3.            You will be subject to the Trading Terms in force at the time you submit an Order with Unifour. 

Your representations

4.            By placing an Order with Unifour, you represent to us that you are:

(a)          at least 18 years of age;

(b)          resident in Australia;

(c)          legally capable of entering into a binding agreement; and

(d)          a representative of a business or corporate entity and you are not purchasing the Goods for personal, domestic or household use or consumption. 

Orders

5.            Supply and Delivery of Goods and/or Services will only be made against an Order. Placement of an Order by the Customer constitutes an offer to enter into an agreement with Unifour, which agreement is formed upon acceptance by Unifour of an Order. 

6.            To place an Order with Unifour online through our Website, you must be registered as a Customer. Unifour will provide all reasonable assistance to you with this process and you agree to provide all information to us which is necessary to establish an account. To the extent that we provide you with login or other details to enable you to access and use your online account, all details must be stored in a secure location and otherwise remain secure at all times and you agree to only provide such details to persons authorised by you to use them.

If we reject an Order, we will endeavour to notify you of such rejection as soon as possible after the Order is placed by you.

8.            Unifour accepts no responsibility for incorrectly placed Orders. In the event of a dispute, Unifour’s internal records will be conclusive evidence of the details of the Order, when the agreement was formed and the Goods and/or Services supplied by Unifour.

Availability and substitution

11.         Substitution of particular Goods may be necessary to ensure that Delivery of your Order takes place in a timely manner. If substitution is required, Unifour will use the utmost care and attention to ensure that any substituted Goods are as similar as possible to the item purchased as part of the Order.

Title, Delivery and Risk

12.         As between Unifour and the Customer, Unifour retains legal and beneficial title to the Goods until Unifour has received payment in full and cleared funds for all amounts payable by the Customer in relation to the Goods, including any Delivery fee or other additional fees and charges.

13.         The Customer agrees that risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer at the time of Delivery of the Goods at the Location. We accept no liability or responsibility for the Goods once risk has passed to you.

14.         Unifour may, from time to time, subcontract any Services relating to Delivery to a third party to ensure the Goods are delivered to the Customer at the Location.

15.         Unless otherwise agreed by Unifour, the Customer must make all arrangements necessary to enable Delivery at the Location.

16.         Unifour will endeavour to deliver, or arrange for Delivery of, the Goods to you at the Location by the scheduled Delivery date. However, if we are unable to deliver the Goods by such date and/or at the Location, Unifour will not be liable for any delay associated with the event. If this occurs, Unifour undertakes to notify you as soon as reasonably possible and to use all reasonable efforts to deliver the Goods to you at the Location, or an alternative location agreed with you, without further delay.

17.         If your Order is for Goods which include alcohol products, you agree that we may request that you, or a person authorised by you to accept Delivery, provide us with photographic identification confirming proof of age.

18.         If re-delivery of the Goods is required at an alternative time to the scheduled Delivery date or at an alternative location through no fault of Unifour, an additional re-delivery fee may be charged.

21.         Prices, fees and charges for Goods and Services are subject to taxes, including GST, where applicable.

22.         All amounts payable by the Customer under these Trading Terms are payable within 14 days of the date of invoice unless otherwise agreed by Unifour in writing. Late payment shall incur interest at the rate of 10% per annum calculated on a daily basis. Interest shall be payable on all outstanding amounts owed by the Customer to Unifour under these Trading Terms from the date payment was due until the date payment is received in full by Unifour. Unifour reserves all other rights in relation to late payments by the Customer.

Liability

30.         Our Goods come with guarantees which cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. If there is a major failure in relation to the Goods, you are entitled to a replacement or refund for the Goods affected and compensation for any reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. If the failure does not amount to a major failure but the Goods fail to be of acceptable quality, you are entitled to have the Goods repaired (where possible) or replaced. 

31.         Unifour accepts liability to the Customer where not to do so would be illegal, or would make any part of the Trading Terms void or unenforceable. To the extent permitted by law, Unifour only accepts liability to the Customer in connection with the supply of Goods and/or Services to the extent expressly provided in these Trading Terms or as otherwise agreed in writing by Unifour. 

32.         Subject to item 34 of these Trading Terms, Unifour’s maximum liability to the Customer for any loss the Customer suffers or incurs in connection with these Trading Terms or any other liability arising out of or in connection with their subject matter, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), statute or otherwise, is, to the extent permitted by law, limited to the amount the Customer has paid to Unifour for the relevant Goods and/or Services pursuant to these Trading Terms.

33.         Unifour excludes any other liability Unifour might otherwise have to the Customer (whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), statute or otherwise) including for any loss or damage which is:

(a)          special, indirect, incidental or consequential; or

(b)          a loss of revenue, loss of profits, failure to realise expected profits or savings, loss or corruption of data and any other commercial or economic loss of any kind, except and to the extent that such loss or damage arises as a result of our own negligence or wilful misconduct.

34.         Our liability to the Customer for loss or damage of any kind arising out of or in connection with these Trading Terms is reduced to the extent (if any) that the Customer causes or contributes to the loss or damage. This reduction applies whether our liability is in contract, tort (including negligence), under any statute or otherwise.

Exclusion of implied terms

35.         To the extent permitted by law, all terms, conditions, guarantees or warranties that would be implied into these Trading Terms or in connection with the supply of any Goods and/or Services by Unifour under law or statute or custom are excluded. 

Indemnity

36.         Except to the extent that Unifour has caused or contributed to any loss or damage suffered by the Customer, the Customer indemnifies Unifour and shall keep Unifour indemnified against all liability, loss, costs (including legal costs on an indemnity basis), charges and expenses Unifour suffers (either directly or indirectly) in connection with:

(a)          the Customer's breach of these Trading Terms or any other act or omission by the Customer;

(b)          any claim or demand made by a third party against Unifour in connection with the Goods and/or Services supplied to the Customer; and

(c)          Unifour exercising or enforcing its rights under these Trading Terms.

Force Majeure

40.         We will not be liable or responsible for any failure to deliver, or arrange Delivery of, the Goods or to perform any other Services or obligations under these Trading Terms, where such failure is caused by events that are outside our control (Force Majeure Event). A Force Majeure Event includes any act, event, omission or accident beyond our reasonable control, including without limitation, extreme weather events such as cyclones or bushfires resulting in the unavailability of certain Goods. Our performance under these Trading Terms will be deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues.
