TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF TRADE 1. Definitions 1.1 “Vendor” means DR & TM Witty T/A Play’n’Learn, its successors and assigns or any person acting on behalf of and with the authority of DR & TM Witty T/A Play’n’Learn. 1.2 “Customer” means the person/s buying the Goods as specified in any invoice, document or order, and if there is more than one Customer is a reference to each Customer jointly and severally. 1.3 “Goods” means all Goods or Services supplied by the Vendor to the Customer at the Customer’s request from time to time (where the context so permits the terms ‘Goods’ or ‘Services’ shall be interchangeable for the other). 1.4 “Price” means the Price payable for the Goods as agreed between the Vendor and the Customer in accordance with clause 4 below. 2. Acceptance 2.1 The Customer is taken to have exclusively accepted and is immediately bound, jointly and severally, by these terms and conditions if the Customer places an order for or accepts delivery of the Goods. 2.2 These terms and conditions may only be amended with the Vendor’s consent in writing and shall prevail to the extent of any inconsistency with any other document or agreement between the Customer and the Vendor. 3. Change in Control 3.1 The Customer shall give the Vendor not less than fourteen (14) days prior written notice of any proposed change of ownership of the Customer and/or any other change in the Customer’s details (including but not limited to, changes in the Customer’s name, address, contact phone or fax number/s, or business practice). The Customer shall be liable for any loss incurred by the Vendor as a result of the Customer’s failure to comply with this clause. 4. Price and Payment 4.1 At the Vendor’s sole discretion the Price shall be either: (a) as indicated on any invoice provided by the Vendor to the Customer; or (b) the Vendor’s quoted price (subject to clause 4.2) which will be valid for the period stated in the quotation or otherwise for a period of thirty (30) days. 4.2 The Vendor reserves the right to change the Price if a variation to the Vendor’s quotation is requested. Any variation from the plan of scheduled works or specifications (including, but not limited to, any variation as a result of additional works required due to unforeseen circumstances such as limitations to accessing the site, safety considerations, prerequisite work by any third party not being completed or as a result of any increase to the Vendor in the cost of materials and labour or as a result of fluctuations in currency exchange rates) will be charged for on the basis of the Vendor’s quotation and will be shown as variations on the invoice. Payment for all variations must be made in full at their time of completion. 4.3 At the Vendor’s sole discretion a deposit may be required. 4.4 Time for payment for the Goods being of the essence, the Price will be payable by the Customer on the date/s determined by the Vendor, which may be: (a) on delivery of the Goods; (b) the date specified on any invoice or other form as being the date for payment; or 4.5 failing any notice to the contrary, the date which is the twentyth (20th) of the month following the invoice date. 4.6 Payment may be made by cash, cheque, bank cheque, electronic/on-line banking, credit card or by any other method as agreed to between the Customer and the Vendor. 4.7 Unless otherwise stated the Price does not include GST. In addition to the Price the Customer must pay to the Vendor an amount equal to any GST the Vendor must pay for any supply by the Vendor under this or any other agreement for the sale of the Goods. The Customer must pay GST, without deduction or set off of any other amounts, at the same time and on the same basis as the Customer pays the Price. In addition the Customer must pay any other taxes and duties that may be applicable in addition to the Price except where they are expressly included in the Price. 5. Delivery of Goods 5.1 Delivery (“Delivery”) of the Goods is taken to occur at the time that the Vendor (or the Vendor’s nominated carrier) delivers the Goods to the Customer’s nominated address even if the Customer is not present at the address. 5.2 At the Vendor’s sole discretion the cost of delivery is either included in the Price or is in addition to the Price. 5.3 The Customer must take delivery by receipt or collection of the Goods whenever they are tendered for delivery. In the event that the Customer is unable to take delivery of the Goods as arranged then the Vendor shall be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for redelivery and/or storage. 5.4 The Vendor may deliver the Goods in separate instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid in accordance with the provisions in these terms and conditions. 5.5 Any time or date given by the Vendor to the Customer is an estimate only. The Customer must still accept delivery of the Goods even if late and the Vendor will not be liable for any loss or damage incurred by the Customer as a result of the delivery being late. 6. Risk 6.1 Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods passes to the Customer on Delivery and the Customer must insure the Goods on or before Delivery. 6.2 If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed following delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Customer, the Vendor is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Goods. The production of these terms and conditions by the Vendor is sufficient evidence of the Vendor’s rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with the Vendor to make further enquiries. 