Terms of Service

Terms & Conditions

General
These conditions of sale form part of quotation made by us and also apply to the sale of all items included in the current catalogue. These conditions of sale are binding and no variation or cancellation will be accepted unless agreed to by us in writing. These terms and conditions govern each supply of goods by Euro Tooltechnic to the Dealer from time to time and shall prevail over any other terms contained in any other document (including without limitation any Dealer purchase order).

Validity
Unless otherwise stated by us in writing, any quotation will be valid for 30 days from the date of quotation. Prior to the receipt of acceptance, the quotation is subject to change or withdrawal by us in writing.

Scope
The quotation includes only those goods and services as specified therein. Goods offered ex-stock are subject to prior sale. Delivery times quoted are approximate only and actual delivery times should be determined at the time of placement of an order.

Information and Drawings
All descriptive specifications, illustrations, drawings, data, dimensions and weights contained in our catalogues and literature are typical only and are subject to change without notice. These details do not form part of a quotation unless specified by us in writing.

Packing
All products will be packaged to our normal standard practice. Variation to this packaging will be charged for and form part of our quotation.

Prices
Prices charged are the prices relevant at the date of dispatch unless written arrangement has been made for price variation. Where prices have been quoted on a quantity purchase we reserve the right to re-negotiate the quoted prices if the total quantity is varied.

GST & Government Imposts
The prices quoted do not include GST and government imposts unless specifically stated in writing in the quotation. The Dealer shall be liable to pay any such GST or other government imposts.

Terms of Payment
When a credit account has been established with us all prices are strictly net and are payable 30 days after the end of the month in which the invoice was raised, irrespective of when the order was received by the customer, unless stated otherwise in quotation or agreed to in writing. Monies due to us are payable without set-off, counterclaim or deduction except as required by law.

We reserve the right to refuse extension of credit. Euro Tooltechnic Pty Ltd subscribes to the credit reporting provider Dun and Bradstreet and reserves the right to notify this entity if credit account terms are breached.

Interest and Collection Costs

If you default in payment of any invoice when due, you shall be liable to pay interest to us on the balance outstanding at the rate determined from time to time by the Reserve Bank to be the cash rate target, plus 4%, and you shall indemnify us as a continuing indemnity and hold Euro Tooltechnic harmless from and against all costs and disbursements including debt collection costs incurred for the recovery of debt on your account.

Warranty
Warranty conditions are subject to clearance reason. Specific details can be viewed on our Refund Policy.

Should Tool items become defective due to faulty design, workmanship or materials within (12) calendar months of date of invoice then we will make good by repair or at our discretion by the replacement of the faulty goods.

This warranty is void if the product is used outside specification, is modified, subject to excessive wear, or is used for a purpose for which it is not designed. The warranty covers repair or replacement and dispatch to the point of original delivery free of charge. Except as specifically provided in these Conditions of Sale all other conditions and warranties are to the extent permitted by law excluded.

Liability of Euro Tooltechnic
Notwithstanding of any other provision of this contract we shall not (to the extent permitted by law) be liable for any indirect or consequential loss (including any loss of profit or of contract) however arising or for any other injury, damage or loss, save as expressly provided in the contract. For the avoidance of any doubt, no provision of this contract shall have effect as, or be taken to be, a term referred to in Section 276A(4) of the Australian Consumer Law ("ACL") imposing on Euro Tooltechnic a liability greater than that mentioned in Section 276A(1) of the ACL in circumstances where Section 276A(1) of the ACL operates to limit Euro Tooltechnic's liability under Section 274 of the ACL.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction
Except as may otherwise agreed by us, the contract shall be governed by the laws of the State of Victoria and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of that State including those having appellate jurisdiction.

Variation
If an order is varied then the variation must be accepted by us in writing and we shall be indemnified against any loss or damage incurred by you.

Retention of Title
All goods supplied by us to you remain our property until all debts owing by you to us have been paid and notwithstanding that payments may be made for the purpose of settlement of specifically designated claims. Until payment of all debts owing as aforesaid, you may sell the goods in the ordinary course of your business (but not otherwise without our prior written consent), as our fiduciary bailee, and may for the purpose of such a sale part with possession of the goods. The proceeds of such resale insofar as they relate to the goods shall be held on trust for us in a separate account. The goods shall be at your risk whilst in transit to you and on delivery and you shall, at your cost, insure the goods in our name against such risks as a prudent owner of the goods would insure, and for their full insurable value.

These provisions apply notwithstanding any arrangement under which we provide credit to you. To the extent there is any inconsistency, these provisions prevail. We may recover the price of the goods by action if the goods are not paid within our usual credit terms or any separate arrangement for credit made with us, notwithstanding that property in the goods has not passed to you.

Until payment of all debts owing to us, you must store the goods separately and so that they are readily identifiable as our property, and we may (to the extent permitted by law), without prejudice to any of our other rights, without prior notice, retake and resume possession of any goods which remain our property and, we or our servants and agents may enter upon your premises, or any other place where the goods may be for that purpose, if:

  • goods are not paid for within our usual credit terms;
  • there is any other breach by you of any contract between you and us;
  • you commence to be wound up or are placed under any form of external administration under the Corporations Act; or
  • you part with possession of the goods or any of them otherwise than by sale to a customer in the ordinary course of business.

Any amounts payable (but not yet due) become immediately due if any of the above events takes place.
