Supply of Goods

Supply

On receipt of a purchase order CDNZL will endeavour to supply you with the goods or services ordered, but CDNZL will not be liable to any person if CDNZL decline to fulfil, or are unable to fulfil, an order.

Terms

CDNZL will supply goods and services to you on these terms only (as CDNZL may amend from time to time). The only circumstance where any variation to these terms will apply is where CDNZL have expressly agreed in writing to that variation. If there is any conflict with other terms of trade, these terms and conditions will take priority over any other terms of trade.

Price

The price of the goods or services is that stated on the website at the time of acceptance by us of your purchase order, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by CDNZL. The prices exclude goods and services tax ("GST"). CDNZL may alter prices without notice and prices may be different from the price current at the time of order.

Delivery and Insurance Charges

You will pay the delivery, handling, packaging and insurance charges related to your purchase order. In respect of goods delivered to a delivery point in New Zealand, the delivery charges set out on the website exclude the costs of delivery by the usual methods of transportation used by us. CDNZL may be required to arrange delivery by other means or at other times and CDNZL will be entitled to charge you for any additional costs CDNZL may incur.

Payment

You must make payment, of the price and any delivery and insurance charges, on the 20th of month following the date of purchase or upon demand by us, whichever is the earlier (the "due date"). CDNZL reserve the right to require payment in cash before goods are dispatched.

Overdue Payments

If full payment is not made by the due date, you will pay a late payment penalty on overdue amounts, at 1% per month above our overdraft limit with our bank, with penalty being calculated from the date when payment is due until the date when payment is actually made. You will pay all costs (including legal costs) incurred by us in collecting or attempting to collect any amounts outstanding.

Delivery

CDNZL will endeavour to deliver goods on the agreed delivery dates but CDNZL will not be liable for late delivery. Late delivery does not entitle you to cancel any order or part order. Delivery will be deemed to have been made when the goods arrive at the delivery point agreed with you or if you are to arrange delivery, when the goods are available for collection by you. Delivery may be by instalments. You will be responsible for disposing, at your own cost, all materials used in the packaging or delivery.

Ownership

Legal and beneficial ownership in goods purchased from us remains with us until all sums owed to us, in respect of those goods and all other goods supplied by us, are paid in full. While property in the goods remains with us, CDNZL have the irrevocable right to enter your premises where the goods are located and take possession of and remove the goods. Until ownership passes, you hold the goods as bailee for us. If you wish to resell any goods before ownership passes, you may do so only by way of bona fide sale in the ordinary course of business and you shall account to us for the proceeds of any such sale.

Risk

Risk in the goods will pass to you on delivery.

Order Cancellation

Cancellation of an order may only be accepted by us if:

  1. the goods form part of our normally held stock and CDNZL receive written notice of cancellation prior to the commencement of delivery of the goods; or
  2. the goods do not form part of our normally held stock and CDNZL receive written notice of cancellation prior to ordering these goods ourselves.
Authorised Returns

You may return goods purchased from us, if the goods are returned in a condition which CDNZL consider to be merchantable, the goods form part of our normally held stock and you notify us of your intention to return the goods to us, within 30 days of delivery.

Warranties

CDNZL will pass on to you the benefit of any warranties given by the manufacturers or suppliers of the goods. However, CDNZL expressly exclude to the fullest extent permitted by law all other warranties, descriptions, representations or conditions whether implied by law, trade, custom or otherwise. Where goods are advertised with reference to a photograph, CDNZL will endeavour to deliver the corresponding goods but do not warrant that the goods CDNZL deliver to you will be identical to those displayed in the photograph.

Limitation of Liability

Our liability for any claim, damages, loss or expense related to the supply by us of goods or services is limited to the cost paid by you for the goods or services and except where statute expressly requires otherwise. To the fullest extent permitted by law CDNZL will not be liable in any event whether in tort (including negligence), contract or otherwise for any loss of profits or any consequential, indirect or special damage, loss or injury of any kind suffered by you or any other person.

Our Rights

If any amount payable by you is overdue, or in our opinion you are likely to be unable to meet your payment; or you are a company and you become bankrupt, insolvent, have a receiver appointed in respect of all or some of your assets, make or are likely to make an arrangement with your creditors, have a liquidator appointed, are placed under statutory or official management or any equivalent or analogous event occurs or your ownership or effective control is transferred or the nature of your business is materially altered, then:

  1. CDNZL will be entitled to cancel all or any orders with you which remain, or any part of any order with you which remains, unperformed, in addition to and without prejudice to our other remedies; and
  2. all amounts owing to us whether due for payment or not, will immediately become due and payable; and
  3. CDNZL will be entitled to reclaim any goods in your possession or control and dispose of them for our own benefit and for that purpose CDNZL will be entitled, without notice, to enter directly or by our agents on any premises where CDNZL believe goods may be stored, without in any way being liable to any person.
Changes to Terms and Conditions

CDNZL reserve the right to change these terms and conditions at any time by notifying users of the existence of revised terms and conditions through the website. By continuing to access the website, you agree to be bound by the amended terms and conditions.

Waiver

If at any time CDNZL do not enforce any of these terms or grant you time or other indulgence, CDNZL will not be construed as having waived that term or our rights to later enforce that or any other term.

Severability

If any portion of these terms and conditions is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Governing Law

These terms will be governed by New Zealand law and you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand Courts
