1. Application of conditions

  1. These Conditions apply to and are incorporated into the Contract and apply to the exclusion of any other terms that the Buyer seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing, including any terms or conditions contained in or referred to in the Buyer's Order.
  2. No addition to, variation of, exclusion or attempted exclusion of any of these Conditions will be binding on Transmax unless in writing and signed by a duly authorised representative of Transmax.
  3. The Order constitutes an offer by the Buyer to purchase the Goods in accordance with these Conditions. The Order will only be deemed to be accepted when Transmax issues a written acceptance of the Order or Transmax delivers the Goods to the Buyer (whichever occurs earlier), at which point the Contract will come into existence.
  4. A quotation for the Goods provided by Transmax will not constitute an offer. A quotation will only be valid for a period of 30 business days from its date of issue, unless otherwise stated on the quotation.
  5. Transmax reserves the right to charge a non-refundable deposit payable on acceptance of the Order.
  6. No Order which has been accepted by Transmax may be cancelled by the Buyer, except with the agreement in writing of Transmax and provided that the Buyer indemnifies Transmax in full against all loss, costs, damages, charges and expenses incurred by Transmax as a result of cancellation.

  1. All prices will be as stated in Transmax's quotation or in Transmax’s acceptance of the Order.
  2. All quotations or Orders will include shipping and GST, unless specified otherwise.
  3. The price for the Goods is based on the rate prevailing at the date of Transmax's quotation or Transmax’s acceptance of the Order. Transmax may, by giving notice to the Buyer at any time up to 7 business days before delivery, increase the price of the Goods to reflect any increase in the cost of the Goods that is due to:
    1. any factor beyond Transmax's control (including foreign exchange fluctuations, increases in taxes and duties, and increases in labour, materials and other manufacturing costs);
    2. any request by the Buyer to change the delivery date(s), quantities or types of Goods ordered;
    3. any delay caused by any instructions of the Buyer or failure of the Buyer to give Transmax adequate or accurate information or instructions.

  7. Transmax reserves the right (but does not assume the obligation) to make any changes in the specification of the Goods which are required to conform with any applicable legislation or, where the Goods are to be supplied to the Buyer's specification, which do not materially affect their quality or performance.
  8. Transmax’s employees, contractors and agents are not authorised to make any representations or contractually binding statements concerning the Goods.


 

3. Delivery and acceptance

  1. Transmax will use its reasonable endeavours to deliver the Goods on the date or dates specified in Transmax's quotation or Transmax’s acceptance of the Order, but any such date is approximate only.

  4. Transmax may deliver the Goods by separate instalments. Each separate instalment will be invoiced and paid for in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Contract. Each instalment will be a separate Contract and no cancellation or termination by either party of any one Contract relating to an instalment shall entitle the Buyer to repudiate or cancel any other Contract or instalment.
  5. Delivery of the Goods will be completed on the Goods' arrival at the Delivery Location.
  6. Time is not of the essence as to the delivery of the Goods and Transmax is not in any circumstances liable for any delay in delivery, however caused.

    1. terminate the Contract or suspend any further deliveries of Goods (whether ordered under the same contract or not) to the Buyer;
    2. suspend all further manufacture, delivery, installation or warranty service until payment has been made in full, and;
    3. charge interest on the amount outstanding from the due date to the date of receipt by Transmax (whether or not after judgment), at the annual rate of 4% per annum above the 60 day Bank Bill Swap Reference Rate last published on or before the due date for payment in The Australian Financial Review (or if that rate has not been published, another rate to be agreed by the parties), accruing on a daily basis and being compounded quarterly until payment is made, whether before or after any judgment;
  4. All sums payable to Transmax under the Contract will become due immediately on its termination, despite any other provision of the Contract.

