Terms & Conditions
of Supply

This Agreement 

• This Agreement applies to every contract for the sale of goods or services by Dashing Print to the Customer.
• Any written quotation provided by Dashing Print to the Customer is valid for 14 days from the date of the quotation and may only be accepted by the Customer by written notice.
• When a quotation has been accepted by the Customer, the resultant contract may not be cancelled or varied without the consent of Dashing Print.

Pricing and payment for goods and services

• Prices quoted exclude GST, which must be paid by the Customer.
• Prices include the cost of delivery unless otherwise stated in Dashing Print’s quotation.
• The Customer must pay for goods within 30 days of the date of invoice, or earlier if the Customer’s approved credit limit is exceeded.
• If the Customer fails to make timely payment for goods and services, or if a Customer account is overdue for payment, then Dashing Print may in its discretion:
• charge the Customer interest at 10% per annum from the date the payment was due until the date payment is made;
• suspend the supply of any further goods or services;
• vary or withdraw any approved credit limit and/or terms of trade including cancelling any rebate, discount or allowance otherwise due or payable by Dashing Print;
• terminate any contract with the Customer and demand immediate payment of all moneys then owing by the Customer, without affecting a party’s accrued rights (if any);
• institute any recovery proceedings.

When does risk and legal title to the goods pass to the Customer

• Goods supplied by Dashing Print to the Customer are at the Customer’s risk from the earlier of delivery to the Customer or the Customer’s carrier or forwarder. The Customer must insure the goods from delivery of the goods until they are paid for in full, against all usual business risks.
• Property in the goods does not pass to the Customer until paid for in full in accordance with Section 6 above. Until then:

(a) the Customer must store the goods in a manner that shows clearly they are the property of Dashing Print, and must maintain records of the goods, secure the goods from damage or loss and ensure that the goods are kept in good condition; and

(b) the Customer may sell the goods, in the ordinary course of its business, but all proceeds of sale (and any insurance payments) shall be held in trust for Dashing Print and must immediately be paid to Dashing Print upon receipt of any payment.

• Dashing Print’s interest in the goods constitutes a ‘purchase money security interest’ pursuant to the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (PPSA). The Customer must not grant any security interest over the goods to any other person. The Customer shall execute documents and provide all information required for Dashing Print to register its security interest. Where Dashing Print has rights in addition to those under part 4 of the PPSA, those rights will continue to apply. The Customer irrevocably grants to Dashing Print the right to enter upon the Customer’s property or premises, without notice, and without being in any way liable to the Customer or to any third party, if Customer has failed to pay Dashing Print in accordance with the terms of Section 6 above and Dashing Print has cause to exercise any of its rights under sections 123, 128 or any other provision of the PPSA.

Delays in delivery of goods and services

• If a delivery date is specified, that date is an estimate only and Dashing Print is not liable for any reasonable delay in delivery. The Customer must accept delivery and pay for the goods delivered, including transport costs if applicable, if they are delivered within a reasonable time after any specified delivery date.  If, through circumstances beyond Dashing Print’s reasonable control, Dashing Print is unable to effect delivery of goods or provision of services, then Dashing Print may cancel the Customer’s order in whole or in part, by notice in writing (without liability for any loss or damage), and shall refund the Customer any payments made by Customer for such goods and/or services.

