These terms do not limit or alter your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act (other than in the circumstances permitted under that Act).

The purchase price is for goods supplied and packed, and is exclusive of installation and maintenance.

The price you pay will be increased by the amount of GST, other taxes and duties which may be applicable and insurance/freight/handling charges (except to the extent already expressly included in the price).

Provided we meet our obligations under the Fair Trading Act 1986, we can revise our prices at any time prior to accepting your order.

Purchase prices are given in New Zealand dollars unless otherwise stated.

You are bound to pay us the price once we accept your order. A quotation does not give rise to a binding contract until you place an order which we subsequently accept.

Payment

If you have been given a credit term account, payment will be due by the 20th of the month following the date of invoice. Otherwise the goods you purchase must be paid for before we can deliver the goods to you.

We can impose a credit limit on you at any time, and alter it at our discretion with effect from the date that we notify you of such change. If you exceed your credit limit, we can refuse to supply goods to you.

If we at any time consider your credit worthiness to be unsatisfactory we can require security for payment.

You cannot withhold payment or make any deductions from any amount you owe us without our prior written consent.
