(b) the Goods are supplied by AHPC in accordance with the order; or

(c) Orders via web portal have been completed after checking the terms and conditions agreement check box and the customer has submitted a purchase order reference.

An acceptance of the order by AHPC is then to be an acceptance of these conditions of sale by AHPC and the Customer and these Terms and Conditions will override any conditions contained in the Customer’s order. AHPC reserves the right to accept a part only of any order by notifying the Customer in writing or by delivering the goods to the Customer. No order shall be binding on AHPC until accepted by it.

An order which has been accepted in whole or in part by AHPC cannot be cancelled

2. PRICES

All prices are subject to change without notice and all orders are accepted for delivery on the condition that goods will be invoiced at the prices ruling at the date that the goods are due for despatch.

3. PAYMENTS

Payment for goods and costs shall be made by the Customer so that AHPC receives monies on or before the last working day of the month following invoice date.

Should the customer default in making any payment then AHPC shall have the right to:

(b) withhold further deliveries or cancel a contract without prejudice to any of its existing rights.

Goods and Services Tax (GST) will be shown separately in the account for the sale of the goods and the provision for service.

The Customer must indemnify AHPC in respect of GST paid and payable by AHPC in respect of the supply of the goods and of the service.

5. RETURNS

Goods may be returned by prior arrangement only, other than in the case of warranty or consumer guarantee claims. A restocking charge of up to 25% of the invoice price may be charged at AHPC’s discretion, to offset AHPC costs in any quality rechecking, packaging and administrative costs of such returns.

6. DELIVERY DELAYS

The times quoted for delivery are estimates only and AHPC accepts no liability for failure or delay in delivery of goods. The Customer is not relieved of any obligation to accept or pay for goods by reason of any delay in delivery. Goods may be delivered by instalments at the discretion of AHPC. Risk in accepting the goods passes to the Customer on delivery, which occurs when the goods are delivered to the Customer’s premises as indicated on the order.

7. TITLE OF GOODS

Risk in the goods shall pass upon delivery but title to the goods shall remain with AHPC until all monies owing by the Customer to AHPC have been paid in full, whether such monies are in respect of the monies payable under a specific contract or on any other account whatsoever and until such time the Customer shall, if so required by AHPC, store the goods in a manner which clearly indicates that the goods are owned by AHPC and the Customer shall in any event hold the goods as bailee thereof subject nevertheless to its right to deal with the goods in the ordinary course of its business on the basis that any monies received as result of such dealing shall be held by the Customer in a separate account for the benefit of AHPC. In the event that the Customer does so deal with the goods but does not obtain payment therefore the Customer shall, at AHPC’s request, assign to AHPC any debt owing to the Customer in relation to such dealing and the Customer hereby irrevocably appoints AHPC as its attorney with all powers permitted by law for the purpose of perfecting any such assignment and to effect a recovery of any such debt in the name of the Customer for the benefit of AHPC.
