In the event of such inconsistency, the terms of the specific supply agreement will prevail.

2.3 Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by JBGS, JBGS reserves the right to vary the price stated for any goods to reflect any increase in the cost of supply to JBGS, including any increase in wages, salaries, cost of materials, services or exchange rate fluctuations between the date of the order and the date of delivery. Prices may be altered at any time by JBGS without notice.

3.1 Delivery of goods shall be deemed to occur when the goods are delivered to the Customer, the Customers premises or a location specified by the Customer, or when the Customer or its employees or agents take possession of the goods.
3.2 JBGS will make reasonable efforts to ensure delivery of goods is in accordance with any delivery timeframes agreed in writing but will not be liable for any loss or damage including consequential loss arising from any delay in delivery. 3.3 Delay due to circumstances not reasonably within the control of JBGS shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any order or refuse to accept delivery.

The Customer must also provide a detailed claim in writing within two business days of delivery.

4.2 Payment must be made in cash prior to delivery, unless otherwise agreed in writing by JBGS. 4.3 Where JBGS has agreed to extend credit to a Customer, payment of all invoices is due by the 20th of the month following the date of invoice unless a different payment deadline is agreed in writing by JBGS. 4.4 The acceptance by JBGS of any type of bank transfer shall not constitute payment until the payment has been fully cleared through the banking system into JBGS’s bank account.
4.5 If a dispute arises in relation to an invoice, and such dispute is not resolved prior to the due date for payment, the Customer shall make payment in full (as per the invoice) but any amount subsequently agreed or determined to have been overpaid will be refunded without delay by JBGS.

5. Personal Property Securities Act 1999
5.1 The Customer grants to JBGS a security interest in the goods and their proceeds and accessions, to firstly secure payment of the purchase price of the goods, and secondly to secure payment of all outstanding debts and obligations of the Customer to JBGS from time to time.
5.2 The Customer agrees to do such acts and provide such information as in the opinion of JBGS (acting in its absolute discretion) may be necessary or desirable to enable JBGS to perfect under the PPSA the security interest (as defined in the PPSA) created in respect of the goods as a first-priority interest (including, if applicable, a purchase money security interest) or with such other priority as JBGS may agree to in writing.
5.3 The Customer must pay the costs, charges and expenses of and incidental to the need for, or desirability of registration of, a financing statement or financing change statement or any action taken by JBGS to comply with the PPSA (including complying with a demand given under section 162 of the PPSA) or to protect its position under the PPSA. The Customer must pay any costs incurred by JBGS, including legal costs on a solicitor-own client basis, arising from any disputes or negotiations with third parties claiming an interest in any goods supplied to the Customer.
5.4 While the goods continue to secure the Customers indebtedness and obligations to JBGS, the Customer must store the goods separately and clearly identify the goods as being subject to JBGS’s security interest. 5.5 The Customer must not create or allow or permit the creation of a security interest (as defined in the PPSA) in any of the goods in favour of any person other than JBGS without first obtaining JBGS’s written consent nor may the Customer allow or permit the creation of a lien over any of the goods.
5.6 The Customer agrees that nothing in sections 114(1)(a), 133 and 134 of the PPSA shall apply to this contract. The Customer waives its rights pursuant to sections 116, 120(2), 121, 125, 129 and 131 of the PPSA and its rights to receive any verification statement relating to the security interests in the goods.
5.7 Where JBGS has rights in addition to those in Part 9 of the PPSA, those rights will continue to apply and will not be limited by section 109 of the PPSA.
5.8 The Customer will not change its name without first notifying JBGS in writing of the proposed name change and the new name at least 7 days before the change takes effect.

The Customer gives JBGS irrevocable authority to enter any premises occupied by the Customer, at any reasonable time, to remove any goods not paid for in full by the Customer and to resell the goods removed and apply the proceeds to any overdue amounts subject to any contrary provision in the PPSA. JBGS shall not be liable for any costs, damages or expenses or any other losses incurred by the Customer or any third party as a result of this action. b.If the Customer manufactures, intermingles or deals with the goods in such a way that they become an integral part of any other object then the Customer shall be deemed to do so as an agent of JBGS and ownership of the goods will remain with JBGS as principal.

7.3 JBGS will only provide warranty services in respect of goods that were supplied by JBGS. 7.4 The Customer acknowledges and agrees that returns shall only be accepted by JBGS in accordance with JBGS’s returns policy as notified to the Customer from time to time on the B2b website or otherwise in writing, and that the Customer may receive a credit for goods returned only if JBGS has consented in writing. However, nothing in these terms or in the returns policy will limit or affect any rights that a non-business consumer may have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.
7.5 Damage caused by misuse or abuse, neglect, accidental damage, improper voltage, liquid spillage, electrical damage due to power fluctuations such as surges or spikes, incompatible consumables or software, are not covered under warranty. Consumables or incorrect operation of any product according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, are not covered under the warranty.

8. Return of Goods
8.1 No goods will be accepted for return without obtaining prior written approval from JBGS. Freight, handling and insurance charges will be at the Customer’s expense.
8.2 Goods approved for return must be accompanied with an JBGS RA and a copy of the relevant invoice or receipt and must be returned within 30 days of delivery. Goods returned that do not meet these conditions will be rejected and will not be shipped back to the Customer except at their expense (a handling fee may also apply).
