Terms and Conditions

BRAINWORX NEW ZEALAND LIMITED – TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Brainworx New Zealand Limited (“Brainworx”, “we” or “us”) agrees to supply customised software (“Software”), products (“Products”) and services (“Services”) to you, the Customer, in return for payment of the price for those Products and Services and according to these Terms and Conditions. Acceptance of delivery or receipt of any Software, Products or Services will (notwithstanding any statement to the contrary by you or your employees or agents) constitute acceptance of these Terms and Conditions.  If there is more than one of you, your liability is joint and several.

1.             Price and Payment

1.1           All prices exclude GST, any other applicable taxes and duties and insurance/freight/delivery/handling charges not expressly included in the price.  You agree to pay these items (as applicable) in addition to the price, whether they are imposed before or after your order.

1.2           Payment must be made in cash prior to delivery of your order and provision of the Services unless we agree otherwise in writing.  If we allow you credit, payment in full is due on the 7th day after the date of our invoice.  We can impose a credit limit on you (or refuse to allow you any credit) at any time, and alter it at our sole discretion.

1.3           You must not withhold payment or make any deductions of any nature whether by way of set off (legal, equitable or otherwise), counterclaim or otherwise from any amount you owe us.  Any default in payment shall make all money payable by you to us immediately due and we may withhold or terminate delivery of Software and Products and/or provision of Services until you provide payment of all money payable by you to us. In the event of such termination, you will remain liable in full for any amounts payable to us as at the date of termination (whether or not we have invoiced you for such amounts).

1.4           If you do not pay any monies owed to us (“the unpaid monies”) when due, we may charge penalty interest at a rate of 20% per annum calculated daily and capitalised monthly on the unpaid monies from the due date until payment in full is made (including after as well as before any Court judgment).

1.5           You indemnify us for and agree to pay, on demand, all costs incurred by us (including legal costs on a solicitor-client basis and debt collection costs) in the recovery or attempted recovery of unpaid moneys and/or the enforcement of these Terms and Conditions or the Security Interest contained in these Terms and Conditions.

1.6           Brainworx reserves the right to alter its pricing structure for any Products, Software and/or Services from time to time. Where such change relates to ongoing licence fees or Services, we will inform you of any changes to the pricing structure by sending a letter or by any other appropriate means. We will endeavour to notify you of any changes to the pricing structure at least 30 days before the change is due to occur.

2.             Term of Services

2.1           Unless otherwise agreed or specified in writing, the term of any contract between the parties for provision of Services will continue until written notification is received from either party indicating otherwise. Each party agrees to give 30 days prior written notice to the other party to terminate any contract for provision of Services. In the event of such termination, you will remain liable in full for any amounts payable to us as at the date of termination (whether or not we have invoiced you for such amounts). For the avoidance of doubt, this clause does not affect the provisions that relate to your breach of any of these terms and conditions.

3.             Delivery and Risk

3.1           Risk in Products sold to you will pass to you on Delivery being the time the Products are dispatched from our premises to you, whether the Products are delivered to your address by us or uplifted from us by you or by a carrier arranged by you or us.

3.2           If any of the Products are damaged or destroyed prior to ownership of them passing to you, we are entitled, without prejudice to any of our other rights or remedies under these terms and conditions (including the right to receive payment of the balance of the price for the Products), to receive all insurance proceeds payable in respect of the Products whether or not the price has become payable under these terms and conditions.  The production of these terms and conditions by us is sufficient evidence of our rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with us to make further enquiries.

3.3           Any date or time stated for dispatch is an estimate only and not to be treated as a condition of sale.

3.4           If the consent of your landlord is required for the installation of any Products, you must obtain this consent before installation occurs.

4.             Security Interest

4.1           Ownership of all Products supplied to you by us will not pass on Delivery, but will remain with us until we have received full payment in clear funds of all moneys you owe us (whether relating to those Products, the supply of Services, or any other property supplied).  We hold a Security Interest in all Products supplied to you and the proceeds of any resale of the Products for payment of those moneys.

4.2           Until all moneys due to us are paid by you, you agree to act as a fiduciary of us and that you will not sell, charge or part with possession of the Products, otherwise than for their full value in the ordinary course of business, and that you will hold the proceeds of the resale of the Products in trust for us, in a separate and identifiable manner.

4.3           At our request, you will promptly deliver, execute or do (or cause to be executed, delivered or done) any documents, contracts, agreements, deeds or other action that we may require from time to time to give effect to these Terms and Conditions, including without limitation doing all such things as we may require to ensure that the Security Interest created under these Terms and Conditions constitutes a perfected Security Interest over the Products. This includes, but is not limited to, providing any information we request to complete a financing statement or a financing change statement for the Personal Property Securities Register.

4.4           Where you are in default, you agree to Brainworx entering your premises or any other place where the Products are located, or where Brainworx reasonably believes that the Products are located, and taking possession of and selling the Products even if Brainworx does not have priority over other persons having a Security Interest in the Products.

4.5           You waive any right to receive a verification statement under the PPSA.

4.6           Nothing in sections 114(1)(a), 133 and 134 of the PPSA shall apply to these Terms and Conditions. Your rights as a debtor in sections 116, 120(2), 121, 125-127, 129 and 131 of the PPSA shall not apply to these Terms and Conditions.

4.7           We are entitled at any stage during the continuance of this Agreement to request such security or additional security as we in our sole discretion think fit and shall be entitled to withhold supply of Software, Products or Services or credit arrangements until such security or additional security shall be obtained.

4.8           We may issue proceedings to recover payment for the Products notwithstanding that ownership of the Products may not have passed to you.
