However, time is not of the essence under this Agreement and except where we have an obligation under the Australian Consumer Law, we shall not be liable for any failure to deliver Products in accordance with any particular requirements of Customers including any delay in delivery for any reason. Such failure or delay will not entitle the Customer to terminate the Contract or to claim compensation of any nature. The Customer is not entitled to reject Product on the basis of late delivery.

5.3 Unless otherwise agreed, the cost of delivery of Products to the Customer is the responsibility and to the account of the Customer.

5.4 Unloading of Products at point of delivery is the Customer’s or the Customers agents’ responsibility and the Customer shall at its expense be responsible for all costs associated with the unloading of Products.

6.2 All deliveries should be inspected by the Customer for missing or damaged goods before signing the proof of delivery documentation. Missing or damaged goods should be noted on the proof of delivery documentation and brought to BWI’s attention.

7. RETENTION OF TITLE

7.1 Notwithstanding the risk in Products passes pursuant to Clause 5, property in and ownership of Products remains with BWI and does not pass to the Customer until such time as all amounts which from time to time are owed by the Customer to BWI have been paid in full.

7.2 The Customer acknowledges that until such time as the property and ownership of Products passes to the Customer in accordance with Clause 7.1, the Customer shall:

a) hold the Products for and on behalf of BWI as a fiduciary bailee and agent (such agency being limited to holding possession of the goods for and on behalf of BWI);

b) store the goods separately and in such manner that they are clearly identified as the property of BWI;

c) keep the Products safe and secure and in a good condition;

d) keep the Products fully insured to their full replacement value against all risks; and

e) not encumber the Products.

7.4 The Customer grants to BWI an irrevocable license to enter any of the Customer’s premises, exercisable upon a breach of terms of these Terms and Conditions of Sales or the Customer’s Credit Application, to enter the Customer’s premises and repossess and remove all Product on the premises. The Customer acknowledges that BWI will not be liable for any Loss suffered by the Customer as result of BWI taking such action and indemnifies BWI against such Loss.

7.5 The Customer may, in the ordinary course of its business, sell and deliver the Products to a third party (and for that purpose BWI gives the Customer the right to pass the ownership of the Products to the third party). If the Customer resells the Products before payment is made, the Customer shall hold the proceeds of resale of the Products in trust for BWI and account to BWI for all moneys owed by the Customer to BWI. The Customer acknowledges that BWI has the right to trace the proceeds of resale. The Customer’s ability to resell the Products shall automatically cease if a receiver is appointed over any of the assets or undertaking of the Customer or if a winding up order is made against the Customer or if the Customer goes into voluntary liquidation (otherwise than for the purposes of a reconstruction or amalgamation approved by BWI) or calls a meeting of or makes any arrangement or composition with creditors or commits any act of bankruptcy.

7.6 In addition to BWI’s rights described above, as security for the due and punctual payment of the Secured Money‘s, the Customer:

a) charges and grants a Security Interest to BWI in all of the Customer’s present and future rights and interest in the Products and any proceeds of the Products; and

b) charges to BWI, and as an additional and separate Security Interest, all present and future Account, Chattel Paper (as defined in the PPS Act) and all other rights or chose in action which form part of or relate to the Products or any part of them at any time.

8. PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITIES LAW

8.1 The Customer acknowledges that under this agreement the Customer grants Security Interest to BWI including without limitations:

a) first, a retention of title in respect of the Products (in accordance with Clause 7.1) and

b) secondly, a charge over the Products and the Proceeds of the Products (in accordance with Clause 7.5).

8.2 The Customer acknowledges that this agreement constitutes a Security Agreement.

8.3 The Customer will do anything reasonably required by BWI to enable BWI to perfect its Security Interest in the Products and any proceeds of the resale of the Products in accordance with the PPS Act, including to enable BWI to register its Security Interest, the priority BWI requires, and to maintain the registration. The Security Interest arising under these Terms and Conditions attaches to the Products when the Customer obtains possession of the Products and the parties confirm that they have not agreed that any Security Interest under these Terms and Conditions attaches at any later time.

