Terms & Conditions of Trade

To the fullest extent legally possible all contracts, dealings and/or arrangements made between Sprout Organic Pty Ltd ACN 639 172 517 (“Sprout”) and any Customer (“Customer”) relating to any goods, products, services or materials supplied or to be supplied by Sprout to the Customer (“Goods”) are subject to the following Terms and Conditions of Trade (“these Terms”) unless otherwise agreed in writing.

1. Payments

1. The Customer must pay for the Goods in full prior to taking delivery of the Goods.
2. If the Customer has completed a credit application and Sprout has notified the Customer in writing that Sprout has granted credit to the Customer, payments are to be within 30 days of invoice date without deduction or set-off of any kind.
3. Sprout may apply a payment received from the Customer to any amounts owed by the Customer (including part payment of an invoice, administration, collection and other costs) in any order.
4. Sprout is entitled to set-off or deduct any amount payable by Sprout to the Customer.
5. Sprout may require the Customer to pay a credit card surcharge (in addition to any payment) of up to 2.5% of the invoiced amount plus GST of the payment amount where the Customer pays by credit card.
6. A payment dishonour fee may be charged by Sprout if a Customer’s payment is dishonoured in any way. This fee will be in addition to any fees the Customer’s financial institution or credit provider my charge the Customer.

2. Retention of Title and liability for goods

1. Immediately upon delivery the Customer accepts risk and liability for the Goods.
2. A document signed by an officer of Sprout identifying Goods and certifying that monies are owing to Sprout will be conclusive evidence of Sprout’s title thereto.
3. Sprout retains legal and equitable title in any Goods supplied to the Customer until payment in full for or in connection with the supply of the relevant Goods has been received by Sprout (“Full Payment”). Until Full Payment has been received, the following terms apply:
   1. Notwithstanding that title in the Goods remains with Sprout until Full Payment, the Customer may sell or use the Goods in a manufacturing or construction process in the ordinary course of the Customer’s business. As between the Customer and the purchaser of any item of the Goods, the Customer sells as principal and not as agent of Sprout. The proceeds of sale of each item of Goods must be held by the Customer in a separate fund on trust for Sprout and the Customer is under a duty to account to Sprout for such proceeds. The creation of, or any failure of, any such trust shall not in any way limit the obligation of the Customer to pay an amount to Sprout for Goods supplied;
   2. Until Goods are sold or used in a manufacturing or construction process, the Customer must keep the Goods safe and free from deterioration, destruction, loss or harm, clearly designate the Goods as the property of Sprout, store them in such a way they are clearly identified as the property of Sprout and keep full and complete records, firstly, of the physical location of the Goods and, secondly, the ownership of the Goods by Sprout;
   3. Sprout is irrevocably entitled at any time and from time to time before sale of any item of Goods by the Customer to inspect or to recover and retake possession of such Goods and otherwise exercise in relation to the Goods any of its rights whether those rights are as owner and/or unpaid seller or otherwise and whether those rights are conferred by common law, contract, statute or in any other way. In order to exercise such entitlement, Sprout and its agents are irrevocably authorised by the Customer to enter any of the Customer’s premises or vehicles or those of any third party. The Customer agrees to obtain the consent of any such third party to such entry by Sprout and to indemnify Sprout and its agents for any liability arising from any entry upon such third parties’ premises or vehicles. Sprout and its agents agree to take all reasonable care in removing the Goods from such premises or vehicles but, to the extent this liability may be disclaimed by law, are not liable for any damage or injury to such premises caused by the removal of the Goods; and
   4. this reservation of title and ownership is effective whether or not the Goods have been altered from their supplied form, or commingled with other goods.
4. Clause 2 is not intended to create a charge and must be read down to the extent necessary to avoid being a charge.
5. The retention of title arrangement described in this clause 2 constitutes the granting of a purchase money security interest by the Customer in favour of Sprout in respect of all present and after acquired Goods supplied by Sprout to the Customer and the Customer must immediately, if requested by Sprout, sign any documents, provide all necessary information and do anything else required by Sprout to ensure that Sprout’s purchase money security interest is a perfected security interest and the provisions of clause 38 will apply.
6. The Customer will not enter into any security agreement that permits any other person to have or to register any security interest in respect of the Goods or any proceeds from the sale of the Goods until Sprout has perfected its purchase money security interest.

3. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permissible at law (including under the Australian Consumer Law):

1. Sprout will not be liable for any claim arising after 7 days from delivery of Goods or performance of services (or at all once Goods have been unpacked, modified, on-sold or otherwise used or applied) after which there will be deemed to be unqualified acceptance.
2. Sprout will not be liable in any way for any contingent, consequential, direct, indirect, special or punitive damage arising whether due to Sprout’s negligence or otherwise and the Customer acknowledges this limit of liability and agrees to limit any claim accordingly.
3. no other term, condition, agreement, warranty, representation or understanding whether express or implied in any way extending to or otherwise relating to or binding upon Sprout is made or given except where done so in writing and signed by an authorised officer of Sprout or is explicitly set out in these terms.
4. Sprout will not be liable for any claim relating to or arising from any alleged fault or defect, caused, or contributed to by the Customer or any third party.

To the extent permissible at law (including under the Australian Consumer Law):

1. if Sprout elects to take back product it must be in as new and saleable condition and upon terms agreed and a re-stocking fee will apply.
2. custom made or custom processed Goods or Goods acquired by Sprout specifically for the Customer will not be returnable.
3. any Goods which are accepted by Sprout as defective may be returned and will be replaced free of charge or be the subject of a credit for the invoiced value. “Free of charge” does not include labour, transport or material costs.

5. Specific Order

Sprout may set specific terms from time to time in relation to customer specific orders (e.g. full pre-payment, deposit etc.).

6. Placement of Orders

1. To the extent permissible by law (including under the Australian Consumer Law), if any dispute arises concerning any order (and including any measurement, quality, quantity, identity, or authority or any telephone, facsimile, e-mail or computer generated order) the internal records of Sprout will be conclusive evidence of what was ordered.
2. Each order placed will be and be deemed to be a representation made by the Customer at the time that it is solvent and able to pay all of its debts as and when they fall due.
3. Failure to pay in accordance with these Terms will be and be deemed to be conclusive evidence that the Customer had no reasonable grounds for making the representation referred to in clause 6 (b) and that the representation was unconscionable, misleading and deceptive.
4. When any order is placed, the Customer must inform Sprout of any material facts which would or might reasonably affect the commercial decision by Sprout to accept the order and/or grant credit in relation thereto. Any failure to do so will create and be deemed to create an inequality of bargaining position and will constitute and be deemed to constitute the taking of an unfair advantage of Sprout and to be unconscionable, misleading and deceptive.

7. Delivery

1. To the extent permissible at law (including under the Australian Consumer Law), Sprout accepts no responsibility for delivery but may elect to arrange delivery at its discretion and without any liability and at the Customer’s costs and responsibility in all things.
2. Sprout reserves the right to charge for any delivery.
3. The Customer will be deemed to have accepted delivery and liability for the Goods immediately after Sprout notifies that they are ready for collection or when they are delivered to a carrier or to the Customer’s business premises or site whether attended or not.
4. A document (including without limitation a consignment note) purporting to be signed by an officer of Sprout confirming delivery will be conclusive evidence of delivery as will any signed delivery docket.
5. To the extent permissible at law (including under the Australian Consumer Law), Sprout will not be liable for delay, failure or inability to deliver any Goods.
6. Once the Customer has been notified that Goods are ready for collection, the Customer agrees to pay all costs of holding or handling Goods.

8. Variation

Variation or cancellation of any order, dealing or arrangement must be agreed to in writing.

9. Exclusions

To the extent permissible at law (including under the Australian Consumer Law):

3. the Customer will rely on its own knowledge and expertise in choosing any product for any purpose.
4. any advice or assistance given for or on behalf of Sprout must be accepted at the Customer’s risk and must not be or be deemed given as expert or adviser nor to have been relied upon.

10. Severability

If a provision of these Terms would but for this clause, be unenforceable, that provision must be read down to that extent necessary to avoid that result and if that provision cannot be read down to that extent, it must be severed without altering the validity and enforceability of the remainder of these Terms.

1. All sales are made by Sprout at its ruling price at the time of delivery unless otherwise agreed in writing by Sprout.
