FRONT FOOT VENTURES LTD 

TERMS OF TRADE – CONSUMER

In these Terms of Trade we have used “we”, “us” and “our” to refer to FRONT FOOT VENTURES LTD and “you” to refer to our customer. By ordering goods and/or services from us you agree to these Terms 

1. DELIVERY
   1.1 Unless we agree otherwise, Goods must be collected from our premises.
   1.2 If we have given you a time for collection of the Goods (or any part of them), such time is approximate only and is not deemed to be of the essence.
   1.3 If you arrange collection by a carrier, delivery occurs upon delivery of the Goods to your nominated carrier.
2. TITLE AND RISK
   2.1 We shall retain title to Goods we supply until they have been paid for in full and you have performed all your other obligations under these Terms.
   2.2 Risk in all Goods passes to you when the Goods are collected. You shall insure Goods for their full price, and shall not sell, dispose or part with possession of them or do anything else inconsistent with our ownership of the Goods, from collection until title in them passes to you.
3. PRICE
   3.1 All prices are plus GST and other taxes and duties, which shall be paid by you.
   3.2 Our prices are subject to change without notice.
   3.3 Unless we agree otherwise in writing and subject to clause 3.4, the amount you will be charged will be the price as at the date of collection.
   3.4 In the event that the price of the Goods increases between the date you placed an order with us and the date of collection by more than 10%, you will be entitled to cancel the order. If you do not cancel the order within 24 hours of being notified of the increase in price, you will be liable to pay the increased price. This clause does not apply where you have expressly acknowledged that the price of the Goods may increase.
   3.5 If we provide a quotation to you, it is based on information available to us at that time and we may charge you more than the amount quoted if our costs (eg the amount we pay for the Goods or any part of them or the cost of transport, tax, exchange rates or other costs) or the specifications change. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, prices are quoted exclusive of GST.
4. PAYMENT
   4.1 You must pay for Goods on their collection, unless we decide otherwise.
   4.2 Where we have supplied Services, you must pay for the performance of the Services on collection of the goods upon which the Services were performed, unless we decide otherwise.
   4.3 We are under no obligation to supply Goods and/or Services to you on credit. If we grant you credit, you agree to pay our invoices by the 20th of the month following the date of the invoice.
   4.4 You agree to give any securities as we may from time to time require, in the form required by us, and to comply with all of your obligations under those securities.
   4.5 We may notify you at any time that we are going to stop supplying Goods and/or Services to you on credit. This shall be without prejudice to your obligation to pay amounts owing.
   4.6 All payments shall be made without set-off or deduction. Receipt of a cheque, bill of exchange, or other negotiable instrument will not constitute payment and you remain liable for payment until payment is received by us.
   4.7 We may apportion payments to outstanding accounts as we see fit.
5. PERFORMANCE OF WORK
   5.1 We will:
   (a) perform the Services with reasonable skill, care and diligence in a professional manner;
   (b) endeavour to ensure that the Services are performed in accordance with any time frames agreed in writing with you;
   (c) liaise with you during the course of performing the Services in accordance with your reasonable requirements.
   5.2 You will give reasonable assistance to enable us to perform the Services by:
   (a) giving clear instructions;
   (b) promptly providing any information or content required from you for us to complete the Services;
   (c) ensuring that the Services and products derived from the Services are fit for the purpose you intend to use them for and meet any appropriate statutory, regulatory, governmental and industry and environmental controls, standards or practices.
   5.3 If we have given you a time frame for completion of the Services, unless agreed in writing to the contrary such time frame is approximate only and is not deemed to be of the essence of the contract.
6. DEFAULT
   6.1 You will be in Default if:
   (a) you fail to pay an amount due under these Terms by the due date for payment; or
   (b) you commit a breach of any of your other obligations under these Terms, the Security or the terms of any other contract you have entered into, or enter into in the future, with us or one of our related entities; or
   (c) you become insolvent, are wound up, have a receiver appointed, enter into any composition or arrangement with your creditors, do any act which would render you liable to be placed in liquidation or have a receiver appointed over your property, commit an act of bankruptcy, cease to be of full legal capacity, or die;
   (d) Goods that we have retained title to are at risk; or
   (e) an event or a series of events (whether related or not) occurs which, in our opinion, may cause a material adverse change in your ability to meet your obligations to us.
   6.2 If you are in Default then we may, at our option, do any one or more of the following:
   (a) charge you default interest at 12% per annum on any late payments calculated on a daily basis from the due date until the date payment is received;
   (b) require you to remedy the default in the manner and within a period that we tell you;
   (c) require you to pay to us all amounts you owe us immediately;
   (d) suspend or terminate your account with us;
   (e) enforce security interests created by these Terms;
   (f) exercise any rights that we have under these Terms or that are available to us at law.
   6.3 We may suspend or terminate your account with us at any time in our sole discretion. If your account is terminated, you must immediately pay us any amount you owe us. Termination will not affect any of our rights that have arisen before termination.
7. PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITIES ACT 1999 (“PPSA”)
   7.1 Clause 2.1 creates a security interest in Goods we supply to you.
   7.2 You shall not grant any other security interest or any lien over Goods that we have a security interest in.

   7.4 We may at any time enter your premises and properties to uplift Goods that we have a security interest in.
   7.5 If Goods that we have a security interest in are processed, included or dealt with in any way causing them to become accessions, processed or commingled Goods, our security interest will continue in the whole in which they are included. You shall not grant any other security interest or any lien in either the Goods or in the whole.
   7.6 You waive any rights you may have under sections 114(1)(a),
   116, 120(2), 121, 125, 129, 131, and 133 of the PPSA.

   9.2 To the extent that we are liable for any reason for any loss suffered or liability incurred by you arising from any breach of these Terms or for any other reason, such liability is limited to the amount of the price of the Goods and/or Services concerned. If Goods are returned by you, or if you make a claim in writing to us in relation to Goods provided, we may, in our discretion, repair or replace the Goods, or refund the price of those Goods to you, provided that:

   (b) you must supply the date and number of any invoice relating to the Goods; and
   (c) we must be given a reasonable opportunity to inspect the Goods.

    jurisdiction of the Courts of New Zealand in respect of any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms.
15. DISPUTES
    15.1 Any claim or dispute arising under these Terms shall be determined by arbitration under the Arbitration Act 1996 if the parties are unable to resolve such dispute themselves within one (1) month of the dispute arising. However, nothing in this clause prevents either party from taking immediate steps to seek any equitable relief before the New Zealand courts.

    the termination or expiration of these Terms of Trade or completion of the Work.

    18.3 If you have entered into these Terms as the trustee of a trust and you have no right to or interest in any of the assets of the trust except in your capacity as trustee of the trust, your liability shall be limited to the value of the assets of the trust which now or in the future are (or, but for your wilful neglect or default, would be) in the hands of the trustees for the time being of the trust. This clause does not limit any liability you have to us as a personal guarantor.
    18.4 No failure or delay by us in insisting upon the strict performance of these Terms or exercising any right under these Terms will operate as a waiver of those matters.
