any GST SWIA must pay for any supply by SWIA under this or any other contract
for the sale of the Goods. The Customer must pay GST, without deduction or set
off of any other amounts, at the same time and on the same basis as the Customer
pays the Price. In addition, the Customer must pay any other taxes and duties
that may be applicable in addition to the Price except where they are expressly
included in the Price.8. Additional Charges
8.1 SWIA reserves the right to change the Price:
(a) if a variation to the Services which are to be provided is requested; or
(b) where additional Services are required due to the discovery of hidden or
unidentifiable difficulties (including, but not limited to, further faults
which are found upon disassembly and/or further inspection or testing) which
are only discovered upon commencement of the Services; or(c) in the event of increases to SWIA in the cost of labour or Goods, or fluctuations in
currency exchange rates, which are beyond SWIA’s control.8.2 Variations will be charged for on the basis of SWIA’s
quotation, and will be detailed in writing, and shown as variations on SWIA’s
invoice. The Customer shall be required to respond to any variation submitted
by SWIA within ten (10) working days. Failure to do so will entitle SWIA to add
the cost of the variation to the Price. Payment for all variations must be made
in full at the time of their completion.8.3 Where SWIA is requested to store the Customer’s equipment,
or where the equipment are not collected within twenty-four (24) hours of
advice to the Customer that they are ready for collection, then SWIA (at its
sole discretion) may charge a reasonable fee for storage.8.4 If SWIA has been requested by the Customer to
diagnose a fault that requires disassembly and/or testing, all costs involved
will be charged to the Customer irrespective of whether or not the repair goes
ahead.8.5 The Customer acknowledges and accepts that any fixed term maintenance contracts will remain fixed for an initial period of
twelve (12) months from the date of this Contract and will then be subject to
revision on the basis of the movement in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).9. Provision of the Services
9.1 Where SWIA is installing the Goods and subject to
clause 9.2 it is SWIA responsibility to ensure that the Services start as soon as it is
reasonably possible.9.2 The Services commencement date will be put back and
the completion date extended by whatever time is reasonable in the event that SWIA
claims an extension of time (by giving the Customer written notice) where
completion is delayed by an event beyond SWIA’s control, including, but not
limited to, any event as per clause 27.9 or any failure by the Customer to:(a) have the site ready for the Services;
(b) ensure that the foundation/structure where the Goods are to be installed is secure; or
(c) notify SWIA that the site is ready.
9.3 Further to clause 9.2 the
Customer acknowledges and accepts that if there is a delay in installation SWIA
reserves the right to charge for any additional costs involved should the
installation be delayed beyond three (3) months from the date of Delivery.9.4 Delivery (“Delivery”)
of the Goods is taken to occur at the time that SWIA (or SWIA’s nominated
carrier) delivers the Goods to the Customer’s nominated address even if the Customer
is not present at the address.9.5 The cost of Delivery is either included in the
Price or is in addition to the Price as agreed between the parties.9.6 Any time specified by SWIA for Delivery of the
Goods is an estimate only. The Customer must take Delivery by receipt or
collection of the Goods whenever they are tendered for Delivery. SWIA will not
be liable for any loss or damage incurred by the Customer as a result of Delivery
being late. In the event that the Customer is unable to take Delivery of the
Goods as arranged then SWIA shall be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for
redelivery and/or storage.10. Risk
10.1 Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods passes to the Customer on Delivery and the Customer
must insure the Goods on or before Delivery.10.2 If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed following Delivery but prior to ownership
passing to the Customer, SWIA is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds
payable for the Goods. The production of these terms and conditions by SWIA is
sufficient evidence of SWIA’s rights to receive the insurance proceeds without
the need for any person dealing with SWIA to make further enquiries.10.3 If the Customer requests SWIA to leave Goods outside SWIA’s premises for collection or
to deliver the Goods to an unattended location then such Goods shall be left at
the Customer’s sole risk.10.4 SWIA shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of any plans, specifications and other information
provided by the Customer. The Customer acknowledges and agrees that in the
event that any of this information provided by the Customer is inaccurate, SWIA
accepts no responsibility for any loss, damages, or costs however resulting
from these inaccurate plans, specifications or other information.10.5 The Customer acknowledges and accepts that:
(a) all literature, samples, specifications, dimensions and weights submitted with this
quotation are approximate only and the data and descriptions contained in
catalogues and other advertising material while being as accurate as possible
may not necessarily be identical with the Goods and Services SWIA supplies and
that SWIA reserves the right to supply products that have minor modifications
in specifications as SWIA sees fit;(b) the descriptions, illustrations and performances contained in catalogues, other
advertising material and price lists do not form part of the Contract of sale
of the Goods unless otherwise agreed;(c) where SWIA has performed temporary repairs on the Customer’s equipment that SWIA:
(i) offers no guarantee against the reoccurrence of the initial fault, or any further
damage caused; and(ii) will immediately advise the Customer of the fault and shall provide the Customer
with an estimate for the full repair required.(d) SWIA is only responsible for Goods that are replaced by SWIA and does not at any
stage accept any liability in respect of previous services and/or goods
supplied by any other third party that subsequently fail and found to be the
source of the failure, the Customer agrees to indemnify SWIA against any loss
or damage to the Goods, or caused by the Goods, or any part thereof howsoever
arising; and(e) Goods supplied may:
(i) fade or change colour
over time;(ii) mark or stain if exposed
to certain substances; and(iii) be damaged or disfigured by impact or scratching.