8.4 The Customer acknowledges that BWI may perfect its Security Interest by lodging a Financing Statement (as defined in the PPS Act) on the Personal Property Securities Register established under the PPS Act. If:

a) A PPS law applies, or will at a future date apply to this agreement, or BWI determines that a PPS Law applies, or will at a future date apply, to this agreement, and

b) In BWI’s opinion (acting reasonably), the PPS Law

i) adversely affects or would adversely affect BWI’s security position or its rights or obligations under or in connection with this agreement; or

ii) enables or would enable BWI’s security position to be improved without adversely affecting the Customer in a material respect;

then BWI may give notice to the Customer requiring the Customer to do anything that in BWI’s opinion is reasonably necessary to ensure that, to the maximum possible extent, BWI’s security position, and rights and obligations, are not adversely affected as contemplated by Clause 8.4 b i) (or that any such adverse effect is overcome), or that BWI’s security position is improved as contemplated in Clause 8.4 b ii) and the Customer must comply with the requirements of that notice within the time stipulated in the notice.

8.5 In Clause 8.4, PPS Law means:

a) the PPS Act;

b) any regulations made at any time under the PPS Act;

c) any amendment to any of the above, made at any time; or

8.7 The following provisions of the PPS Act will not apply to the enforcement of this these terms: section 95,121(4), 130,132(3), 132(4), 135,142 and 143.

9.2 A fee will be applied to any Order for non-standard Product that is cancelled before delivery to the Customer based on the costs BWI will incur as a direct result of the cancellation.

9.3 BWI shall be entitled to cancel the Order by notifying the Customer in writing if fulfillment is impossible within a reasonable period of time because of war, strike, pandemic, lockout, political conditions or other incident of force majeure beyond BWI’s control.

12.4 This clause 12.4 applies where any Act, statute, rule or regulation (other than Division 1 of Part 3-2 of the Australian Consumer Law and regulations made in relation thereto) (“other law”) implies in this Contract any term, condition, warranty, right or obligation (“implied term”), and the other law avoids or prohibits a provision in a contract excluding or modifying the application of, exercise of or liability under such implied term.

ANNEXURE A

BWI INTERNET GUIDELINES

It is BWI’s expectations that authorised distributors provide prompt, efficient, competent and courteous pre sales education and assistance and, in particular, ensure that the individual buyer is recommended the correct model for their specific application. At the same time, BWI recognises that the online marketplace is increasingly connecting traders to end users and so to help protect the value and integrity in the BWI brand and intellectual property, support positive customer experiences, ensure appropriate warranty and claim support and maintain the reputation of and credibility in the BWI product range on the internet, Customers are required to comply with the following guidelines.

1. The Customer may promote or offer for sale BWI Products online but only on the Customer’s own website or websites and only if the Customer has first notified BWI of its intention to do so and of the address of the website(s) which must be in the same business name as registered with BWI. The Customer must not promote or offer for sale Products online on any other website either directly or indirectly unless expressly authorised by BWI under its Approved Online Reseller Program.

2. Customers must only use approved and authorised BWI images (including, but not limited to photos, logos, images, and drawings), product information and data regarding the suitability of use of BWI Products. BWI’s prior approval in writing is required for the use of any other images and information before this is published on the website.

3. If sales are made by Customers to end users outside Australia then the Customer is responsible for the freight for any Product returns and / or warranty claims to BWI. BWI does not authorize the resale of NARVA branded product outside Australia and New Zealand due to the risk of third party trade mark infringement.

BWI requires its Customers to comply with these guidelines to manage the reputational, product and legal risks associated with online sales. BWI will monitor compliance with these guidelines. Failure to comply with the Internet Guidelines will be a breach of the BWI Terms and Conditions and will be a ground for termination of the contract between the Customer and BWI. These guidelines may be periodically amended at BWI’s discretion.