Information

• Dashing makes no warranty or representation as to the accuracy of any descriptions, illustrations and material contained in any catalogue, price list, brochure, leaflet, specification sheets or other descriptive materials provided by Dashing Print to the Customer.
• Artwork:
• Dashing Print is entitled to modify the design, drawings or specifications supplied by the Customer if the modification does not materially affect the quality or usage of the goods by the Customer.
• Dashing Print cannot ensure an exact match in colour or texture between the Customer’s artwork (including electronic graphic files or previously printed materials or any other materials supplied by the Customer) and the final delivered goods. The Customer acknowledges and accepts that there are acceptable levels of colour variation from print run to print run, from stock to stock, from back to front and between different printing processes.
• The Customer acknowledges that trimming may vary by up to 1 millimeter from the proof, specification or print job to print job and that such variation will not constitute a fault in the print job.
• Due to the difficulty of producing exact quantities, Dashing Print shall not be liable for delivering incorrect quantities provided that if incorrect quantities are supplied, then the Customer’s sole remedy is:
• refund of monies paid for any shortage; or
• to require a re-print of the shortage quantity.
• Faulty Goods or Services
• Dashing Print will not be liable for any defect in goods or services which are based in whole or in part upon any designs, drawings or specifications supplied by the Customer.
• The Customer must inspect all goods or services immediately following delivery or completion of the services. Dashing Print will not be liable for any defects, shortages, damage or non-compliance unless the Customer notifies Dashing Print in writing with full details within 7 business days of delivery of the goods or provision of the services.  If the Customer does not give such notice, the Customer is deemed to have accepted the goods or services.
• Dashing Print will not accept goods for return that have been altered in any way or have been used.
• To the maximum extent permitted by law, these terms and conditions exclude all other conditions, guarantees, warranties, liabilities or representations in relation to the goods and/or services. Where legislation implies any condition or warranty that cannot be excluded or modified, then to the extent permitted by law, the liability of Dashing Print for a breach of any such condition or warranty is limited, at Dashing Print’s election to any one or more of the following:

(a) In the case of goods:

(i)  replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods;

(ii) payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods; or

(iii) repayment of any part of the purchase price of the goods which has been paid by the Customer; and

(b) In the case of services:

(i) by supplying the services again; or

(ii) repayment of any amount paid for such services.

• Dashing Print is not liable for any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever and howsoever arising out of or in connection with the supply of any of the goods or services (including without limitation loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of contract, loss of goodwill or increased cost of workings), even if due to the negligence of Dashing Print or any of its employees or agents. In no event shall Customer be liable for any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage suffered or incurred by Dashing Point, howsoever caused, including loss of turnover, profits, business or goodwill.

Intellectual property associated with the goods and services

• Any Dashing Print Materials (and the Intellectual Property subsisting in the Dashing Print Materials) provided to the Customer by Dashing Print remains Dashing Print’s exclusive property and the Customer acknowledges that the Customer has no proprietary right or interest in the Dashing Print Materials or Dashing Print’s Intellectual Property.
• All Dashing Print Materials and Dashing Print’s Intellectual Property must be returned to Dashing Print on demand and the Customer must not:
• copy or disclose any Dashing Print Materials or Dashing Print’s Intellectual Property to any third party without Dashing Print’s express written consent; or
• create, sell, manufacture or process any goods or services which use or take advantage of any Dashing Print Materials or Dashing Print’s Intellectual Property.
• Where the Customer provides its own materials, data or information, including literary and artistic works (Client Materials) for use by Dashing Print to fulfil any order, the Customer warrants that:
• the Customer owns (or is licensed to use) the Client Materials and the Intellectual Property in those Client Materials; and
• the use of the Client Materials by Dashing Print will not infringe the Intellectual Property rights of any third party, and the Customer hereby grants Dashing Print a licence to use the Client Materials and the Intellectual Property therein solely for the purpose of fulfilling the Customer’s orders and providing the goods and services under this Agreement.
• The Customer indemnifies and agrees to keep Dashing Print indemnified against all liability, losses or expenses (‘Loss or Damage’) incurred by Dashing Print in relation to, or in any way directly or indirectly connected with, the use of the Client Materials. Dashing Print indemnifies and agrees to keep Customer indemnified against all liability, losses or expenses incurred by the Customer in relation to, or in any way directly or indirectly connected with, any infringement of any third party’s intellectual property rights arising from the use of the Dashing Print Materials.  The obligation on a party to indemnify the other party for any Loss or Damage will be proportionately reduced to the extent that any Loss or Damage has been caused or contributed to by the acts or omissions of the indemnified party, its employees, agents or contractors.

Privacy obligations

• Dashing Print is bound by the Privacy Act and takes steps to ensure that all personal information obtained in connection with the Customer will be appropriately collected, stored, used, disclosed and transferred in accordance with the Privacy Act.