where they have not been used and/or maintained in accordance with SWIA’s
and/or the manufacturers’ recommendations.10.7 The Customer acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) auxiliary and on-site
wiring is not included in the Price; and(b) where necessary it shall
be the Customer’s responsibility for:(i) installing,
protecting and correcting all inter-connecting cables; and(ii) supplying
all cabling and wiring where not otherwise indicated in accordance with
instructions, drawings and wiring diagrams supplied by SWIA.10.8 SWIA’s Goods are built
with “state of the art” protection from mains borne interference. However, as
the Goods have a very high precision specification, certain design parameters have
to be considered. Therefore it is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that:(a) the electrical environment surrounding the Goods are
is not subject to excessive interference in the form of electromagnetic
radiation or magnetic fields; and(b) adequate screening is placed and/or secured around
any “noisy” electrical equipment or to moving equipment likely to cause
interference with precious equipment electronics and interfaces.10.9 SWIA accept no liability
whatsoever for any problems or damage caused by or arising from excessive
electromagnetic, magnetic or static interference where the Customer fails to
adhere to clauses 10.8(a) and 10.8(b).10.10 The Customer further acknowledges and accepts that:
(a) to facilitate the required steady power state situation, the Customer’s main power supply must be
within 230 VAC +/- 10% and the frequency within 50HZ +/- 2%;(b) the mains power supply and the Customer’s electrical connections into the Goods must be free of
short-term transients and needs to be electrically isolated and “clean” from
both voltage and frequency variations; and(c) the value of the 230 volt standard power mains supply may be altered to other voltages if agreed by SWIA.
10.11 SWIA accepts no liability whatsoever for any problems or damage caused by or arising from unclean power
supply which does not fall within the supply requirements stated above.Modem data transfer
10.12 SWIA are unable to
guarantee the reliability of data transfer file modem due to factors beyond SWIA’s
control and in particular the incompatibility of most PABX systems with modem
connections and the design of the telephone network. Therefore, to reduce possible
communication problems SWIA recommends that the Customer ensures that:(a) the installation of a
direct ISDN line and dial dedicated line to the modem
are free of any PABX systems and/or party lines; and(b) the Customer checks with
their line supplier that the line is suitable for modem transfer of data.Load cells
10.13 The Customer acknowledges
and accepts that:(a) many modern weighing machines include one or more strain gauge load cells as part of their mechanism;
(b) SWIA cannot be responsible for the failure of load cells due to shock or impact loading or due
to the application of a load exceeding the normal strength of the machine; and(c) SWIA will not be responsible or liable for any damages to the Goods as a result of:
(i) the load cells failing
due to electric welding;(ii) the Customer’s use of any
part of the weighbridge or mechanical structure, framing for clamping;(iii) the routing of single or three (3) phase connectors; or
(iv) the close proximity of high capacity transformers or
generators or any electrical equipment capable of producing magnetic flux.10.14 In the event that the Customer requests SWIA to rectify any faults as stated in clause 10.13(c), the Customer agrees
that any additional costs incurred by SWIA will be invoiced as an extra.11. Testing Machine Calibration
11.1 Testing machines are calibrated at SWIA’s premises to the required standard class and a test
certificate covering this calibration will be supplied with the machine.11.2 The machines can be recalibrated by SWIA’s technicians after installation and an endorsed test
certificate issued. In the event that the Customer requests that SWIA
recalibrates the machine/s, the Customer acknowledges and accepts that there is
an extra charge for this additional calibration which shall be invoiced as an
extra.12. Customer Responsibility
12.1 The Customer shall ensure that SWIA has clear and free access to the site at all times to enable them to
undertake the Services. SWIA shall not be liable for any loss or damage to the
site (including, without limitation, damage to pathways, driveways and
concreted or paved or grassed areas), unless due to the negligence of SWIA.12.2 Where SWIA is installing the Goods:
(a) that does not require any foundations and/or supporting structures, the Customer acknowledges
and accepts that the quoted Price is for the Services to be completed during
normal business hours and any additional overtime worked shall be oncharged to
the Customer as per SWIA’s overtime rate unless otherwise agreed; and(b) the Customer warrants that any foundations/structures to which the Goods are to be affixed are able
to withstand the installation of the Goods and are of suitable capacity to
handle the Goods once installed. If, for any reason SWIA reasonably forms the

Goods to proceed then SWIA shall be entitled to delay installation of the Goods
until SWIA is satisfied that it is safe for the installation to proceed.
Any additional bearing area found necessary by SWIA

upon the Customer’s request, arrange for the Goods to be verified. The Customer
acknowledges and accepts that any statutory charges and the cost for the hire
and carriage of any necessary test weights will be at the Customer’s cost.12.4 Where SWIA requires that Goods, equipment, tools etc. required for the Services be stored at the site, the Customer
shall supply SWIA a safe area for storage and shall take all reasonable efforts
to protect all items from destruction, theft or damage. In the event that any
of the stored items are destroyed, stolen or damaged, then the cost of repair
or replacement shall be the Customer’s responsibility.13. Title

(a) the Customer has paid SWIA all amounts owing to SWIA; and
(b) the Customer has met all of its other obligations to SWIA.
