Terms and Conditions

General

These Standard Terms and Conditions of sale (“the Conditions”) apply to any sale of items, equipment or services of PLUMBING CENTRE BRISBANE PLUMBING Pty Ltd (“PLUMBING CENTRE BRISBANE”) or, where a quotation is made, shall form part of that quotation.

 

PLUMBING CENTRE BRISBANE may vary the Conditions from time to time, and the Conditions as varied shall be published on the PLUMBING CENTRE BRISBANE website. The purchaser agrees that the ordering of any goods or services after the publication of the variation of the Conditions on the website will be an acceptance by the purchaser of the varied Conditions.

 

No variation or cancellation of any of the Conditions shall be binding on PLUMBING CENTRE BRISBANE unless agreed by a responsible officer of PLUMBING CENTRE BRISBANE in writing. No agent or representative has the authority to waive or alter the Conditions.

 

The purchaser or anyone purporting to act on behalf of the purchaser may place orders for goods or services with PLUMBING CENTRE BRISBANE by telephone, email, in writing or by facsimile transmission.

 

Precedence

In the event of a conflict between the Conditions and those which may be included in, or implied by, any document forming part of any enquiry, specification, order or contract then the Conditions shall prevail unless they are expressly varied by PLUMBING CENTRE BRISBANE in writing. If any Condition is contrary to or excluded by law then the Conditions shall be modified but only to the extent of excluding that part of the Conditions so affected.

 

Acceptance

A quotation is not to be construed as an offer or obligation to sell and PLUMBING CENTRE BRISBANE reserves the right to decline any order for goods or services (either wholly or partially) at any time prior to the delivery of the goods or services, in which case PLUMBING CENTRE BRISBANE shall be under no obligation in respect of such order.

 

Prices

All prices are subject to change without notice and orders are accepted by PLUMBING CENTRE BRISBANE on the condition that they will be invoiced at the prices ruling at the date of dispatch, but every endeavour will be made to give 30 days’ notice of any increase.

 

All prices shown in the published catalogues or price lists are recommended selling prices only and there is no obligation on the part of any reseller to maintain such prices.

 

A quotation includes only such goods as are specified therein. PLUMBING CENTRE BRISBANE reserves the right to cancel any sale where goods offered ex stock have been previously sold or otherwise committed.

The delivery period quoted commences from the date PLUMBING CENTRE BRISBANE receives sufficient information to proceed with the supply or from the date PLUMBING CENTRE BRISBANE receives the purchaser’s written order, whichever is the later.

All goods approved for return shall be returned freight pre-paid and may be subject to restocking charges.

 

Cancellation

Any order may, at the option of PLUMBING CENTRE BRISBANE, be terminated in the event of insolvency of the purchaser or of execution being levied against any of the goods of the purchaser or the purchaser being placed into administration or liquidation, whether voluntary or otherwise, or of a mortgagee entering into possession of any assets of the purchaser or the purchaser’s credit worthiness or credit standing alters, in the opinion of PLUMBING CENTRE BRISBANE, from that disclosed in its application for credit.
