• Until full payment in cleared funds is received by the Seller for all Goods supplied by it to the Buyer, as well as all other amounts owing to the Seller by the Buyer under any other contract:
  • Legal title and property in all Goods supplied under the Contract remain vested in the Seller and do not pass to the Buyer;

  • The Buyer must not sell the Goods except in the ordinary course of the Buyer’s business;

If there is any inconsistency between the Seller’s rights under this clause 7(e)(iv) and its rights under Chapter 4 of the PPSA, this clause 7(e)(iv) prevails;

• The Australian Consumer Law provides Consumers with a number of protections and Consumer Guarantees that cannot be excluded or limited. These Terms, and in particular the limitations of liability set out in these Terms, are therefore subject to, and will not apply to the extent that they limit or exclude, such protections and Consumer Guarantees applicable to Consumers. However where the Australian Consumer Law permits the Seller to limit the remedies available to it for a breach of a Consumer Guarantee, the Seller hereby limits its remedies to such Consumers, at the Seller’s option, to the repair or replacement of the Goods, the supply of equivalent Goods or the payment of the cost of having the Goods repaired or replaced or having equivalent Goods supplied.
