis). You will indemnify us for any liability or losses or costs we suffer or incur on any occasion that we exercise this right.
7. Support Services
Together with the supply of Product we may agree to provide additional Services to support them (in addition to Operating Software upgrades). A description of Services we have agreed to provide is set out in the Schedule. The cost of these Services may be additional to the Purchase Price or the monthly service fee unless set out in the Schedule.
8. Repairs
If we agree to carry out repairs on Products supplied (not being a repair by manufacturer under warranty), we may do so at a cost to be agreed once we have been able to assess the work required. The cost of repair must be paid for on agreed trading terms, or if we do not grant credit for the cost then payment must be made in exchange for delivery. We will have a “lien” over the equipment repaired in accordance with the Wages Protection and Contractors Liens Repeal Act. This means that we can hold the Product concerned until the repair cost is paid and if it is not paid within 2 months it may be sold by us to cover our costs.
9. Warranties/Faulty Product
9.1. We warrant that the Product will function in the manner we have agreed with you. Attached as “Annexure C” is our standard Hardware Warranty which provides a further warranty. These are the only warranties we give. As we are not providing any other warranties you must ensure that the Product meets your needs. If any Product sold to you is faulty, we will repair or replace the Product with the same or an equivalent solution.
9.2. For the avoidance of doubt, to the fullest extent permitted we do not give any warranties or guarantees implied by law, including those under the Sale of Goods Act 1908, the Fair-Trading Act 1986 or the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993. If you on sell the Product you must include these exclusions in your on sale agreement (to the extent that implied warranties affect us) and you will indemnify us if you fail to do so.
10. Intellectual Property Rights
Intellectual Property Rights owned by a manufacturer software supplier, or by us, do not transfer to you when we sell Product to you. If you become aware of any third-party misuse of Intellectual Property Rights you will advise us so that we can attempt to protect them.
11. Force Majeure
If a Force Majeure event prevents or restricts us from meeting any commitments under this Agreement then we are excused from that commitment, but we must otherwise meet our agreed obligations.
12. Severability/Modification
If any wording, term or condition of this Agreement is found by a court of law to be illegal or unenforceable then that wording, term or condition will be disregarded, or modified, to the extent required to ensure that this Agreement is otherwise fully enforceable as it is intended to be.
