- Each order placed by the Customer shall be deemed to be a representation by the Customer, made at the time that it is submitted, that the Customer is solvent and able to pay all of its debts as and when they fall due. Failure to pay JVA in accordance with these terms and conditions shall be and be deemed to be conclusive evidence that the Customer had no reasonable grounds for making the representation herein and that the representations were unconscionable, misleading and deceptive.

- The Customer shall ensure that all orders for Products are in the form and contain the particulars required by JVA from time to time. The Customer shall amend and re-submit any order which JVA determines to be deficient or ambiguous. If JVA determines that any deficiency or ambiguity can be resolved by inference or implication from other documents or correspondence of the Customer, or by reasonable assumption from or based upon industry standards or ordinary course of business, then JVA may do so and the Customer shall be bound by it whether or not JVA seeks confirmation of the order with the Customer.
- JVA reserves its right to reject any order for Products with or without giving reasons for doing so, upon which these terms and conditions shall be deemed to have been cancelled under clause 6 insofar as it applies to that order.
- If JVA has modified or replaced any Products ordered or requested by the Customer, then JVA may in its discretion supply the modified or replacement Products to the Customer in place of the Products so ordered or requested, provided however that if any such modified or replaced Products are materially different to those ordered or requested by the Customer, then JVA shall notify the Customer of that fact and give the Customer a reasonable opportunity to withdraw or change and resubmit its order before JVA fulfils the order hereunder.
-
PRICES, INVOICING AND PAYMENT
- At JVA’s sole discretion, the Price shall be either:

- JVA reserves the right to change the Price of any Products in the event of a variation to JVA’s quotation.
- Unless JVA specifies otherwise, all Products are sold and all Prices are quoted or advised ex works from JVA’s premises. All Delivery Costs and other expenses that may be applicable to the supply of any Products shall at JVA’s discretion either:

-
DELIVERY OF PRODUCTS

- if the Products are consigned to one or more carriers for delivery to the Customer (whether such carriers are engaged or nominated by JVA or the Customer), when the Products are loaded on board the carrier’s vehicle or vessel for such carriage; or
- if the Products are delivered to the Customer by JVA personally, when the Customer collects, receives or otherwise takes possession of the Products from JVA or when the Products are off-loaded at the Customer’s nominated address by JVA, whichever occurs earliest in time;