  1. The Goods will be at the risk of Transmax until delivery to the Buyer at the Delivery Location.
  2. Title of the Goods will pass to the Buyer on the later of completion of delivery (including without limitation off-loading), or when Transmax has received in full in cleared funds all sums due to it in respect of the Goods.
  3. Until title of the Goods has passed to the Buyer under clause 5 (b), the Buyer will hold the Goods on a fiduciary basis as Transmax's bailee; store the Goods in satisfactory conditions and separately from all the Buyer's other goods or that of a third party, so that it remains readily identifiable as Transmax's property; not destroy, deface or obscure any identifying mark or packaging on or relating to the Goods; and keep the Goods insured for its full price against all risks with a reputable insurer and hold the proceeds of such insurance on trust for Transmax.
  4. The Buyer's right to possession of the Goods before title has passed to it will terminate immediately if any of the circumstances set out in clause 14 (Termination) arise or if the Buyer encumbers or in any way charges the Goods, or if the Buyer fails to make any payment to Transmax on the due date.
  5. The Buyer grants Transmax, its agents and employees an irrevocable licence at any time to enter any premises where the Goods are or may be stored in order to inspect them, or where the Buyer's right to possession has terminated, to remove them. All costs incurred by Transmax in repossessing the Goods will be borne by the Buyer.
  6. On termination of the Contract for any reason, Transmax's (not the Buyer's) rights in this clause 5 will remain in effect.


 

6. Personal property security

  1. If Transmax determines that the Contract (or a transaction in connection with it) is or contains a security interest for the purposes of the PPSA, the Buyer agrees to do anything (such as obtaining consents, signing and producing documents, getting documents completed and signed and supplying information) which Transmax asks and considers necessary for the purposes of:
    1. ensuring that the security interest is enforceable, perfected (including, where possible, by control in addition to registration) and otherwise effective; or
    2. enabling the Company to apply for any registration, or give any notification, in connection with the security interest so that the security interest has the priority required by the Company; or

8. Third Party Software and Hardware Warranty

All third party hardware supplied by Transmax is provided under the manufacturer’s supply and warranty conditions. Transmax does not provide any additional supply or warranty conditions in relation to these sales. Transmax will pass on to you all relevant supply and warranty information provided to us by the relevant manufacturer of the hardware.

Your use, rights and obligations in respect of third party software is governed by its applicable End User License Agreement (“EULA”), unless it is varied by agreement between the parties to that EULA. You agree to execute and be bound by the terms of the third party software owner’s EULA. You accept the third party software owner’s warranty in relation to the third party software. Transmax do not provide any warranty in relation to third party software.

Goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under Australian Consumer Law. The Customer is entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. The Customer is also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure;

To claim this warranty, the Customer must inform Transmax (via the RMA process) within the warranty time period specified by the hardware manufacturer / third party owner. Transmax will assist the Customer with claiming the warranty from the third party manufacturer or owner.

The third party manufacturer’s warranty will provide details as to who will bear the expense of claiming the warranty and (if applicable) how the customer can claim expenses incurred in making the claim. The benefits to the consumer given by the warranty are in addition to other rights and remedies of the consumer under a law in relation to the goods or services to which the warranty relates.

Integration Warranty

You accept the relevant third party warranties in relation to integration, compatibility or interoperability of products with other hardware and software. Transmax do not provide any warranty in relation to the integration, compatibility or interoperability of hardware or software from third parties.

Assistance with hardware, third party maintenance contract and third party software functionality Issues

Any issues or problems with any hardware, third party maintenance contract or third party software functionality including, but not limited to, warranty claims, may be resolved between you and the relevant manufacturer directly, subject to the terms of the third party manufacturer’s warranty or maintenance provider or EULA, as the case may be. Transmax where possible will provide incidental and reasonable assistance to you during this process. Where you request assistance of us outside of the warranty claims process, we reserve the right (and you agree to accept this reservation) to charge you directly for such intervention, on a time and materials basis.

Exclusion of all other warranties

To the extent permitted by law, and except as set out in these conditions: Transmax;

  1. provides the Goods to you on an “AS IS” basis;

  3. limits the remedies available for a breach of any warranty given to you to the lesser of and to the extent that such breach of warranty is capable of remedy by employing commercially reasonable efforts (as determined by us acting reasonably and in good faith), the cost of repairing or replacing those goods; or paying the cost of having those goods repaired or replaced.
