1.1 These Terms and Conditions of Trade ("Terms") apply to all services, goods, and products supplied by Tasman Grit Steel Cleaning Pty Limited (ABN 89 003 673 989) ("Tasman Grit") to any client, purchaser, authority, or commercial entity ("Client") and apply to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions.
1.2 Any terms and conditions incorporated in a purchase order, commercial contract, or other document issued by the Client are expressly negated and have no force or effect. Tasman Grit supplies services and goods only on these Terms.
1.3 A Client who accepts a quotation, submits a purchase order, allows work to commence, or takes delivery of goods and services, by doing so agrees to these Terms applying to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions.
1.4 A company representative who procures work on behalf of a company, by doing so, submits the company they represent to these Terms. All entities in the chain of procurement — including head contractors, project managers, and principals — must adhere to these Terms.
1.5 If any provision of these Terms is wholly or partly invalid or unenforceable by law, that provision, or the part of it that is invalid or unenforceable, must to that extent be deleted. The deletion does not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining Terms.
1.6 These Terms must be read in conjunction with Tasman Grit's Applicator Supply Terms, which form an integrated agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and the Applicator Supply Terms, the Applicator Supply Terms prevail in relation to coating and surface preparation services.
2.1 Any prices provided by Tasman Grit verbally are a guide only. Verbal pricing is based on information relayed to Tasman Grit at the time of enquiry. The particulars of a project may not align with what Tasman Grit has accounted for in verbal estimations. All clients must seek a written quotation prior to commencement of works.
2.2 Where no written quotation has been supplied, the cost of completed works will be determined by Tasman Grit's project labour sheets and material records. It is not compulsory to obtain a written quotation prior to requesting Tasman Grit to begin works; however, it is strongly advised.
2.3 All prices are ex-warehouse at Wagga Wagga, NSW, unless otherwise stated in writing. Transport and delivery charges, if applicable, are payable by the Client in addition to any quoted price.
2.4 All quotations are valid for 30 days from the date of issue. After 30 days, Tasman Grit reserves the right to revise the quotation to reflect current material and labour costs without notice.
2.5 The scope of works is limited to the services explicitly described in the accepted quotation. Any services not described are excluded and may be provided as a variation at additional cost, subject to written agreement.
2.6 Tasman Grit reserves the right to adjust prices if the project scope changes, material costs increase after the quotation date, or the Client causes delays that increase Tasman Grit's costs.
3.1 Terms of payment will be cash on dispatch of a project where the Client has requested Tasman Grit to organise delivery. These terms are non-negotiable to clients who do not hold a Trade Account with Tasman Grit.
3.2 Terms of payment will be payment on pick-up of a project where the Client has come to collect the project from Tasman Grit's depot. These terms are non-negotiable to clients who do not hold a Trade Account with Tasman Grit.
3.3 To obtain a Trade Account, the Client must complete a Trade Account application form and undergo a financial background check with business references before being approved. Tasman Grit reserves the right to refuse any Trade Account application without providing reasons.
3.4 Once granted a Trade Account, Tasman Grit reserves the right to cancel, suspend, or revoke the Trade Account if the Client does not adhere to the terms agreed to in the Trade Account application, or if the Client's payment history gives Tasman Grit reasonable grounds for concern.
3.5 Tasman Grit reserves the right to withhold deliveries or retain possession of projects in circumstances where terms of payment have not been met by the Client. Tasman Grit is under no obligation to release completed works until payment has been received in full.
3.6 If the Client fails to pay any moneys owing to Tasman Grit within 14 days of the invoice date, such overdue moneys shall accrue interest from day to day at a rate of 12% per annum on such moneys from the date of invoice until all moneys are paid in full.
3.7 Any payment or interest due to Tasman Grit in accordance with this clause — the Client shall be liable for all reasonable legal and debt collection costs incurred by Tasman Grit in relation to collection of any payment due by the Client, on a full indemnity basis.
3.8 The Client must not withhold payment as a means of financing other vendors, sub-contractors, or third parties. Withholding payment without a legitimate written dispute constitutes a material breach of these Terms.
3.9 If the Client disputes an invoice, they must notify Tasman Grit in writing within 7 days of the invoice date, specifying the disputed amount and the reasons for the dispute. The Client must pay the undisputed portion of the invoice by the due date. Failure to provide written notice of dispute within 7 days constitutes acceptance of the invoice in full.
3.10 Tasman Grit may require a deposit of up to 50% of the quoted price before commencing work on projects valued at $5,000 or more. The deposit is non-refundable if the Client cancels the project after work has commenced.
4.1 Title in goods and products purchased remains with Tasman Grit until Tasman Grit has received payment in full of all monies owing by the Client for the purchase of the products and services. If payment is not made in full by the due date, Tasman Grit is authorised to retake possession of the goods and products and to recover any deficiency on resale of the goods and products, plus any costs of retaking possession, as a liquidated debt.
4.2 Tasman Grit is authorised to enter any premises under the control of the Client to retake possession of the goods and products purchased. Upon resale of the goods and products, whether as part of another good or product manufactured by the Client, the Client will hold any proceeds of sale in trust for Tasman Grit until payment of the goods and products has been made in full.
4.3 Risk in relation to damage to the goods and products passes to the Client upon their dispatch or collection from Tasman Grit's depot.
