1.1.1 apply to the sale and supply of products (“Products”) from Cleanaway Equipment Services Pty Ltd (ABN 88 001 576 889) (“Cleanaway”) through the Cleanaway online store accessible via the following website https://store.cleanaway.com.au/ (“Website”);

1.1.2 will prevail over all other conditions of any order for Products (“Order”) to the extent of any inconsistency (except where otherwise agreed by Cleanaway in writing);

1.1.3 may be changed at any time except where they already apply to a particular Agreement (defined below), in which event these Terms may only be changed by agreement between Cleanaway and the Customer; and

1.1.4 will not be read or applied so as to exclude, restrict or modify or have the effect of excluding, restricting or modifying any condition, warranty, guarantee, right or remedy implied by law (including the Competition and Consumer Act 2010) and which by law cannot be excluded, restricted or modified.

2.0 QUOTATIONS

2.1 Prices are as advertised on the Website or as provided in a written quotation. Unless otherwise specified in these Terms, Cleanaway may change the prices for Products at any time without notice. If Cleanaway changes the prices after receiving an Order, Cleanaway will specify the price increase in the relevant Order confirmation, in which case the Customer is entitled to terminate the Order within 5 business days without charge. If the Customer does not terminate within that time period, the Customer will be taken to have accepted the increase in price.

2.2 Where Cleanaway provides a written quotation (addressed to the Customer) for the supply of Products to the Customer, such quotation will be non-transferrable, valid for 14 days and subject to re-quotation thereafter.

2.3 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all prices quoted exclude the cost of delivery to the Customer and the Products are offered subject to stock availability at the time the Customer accepts the quotation. An Order Processing Fee of 0.8% applies in addition to any Product pricing.

2.4 Quoted prices are exclusive of any taxes, or duties. Any applicable taxes or duties arising from the sale of Products under an Agreement will be borne by the Customer.

2.5 All Orders for Products must be placed in the manner and form required by Cleanaway.

2.6 Cleanaway may determine the minimum order quantity for each Order of Products to be supplied.

2.7 All Orders are subject to acceptance by Cleanaway, by way of an Order confirmation. Cleanaway may decline or accept an Order in whole or in part in its absolute discretion (acting reasonably). If Cleanaway accepts an Order, it does not imply Cleanaway will accept any future Orders.

2.8 Once the Customer has received an Order confirmation (and subject to the Customer’s right to terminate under clause 2.1), a separate agreement (“Agreement”) for the purchase of the relevant Products will be formed, comprising:

(i) the relevant Order and Order confirmation; and

(ii) these Terms. 

2.8 If after the Customer has placed an Order and the Customer decides not to purchase the Products in accordance with the Order (and notifies Cleanaway accordingly), Cleanaway may charge the Customer a $50 restocking fee. The Customer also agrees to reimburse Cleanaway for reasonable costs incurred in complying with the Order (including but not limited to, payments made to suppliers for materials) which after using reasonable endeavours, Cleanaway cannot recover or redeploy. Where the Customer has paid for all or part of an Order before the Customer decides not to purchase the Products in accordance with the Order, Cleanaway will offer the Customer a refund if the Order has not been fulfilled or the Customer returns the Products to Cleanaway within 14 days of delivery, provided that Cleanaway may reduce the amount paid to the Customer as part of any refund by an amount equal to any reasonable costs Cleanaway has incurred which, after using reasonable endeavours, Cleanaway cannot recover or redeploy. Cleanaway will substantiate any fees claimed under this clause.

2.9 The Products returned under clause 2.8 must be new, unused, not worn or opened, and have all original packaging, labels and tags intact (including any seals being unbroken), and the Products are in resalable condition.

3.0 TERMS OF PAYMENT

3.1 If the Customer seeks any variation to an Order after Cleanaway has issued an Order confirmation then Cleanaway may (acting reasonably):

3.1.1 accept the variation, and if reasonably necessary advise the Customer of any increases in the quoted prices required to comply with the variation (in which case the Customer may terminate the Order within 5 business days of being advised of the increased pricing); or

3.1.2 decline to accept the variation, and terminate the Order.

If either party terminates under this clause 3.1, and the variation is sought at any time after Cleanaway has incurred reasonable labour costs, purchased goods or materials or commenced production in respect of the Order then the Customer must reimburse Cleanaway for those costs promptly following a request from Cleanaway. Cleanaway will use reasonable endeavours to recover or redeploy those costs before seeking to invoice the Customer.

3.2 Unless otherwise agreed by Cleanaway, payment for Products is to be made by the Customer by clear funds:

3.2.1 at the time of delivery or collection of the Products where Cleanaway provides a valid tax invoice at the time of delivery or collection; or

3.2.2 within 5 business days of Cleanaway providing a valid tax invoice after the time of delivery or collection.

3.3 Cleanaway may in its absolute discretion require payment of a deposit at the time of the Customer placing an Order as a condition to providing an Order confirmation.

3.4 If credit is given the settlement of any given tax invoice is payable within 30 days of the date of delivery or collection of the Products.

3.5 The Customer agrees that all payments are to be made without retention.

3.6 In the event of any payments or part thereof remaining unpaid after such period of 30 days Cleanaway in its absolute discretion may charge interest thereon at the rate of 2 per cent per annum above the rate set out pursuant to Section 2 of the Penalty Interest Rates Act 1983 during the period such unpaid balance remains unpaid and such interest will be added to the said balance due from the Customer to Cleanaway and calculated on a daily basis.

3.7 Notwithstanding the imposition of interest charges pursuant to this Condition 3.0, such interest charges will not be regarded as allowing any time for payment of any amount owing but are agreed as constituting compensation payable to Cleanaway because of the delay in payment and all such outstanding monies will remain immediately due and payable to Cleanaway and Cleanaway will be entitled to take legal proceedings at any time for recovery of any monies bearing interest charges pursuant to this Condition 3.0.

3.8 In addition to Cleanaway’s other rights set out in this Condition 3.0, the Customer agrees that Cleanaway will have the right (although it will not be bound to do so) to suspend delivery to the Customer of all or any outstanding Orders if the Customer is in default of these Terms.

4.6.5 If payment for the Products is not made within 30 days of the due date for payment, Cleanaway may give notice in writing to the Customer to return the Products or any part of them to Cleanaway, in which event the Customer will forfeit any rights to obtain ownership of the Products, the licence granted pursuant to sub-clause 4.6.1 will be terminated and any monies partly paid by the Customer will be forfeited to Cleanaway; and

4.7 The Customer must do all things necessary to assist Cleanaway to perfect and enforce its security interest to the fullest extent available at law, including enabling Cleanaway to gain first priority for its security interest. Accordingly, the Customer must not grant a security interest in the equipment to any other party without Cleanaway’ prior written consent.

5.3 The Customer will within 5 business days from the date of delivery give written notice to Cleanaway to allege that the Products are not in accordance with its Order. If the Customer does not give such notice then subject to the extent permitted by law, the Products will be deemed to have been accepted by the Customer.

5.4 If the Products do not comply with the relevant Order, the Customer must promptly allow Cleanaway to inspect the Products and provide Cleanaway with any reasonably required information.

6.0 WARRANTIES, LIABILITY AND TERMINATION

6.1 Cleanaway does not limit or exclude the application of any provision of any statute (including the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) if the Customer is a ‘consumer’ as defined, or any similar law) where to do so would contravene that statute or cause any part of this clause to be void.

6.2.1 replacing the Products or supplying equivalent Products;

6.2.2 fixing the Products;