- Nothing in these terms and conditions shall oblige JVA to fulfil any order and arrange delivery of any Products at or by or within any particular timeframe, provided however that JVA shall act diligently in the ordinary course of its business in doing so.
- If the Products are consigned to one or more carriers for delivery to the Customer (whether such carrier is engaged or nominated by JVA or the Customer), then JVA shall use reasonable endeavours to promptly forward or send to the Customer or to the Customer’s nominee true copies of the invoices, bills of lading, fumigation certificates and any other documents required by them to take delivery of the Products from the said carrier. Nothing herein shall render JVA liable to the Customer or to any third party for any loss or damage whatsoever (including any additional Delivery Costs, loss of profits or loss or revenue or other economic loss, duties and taxes) arising due to the failure by JVA to forward or send such documents (or any of them) promptly or at all.
- All Delivery Costs shall be in addition to the Price of any Products unless JVA expressly agrees otherwise in writing.
- The Customer shall make all arrangements necessary to take delivery of the Products whenever they are tendered for delivery. In the event that the Customer is unable to take delivery of the Products as arranged then JVA shall be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for re-delivery and the Customer shall pay such fee promptly upon demand by JVA or as a condition of re-delivery by JVA.
- The Customer shall at its own cost and expense assist JVA in obtaining any export compliance approvals which may be necessary under Australian or international laws or designated country of delivery import laws.
- Delivery of the Products to a third party nominated by the Customer is deemed to be delivery to the Customer for the purposes of these terms and conditions.
- JVA may in its sole discretion deliver the Products by or in separate instalments, in which case JVA may at its discretion invoice each such instalment separately, or invoice any two or more or all such instalments together. Each invoice shall be treated as a separate invoice payable in accordance with the provisions in these terms and conditions.
- The failure of JVA to deliver any Products promptly or at all shall not entitle the Customer to treat these terms and conditions as repudiated.
- JVA shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever (including any additional Delivery Costs, loss of profits or loss of revenue or other economic loss, duties and taxes) arising due to failure by JVA to deliver the Products (or any of them) promptly or at all.
-
PASSING OF TITLE AND RISK
- JVA and the Customer agree that ownership of the Products shall not pass until:
- the Customer has paid JVA all amounts owing for the particular Products; and
- the Customer has met all other obligations due by the Customer to JVA in respect of all contracts between JVA and the Customer.
- Receipt by JVA of any form of payment other than cash shall not be deemed to be payment until that form of payment has been honoured, cleared or recognised and until then JVA’s ownership or rights in respect of the Products shall continue.
- It is further agreed that:
- where practicable the Products shall be kept separate and identifiable until JVA shall have received payment and all other obligations of the Customer are met; and
- until such time as ownership of the Products shall pass from JVA to the Customer, JVA may give notice in writing to the Customer to return the Products or any of them to JVA and upon receipt of such notice the rights of the Customer to obtain ownership or any other interest in the Products shall cease; and
- JVA shall have the right of stopping the Products in transit whether or not delivery has been made; and
- if the Customer fails to return the Products to JVA, then JVA or JVA’s agent may enter upon and into land and premises owned, occupied or used by the Customer, or any premises as the invitee of the Customer, where the Products are situated and take possession of the Products; and
- the Customer is only a bailee of the Products and until such time as JVA has received payment in full for the Products then the Customer shall hold any proceeds from the sale or disposal of the Products on trust for JVA; and
- the Customer shall not deal with the money of JVA in any way which may be adverse to JVA; and
- the Customer shall not charge the Products in any way nor grant nor otherwise give any interest in the Products while they remain the property of JVA, except for those charges and Security Interests which have been expressly authorised and provided for in accordance with these terms and conditions; and
- JVA can issue proceedings to recover the Price of the Products sold notwithstanding that ownership of the Products may not have passed to the Customer; and
- until such time that ownership in the Products passes to the Customer, if the Products are converted into or incorporated in or attached to other products, whether or not they cease being identifiable or separable and whether or not they become composite products, then the parties agree that title in the said products shall vest in and be retained by JVA and JVA will be the owner of the said products (whether they are composite products or end products or otherwise).
- JVA shall not be liable in contract or in tort or otherwise howsoever for any loss or damage including indirect, special or consequential loss or damage arising from delay in design, manufacture, supply or delivery of Products howsoever caused or for any delay in or failure of delivery after Products have been dispatched from JVA’s works.
- All risk in or for or concerning the Products passes to the Customer on delivery whether or not ownership of the Products passes at, before or after that time.
- The Customer shall obtain and maintain at its cost sufficient and appropriate insurance over loss or damage to the Products at all times after risk in them passes to the Customer until ownership passes to the Customer pursuant to these terms and conditions. The Customer further agrees to ensure that JVA is endorsed as an insured party on all such insurance policies. If any Products are damaged or destroyed following delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Customer, then:
- JVA is entitled to receive the entire proceeds of all such insurance policies from the insurer and the Customer, and if the Customer receive such proceeds then the Customer agrees that it shall hold them on trust for JVA and shall immediately upon receipt pay them to JVA in full; and
- the proceeds shall be applied by JVA in payment of all amounts owing to JVA in respect of the Products (including Delivery Costs); and
- JVA shall remit and pay any remaining proceeds to the Customer.
- The production of these terms and conditions by JVA is sufficient evidence of JVA’s rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with JVA to make further inquiries.
- JVA is not obliged to effect insurance on any Products after dispatch from their premises unless it receives specific instructions from the Customer, in which case the cost of the insurance will be borne by the Customer.