6.3 If the Customer requests the Vendor to deliver the Goods to an unattended location then such Goods shall be left at the Customer’s sole risk. 6.4 All literature, samples, specifications, dimensions and weights are approximate only and the data and descriptions contained in catalogues and other advertising material, while being as accurate as possible, may not necessarily be identical with products and services the Vendor supplies, and the Vendor reserves the right to supply products that have minor modifications in specifications as the Vendor sees fit. 7. Title 7.1 The Vendor and the Customer agree that ownership of the Goods shall not pass until: (a) the Customer has paid the Vendor all amounts owing to the Vendor; and (b) the Customer has met all of its other obligations to the Vendor. 7.2 Receipt by the Vendor of any form of payment other than cash shall not be deemed to be payment until that form of payment has been honoured, cleared or recognised. 7.3 It is further agreed that: (a) until ownership of the Goods passes to the Customer in accordance with clause 7.1 that the Customer is only a bailee of the Goods and must return the Goods to the Vendor on request. (b) the Customer holds the benefit of the Customer’s insurance of the Goods on trust for the Vendor and must pay to the Vendor the proceeds of any insurance in the event of the Goods being lost, damaged or destroyed. (c) the Customer must not sell, dispose, or otherwise part with possession of the Goods other than in the ordinary course of business and for market value. If the Customer sells, disposes or parts with possession of the Goods then the Customer must hold the proceeds of any such act on trust for the Vendor and must pay or deliver the proceeds to the Vendor on demand. (d) the Customer should not convert or process the Goods or intermix them with other goods but if the Customer does so then the Customer holds the resulting product on trust for the benefit of the Vendor and must sell, dispose of or return the resulting product to the Vendor as it so directs. (e) the Customer irrevocably authorises the Vendor to enter any premises where the Vendor believes the Goods are kept and recover possession of the Goods. (f) the Vendor may recover possession of any Goods in transit whether or not delivery has occurred. (g) the Customer shall not charge or grant an encumbrance over the Goods nor grant nor otherwise give away any interest in the Goods while they remain the property of the Vendor. (h) the Vendor may commence proceedings to recover the Price of the Goods sold notwithstanding that ownership of the Goods has not passed to the Customer. 8. Personal Property Securities Act 1999 (“PPSA”) 8.1 Upon assenting to these terms and conditions in writing the Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) these terms and conditions constitute a security agreement for the purposes of the PPSA; and (b) a security interest is taken in all Goods previously supplied by the Vendor to the Customer (if any) and all Goods that will be supplied in the future by the Vendor to the Customer. 8.2 The Customer undertakes to: (a) sign any further documents and/or provide any further information (such information to be complete, accurate and up-to-date in all respects) which the Vendor may reasonably require to register a financing statement or financing change statement on the Personal Property Securities Register; (b) indemnify, and upon demand, reimburse the Vendor for all expenses incurred in registering a financing statement or financing change statement on the Personal Property Securities Register or releasing any Goods charged thereby; (c) not register a financing change statement or a change demand without the prior written consent of the Vendor; and (d) immediately advise the Vendor of any material change in its business practices of selling the Goods which would result in a change in the nature of proceeds derived from such sales. 8.3 The Vendor and the Customer agree that nothing in sections 114(1)(a), 133 and 134 of the PPSA shall apply to these terms and conditions. 8.4 The Customer waives its rights as a debtor under sections 116, 120(2), 121, 125, 126, 127, 129, 131 and 132 of the PPSA. 8.5 Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Vendor, the Customer waives its right to receive a verification statement in accordance with section 148 of the PPSA. 8.6 The Customer shall unconditionally ratify any actions taken by the Vendor under clauses 8.1 to 8.5. 9. Security and Charge 9.1 In consideration of the Vendor agreeing to supply the Goods, the Customer charges all of its rights, title and interest (whether joint or several) in any land, realty or other assets capable of being charged, owned by the Customer either now or in the future, to secure the performance by the Customer of its obligations under these terms and conditions (including, but not limited to, the payment of any money). 9.2 The Customer indemnifies the Vendor from and against all the Vendor’s costs and disbursements including legal costs on a solicitor and own client basis incurred in exercising the Vendor’s rights under this clause. 9.3 The Customer irrevocably appoints the Vendor and each director of the Vendor as the Customer’s true and lawful attorney/s to perform all necessary acts to give effect to the provisions of this clause 9 including, but not limited to, signing any document on the Customer’s behalf. 10.

If the Customer shall fail to comply with these provisions the Goods shall be presumed to be free from any defect or damage.
