      3. on-line ordering may be unavailable from time to time for regularly scheduled maintenance and/or upgrades;
      4. there are inherent hazards in electronic distribution, and as such NT cannot warrant against delays or errors in transmitting data between the Client and NT including orders, and you agree that to the maximum extent permitted by law, NT will not be liable for any losses which the Client suffers as a result of online-ordering not being available or for delays or errors in transmitting orders;
      5. when making a transaction through the website, the Client’s information will pass through a secure server using SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption technology or any other similar technology as disclosed by NT and/or displayed on the website.

  1. Price and Payment
    1. At NT’s sole discretion the Price shall be either:
      1. as indicated on any invoice provided by NT to the Client; or
      2. the Price as at the date of Delivery of the Goods according to NT’s current price list; or
      3. NT’s quoted price (subject to clause 9.2) which will be valid for the period stated in the quotation or otherwise for a period of thirty (30) days.
    2. NT reserves the right to change the Price:
      1. if a variation to NT’s quotation is requested; or
      2. if during the course of the Services, the Goods cease to be available from NT’s third party suppliers, then NT reserves the right to provide alternative Goods, subject to prior confirmation and agreement of  both parties; or
      3. in the event of increases to NT in the cost of labour or materials (including, but not limited to, overseas transactions that may increase as a consequence of variations in foreign currency rates of exchange and/or international freight and insurance charges) which are beyond NT’s control.
    3. Variations will be charged for on the basis of NT’s quotation, and will be detailed in writing, and shown as variations on NT’s invoice. The Client shall be required to respond to any variation submitted by NT within ten (10) working days. Failure to do so will entitle NT to add the cost of the variation to the Price. Payment for all variations must be made in full at the time of their completion.
    4. At NT’s sole discretion a non-refundable deposit may be required. 
    5. Time for payment for the Goods being of the essence, the Price will be payable by the Client on the date/s determined by NT, which may be:
      1. on or before delivery of the Goods; 
      2. the date specified on any invoice or other form as being the date for payment; or
      3. failing any notice to the contrary, the date which is seven (7) days following the date of any invoice given to the Client by NT. 
    6. Payment may be made by electronic/on-line banking, credit card (a surcharge per transaction may apply), or by any other method as agreed to between the Client and NT.
    7. NT may in its discretion allocate any payment received from the Client towards any invoice that NT determines and may do so at the time of receipt or at any time afterwards. On any default by the Client NT may re-allocate any payments previously received and allocated. In the absence of any payment allocation by NT, payment will be deemed to be allocated in such manner as preserves the maximum value of NT’s Purchase Money Security Interest (as defined in the PPSA) in the Goods.
    8. The Client shall not be entitled to set off against, or deduct from the Price, any sums owed or claimed to be owed to the Client by NT nor to withhold payment of any invoice because part of that invoice is in dispute.
    9. Unless otherwise stated the Price does not include GST. In addition to the Price, the Client must pay to NT an amount equal to any GST NT must pay for any supply by NT under this or any other contract for the sale of the Goods. The Client must pay GST, without deduction or set off of any other amounts, at the same time and on the same basis as the Client pays the Price. In addition, the Client must pay any other taxes and duties that may be applicable in addition to the Price except where they are expressly included in the Price.

 

  1. Delivery of Goods
    1. Delivery (“Delivery”) of the Goods is taken to occur at the time that:

    3. NT may deliver the Goods in separate instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid in accordance with the provisions in these terms and conditions.
    4. Any time specified by NT for Delivery of the Goods is an estimate only. The Client must take Delivery by receipt or collection of the Goods whenever they are tendered for Delivery.

    1. Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods passes to the Client on Delivery and the Client must insure the Goods on or before Delivery.
    2. If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed following Delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Client, NT is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Goods. The production of these terms and conditions by NT is sufficient evidence of NT’s rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with NT to make further enquiries. 
    3. If the Client requests NT to leave Goods outside NT’s premises for collection or to deliver the Goods to an unattended location then such Goods shall be left at the Client’s sole risk.

Without prejudice to the foregoing it is also the Client’s responsibility to provide safe facilities for the reception of the Goods into storage including the unloading of Goods from carriers. The Client hereby indemnifies and shall keep indemnified NT against all action claims, demands, summons, suits proceedings judgments, orders or decrees arising out of or in connection with any act or omission of the Client in respect of its obligations pursuant to this clause.

  1. General
    1. Any dispute or difference arising as to the interpretation of these terms and conditions or as to any matter arising herein, shall be submitted to, and settled by, mediation before resorting to any external dispute resolution mechanisms (including arbitration or court proceedings) by notifying the other party in writing setting out the reason for the dispute. The parties shall share equally the mediator’s fees. Should mediation fail to resolve the dispute, the parties shall be free to pursue other dispute resolution avenues. 
    2. The failure by either party to enforce any provision of these terms and conditions shall not be treated as a waiver of that provision, nor shall it affect that party’s right to subsequently enforce that provision. If any provision of these terms and conditions shall be invalid, void, illegal or unenforceable the validity, existence, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected, prejudiced or impaired.
    3. These terms and conditions and any contract to which they apply shall be governed by the laws of New Zealand and are subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Te Awamutu, New Zealand.
    4. Subject to the CGA, NT shall be under no liability whatsoever to the Client for any indirect and/or consequential loss and/or expense (including loss of profit) suffered by the Client arising out of a breach by NT of these terms and conditions (alternatively NT’s liability shall be limited to damages which under no circumstances shall exceed the Price of the Goods).

    8. The Client agrees that NT may amend their general terms and conditions for subsequent future contracts with the Client by disclosing such to the Client in writing. These changes shall be deemed to take effect from the date on which the Client accepts such changes, or otherwise at such time as the Client makes a further request for NT to provide Goods to the Client.
