6.3 The Customer must determine whether the Products and services requested by the Customer and to be supplied by the Seller are adequate for the purpose intended by the Customer.

1)    the Products and services supplied by the Seller come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the ACL;

2)    the Customer is entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable Loss; and

3)    the Customer is also entitled to have Products supplied by the Seller repaired or replaced if the Products fail to be of acceptable quality but the failure does not amount to a major failure.

12.1 In any case, the amount of the Seller’s liability to payment of compensation is limited to a maximum of the total amount of the Order actually paid for by the Customer.

12.2 If the ACL applies to the relevant relationship between us and you, then we are not permitted to exclude our liability for consequential loss or damage and do not attempt to do so.  Other than in relation to the any specific product warranties which the Seller has stated on the Website, to the extent permitted by the ACL and by law generally, we exclude all conditions and warranties to the full extent permitted by law (including in respect of merchantability or fitness for any purpose).

12.3 To the extent permitted by the ACL and by law generally, we will be under no liability whatsoever to you and/or any third party for any indirect, special, consequential or exemplary Loss or Claim or personal injury suffered by you and/or any third party directly or indirectly in connection with the Products and services or directly or indirectly arising out of the Agreement or otherwise from the relationship between us and you and any third party, and whether actionable in contract, tort (including negligence), equity or otherwise.  In addition to each other limitation which applies to the relationship between us and you, we are only required to:

1)    either replace or repair Products or reimburse you for the repair or replacement of the Products (at our election);

2)    either re-supply services or reimburse you for paying someone else to supply the services (at our election);

and our liability is limited to those obligations. If the ACL applies to the relevant relationship between us and you, then this clause only applies in relation to Products and services which are not used for personal, domestic or household purposes.

Any liability of the Seller to the Customer will also be reduced to the extent that the Customer or any other person contributed to the Loss.

 

13. waiver

The failure of either Party to enforce any provision of these T&Cs shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation of that Party’s right to subsequently enforce and compel strict compliance with every provision of these T&Cs.

 

14. severability

If a provision of these T&Cs is determined by any court or other competent authority to be unlawful and/or unenforceable, the other provisions will continue in effect. If any unlawful and/or unenforceable provision would be lawful or enforceable if part of it were deleted, that part will be deemed to be deleted, and the rest of the provision will continue in effect.

No provision in the T&Cs is to be construed to the disadvantage of the Seller merely because the Seller has prepared and proposed these T&Cs.

 

15. governing law

These T&Cs will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law in Queensland, Australia and any disputes relating to these T&Cs will be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland.

You agree that you must not make claims about our Products or services in public, in the market generally, or to third parties, especially including customers of yours to whom you may resupply our Products or services, unless those claims are completely consistent with actual facts and with any specifications and other information which we may make available in relation to our Products and services. 

You agree that you must not purchase any of our Products in order to use any item or product forming part of our Products as a ‘loss leader’ – for example, you may not acquire any item or goods forming part of our Products with the intention of selling that item or goods below its cost, in order to promote your business and to attract customers who are likely to purchase other goods or services from you.  We do not agree to provide our Products for that purpose and are not required to do so.
