    2. Each Order will constitute an offer by the Customer to purchase Goods and/or Services from LJS upon and subject to these Terms and Conditions. Any Price lists or Quotes given by LJS to the Customer are an invitation to the Customer to place an Order with LJS only and do not constitute an offer capable of acceptance.
    3. The Quote, the Order Confirmation and these Terms and Conditions constitute the entire Agreement between the parties. Any prior understandings, representations, variations, exclusions and/or qualifications of any kind whatsoever (whether contained in any purchase order or document of the Customer, expressed verbally or contained in any writing) shall not be binding on the parties except to the extent incorporated expressly in writing into the Agreement or expressly agreed in writing by LJS.

    6. LJS may terminate this Agreement at any time before the Delivery of Goods and/or provision of Services to the Customer by giving written notice to the Customer. LJS shall not be liable for any Claim, Loss or damage whatsoever arising from such cancellation.
    7. For the avoidance of doubt, LJS is under no legal obligation to accept any Order of the Customer. The Customer acknowledges that LJS’s ability to accept or fulfil an Order is subject to the availability of stock and/or the capacity of LJS to meet an Order of the Customer. LJS may at its sole and absolute discretion and for any reason whatsoever reject any Order from the Customer.
    8. An Order may only be made by the Customer to LJS:
      1. in writing or by electronic data interchange (email);
      2. by telephone, if within 3 business days of the placement of the Order, it is confirmed by a means outlined in clause 2.8(a).
    9. The Agreement resulting from the provision of the Order Confirmation to the Customer cannot be terminated or cancelled by the Customer for any reason without LJS’s prior written consent and LJS may at its discretion impose a reasonable cancellation fee (including, without limitation, a Claim for any Loss or loss of profits suffered by LJS).
    10. The Customer must review all invoices issued by LJS and advise LJS of any errors or omissions before the invoice due date. If the Customer does not advise LJS of any errors or omissions by the invoice due date, the invoice is deemed valid and the Customer accepts liability for the invoice in full.
  3. Payment Terms
    1. The Customer agrees to pay LJS the Price in full in accordance with the invoice terms upon the Pickup/Delivery of the Goods and/or Services to the Customer, unless the Customer has completed and returned a Credit Application Form to LJS and LJS has agreed to extend credit to the Customer, in which case, the Customer agrees to pay the Price in full to LJS on or before the 10th business day following the date of invoice or as otherwise agreed in writing with LJS.
    2. Payment for the Customer’s first Order shall be made in advance prior to Pick up or Delivery where
      1. Orders under $1000 (inc GST) are paid in full
      2. Orders over $1000 (inc GST), 50% deposit required, payment on completion.
    3. If LJS agrees to extend credit to the Customer, the Customer agrees to the Terms stated in the Credit Application Form as forming part of the Terms and Conditions of the Agreement. Notwithstanding any credit Terms given to the Customer, LJS may decline to provide Goods and/or Services on credit to the Customer at any time without notice to the Customer.
    4. Payments are to be made via bank transfer, electronic funds transfer, EFTPOS and/or credit card (which may incur a surcharge), as may be varied from time to time.
    5. Payments are to be made to LJS in full without deduction or set off against the Price, whether legal or equitable.
    6. If any part of an amount owing to LJS is at any time overdue, then the whole amount owing to LJS at that time is deemed immediately due and payable.
    7. An event of default (“Event of Default”) is deemed to have occurred under this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties where:
      1. any amount is outstanding and due and payable by the Customer to LJS;

      4. an application is made to wind up or place the Customer into insolvency or external administration;
      5. an order is made for the Customer to be wound up, deregistered or dissolved;

