The following Terms and Conditions of Credit & Sale “Terms and Conditions”) apply to any credit supplied by, and any contract for the supply of goods or services by, Cocco Corporation Pty Ltd ACN 007 885 190 in its capacity as trustee for N D Treliving Family Trust ABN 44 682 103 598 (“Company”) to the party named as the customer in the above Credit Application (“Customer”) annexed to these Terms and Conditions (“Contract”). Any other terms and conditions purported to be included by the Customer are hereby excluded. Each time the Customer places an order with the Company the Customer accepts these Terms and Conditions as governing the supply of the goods or services ordered. Amendments to or deviations from these Terms and Conditions must be agreed in writing by the Company.

1. Orders: All orders for goods must be made using the standard-format order form provided by the Company from time to time. The Customer's first order must be for a minimum order value of $350 (excl. GST, delivery and any other costs). A Customer's second and subsequent orders must be for a minimum order value of $250 (excl. GST, delivery and any other costs). The Company reserves the right to accept or reject any order in whole or in part for any reason, including without limitation the unavailability of any goods. The Company will not be liable to the Customer or any other party for rejecting any order. In the event the Customer requests a change to its order after packing has occurred, the Customer will be charged a $50 re-packing fee. Backorders will only be accepted and processed when agreed in writing by the Company and the Customer.
2. Cancellation & Return: The Customer cannot cancel an order for goods, nor delay delivery or collection (as the case may be) once the Company has accepted an order without the Company's consent (which may be granted or withheld in its discretion). If the Company agrees to cancel an order prior to dispatch, the Customer must pay to the Company a cancellation fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the value of the order so cancelled and any other delivery costs incurred by the Company up to the time the order was cancelled. If the Company agrees to the Customer returning goods which have already been dispatched or delivered by the Company, the Customer must return the goods to the Company at its own cost and the Company will only accept the return of such goods on the condition that the Customer pay to Company a cancellation fee equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of the order so cancelled. All goods returned under this clause must be unopened, in re-saleable condition and in their original condition and packaging.
3. Payment: Unless otherwise agreed, payment for goods supplied must be made in Australian dollars (AUD$) prior to dispatch of the goods. If the Company has agreed to provide a credit account to the Customer and the Customer is not in default in respect of such credit account, payment for goods must be made not more than 30 days from the date of the invoice issued by the Company for such goods, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company. All amounts payable to the Company under this Contract must be paid in full by their due date for payment without deduction or set-off. Payment is not made until received in full in cleared funds by the Company. The Company may set-off any monies owed by it to the Customer against any monies owing by the Customer to the Company.
4. Price: All prices quoted are in Australian dollars (AUD$), exclusive of GST, duty, tariffs and delivery charges which, when applicable, will be payable (or, if paid by the Company, reimbursed on demand to the Company) by the Customer. Prices quoted shall be subject to variation at the election of the Company at any time without notice. The Customer must pay any GST, duty, tariffs and delivery charges applicable to the sale of the goods at the same time as payment for the goods is made. The Company reserves the right to charge an additional 1.5% on any amount which the Customer pays for using credit card.
5. Interest: Interest on overdue accounts shall be charged at a rate that is 3% above the Company's prevailing bank overdraft rate. Interest accrues from day to day, from the day the relevant invoice was issued by the Company up to and including the day the relevant invoice is paid in full. Any amount of interest, together with the outstanding purchase price is payable by the Customer on demand and, further, the Customer expressly undertakes to pay all such interest.
6. Collection Expenses: Should it be considered necessary by the Company to incur legal and/or other expenses, including any such expenses with any debt collection agency, in obtaining or attempting to obtain payment of any amount due by the Customer, the Customer shall be liable for such expenses. The Customer further acknowledges that those expenses may be calculated on a commission basis at a percentage rate of up to 25% of the amount owing and expressly agrees to pay those expenses irrespective of the amount of work actually performed by the agency. Amounts received by the Company may be applied first against interest, charges and expenses and then to the overdue account.
7. Delivery: 

7.1 The Company shall not be obliged to deliver any goods if the Customer fails to pay any amount which is due and payable. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Company will, at the Customer's cost, arrange delivery of the goods to a metropolitan destination of a capital city within Australia nominated by the Customer and the Customer must pay all freight and delivery charges in accordance with the payment terms set out above (that is, the price for goods is on an „ex-works' basis). In the event the Company agrees (on such terms it deems appropriate) to assist the Customer with arranging international delivery, this will be undertaken at the Customer's cost and risk in all things. The Customer must provide the Company with details of its agent/carrier and is responsible for providing all on-forwarding instructions. The Customer indemnifies and must keep indemnified the Company from and against any and all losses, costs, liabilities, claims and expenses (including legal costs on a solicitor and own-client basis) which the Company may suffer or incur in connection with the Company assisting the Customer with arranging international freight and delivery, except to the extent such loss is caused by the willful or grossly negligent acts of the Company.

7.2 The Company makes no warranty as to time of delivery or the availability of goods and the Customer acknowledges that the Company will not be held liable for any loss or damage (including consequential loss or damage) arising from delay in delivery or for non-delivery. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Company (or its freight agent) will unload the goods at the risk of the Customer. If the Customer is unable or unwilling to accept physical delivery of the goods when the goods are ready for delivery, the Company shall be entitled to charge a fee for any delay suffered, or to arrange for storage of the goods at the risk and cost of the Customer including all transportation, storage, re-stocking and other consequential costs. The Company may deliver goods in part with written notice to the Customer. If goods are delivered in part pursuant to such notice, the Customer must accept the part-delivery and pay the percentage of the purchase price represented by the goods delivered. The failure of the Company to deliver shall not entitle either party to treat the Contract as cancelled.

8. Risk: Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the risk in the goods purchased shall pass to the Customer upon the date of acceptance of any order by the Company. If any of the goods are damaged or destroyed prior to the title in them passing to the Customer, the Company is entitled, without affecting any other rights and remedies under any agreement, to any insurance proceeds payable for the goods.
9. Rejection: The Customer must give the Company written notice within 2 business days of receipt of the goods of any non-conformity to the description of the goods (other than promotional goods), otherwise the Customer will be deemed to have accepted the delivered goods. The Customer waives any right to reject or revoke acceptance after such time. The Company may at its discretion give the Customer a credit for any shortages or damaged goods, which in the opinion of the Company have not been damaged as a result of an insurable occurrence in relation to the Customer or an act or omission on the part of the Customer, or its officers, agents, employees or subcontractors. The Customer must follow the directions of the Company with respect to the isolation or other treatment of non-conforming goods.