- The Customer acknowledges that a “PMSI” and/or a charge is granted priority to all other creditors of the Customer in relation to the Products.
- The Customer authorises under section 275(7)(c) of the PPSA, the disclosure of information by a secured party under section 275(4) of the PPSA in response to any request for information from an interested person pursuant to sections 275(1) to (3) of the PPSA.

-
SHORTAGES, DEFECTS AND WARRANTY
- Our Products come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the Products repaired or replaced if the Products fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
- The Customer shall inspect the Products immediately upon receipt of them hereunder and shall within seven (7) days of such receipt (time being of the essence) notify JVA of any alleged shortage in quantity or failure to comply with the description or quotation or order for the Products. The Customer shall afford JVA an opportunity to inspect the Products within a reasonable time following delivery if the Customer believes the Products are received short or fail to comply with the description or quotation or order in any way. If the Customer fails to comply with these provisions, or if JVA determines (acting reasonably) that any shortage or failure to comply is due to any loss or damage to the Products in transit, then JVA shall not be liable to rectify or remedy any such shortage or failure to comply. If any Products are in fact received short or fail to comply as aforesaid, and JVA determines (acting reasonably) that such shortage or failure to comply is not due to any loss or damage to the Products in transit but due to a failure or mistake on JVA’s part, then JVA shall rectify or remedy such shortfall or failure provided however that JVA’s liability shall be limited at JVA’s sole discretion to either replacing the Products or repairing the Products, except where the Customer has acquired the Products as a consumer within the meaning of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) or the Fair Trading Acts of the relevant State or Territories of Australia, in which case (but in no other case) the Customer shall also be entitled at the Customer’s discretion to either a refund of the Price of the Products (excluding Delivery Costs) or the repair or replacement of the Products.
- JVA hereby warrants to the Customer that the Products manufactured by it will be free from defects in materials and workmanship affecting normal use and operation, for a period of twelve (12) months (or such other warranty period provided by JVA, as the case may be) and/or unless otherwise agreed by JVA, from the date of purchase of the Products by the Customer (the “Warranty Period”), provided always however that:
- the Customer must notify JVA of any actual or alleged defects within the said Warranty Period and also within fourteen (14) days of the discovery of the actual or alleged defect by the Customer (time being of the essence);
- the Customer must, at the Customer’s sole cost, promptly after giving notice under the preceding paragraph (a):
- submit a warranty claim for the actual or alleged defect, in writing, using such forms or in such format as may from time to time be prescribed by JVA; and
- provide sufficient details and particulars of the actual or alleged defect, and provide any documents reasonably requested by JVA, to enable JVA to properly process and assess the warranty claim; and
- deliver the relevant Products to JVA to enable JVA to assess and respond to the warranty claim; and

- failure by the Customer to follow any instructions or guidelines provided by JVA or provided by any third party manufacturer or importer of any component, part or accessory of any Product; or
- use of any Products otherwise than for any application specified on a quotation or order form; or
- continued use of any Products after any defect becomes apparent or would have become apparent to a reasonably prudent operator or user; or
- fair wear and tear of any kind; or
- any attempt by any person other than JVA or any person approved by JVA to adjust, repair, maintain, service or support the Products; or
- malfunction, under-performance or other problems caused by use of parts, components or accessories to Products (including packaging and casings) not supplied by JVA; or
- any accident, abuse, misuse, problems with electrical power, servicing not authorised by JVA, or other external causes beyond either party’s control; or
- any act of God, fire, flood, war, act of violence, terrorism or similar occurrence; and
- the warranty does not cover batteries in or for any Products; and
- the warranty does not cover loss of or damage to Products in transit; and
- the warranty shall cease and JVA shall thereafter in no circumstances be liable under the terms of the warranty if the Products are repaired, altered or overhauled by the Customer or a third party without JVA’s prior written consent; and
- in no case shall the value of a warranty claim (as assessed and determined by JVA or any person/agent approved by JVA, acting reasonably) exceed the Price of the Products paid by the Customer, and all damage or expense over and above such Price shall be the responsibility of the Customer; and
- in respect of all warranty claims, JVA shall not be liable to compensate the Customer for any delay in either replacing or remedying the actual or alleged defect or in properly assessing and/or responding to the Customer’s claim.