      7. any other event that indicates that the Customer may not be able to pay their debts to LJS as they fall due.
    8. LJS may elect to suspend some or all of its obligations under this Agreement until full payment is received from the Customer. LJS is not liable to the Customer for any Claim, Loss or damage the Customer suffers because LJS exercised its rights under this subclause.
    9. The Price is exclusive of GST, freight and Delivery charges, unless stated otherwise. The Customer is liable for any GST, freight and Delivery charges. The Customer must pay to LJS any GST, freight and Delivery charges, at the same time and in the same manner as the first payment of the Price in respect of any Goods and/or Services is made by the Customer to LJS.
    10. All financial institution duty, stamp duty, Government charges or direct costs of any kind associated with the operation of the Customer’s account, will be charged to the Customer.
    11. The Customer is liable to pay a fee of $100.00 to LJS for each dishonoured payment, as may be amended from time to time.
    12. Prices, fees and charges are subject to change without notice.
    13. Without limiting the ability of LJS to recover all amounts owing to LJS under this Agreement, the Customer authorises LJS to charge any amounts owing to LJS under this Agreement to any credit card or account details provided by the Customer to LJS.
  4. Interest and debt collection
    1. Interest on overdue invoices or accounts shall accrue daily from the date when payment becomes due, until the date of payment, at the standard contract default rate prescribed by the New South Wales Law Society from time to time and such interest shall compound monthly until the invoice or account is settled in full.
    2. Should the account be referred to a collection agency, the Customer shall pay a 15% collection fee plus any and all costs associated with the recovery of the debt including without limitation debt collection, outsourcing and legal costs on an indemnity basis should LJS take legal action, whether outside or through the Courts and Tribunals.
  5. Title and Risk
    1. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that no title to the Goods shall pass to the Customer until payment of all monies owed to LJS has been received in full by LJS.
    2. Risk of Loss or damage to the Goods will pass to the Customer at the time of dispatch from LJS’s premise. LJS shall not be responsible for any Loss or damage to the Goods in transit. Insurance for Goods in transit to the Customer will not be arranged by LJS. The Customer shall be responsible for the insurance of Goods in transit. The Customer shall provide proof of such insurance to LJS if requested.
    3. Until the Price has been paid in full:
      1. legal ownership of Goods shall remain with LJS;
      2. LJS may enter the Customer’s premises (or any premises where the Goods are located), without notice and without liability for trespass or any resulting damage and may retake possession of the Goods. All costs and expenses incurred by LJS as a result of taking action to retake possession of the Goods, together with transportation and storage charges, must be paid by the Customer to LJS on demand;
      3. LJS may keep or resell any repossessed Goods;
      4. if the Customer resells Goods without first having paid LJS for them, the Customer shall hold that part of the proceeds of the sale, which represents the invoiced Price of Goods, in a separate identifiable account as the beneficial property of LJS and shall pay the amount to LJS on request; and
      5. notwithstanding anything contained in subclauses 5.3(a)-(d) (inclusive), LJS shall be entitled to maintain its legal rights against the Customer for the Price of the Goods.
    4. Until such time as the Customer becomes the owner of the Goods, the Customer will:
      1. store the Goods separately and marked on premise;
      2. ensure the Goods are kept in original condition;
      3. secure the Goods from risk, damage or theft; and
      4. keep the Goods fully insured against all common business risks. The Customer shall provide proof of such insurances to LJS if requested.
    5. Where the Customer makes a new product from the Goods, whether deemed as finished or not, or the Customer mixes the Goods procured to create an alternate product, the Customer agrees:
      1. that, until payment of all sums owing to LJS is received,
        1. the ownership of the new product passes to LJS;
        2. these new products will be held in trust for LJS; and
      2. should the Customer die, withhold payment or call a meeting of its creditors, become insolvent, declare bankruptcy, enter into liquidation, has a wind up application lodged against it or has an administrator appointed, LJS may, without prejudice to its other rights under this Agreement, require payment or repossess the Goods.
    6. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that LJS may apply to register a security interest in the Goods at any time before or after Delivery of the Goods. The Customer waives its right under section 157 of the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) (“PPSA”) to receive notice of any verification of the registration.
    7. If the Customer defaults in the performance of any obligation owed to LJS under these Terms and Conditions, or any other agreement with LJS to supply Goods to the Customer, LJS may enforce its security interest in any Goods by exercising all or any of its rights under the Terms and Conditions or the PPSA.
    8. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Customer and LJS agree that the following provisions of the PPSA do not apply to the enforcement by LJS of its security interest in the Goods: sections 95,125,130,135,142 and 143.
  6. Intellectual Property
    1. The supply of Goods and/or Services to the Customer does not constitute a transfer of LJS’s Intellectual Property, or the Intellectual Property in the Goods and/or Services or any part thereof of such rights, to the Customer and all such rights are reserved to the true and lawful owners.
    2. The Customer shall not do anything to infringe LJS’s Intellectual Property, or engage in the disassembly, deconstruction or reengineering of LJS’s Intellectual Property.
    3. Where LJS is the manufacturer or contract manufacturer of Goods and/or Services which contribute to the Customer’s design and specifications, the Customer indemnifies LJS against all Claims, Losses, damages and costs that LJS or related parties may suffer as a result of a Claim by a third party.
    4. The Customer indemnifies LJS with respect to any infringement of LJS’s Intellectual Property. The Customer shall be responsible for any Claims, Losses, damages and costs incurred as a result from any infringement elating to an agreement between LJS and the Customer.

      3. should LJS elect to proceed in any manner in accordance with this clause and/or its sub-clause, the Customer and Guarantor (if any) shall indemnify LJS from and against all of LJS’s costs and disbursements, including legal costs on a solicitor and client basis. The Customer and Guarantor (if any) agree to irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint LJS or the LJS’s nominee as the Customer’s and Guarantor’s true and lawful attorney to perform all necessary acts to give effect to the provisions of this clause.
  8. Credit Limit
    1. The approval of any credit limit or facility to a Customer is an indication only of LJS’s intention at that time and is revocable at will.
