By requesting the supply of Goods or Services from us, the Customer acknowledges and agrees to these Term and Conditions of Sale.

 1.2 - These Terms and Conditions of Sale, our written quotation (if applicable) or other sales confirmation issued by Track and our invoice (together, the "Agreement") constitute the entire agreement between the parties for the supply of the Goods and Services referred to in the Agreement and exclude (to the extent permitted by law) all other representations, promises, undertakings, terms, conditions and warranties (whether express or implied).

 2.2 - Unless otherwise agreed in writing all packaging, freight, insurance, delivery, travel charges, the cost of materials and the cost of any services provided by third parties to Track (in both cases where Track is providing Services to the Customer) and other costs and disbursements incurred by us in providing the Goods or Services together with GST and other government duties, levies or taxes imposed in respect of the Goods and Services, will be additional to any price quoted. These will be charged at the rates applying at the time of delivery.

 3.2 - Where we have agreed to extend credit to the Customer, payment in full, without deduction or set off, is due by the 20th of the month following the date of invoice . Payment is made only when funds have fully cleared through the bank system into our bank account.

 3.5 - Where Track have agreed to extend credit to the Customer, we may, from time to time at our discretion, vary the Customer's credit limit with us. If a purchase of Goods or Services would exceed the Customer's current credit limited, we may require payment in cash of the excess before delivery of them.

 3.6 - If: (a) the Customer breaches any provision of the Agreement (or any other agreement with Track);

              (b) any event occurs or information becomes known to Track which, in Track's opinion, might materially affect the Customer's creditworthiness or the Customer's ability or willingness to comply with its obligations under the Agreement;

When the Customer requests the Goods to be delivered to another person, that person takes possession of the Goods as agent for the Customer.

 4.2 - Track will make every effort to complete delivery on the date agreed but will not be liable for any delay in delivery nor will the Customer be entitled to cancel or reject any order.

8.0 Title

 8.1 - Ownership in the Goods shall not pass to the Customer at the time of delivery, but will remain with us until all money the Customer owes to Track has been paid in full. To avoid doubt no intellectual property rights incorporated within the Goods or the results of any Services are transferred to the Customer unless otherwise agreed.

 8.2 - Until such monies have been paid:

              (a) the Customer will keep the Goods separate from any other goods in the Customer's possession, and properly stored, protected and insured, and identified as Track's property;

              (b) all sums received from any insurance claim made in respect of loss or damage to the Goods shall be treated as if they were proceeds of sale and held by you on the same terms as those set out in clause 8.2(d) below, and the Customer will also hold on trust for us and, if required by us, assign to us the benefit of any insurance claim made in respect of the Goods;

              (c) if any part of the Goods shall become incorporated into any other property so as to lose its separate identity then those other goods shall be separately stored and marked so as to be identifiable as being made from or with the Goods;

              (d) where the Goods are sold to the Customer as inventory for resale, the Customer may resell them in the normal course of business at full market value provided that until Track receives payment in full: (i) the resale shall be as principal in relation to the Customer's sub-buyer but, as between the Customer and Track, the Customer shall deal with the Goods for and on behalf of Track and in every respect as a fiduciary and agent and (ii) the proceeds of sale shall be held by the Customer on trust for and on behalf of Track in a separate account;

              (e) we may, at any time, require the Customer to deliver the Goods (which have not been resold) to us and, if the Customer fails to do so, our employees and agents may enter any premises where the Goods might be stored and recover them, and the Customer agrees to indemnify us, on demand, against any liability incurred by us in our exercise of this right.
