Standard Terms of Trade

FUJIFILM Australia Pty Ltd
STANDARD TERMS OF TRADE
Effective May 2004
All goods and services are sold and supplied by FUJIFILM Australia Pty Ltd ABN 80 000 064 433
(hereinafter referred to as "the Company") on the following terms:

1. Orders

  1. Each order is subject to acceptance by the Company.
  2. Goods supplied in accordance with customer's order cannot be returned for credit.

2. Prices

  1. The prices charged shall be those prices prescribed by the Company at date of despatch.
  2. Recommended resale or retail prices appearing in any price list are recommended prices only and there is no obligation to comply with such recommendations.
  3. Unless otherwise advised by the Company in writing:
    1. prices do not include GST and other taxes (which if payable shall be to the customer's account) nor installation;
    2. prices shall include delivery to the metropolitan areas of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Hobart. The additional cost of delivery to other areas shall be at the customer's cost.
  4. If a goods and services tax or similar value added tax ("GST") is levied in respect of any supply made under or in connection with these Terms of Trade, the amount payable for that supply will be increased by the rate of GST. The recipient of any such payments shall issue a GST tax invoice or any other thing required under any legislation in the form required and in the time provided for by the relevant legislation.

3. Payment

Payment for all goods and services excepting capital equipment items (equipment which is not stock in trade or consumables) shall be made within thirty (30) days from the end of the month of invoicing and in Australian legal currency. If payment is not received by the Company within that time then liquidated damages at the rate of 12% per annum or as advertised from time to time by Westpac indicator rate plus 3% on any unpaid part of the invoice will apply until payment is received in full. Such liquidated damages are a genuine pre-estimate of the damages sustained by the Company as a result of non-payment by the customer by the due date. Payment for all capital equipment items is required, in full, prior to despatch. The Company accepts payment by cheque, direct deposit, Bankcard, Mastercard or Visa. However, the use of credit cards, when paying existing account debts, attracts a handling fee, currently 1.4% (GST inclusive).

4. Retention of Title

  1. Notwithstanding delivery of the goods or their installation, title in any particular goods shall remain with the Company until the goods are on sold by the customer in the ordinary course of business or until the customer has paid and discharged any and all monies owing pursuant to any invoice issued by the Company for the goods, including all applicable GST and other taxes, levies and duties. Any payment made by or on behalf of the customer which is later avoided by the application of any Statutory Provisions shall be deemed not to discharge the Company's title in the goods nor the customer's indebtedness to the Company and, in such an event, the parties are to be restored to the rights which each respectively would have had if the payment had not been made.
  2. The risk in the goods shall pass to the customer upon delivery to the customer or his agent or to a transport company nominated by the customer.
  3. The customer acknowledges that it is in possession of the goods solely as bailee until payment of all invoices for the goods is made pursuant to Clause 4(a) and until that time:
    1. The customer is entitled to sell the goods but only in the ordinary course of business;
    2. The customer must not encumber or otherwise charge the goods;
    3. The customer shall be fully responsible for any loss or damage to the goods whatsoever and howsoever caused following delivery;
    4. The customer shall store the goods separately from its own goods and those of any other party and in a manner which clearly identifies the goods, whether as separate chattels or as components, as the property of the Company; and
    5. If the goods are sold, the customer shall hold the proceeds of sale on trust for the Company and identified as such in the books of the customer and shall account to the Company for those proceeds of sale failing which the Company is entitled to maintain an action for the proceeds of sale of any of the goods by the customer.
  4. The customer hereby irrevocably grants to the Company the right, at its sole discretion, to remove or repossess any goods from the customer and sell or dispose of them and the Company shall not be liable for any loss occasioned thereby nor be liable to the customer or any person claiming through the customer and the Company shall be entitled to retain the proceeds of any goods sold and apply same towards the customer's indebtedness to the Company.
  5. If the customer commits an act of bankruptcy, enters into any form of administration or liquidation, makes any composition or arrangement with its creditors, ceases to carry on business or breaches Clause 3 or 4 of these Terms of Trade, the Company may, without prejudice to any other remedies it may have, repossess any goods delivered by the Company to the customer on any account which have not been sold and commence proceedings to recover the balance of any monies owing to the Company by the customer on any account.

5. Delivery

  1. Delivery dates or times indicated by the Company on acceptance of order are approximate only and do not constitute a guarantee of delivery or delivery by such date.
  2. If an order covers a number of goods, the Company shall be entitled to amend the order in respect of all or any such goods in which event the normal terms of payment shall apply and no claim shall arise in respect of the shortfall.
  3. Goods placed on back order shall be supplied immediately they are available unless prior written advice of cancellation is received from the customer.

6. Warranty

All warranties, conditions and representations whether express or implied other than express warranty stated by the Company in writing are hereby expressly excluded except in circumstances whereby the Company is by law unable to exclude or limit its liability. To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall not be liable to the customer for loss of general profit or other economic loss, indirect, special consequential, general or similar damages arising under any order or for negligence by the Company or the customer or for any claim made against the customer by any other party, even if the Company has been advised of the possibility of such claim. Provided that where the customer is consumer for the purposes of the Trade Practices Act but the goods or services are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption, the liability of the Company shall be limited as determined by the Company.

    1. the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods;
    2. the repair of the goods;
