Terms of Trade

1 Defined Terms

Unless the context otherwise requires:

“Goods” means all goods supplied from time to time to you by a member of NZMT, provided that:

(a) where the goods supplied are your Inventory, then all references to Goods in these Terms shall be read as references to Inventory; and

(b) where the goods supplied are not Inventory then all references to Goods in these Terms shall mean the goods described in any one or more of the relevant order form, packing slip or invoice (or its equivalent, whatever called) relating to those goods, on the basis that each such document shall be deemed to be incorporated in, and form part of, these Terms.

“NZMT” means NZ Marine Turbochargers Ltd. and each of its subsidiaries and related parties from time to time and includes any one or more of them or any combination of any of them (whether or not acting jointly and/or severally).

“Inventory” has the meaning given to that term in the PPSA.

“PPSA” means the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 as amended or substituted from time to time.

“Service(s)” means any service work, advice or other services provided to you by NZMT

“Supplier” means, in relation to particular Goods or Services, the relevant business entity of NZMT that supplies those Goods or Services.

Unless the context otherwise requires, words and phrases shall have the meanings given to them in, or by virtue of, the PPSA.

2 Terms of contract

Any Goods or Services supplied to you shall be subject to these Terms unless the Supplier agrees in writing to change them. If you accept delivery of Goods from any member of NZMT, or deliver Goods to any member of NZMT for repairs or servicing, those actions by you will be deemed to be acceptance of these Terms, notwithstanding anything that may be stated to the contrary in your enquiries or your order. These Terms do not apply to any Goods sold to you on hire purchase or leased to you by any member of NZMT.

3 Price

3.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing all freight, insurance, delivery and travel charges will be additional to any price quoted. Unless otherwise agreed in writing any quoted price may be altered prior to delivery of Goods to you, or before completion of repairs or services by the Supplier, if its costs fluctuate materially. The Supplier may withdraw any quotation before it is accepted and, in any event, any quotation will lapse without notice 14 days after it is given. GST will be payable by you as an additional amount on all prices and charges.

3.2 The price for Goods and Services will be either as quoted to you in writing or, if no written quote is provided, pursuant to the Supplier’s standard charges applying at the time.

4 Payment

4.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing you must pay for services or parts by the 20th day of the month following the date of the invoice relating to those Goods or Services.

4.2 If full payment for the Goods or Services is not made on the due date, then without prejudice to any other remedies available to any member of NZMT:

(a) All monies owing to each member of NZMT shall become immediately due and payable;

(b) Each member of NZMT may cancel or withhold supply of further Goods or Services;

(c) Interest on monies overdue shall be charged on a monthly basis and be calculated at a rate of 2%  above the overdraft rate charged to NZMT by its banker, of the outstanding balance per month, and interest shall continue to accrue both before and after judgment. You shall be responsible for all costs incurred by any member of NZMT in recovering such monies.

4.3 Each member of NZMT shall have a full right of set-off with respect to amounts owed by you to it under these Terms, in relation to any monies owing by any member of NZMT to you howsoever arising. Your obligation under these Terms shall be to pay the full amount owing under these Terms free of all deductions or rights of set off.

5 Ownership and Security Interest

5.1 Ownership in the Goods shall not pass upon delivery, but shall remain with the Supplier until full payment for all monies owing by you to the Supplier has been made. Until all monies owing by you to the Supplier have been paid:

(a) You hold the Goods supplied as fiduciary for the Supplier and will deal with them as agent for and on behalf of the Supplier (but will not hold yourself out as agent of the Supplier to any third parties);

(b) You shall store the Goods separately consistent with the Goods being the Supplier’s property, and ensure such Goods are able to be separately identified;

(c) If you resell the Goods supplied, the proceeds of any resale will belong to the Supplier and you will pay the same into a separate account for which separate records are kept and all claims which you hold against third parties will be handed over to the Supplier;

(d) You irrevocably give the Supplier and its agents the right to enter your premises to remove any of the Goods supplied and resell them;

(e) If any of the Goods become part of a product or mass (through or by whatever process) such that the identity of those Goods is lost in the product or mass, the security interest created by this clause continues in the product or mass in accordance with the PPSA.

(f) If any of the Goods are installed in, or affixed to, and become an accession to, other goods, the security interest continues in the accession in accordance with the PPSA.

6 Liens

All Goods delivered to or in the Supplier’s possession for repair or servicing are subject to a lien for any sums owing by you to the Supplier for repairs or servicing carried out on the Goods. Where the Supplier retains a lien over any of your Goods and you are more than three months overdue with any monies owing, the Supplier without further notice may sell the Goods in such a manner and such

terms as it thinks fit and may, from sale proceeds, repay the amounts owing to it for work done, and any expenses of sale.

7 Risk and Delivery

7.1 Unless otherwise agreed, you shall be responsible for the cost of and arranging transportation of all Goods. If the Supplier or any other member of NZMT is delivering the Goods to you, it will use its best endeavours to see that deliveries are made according to schedule, but shall not be responsible for delivery delays due to causes beyond its control.

7.2 Risk in respect of the Goods sold shall pass to you when the Goods are delivered to you or your carrier, or the time you pay for the

Goods, whichever is the earlier. Risk in the Goods in the Supplier’s possession for servicing remains with you. It is your responsibility to

insure the Goods, even if a member of NZMT has arranged transportation of the Goods.

10 General Terms

10.1 Mediation

If a dispute arises and the Supplier considers the dispute is one which is suitable for mediation, the parties will try to settle the dispute by mediation before resorting to litigation or arbitration. Any party may initiate mediation by giving written notice to the other.

You may not cancel any order for Goods or part of it without the Supplier’s written consent. If you do so, in addition to any other rights the Supplier may have, the Supplier may retain any deposit paid. The Supplier shall have the right to cancel any orders for Goods which

it has accepted, if due to circumstances beyond the Supplier’s control it would be impractical or unreasonable to fill the order, if any information supplied by you is materially incorrect or, if in the Supplier’s opinion, a satisfactory servicing or repair cannot be achieved.

10.3 Waiver or variation

Waiver or variation of these Terms by any member of NZMT will only be effective if given in writing by an authorised person.
