AMBER TECHNOLOGY TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
The following terms (which may be reviewed from time to time as notified to the Customer) shall be incorporated into each contract between the Customer and the Company for the supply of Goods.
1. VALIDITY
(a) Unless previously withdrawn by the Company, all quotations are valid for thirty (30) days from the date of the quotation, but a quotation does not give rise to a binding contract until the Customer's order has been accepted by the Company.
2. GOODS AND SERVICES TAX (GST)
(a) Unless specifically stated to the contrary, all prices quoted shall be exclusive of GST.
3. PRICE
(a) The Customer is bound to pay the price specified in the quotation from the time that the Company accepts the Customer’s order.
(b) Prices quoted are based on ruling award wages, charges currently made by the Company’s suppliers and current rates for freight, ordinary marine insurance, customs duties, landing, clearing and delivery charges and other taxes and duties in respect of the Goods (Charges). In the event that there is an increase in any Charges after the date of the quotation, the Company reserves the right to increase the price stated in the quotation by such an amount as the Company deems necessary to take account of such increase in Charges.
(c) Prices quoted are based on the work in respect of the installation of the Goods being carried out during normal working hours. If the Customer requires such work or any part thereof to be carried out outside normal working hours, the Company reserves the right unless otherwise stated herein, to increase the price by such an amount as it deems necessary to take account of such requirement.
(d) If the Company is subjected to increased costs attributable to delays caused by the failure of the Customer or contractors for whom the Customer is responsible to meet their respective obligations, it reserves the right to increase the price by such amount as it deems necessary to take account of such increased costs.
(e) Unless otherwise specified, prices quoted in respect of any Goods being purchased by the Company from an overseas supplier are based on the telegraphic transfer selling rate prevailing at the date of the quotation between New Zealand currency and the currency in which payment is required to be made by the Company to the supplier of the Goods described in the quotation. The Customer hereby expressly agrees to indemnify the Company against any loss occasioned to the Company by a variation between such rate and the rate prevailing on the date when EITHER the Letter of Credit established by the Company with its bankers is actually drawn upon by the original vendor OR actual payment is made to the original vendor in some manner other than by Letter of Credit but otherwise in accordance with the terms of the contract between the Company and the original vendor.
4. VARIATION
(a) In the event of any variation in the Goods or to the work in respect of the installation of the Goods or any additional Goods or work in respect of the installation of such additional Goods being requested by the Customer, notice of any such variation or addition must be given to the Company in writing as soon as possible showing full and detailed information thereof. Upon receipt of such information the Company will prepare a schedule of the variations requested by the Customer, and submit in duplicate to the Customer the prices and terms and conditions for the variations concerned. No variation work in respect of installation of the Goods will be commenced unless and until the Company receives a signed acknowledgement from the Customer of the terms and conditions and price or prices of such variations.

5. DELIVERY OR COMPLETION PERIOD
If any delivery or completion period is quoted by the Company it shall be deemed to be given on the following basis:
(a) In the case of standard Goods, the delivery or completion period stated in any quotation made by the Company is subject to prior sale and/or confirmation of availability of Goods by the Company's supplier.
(b) In the case of Goods which are in part or all subject to special design, manufacture or other non standard requirements, the delivery or completion period stated in any quotation made by the Company is subject to the Customer having given the Company full final and adequate instructions and/or drawings and having fulfilled any other requirement specified by the Company to enable the Company to proceed uninterruptedly with the supply and/or manufacture of the Goods.

Should the Customer fail to comply with this provision the Company may cease deliveries and/or leave the site with any re-establishment or other costs thereby incurred to be borne entirely by the Customer.
(b) Should the Customer intend to arrange lease or hire purchase finance for the purchase of the Goods or any part thereof, the Customer shall notify the Company of such intention and shall arrange for the lease or hire purchase documentation to be completed in sufficient time to permit settlement to be effected by the finance company on or before the date of delivery or installation.
