Unless otherwise stated in writing or withdrawn, a Quotation is valid for a period of 30 days from the date of the Quotation (the Validity Period). Crossweld is only bound to perform Quotations if it receives unconditional written acceptance of the Quotation from the Customer within the Validity Period, however Crossweld may (in its discretion) permit other forms of acceptance or acceptance after the Validity Period. Quotations are given based on information provided by the Customer and the Customer is solely responsible for the accuracy of any information so provided.

Payments must be made in clear funds to Crossweld (or as Crossweld directs) by the method that Crossweld reasonably requires and without any set of or deduction on any account whatsoever. Crossweld may require the Customer to pay a deposit (whether specified in a Quotation or not) before Crossweld is bound to perform a Quotation or accept an order. The Customer is not entitled to retain any amount from any payments nor to require provision of any securities for the performance of the Works
The Customer agrees to pay any additional amount invoiced for any variations to the Works, being the amount agreed for the variation or in the absence of agreement the reasonable value of the variation (including a reasonable amount for profit, overheads and administrative costs). Crossweld is not obliged to perform any variation requested by the Customer unless the Customer agrees in writing to the price for the variation.
Crossweld will complete the Works (subject to this Contract) in accordance with the time specified in the Accepted Quotation and if not specified in the Accepted Quotation within a reasonable time of the later of date of acceptance of the Accepted Quotation and payment of any deposit required by Crossweld.

Even though the Customer has possession or control over goods, title in those goods does not pass to the Customer but remains with Crossweld until payment for those goods has been received in full. If the Customer defaults in any of these Terms then Crossweld has the right (without giving notice) to retake possession of those goods and the Customer hereby authorises Crossweld or its representatives to enter into any premises upon which those goods are housed or stored for the purpose of retaking possession and Crossweld will not be liable for any costs, loss, damages incurred or lost by the Customer as a result directly or indirectly of Crossweld retaking possession of those goods.

1. Crossweld may at any time register in respect of all or any of those goods its security interest on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR);
2. The Customer must promptly do all things (including signing documents) as may be required to ensure registration of the security interest on the PPSR and must not object to the registration of the security interest on the PPSR;
3. For the purposes of registration, the parties agree that the security interest constitutes a financial statement where the duration is seven years or less;
4. The Customer waives the right to receive notice of a verification statement in relation to any registration of security interest on the PPSR;
5. If chapter 4 of the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) (PPSA) would otherwise apply to the enforcement of the security interest, the Customer agrees the following provisions of the PPSA will not apply to the enforcement of this Contract: Section 95, to the extent that it requires Crossweld to give notice to the Customer, Section 96, Section 121(4), Section 125, Section 130, to the extent that it requires Crossweld to give a notice to the Customer, Section 132(3)(d), Section 132(4), Section 135, Section 142 and Section 143.

5. deliver an invoice for Works completed to the date of termination and/or orders placed on behalf of the Customer (being such reasonable amount as Crossweld in its discretion determines represents the value of those Works or those orders plus an additional 30% of those amounts being genuine pre-estimate of Crossweld’s lost profit and overheads and administrative costs).

The Customer agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified Crossweld against any loss, claim or expense (including legal costs on indemnity basis) relating to any breach of this Contract by the Customer.
Unless Crossweld has agreed to deliver and/or install the Works, Crossweld will notify the Customer when the Works are ready for collection. The Customer must pay Crossweld's holding costs if the goods are not collected within seven days of such notification.
