Conditions of Purchase for Production Supplies

General: Fallshaws seek uncomplicated dealings with their suppliers, and to that end:
•	Will only deal with suppliers who are knowledgeable in their products and who will support and guarantee them
•	Deal commercially in the normal 'mainstream' manner
•	Fallshaws deal to the following conditions unless any variation is accepted in writing by Fallshaw's purchasing officer.
An order from Fallshaws is offered with the following conditions: Description of Goods or Services: Standard products will be ordered either by generic description, or by supplier part number. Make sure the use of the product is adequately known to you as we rely on your expertise as seller of these goods. If a drawing or specification is also attached it takes priority over the general description. Specially made products will always have a current drawing attached. If not, ask for one. Do not rely on previously provided drawings: If in doubt -ask. Standards: Australian Standards (where published) are assumed to apply to goods or services supplied to us. If this is not so, you must contact our purchasing officer immediately to see if other standards are acceptable. Any new standard accepted must be confirmed in writing by our purchasing officer. Prices: Prices will normally be on the order. If not, the last price paid or quoted will apply. If you are not willing to supply at that price, you must contact our purchasing officer to agree on a price, otherwise the previous price applies. Any new price must be confirmed in writing by our purchasing officer. Terms of Payment: To be agreed in advance, or will be paid 45 days monthly. Delivery: Delivery will normally be stated on the order. If not, it is assumed to be a stock item delivered within 2 working days. If this is not so you should contact our purchasing officer to agree on a delivery. Any new delivery must be confirmed in writing by our purchasing officer. You will deliver the goods in good order. This means in packaging appropriate to the delivery and storage of the goods, and in an undamaged and dry condition, and loaded on a truck. Delivery costs, if not included in the price of the goods, must be negotiated in advance, and must be included on the order. Warranty: Unless agreed in writing it is assumed your products will provide good service for at least 5 years of fair usage. Any lesser period must be agreed with our purchasing officer and must be confirmed in writing by them. Reliance on Legal rights: We rely on our legal rights as legislated by the State of Victoria, and the Trade Practices Act of the Commonwealth of Australia, and relevant acts or regulations of either parliament. We expect you to have skill and judgement, and that the goods or services you supply will be fit for the purpose for which they are bought. If a commercial dispute arise between us we would prefer it to be resolved by a mutually agreed commercial arbitrator. If we cannot agree, the law of the State of Victoria will apply. Risk: The risk in the goods remains with the supplier until safe delivery of the goods is made to the delivery point nominated by Fallshaws. Patents and Trade Marks: It is assumed you have the right to sell us the goods or services in the manner you propose, and any patent or trademark action brought because of products or services supplied by you will be resolved by you at your cost. Pallets: If you supply on pallets you may either take back similar pallets immediately, or call for them later. We do not pay pallet hire, nor do we deliver your pallets to your depot. Weight: If selling by weight you shall ensure your weighing device is regularly checked for accuracy. In the event of a discrepancy between your device and Fallshaws, Fallshaws will have their weighing device recalibrated, and if it still shows a reading more than 1% lower than yours, the lower reading will apply to the delivery and you will pay the cost of Fallshaw's recalibration. Purchasing Code of Behaviour: Fallshaw publish a Purchasing Code of Behaviour to regulate relationships between suppliers and Fallshaw. Continued dealing with Fallshaws implies acceptance of this Purchasing Code of Behaviour. If you do not agree, you should advise our purchasing officer and cease to deal with us. See also...
