2. General

a. The Terms and each Invoice constitute the entire agreement (“Contract”) in relation to the Seller’s supply of Assets to Customer under that Invoice and supersede all prior understandings, arrangements and agreements between Seller and Customer.

c. Purchase Orders are subject to acceptance by Seller in writing and no Contract between Seller and Customer comes into existence until Seller has accepted a Purchase Order by way of issuing an Invoice to Customer.
d. Seller may revise or amend the Terms (“Revised Terms”) at any time and by any of the following: giving Customer notice by mail or e-mail; or by posting Revised Terms on Seller’s public website. By continuing to place Purchase Orders, Customer agrees that any and all resulting Contracts will be governed by the Revised Terms.
e. Except where otherwise stated on an Invoice, Assets are sold in “used” condition, and are in Industry Trading’s opinion are “R2: Ready for Resale”.

3. Purchase price

b. Delivery Date is an estimate only and Seller will not be liable for any loss, damage or delay suffered or incurred by Customer or any other party arising from delivery of Assets after Delivery Date or non-delivery of the Assets.

5. No other representation or warranty

a. Other than the 30-Day Warranty contained in clause 5(e), Seller makes no representation or warranty in relation to, without limitation, the design or condition of the Assets, their merchantability or fitness, capacity or durability for any particular purpose, quality of the material or workmanship, non-infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual property.
b. Customer agrees and acknowledges that where the Assets are second hand and/or used, that Customer purchases the Assets “as is” subject to all faults and defects and that Customer shall have no recourse of any kind against Seller in relation to any faults or defects in the Assets (including under subclause 2(e) of the Terms which is given without warranty).
c. Customer agrees and acknowledges that Seller has entered into this agreement in reliance on this clause 5 and hereby waives, releases and discharges Seller from any claim, action, loss, damage, cost or expense whatsoever in connection with the Assets and shall indemnify Seller against the same including as may be implied by any law.
d. This clause 5 shall survive termination of Contract and any transaction contemplated by Contract. Seller shall not be liable to Customer for indirect, special, consequential or incidental damages or any loss of profits of any nature arising in connection with Contract or any transaction contemplated by Contract.
e. Seller warrants to Customer that the Assets supplied to Customer match in quantity and condition the Assets described by Seller under the Contract (“30-Day Warranty”). Customer has the period of thirty (30) days (“30-Day Period”) from the date risk in the Assets passes to Customer (as such risk is provided for in clause 7) to raise any issues with the quantity and/or condition of the Assets supplied (“Asset Issues”). Should Customer not raise any Asset Issues during the 30-Day Period, Customer is deemed to have confirmed to Seller that no Asset Issues exist. Where Asset Issues are raised during the 30-Day Period, Customer will promptly comply with any requests made by Seller for further information regarding the Assets and/or Asset Issues and/or provide Seller (including Seller’s agents) with access to the Assets. Seller will then make a final determination as to the merits of the Asset Issues and whether Seller should:

i. Replace any Assets (“Replacement”);
ii. Refund the Purchase Price (or part thereof) paid by Customer under Contract to account for Asset Issues (“Refund”); and/or
iii. Accept return of the Assets and refund the Customer for the Purchase Price of the Assets (or part thereof) paid by Customer under the Contract (“Return”)
(separately or together, a “Credit”).

In the event that Seller makes any determination under subclause 5(e)(i) then Customer shall within 24 hours of being directed to so do by Seller:

iv. arrange for the Assets to be returned to Seller at a location advised by Seller at Customer’s expense (and execute such dispatch); or
v. make the Assets available for collection by Seller, and transfer monies to Seller immediately on demand (and in advance of collection) for the cost of that collection; and
vi. arrange for replacement Assets as advised by Seller to be collected from Seller at a location advised by Seller at Customer’s expense.

No replacement of Assets under subclause 5(e)(i) shall be effected by Seller until Seller has taken possession of the Assets being replaced, whether by operation of subclause 5(e)(iv) or (v) (as the case may be).
In the event that Seller makes any determination under subclause 5(e)(iii) then Customer shall within 24 hours of being directed to so do by Seller:

vii. arrange for the Assets to be returned to Seller at a location advised by Seller at Customer’s expense (and execute such dispatch); or
viii. make the Assets available for collection by Seller, and transfer monies to Seller immediately on demand (and in advance of collection) for the cost of that collection.

No reimbursement of the Purchase Price of Assets under subclause 5(e)(iii) shall be effected by Seller until Seller has taken possession of the Assets being replaced, whether by operation of subclause 5(e)(vii) or (viii) (as the case may be). Should Customer not (as each applies by operation of these Terms):

ix. fulfil any of its obligations under subclauses 5(e)(iv), (v), (vi) (vii) or (viii); or
x. put Assets into Seller’s possession under 5(e)(iv) or (vii) within 28 days of dispatch;

then any rights of the Customer given under this clause 5(e) shall immediately be deemed cancelled, null, void and revoked. Customer must do all things necessary to allow Seller to effect Replacement, Refund or Return (as the case may be) within a 12-month period from the date of Invoice from which each Credit arose, and where Customer does not so do, the Credit (or any outstanding portion of the Credit) will cancelled, null, void and revoked upon the expiry of that period.
Where Seller takes possession of Assets by way of Replacement or Return and Seller forms the opinion that any Asset Issues raised by the Customer do not exist, are overstated, disingenuous, incorrect or misleading in any way (“False Issue”), then Seller may at its discretion charge Customer (“Issue Charge”):

xi. a Re-stocking Fee; and/or
xii. such sum which in the Seller’s opinion compensates Seller for any loss, cost, damage and/or the effect of the False Issue suffered or incurred by the Seller; and

Seller may apply or set off an Issue Charge against any Credit, Store Voucher, or funds or monies whatsoever held by Seller and/or owing to Customer, and in the event no such application or set-off of the Issue Charge can be made by Seller then payment of the Issue Charge shall immediately become due and owing by Customer to Seller.
f. Seller shall not under any circumstances be liable to reimburse, pay or otherwise compensate Customer for any expense, cost, fee, monies or any other sum except as expressly provided under these Terms.
