UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED IN WRITING BY MINECORP, THE BUYER AGREES THAT IT WILL BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS IF THE BUYER PLACES AN ORDER WITH MINECORP AND IT IS ACCEPTED BY MINECORP. MINECORP IS NOT BOUND BY ANY TERMS AND CONDITIONS CONTAINED IN ANY DOCUMENT BY THE BUYER. MINECORP MAY AMEND OR VARY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS BY NOTIFYING THE BUYER IN WRITING OF THE AMENDMENT VARIATION.

Orders, Quotations and Price

  1. Once an order has been accepted by Minecorp, it cannot be cancelled by the Buyer. If the Buyer makes a change request to the already accepted order where it results in an increase in total price including labour (if applicable), the Buyer will be charged the additional cost. The supply of goods or services is subject to availability. Minecorp reserves the right to suspend or discontinue the supply of goods or services to the Buyer. Minecorp will advise approximate supply date on acceptance of an order. If Minecorp is unable to supply all of the Buyer’s order, these terms and conditions continue to apply to any part of the order supplied. Minecorp is not liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Buyer as a result of any failure to provide all or part of an order.
  2. Where a written quotation has been given by Minecorp, the selling price is the price specified in the quotation. In any other case, Minecorp’s selling price is the price specified in the price list as at the date of despatch or as otherwise advised by Minecorp. Unless otherwise stated, the selling price does not include GST. Minecorp may at any time change its price list to reflect, among other things, changes in exchange rates or the imposition of any duties, levies or other taxes and the Buyer is bound by those changes. All quotes are valid for 30 days from date of issue.
  3. Where the Buyer has requested a special order that requires Minecorp to supply goods outside its standard supply, the Buyer will be required to provide payment in full prior to Minecorp accepting that order.
  4. In relation to vehicle fitment jobs, Minecorp reserves the right to re-quote if the vehicle delivered to Minecorp premises requires further work from the quoted work specification, including but not limited to the removal of tub body and/or other fittings and accessories that interferes with the correct fitment, and cleaning of the  vehicle.
  5. The Buyer must accept any errors or omissions in invoicing and, where applicable, the Buyer must accept the amended pricing and pay the difference within the approved terms of trade.

Delivery

  1. Unless otherwise notified in writing by Minecorp, all goods including vehicles, will be completed and available for collection ex works from Minecorp. Where a delivery point is an overseas destination, goods will be delivered CIF (as defined under INCOTERMS 2010) to the nominated port. Where notified by Minecorp that delivery is at Minecorp’s premises, all freight from Minecorp’s premises to the Buyer is at the Buyer’s expense. If Minecorp arranges the carriage of the goods for delivery to the Buyer, Minecorp will be deemed to contract as agent for the Buyer, and the Buyer will bear all risks with respect to the goods during carriage and will likewise be responsible for effecting any insurance of the goods during carriage. Minecorp may charge a reasonable handling fee for all orders delivered to the Buyer. The Buyer indemnifies Minecorp for the cost of all transport arranged by Minecorp on the Buyer’s behalf. If a delivery date is specified, that date is an estimate only and Minecorp is not liable for any delay in delivery. Time is not of the essence in relation to delivery and the Buyer must accept delivery and pay for the goods delivered, including transport costs if applicable, even if they are delivered after any specified delivery date. 

Vehicle Fitment

  1. When a tray body is being fitted to a utility, the vehicle is to be delivered to Minecorp as a cab chassis and with ADR approved tail lights and number plate lights. If this is not the case the Buyer must notify Minecorp prior to the commencement of the fit out and the Buyer will be charged additional fees for the removal of the tub and provision of the after-market tail lights and number plate lights. 8. All OE parts that are removed from the vehicle will be disposed of unless specified otherwise by the Buyer. If the Buyer wishes to keep OE parts they must be collected with the vehicle. Any parts left after pick up of the vehicle will become the property of Minecorp. 

