Conditions of Sale

GENERAL CONDITIONS OF SALE

1. GENERAL
  1. All quotations ("Quotation") by Southern Generators & Electrical Pty Ltd ("SGH") also trading as SG Energy Power Products and JCB Generators Australia are subject to the following provisions, which apply to all orders unless expressly excluded or varied in the Quotation.
  2. A Quotation is not an offer to sell and may be withdrawn or modified without notice. Any order placed based on a Quotation is not legally binding on SGH until it is accepted in writing.
  3. "Products" refer to all SG Energy and JCB branded products available for sale by SGH/SG Energy Power Products.
  4. "Conditions" refer to these conditions of sale.
2. ORDERS
  1. The Purchaser must submit orders for Products in writing to SGH or SG Energy. Orders must include the order date, quantity, product descriptions, specifications (if any), a delivery date, and the Purchaser's contact details.
  2. SGH reserves the right to reject orders within five (5) business days of receipt by providing written notice to the Purchaser.
  3. SGH is not liable for any losses incurred due to order rejection or non-response.
  4. Orders not rejected within five (5) business days of receipt may not be cancelled without SGH's written consent, and SGH reserves the right to charge for work-in-progress and disbursements up to the cancellation date.
  5. If JCB modifies product specifications after an order is placed, the modified specifications will apply, and the Purchaser will be responsible for any price adjustments.
  6. If the agreement between JCB and SGH terminates, SGH is not obliged to fulfil orders not yet delivered to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser won't be compensated for such cancellations.
3. RATE OF EXCHANGE, CUSTOMS DUTY, AND INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
  1. Exchange Rate Fluctuations: All quotations are subject to fluctuations in the official AUD/USD exchange rate. Any variation of 1.5% or more in the AUD/USD exchange rate within 30 days of the quotation date shall, at the supplier's (SGH/SG Energy) discretion, invalidate the quotation.
  2. Exchange Rate Review: Acknowledging that currency exchange rates may fluctuate, both parties agree that, during invoicing, the selling price may be adjusted by the supplier (SGH/SG Energy) to account for fluctuations in the AUD/USD exchange rate. The quoted selling price for products affected by foreign exchange rate fluctuations, such as the engine and alternator package or other items specified in this agreement, shall initially depend on the AUD/USD exchange rate at the contract's execution. This initial rate remains subject to review if and when the review threshold, as defined in section (c), is triggered. The review process shall continue until the final invoice is settled by the customer.
  3. Threshold for Review: To initiate a review, the official AUD/USD exchange rate must fluctuate by more than 1.5% from the contract execution date.
  4. Review Process: Should such fluctuations exceed the specified threshold from the contract execution date to the product delivery, at the discretion of the supplier, both parties shall promptly engage in a review process to assess the impact on the selling price. The review shall consider the most current exchange rate data from reputable financial sources, applying a simple calculation that considers the percentage variation of the exchange rate applied to the selling price of the affected items.
  5. Final Agreement: Any agreed-upon adjustments will be documented in writing and incorporated into the invoice. Both parties shall consider the matter resolved upon mutual consent regarding the adjusted selling price.
4. DELIVERY
