- Prices that we advertise are subject to change at our discretion.
- If we make a change, it is effective immediately upon the earlier of us posting the new price on our website/s or advising you of the change via any method of communication, for example, phone or face to face communication, email, newsletter, members update, promotion (or the end of promotion) or via our social media pages.

- Product Availability & Order Changes
- When a product becomes unavailable, we will not be able to sell or deliver it to you.

If the product is or becomes unavailable after we have received your order, we will provide you with a full credit or refund, depending on the payment method you used. If monies are owing to us by you on account, then we will offset any credit against outstanding monies owed by you to us, before paying any balance to you.
- If you ask to change an order (add product, remove product, change any order particulars) and we are reasonably able to do so, without us incurring any form of loss, damage, or expense in doing so, then we will act reasonably in trying to accommodate your expense. You irrevocably agree that should any result in delay, expense, loss or incur extra charges, these will be passed on by us to you for payment.
- Transfer of Risk
- Immediately any product leaves our premises you assume all risk, not us. This means that, you assume all risk for any delay, damage, theft, fire, loss or other event or cause of loss, damage, or delay.

- The customer warrants that:
- It is currently trading and able to meet its bills and financial obligations when they fall due;
- it is not aware of any event current or upcoming that would negatively impact its ability to pay for the goods supplied under the credit facility;
- it has not entered into any arrangement with its creditors; and
- it, or any of its legal officers (for example directors), been declared bankrupt or entered into an arrangement under the Bankruptcy Act 1966 (Cth).
- The Customer acknowledges that API is relying on the accuracy of the information and warranty provided.
- Credit Account Process
- The Credit Application may or may not be approved by API in its absolute discretion.
- The Customer agrees it may not access any credit until approval has been provided by API in writing.
- The Customer and Guarantor(s) consents to API completing a credit check of the Customer and/or any Guarantor(s) on the Credit Application (for example through Equifax).
- The Customer agrees it will nominate a credit limit that it considers is within its financial capability and, if approved, this will be the maximum credit limit of the facility. The Customer must ensure its aggregate total of outstanding invoices at all times remains less than the maximum limit.
- The Customer may apply in writing to increase or reduce the credit limit at any time. Any application to increase is subject to approval by API and may require an additional credit check. A reduction in the credit limit amount may be refused if the current outstanding aggregate of invoices is greater than the proposed reduced credit limit.
- The credit amount may be reduced, suspended until further notice or terminated at any time by API.
- If the Customer does not comply with the terms of trade or make required payments, API may cease supply under the credit arrangement.
- All title in goods supplied on credit remains with API until payment has been made in full (this includes where the goods or product have been on-sold to a customer or installed within their premises). The Customer hereby authorises API or its solicitors to register this charge over assets on the PPS Register. The full PPSR clause from API’s Terms of Trade applies to this agreement.
- The Customer agrees it will notify API within 3 business days of:
- A change in the legal status, ownership, or control of the Customer;
- An appointment of a liquidator or similar arrangement;
- Any step being taken to sell more than 20% of the business assets of the Customer; and
- API may take steps to suspend or terminate the credit facility in these circumstances.
- Credit Account Payments
- Credit accounts must be paid on or before their due date in accordance with our payment terms (please see our invoices for payment terms).
- Late payments will be charged interest at the then current RBA Cash Rate plus 5%, interest to be charged and compound monthly. We may also charge your account a late fee of $25 for each month your account is overdue. These charges are an actual reflection of the cost our business incurs in chasing late payments.
- If we have to take steps to enforce a debt owed by you, you agree we may also charge our costs incurred including debt collection agency fees and/or solicitor fees (on a solicitor and own client basis).
- Credit Account Guarantee and Indemnity
- A guarantee is an obligation to pay money owing by another person, where the Guarantor(s) becomes personally responsible, instead of, or as well as the Customer.
- In providing this guarantee, the Guarantor(s) each warrant that they:
- have had the opportunity to obtain their own independent legal and financial advice;
- have made their own assessment of the Customer’s ability to meet its obligations under this agreement;
- understand the financial risks involved in providing a guarantee, for example, having to use their own money or sell their own property to pay the obligations of the Customer;
- have not relied upon any representation or statement made by or on behalf of API in offering this guarantee;
- understand that the Guarantor(s) can become responsible for additional amounts if the Customer increases their credit amount;
- accept the full extent of their obligations under the guarantee; and
- understand they can refuse to sign the Credit Application agreement.
- The Guarantor(s) unconditionally guarantees the punctual payment to API of all amounts owing under the agreement including the amount due under the credit facility, interest, any fees or charges and the cost of enforcement if applicable.
- The Guarantor(s) waives:
- the right to claim any invalidity in the credit facility as a defence to a claim made by API pursuant to the guarantee; and
- any right acquired by subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, or indemnification for payments made under the guarantee until all obligations of the Customer and any Guarantor have been paid and discharged in full.
- The Guarantor(s) must pay the amount owing to API immediately on demand from API if the Customer does not pay any amount owing to API when due.
- The guarantee continues until the Guarantor(s) are released in writing by API and cannot be revoked by the Guarantor(s). The guarantee continues even if the credit facility is varied or increased by the Customer or API.
- API may release or come to a separate arrangement with any one or more of the Customer or other Guarantor(s), without affecting the liability of the remaining Guarantor(s).
- The Guarantor(s) also indemnify API against all loss, damage, costs, and expenses incurred by API as a result of any failure by anybody to pay the amounts owing under this agreement on the due date.
- An indemnity is an obligation to pay that money even if the Customer or any other person is not obliged to pay for any reason.
- API may enforce the guarantee and/or indemnity, any security, and any other rights separately or together, and need not enforce any rights against the Customer or anyone else before enforcing the guarantee against the Guarantor(s).
- The Guarantor(s) obligations under guarantee and indemnity continue and remain unaffected despite anything that happens to the Customer and despite API allowing the Customer to rectify any default at any time. For example, the Guarantor(s) obligations continue even if the Customer no longer operates a business, the Customer dies or is made bankrupt, if the Customer is a partnership and the partnership ends or the members change, or if the Customer is a company and it is dissolved or wound up.
- The Guarantor(s) charges all property, both equitable and legal, present, or future of the Guarantor(s) in respect of any monies that may be owing by the Customer or the Guarantor(s) to API under the credit facility or otherwise and hereby authorises API or its solicitors register this charge over assets of the Guarantor(s) with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission or upon the PPS Register.
- The full PPSR clause in these Terms of Trade apply to API’s Credit Application, Credit Application Guarantees and Indemnities.