Inspection, Acceptance and Returns

  1. The Buyer must inspect the goods or services immediately following delivery or completion of the services (as the case may be). Any claim that the goods or services are not in accordance with these terms and conditions (including if they are defective, damaged during delivery, are short delivered or services not as per contract) must be made at the time of delivery/services provided or in writing to Minecorp within 7 days (or otherwise agreed) after delivery of the goods or completion of the services to the Buyer. If the Buyer fails to make a claim then, to the extent permitted by law, the goods or services are deemed to have been accepted by the Buyer and the Buyer must pay for the goods or services in accordance with these terms and conditions.

Payment

  1. Unless otherwise agreed, if the Buyer has an approved credit account with Minecorp, the Buyer must pay for goods or services ordered by the Buyer within 30 days from the end of the month of invoicing, or earlier if the approved credit limit is exceeded. Where the Buyer does not have a credit account with Minecorp, all goods and services are to be paid for with funds cleared prior to delivery. Time is of the essence in respect of the Buyer’s obligation to make payment for goods or services supplied by Minecorp to the Buyer.
  2. If the Buyer does not make any payment by the due date, exceeds its credit limit at any time, commits any other material breach of these terms and conditions, or an insolvency event in respect of the Buyer arises or is reasonably suspected by Minecorp, Minecorp may (without limiting any other right or claim it may have against the Buyer) do any or all of the following:

    1. charge the Buyer interest calculated on a daily basis on any portion of the Buyer’s account that is overdue at the utilised financial institution’s reference rate for business loans, available to prime commercial customers, plus 5% calculated from the date the payment was due until the date payment is made (both dates inclusive);
    2. vary or withdraw any approved credit limit and/or terms of trade;
    3. cancel or suspend any unfilled orders or cease providing the services;
    4. terminate any contracts between Minecorp and the Buyer and demand immediate payment of any moneys due and outstanding under those contracts;
    5. cancel any rebate, discount or allowance due or payable by Minecorp as at the date of the event;
    6. ​enter (at any time) any premises in which Minecorp’s goods (including any merchandising materials) are stored, to enable Minecorp to inspect the goods and to reclaim possession of the goods without liability for the tort of trespass, negligence or payment of any compensation to the Buyer whatsoever; or
    7. institute any recovery process as Minecorp in its discretion decides at the Buyer’s cost and expense.
  1. If any part of an invoice is in dispute, the balance will remain payable and must be paid when due. The Buyer has no right to set-off any claim against Minecorp from moneys owing to Minecorp.

Risk and Title

  1. Goods supplied by Minecorp to the Buyer are at the Buyer’s risk immediately on the earlier of delivery to the Buyer or into the Buyer’s custody, including its carrier or forwarder. The Buyer must insure the goods at its cost from delivery of the goods until they are paid for in full against such risks as are usual or common to insure against in a business of a similar nature to the Buyer.
  2. Property in the goods supplied by Minecorp to the Buyer does not pass to the Buyer until all goods have been paid for in full. In the meantime, the Buyer takes custody of the goods and retains them only as fiduciary agent and bailee of Minecorp. Until all goods have been paid for in full:
  1. to the extent possible, the Buyer must store the goods in a manner that shows clearly they are the property of Minecorp, maintain records relating to the goods, secure the goods from risk, damage and theft and ensure that the goods are kept in good and serviceable condition;
  2. the Buyer may sell the goods, in the ordinary course of its business, but only as fiduciary agent of Minecorp. The Buyer must not represent to any third party that the Buyer is acting in any capacity for or on behalf of Minecorp and the Buyer has no authority to bind Minecorp to any contract or otherwise assume any liability for or on behalf of Minecorp. The Buyer receives all proceeds (including any proceeds from insurance claims) in trust for Minecorp and must keep the proceeds in a separate bank account until all liability to Minecorp is discharged;
  3. if the Buyer uses the goods in some manufacturing or construction process of its own or of a third party, the Buyer must hold in trust for Minecorp that part of the proceeds of the manufacturing or construction process as is equal to the amount owing by the Buyer to Minecorp at the time of receipt of the proceeds.
  1. For the avoidance of doubt, Minecorp’s interest constitutes a ‘purchase money security interest’ pursuant to the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (PPSA). The Buyer undertakes that it will not grant any security interest over the goods to any other person. The Buyer will, at the request of Minecorp, execute documents and do such further acts as may be required for Minecorp to register the security interest granted by the Buyer under the PPSA. The Buyer further agrees that where Minecorp has rights in addition to those under part 4 of the PPSA, those rights will continue to apply. The Buyer irrevocably grants to Minecorp the right to enter upon the Buyer’s property or premises, without notice, and without being in any way liable to the Buyer or to any third party, if Minecorp has cause to exercise any of its rights under sections 123 and/or 128 of the PPSA, and the Buyer will indemnify Minecorp from any claims made by any third party as a result of such exercise. Copyright, Designs, Drawings and Instructions
  2. Where Minecorp has used artwork or copyright material or followed a design or instruction furnished by or on behalf of the Buyer, the Buyer indemnifies and will keep Minecorp indemnified against all claims, damages, losses, penalties, costs and expenses to which Minecorp may become liable by reason of the use of the artwork, copyright material or design or any work required to be done in accordance with those instructions or design, including any infringement of any patent, registered design, copyright or any other right of a third party, including moral rights. Minecorp will retain ownership and all copyright in relation to all specifications, recipes, designs, drawings, artwork, software, manuals, training and instructions, including those prepared for or on behalf of the Buyer, despite any payment made in accordance with these terms of sale.

