costs incurred have been paid in full. If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed prior to the title passing
to the Customer, the Company is entitled, without affecting any other rights and remedies under this
agreement, to any insurance proceeds payable for the Goods in accordance with the Personal Property
Securities Act 1999 (NZ) (“PPSA NZ”).


21.2.2

The Goods, whether as separate chattels or as components, and the proceeds from the use or sale of the
Goods, shall be stored in such a manner as to be clearly identifiable and traceable as the property of the
Company until title has passed to the Customer.


21.2.3

The Company may demand at any time until title has passed to the Customer that the Customer returns the
Goods or any part of them.


21.2.4

In the event that the Customer defaults in the payment of any monies owing to the Company, the Company
and its employees or agents shall have the right to enter without notice upon the Customer’s premises or
any other premises where the Goods are known to be stored (and the Customer must ensure that the
Company has the right to enter such premises at all times) to repossess the Goods and for this purpose the
Customer shall grant reasonable access rights and the Company, its employees or agents shall be entitled
to do all things required to secure repossession or render inoperative such Goods or associated equipment
by the removal of some component, part or device there from.


21.2.5

The Company may, without notice to the Customer, resell any Goods it repossesses under this clause. In
the event that The Company repossess and sells any Goods under this clause, The Company will repay to
the Customer such amounts (if any), up to the amount paid by the Customer for the relevant Goods,
remaining after deduction of all costs and expenses incurred by The Company in exercising its rights under
this clause (including repossession, selling and storage costs, and revaluing the Good to ascertain its resale
value). The amount payable by The Company under this clause will be reduced in accordance with any
reduction in the value of the Good due to damage while in the possession or control of the Customer.

21.3 Taxes


21.3.1

Unless specifically described as ‘GST inclusive’, any consideration to be paid or provided for a supply by the
Company to the Customer does not include any amount on account of goods and services tax, or any
similar tax applicable in New Zealand (‘GST’). Where any supply is subject to GST (other than a supply the
consideration for which is specifically described as ‘GST inclusive’), the Customer must, at the same time
and in the same manner as the GST exclusive consideration is payable or to be provided for that supply,
pay to the Company an amount equal to the GST payable by the Company in respect of that supply.


21.3.2

Other government charges are in addition to prices quoted and are payable by the Customer and if paid by
the Company are refundable by the Customer to the Company.

Company’s Goods into goods ordinarily acquired for personal household or domestic use (“Consumer
Goods”) the Customer warrants that:


21.4.2.1

if a Customer supplies the Consumer Goods for resupply, the Customer will ensure that its terms
and conditions of supply require the Customer’s customer (and each person in the distribution
chain) to include in their supply agreements or conditions of sale obligations requiring their
customers to also exclude liability for any claims under the Consumer Guarantees Act; and


21.4.2.2

if the Customer supplies the Consumer Goods directly to an end user/consumer the Customer
will do so using terms and conditions of supply which exclude liability for claims under the
Consumer Guarantees Act,
but only where the end user/customer acquires the Consumer Goods for business purposes.


21.4.3

The Customer warrants that it will indemnify the Company against any failure by the Customer, its
customers or any person in the distribution chain to properly contract out of liability to business end
users/consumers under the Consumers Guarantees Act.
