TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF TRADE: THOROUGHBRED FLOATS NZ LIMITED
In these Terms of Trade we have used we, us and our to refer to THOROUGHBRED FLOATS NZ LIMITED and you to refer to our customer. By agreeing to acquire Goods from us you agree to these Terms to the exclusion of your terms (if any).
-
DELIVERY
-
If we have given you a time for completion or Delivery of the Goods (or any part of them), such time is approximate only and is not deemed to be of the essence.
-
-
TITLE AND RISK
-
We will retain title to Goods we supply until they have been paid for in full and you have performed all your other obligations under these Terms.
-
Risk in all Goods passes to you when the Goods are Delivered. You will insure Goods for their full price, and will not sell, dispose or part with possession of them or do anything else inconsistent with our ownership of the Goods, from Delivery until title in them passes to you.
-
-
ESTIMATES
-
Unless stated otherwise, any price we give you for the Goods is an estimate (Estimate) on a plus GST basis of the anticipated costs based on information available to us at that time and we may charge you more than the amount quoted if our costs (e.g. the cost of labour, materials, transport, tax, exchange rates or other costs) or the specifications change. The Estimate is subject to clause 4 below.
-
The Estimate is open for acceptance for the time period stated on the Estimate unless withdrawn by us, or if no date is given, on the date of the Estimate only.
-
-
PRICE
-
Notwithstanding any Estimate given, unless we have agreed in writing to be bound by a set price for the Goods, you will pay to us our actual cost of the Goods (Actual Cost) which will be calculated by totalling the following:
-
The price for the Goods stated on our price list from time to time, or otherwise in force at the date when you placed the order;
-
any disbursements (including without limitation delivery costs) incurred by us on your behalf.
-
-
The Actual Cost and all prices are plus GST and other taxes which are payable by you in New Zealand dollars.
-
Disbursements incurred by us on your behalf may include a reasonable mark-up by us.
-
-
PAYMENT
-
We require you to pay a deposit of 50% of the Estimate being an advanced payment prior to commencement of production of the Goods. The deposit is non-refundable if these Terms of Trade are terminated before completion of the work and Delivery of the Goods.
-
You must pay for the Goods in full prior to Delivery, unless we agree otherwise.
-
Unless otherwise agreed, payment is due within 20 days of the date of our invoice.
-
All payments must be made without set-off or deduction. Receipt of a cheque, bill of exchange, or other negotiable instrument will not constitute payment and you remain liable for payment until payment is received by us.
-
We may apportion payments to outstanding accounts as we see fit.
-
-
DEFAULT
-
You will be in Default if:
-
you fail to pay an amount due under these Terms by the due date for payment; or

you commit a breach of any of your other obligations under these Terms, the Security or the terms of any other contract you have entered into, or enter into in the future, with us or one of our related entities; or
-
you become insolvent, are wound up, have a receiver appointed, enter into any composition or arrangement with your creditors, do any act which would render you liable to be placed in liquidation or have a receiver appointed over your property, commit an act of bankruptcy, cease to be of full legal capacity, or die;
-
Goods that we have retained title to are at risk; or
-
an event or a series of events (whether related or not) occurs which, in our opinion, may cause a material adverse change in your ability to meet your obligations to us.

require you to pay to us all amounts you owe us immediately;
-
suspend or terminate these Terms;
-
enforce security interests created by these Terms;
-
exercise any rights that we have under these Terms or that are available to us at law.