- the use or utility of any Products; or
- the fitness of any Products for any particular purpose; or
- the merchantable quality of any Products,
other than to the extent expressly represented in any documentation prepared and supplied by JVA with or for the Products and to the extent implied or required by law.
- JVA may, at its option, choose to satisfy any valid warranty claim by either:
- repairing or replacing, or paying for the repair or replacement of, the relevant Products; or
- refunding to the Customer the Price paid by the Customer for the Products (excluding Delivery Costs),
upon which JVA shall be fully and effectually released and discharged from any further obligations in relation to such claim. The Customer shall be responsible for all Delivery Costs associated with the delivery of any Products to JVA pursuant to a valid warranty claim. JVA shall be responsible for all Delivery Costs associated with returning any repaired or replacement Products to the Customer.
- JVA may decline any warranty claim which does not comply with these terms and conditions, or which does not fall within the scope of the warranty provided under these terms and conditions, or which is made for Products that are found not to be defective by JVA, in which case:
- JVA shall give notice to the Customer that the warranty claim is declined; and
- the Customer shall be responsible for JVA’s reasonable costs of receiving, processing, assessing and declining to the Customer’s warranty claim; and
- the Customer shall be responsible for all Delivery Costs associated with the return of the Products by JVA to the Customer; and
- the Customer shall be responsible for the cost of the repair or replacement of any unwarranted Products or any materials, parts, components or accessories of such Products, by JVA if the Customer so requests, and for all Delivery Costs associated with the delivery of those the Products to the Customer; and
- the Customer shall be responsible for the cost of destruction or disposal of any Products which it no longer requires; and
- JVA may send such Products to the Customer freight unpaid; and
- JVA may invoice the Customer any costs incurred by it under this clause 6 and the Customer shall promptly pay the invoice within seven (7) days of the date of the invoice.
- For Products not manufactured by JVA, the warranty shall be the current warranty provided by the manufacturer and/or importer of the Products as the case may be. JVA shall not be bound by nor be responsible for any term, condition, representation or warranty other than that which is given by such manufacturer and/or importer of the Products.
- The Customer hereby disclaims any right to rescind or cancel any contract with JVA, or to sue for damages or to claim restitution arising out of any misrepresentation made to the Customer by JVA, and the Customer acknowledges that the Products are bought relying solely upon the Customer’s skill and judgment.
-
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND USE OF PRODUCTS
- Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, the Customer does not own any Intellectual Property Rights in the Products and these terms and conditions does not confer or grant any licence, authorisation or permission to use or exploit such Intellectual Property Rights in any way. All Intellectual Property Rights in the Products shall only be used by the Customer at JVA’s discretion and in accordance with the written directions of JVA issued from time to time.
- The Customer warrants that all orders, instructions, designs, drawings and other documents or works given to JVA by the Customer or its nominees or representatives shall not cause JVA to infringe any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party in the execution of the Customer’s order, and the Customer agrees to indemnify JVA and keep JVA indemnified from and against any and all actions taken by a third party against JVA in respect of such infringement and from and against any liability, costs and disbursements incurred by JVA in respect of such infringement.
- To the best of JVA’s knowledge and belief, Products supplied to the Customer hereunder will not infringe any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party. JVA shall use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that Products supplied to the Customer will not infringe any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party. That said, however, JVA shall in no circumstances be liable to the Customer in respect of any such infringement, whether such infringement is constituted by the supply, use or marketing of the Products or otherwise.
- The Customer shall at its own cost and expense notify JVA if it breaches or discovers any breach of any Intellectual Property Rights in the Products, and further the Customer shall at its own cost and expense provide full assistance and cooperation in enabling JVA to apply for or register or file any documents or applications to protect such Intellectual Property Rights and to prosecute infringements of and defend any claims concerning Intellectual Property Rights in the Products in any jurisdiction anywhere in the world.