Warranty

  1. Minecorp warrants that the goods will, under proper use, be free from defects due to faulty workmanship or materials for a period of 12 months from the date of installation or Delivery, whichever is later. This warranty is in addition to any non-excludable statutory warranty or guarantee that may be implied by law. Refer to Minecorp’s Express Warranty Statement for further details.
  2. Where there is an alleged warranty issue, the Buyer must obtain the advice and approval of Minecorp prior to carrying out any repairs. Minecorp will, if it finds the goods to have a defect covered by this warranty, at its option, repair or replace the goods, or pay for the cost of the goods being repaired. The Buyer must, at its own cost and risk, once approved by Minecorp, quarantine and hold the defective Product and, when instructed by Minecorp, return, repair or destroy the Product. Where the Buyer repairs or arranges for the repair of the Product after approval by Minecorp to do so, the Buyer is solely responsible for ensuring that the goods meet Minecorp’s compliance criteria and are safe and fit for purpose. Limitation of Liability
  3. To the extent permitted by law these terms and conditions exclude all other conditions, guarantees, warranties, liabilities or representations in relation to the goods and/or services unless contained in a written warranty provided to the Buyer with the goods. Where legislation implies in these terms and conditions any condition or warranty that cannot be excluded or modified, to the extent permitted by law the liability of Minecorp for a breach of any such condition or warranty is limited at Minecorp’s option to any one or more of the following:
  1. In the case of goods:

    1. replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods;
    2. payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods, by credit to the Buyer’s account, in cash or by cheque at Minecorp’s discretion; or
    3. repayment of any part of the purchase price of the goods which has been paid by the Buyer, by credit to the Buyer’s account, in cash or by cheque at Minecorp’s discretion.
  2. In the case of advice, recommendations, information or services, by supplying the advice recommendations, information or services again.
  1. Subject to clause 13, Minecorp is not liable for any loss or damage of any kind whatsoever and howsoever arising out of or in connection with the supply of goods and services, including (without limitation) any indirect or consequential loss (including without limitation loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of contract, loss of goodwill or increased cost of workings), arising out of or in connection with the supply of goods or services, even if due to the negligence of Minecorp or any of its employees or agents. Minecorp will not be liable for any act of war, strike, industrial action, fire, flood, drought, storm or other act of natural cause beyond its reasonable control.

Other Terms

  1. This agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties as to its subject matter. Other than any written warranty provided with the goods, there is no other understanding agreement, warranty or representation whether express or implied in any way defining or extending or otherwise relating to these provisions or binding on the parties with respect to the goods of their operation. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (known as the Vienna Sales Convention 1980) is excluded.
  2. If any provision of these terms or conditions is unenforceable, illegal or void, that provision is severed and the other provisions remain in force.
  3. This agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Queensland and the parties submit to the jurisdiction of the Courts of that State.
  4. Minecorp may amend or vary these terms and conditions by notifying the Buyer in writing of the amendment or variation.
