Terms of Trade

The terms of trade set out below govern all of the supplies of goods and services from Aeroqual Limited (“Aeroqual”, “we”, “us”) to the Customer (“you”). They will replace any terms and conditions contained in any document used by you and purporting to have contractual effect, and your acceptance of any goods or services from Aeroqual indicates your acceptance of these terms of trade. These terms of trade are effective from 28 February 2013 and replace all earlier terms of trade between you and Aeroqual. Please refer separately to our Warranty Policy.

1.1 - All prices are subject to alteration without notice.

1.2 - You agree to pay goods and services tax and any other government duties, levies or taxes in respect of the goods or services.

1.3 - Orders may be canceled only if Aeroqual agrees in writing to the cancellation and the order has not been processed.

2.1 - You are responsible for risk in the goods from the earlier of the time they are received by a carrier for delivery to you, or the time they are received by you or your agent.

2.2 - You agree to pay all delivery costs. If we deliver any order in parts, then each delivery is a separate contract.

2.3 - You do not have the right to possess goods until they are delivered to you or collected by you. Where you ask us to deliver goods directly to another person, that person takes possession of the goods for you as your agent.

2.4 - All claims for shortage or delivery damage must be made to the carrier and to Aeroqual within 3 business days of the date of delivery.

3.1 - Unless we have agreed in writing to extend credit to you in another manner, you must pay for all goods in full before delivery or collection.

3.2 - Where we have agreed to extend credit to you, you must pay in full, without deduction or setoff, by the date indicated on the invoice. Your payment is made only when funds have fully cleared through the banking system into our bank account.

3.3 - If you have not paid in full by the due date, we may charge you interest compounding monthly on the unpaid overdue balance at the rate of 8% per annum above the current official cash rate (OCR) in New Zealand, and we may charge costs (including collection costs and legal costs on a solicitor-client basis) and suspend delivery of further goods or performance of further services until the account is paid.

3.4 - Payments which you make to us will be applied first to any sum of money which is owed in respect of service work, then to payment for any goods which have been purchased as inventory and which have been sold by you, then to payment for goods supplied by us which have not been sold by you.

3.5 - Property and ownership in goods, whether in their original form or incorporated in or attached to another product, will not pass to you but will remain with Aeroqual until Aeroqual receives payment in full of the purchase price of the goods and all other amounts that you owe to Aeroqual for any reason.

3.6 - Until property passes to you, you shall hold any goods in trust for Aeroqual, and store and sell them in a manner to enable them to be identified and cross-referenced to particular invoices.

3.8 - You must not resell or part with possession of any goods or equipment that we supply for your use before you have paid for it in full, unless we have given you written consent.

3.9 - Notwithstanding clauses 3.1 and 3.2 above, all payments shall immediately become due to Aeroqual if we reasonably believe that the information which you have given us in your application for credit is not correct or no longer correct, and you have failed to give us correct information within 5 days of our request, if, without our consent you sell or otherwise dispose of any goods which have not been paid for, if you become insolvent, commit any act of bankruptcy, or if a receiver, liquidator or statutory manager is appointed over any of your assets or undertaking, if you fail to comply with any of the provisions of clause 5, or if you make or attempt to make an arrangement or composition with creditors.

3.11 - Where Aeroqual bears the exchange rate risk, the parties agree that if the exchange rate on the actual date of payment differs by more than 5% from the purchase price, then the payment due may be adjusted accordingly.

4.1 - If we extend credit to you or if you owe us money for any reason, you agree to grant us a security interest in the property that we have supplied to you. You agree that you will do all acts necessary and provide us on request all information we require to register notice of that security interest over the goods and their proceeds and that you will advise us immediately in writing of any changes to that information.
