TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE

These Terms and Conditions form part of any agreement by the Credit Provider ("we" or "us" or "our") to supply Goods to you by way of sale.

1. Price & Description

The price and description of Goods are as notified from time to

time. We may change the price at any time without prior

notice. Any description of Goods is given by way of

identification only and the use of that description does not

constitute a sale by description. Pharmacy Account Holders

are responsible for ensuring that the type of Goods ordered are

suitable for your intended use of them and we are not liable to you

for any Goods you order which are unsuitable for your intended

use.

2. Rebates / Discounts (Pharmacy Account Holders only. This

clause does not apply to Retail Account Holders).

You on your own behalf or on behalf of your buying group

and we may enter into separate agreement for the provision

and management of Rebates. In the absence of any such

agreement:

(a) You may become entitled to Rebates from time to time,

including Rebates granted by us if you meet the qualifying

criteria in clause 2(b). Rebates to you will be calculated in

accordance with clause 2(c).

(b) Rebates will generally be applied on a monthly or

quarterly basis. If during each relevant monthly/quarterly

period the percentage value of Goods you purchase

from us (as a percentage of total value of the Goods that

you purchased from us and goods purchased from other

suppliers during that period) meets our threshold

requirements (as per the Manual), you will be entitled to

Rebates calculated in accordance with clause 2(c).

(c) Any entitlement to Rebates shall be calculated by

applying the applicable Rebate percentage against the

total (GST exclusive) value of the PBS rebateable products

purchased and/or OTC rebateable products from us

excluding generics and Direct Products (as per the

Manual) during the relevant monthly/quarterly period.

Rebates shall not be paid in cash but shall be made by

way of a monthly/quarterly off-statement Rebate or an

adjustment to relevant invoices or direct to a relevant

account where applicable as we determine.

(d) In addition to our rights in clauses 2(e) and 13.2(g),

entitlement to any Rebates in respect of any

month/quarter is conditional on your having paid us in full

for Goods purchased during that month/quarter within

agreed payment terms and may be recouped by us for

non-compliance. This means that if you have not paid us

in full for Goods purchased in a particular month/quarter

within agreed payment terms we will subsequently

invoice you an amount equivalent to the Rebates

provided to you in that month/quarter..

(e) We reserve the right to modify any Rebates on the

occurrence of a change in the market or regulatory

environment.

3. Payment

3.1 If you have a pre-approved account limit with us our terms

are strictly 25 days (Pharmacy Account Holder and Retail

Account Holder) from date of statement unless otherwise

agreed.

3.2 If you pay any of our invoices by way of credit card we are

entitled to require you to reimburse us for any fees incurred by

us or deducted from the payment to us.

3.3 Payments made by Amex Charge Card are received by us

on account only and will be only provisionally credited by us

to your account until you have paid in full the amount due to

Amex on account of such payments, in accordance with the

Amex Charge Card Conditions. For the credit to your

account to become unconditional, you must pay Amex the

sums due to it on account of such payments and strictly in

accordance with the Amex Charge Card Conditions. In the

event that you do not do so then the provisional credit shall

be reversed and we may recover from you the value of the

relevant Goods or services and such other sums as are due

pursuant to this Agreement. In that event, we will be entitled

to invoice you again for the value of the relevant Goods and

services and such other sums as are due pursuant to this

Agreement and you shall pay to us the amount so invoiced

forthwith.

3.4 Unless we expressly agree to the contrary in writing, if one or

more invoices are outstanding, all of the proceeds of any

payment made by you (or on your behalf) shall be allocated

and credited firstly to any interest accrued on any

outstanding invoices, secondly to the oldest invoice

outstanding and then to each more recent invoice (in order

from the oldest to the most recent) until all invoices are paid

in full.

4. Account Limit

4.1 Normally, we allow you to purchase and continue to

purchase Goods as long as the total of your account

including the cost of services we provide (if any) does not

exceed your pre-approved account limit (if applicable).

4.2 We may require further trade references or reports from you

from time to time and additional information if you apply to

increase your account limit.

4.3 We may increase or decrease your account limit at our

absolute discretion.

4.4 You agree that you will on our request also provide us further

supporting documentation which may include:

(a) evidence that you have been incorporated for at least 12

months; and/or

(b) a copy of your audited financial statements (which must

not be more than 12 months old).

4.5 In no circumstances are we obliged to accept any application for

an increase in the limit of your account and we are not

obliged to give you reasons for our decision.

4.6 If any account that you have with us is not settled within our

payment terms, you agree that, in addition to any other right

we may have, we may suspend all sales and delivery of Goods

to you on any account whatsoever and/or close this account

and any other r account you have with us.

5. Administration Fee

An administration fee will be payable at our discretion for any

claim of credit on a return of any supply by you.

6. Delivery

6.1 Delivery takes place at the time:

(a) Goods pass into your or your agent's exclusive physical

control;

(b) when you collect Goods or arrange for their collection

from us; or

(c) when ownership of Goods has passed to you,

whichever is earlier.

6.2 Unless we agree otherwise, you are responsible for all delivery

costs.

6.3 Any date for delivery of Goods indicated by us is an estimated

date for delivery only. We are under no liability for any loss,

including consequential loss, or damage, however it arises, if

Goods are not delivered or supplied by that date. In no case

shall we be liable for any amount payable by you to a third

party as a result of a failure or delay in delivery by us due to

any cause whatsoever.

6.4 If agreed by us we will deliver Goods to the address

nominated by you. If we deliver Goods then you or your

representative shall be present at the agreed place and time

for delivery. If you or your representatives are not present, we

may unload the Goods at that place in which case the Goods

will be deemed to have been delivered and we will not be

responsible for any claims, costs or losses suffered by you.

7. Risk

7.1 At all times from the date of delivery, Goods are at your risk of

loss or damage and you are responsible for their safe

custody. It is up to you to arrange your own insurance.

7.2 If any Goods are damaged or destroyed prior to property in

them passing to you, we are entitled without prejudice to

any of our other rights or remedies under the Terms and

Conditions (including the right to receive payment of all the

balance of the price for Goods) to receive all insurance

proceeds payable for the Goods. This applies whether or not

10 of 14 Version 01/2015 to take effect from 1 March 2015

the price has become payable under contract. The

production of these Terms and Conditions by us is sufficient

evidence of our right to receive the insurance proceeds

without the need for any person dealing with us to make

further enquiries.

8. Ownership

8.1 The ownership of Goods supplied to you shall not pass to you

and shall remain with us until the later of:

(a) unconditional payment in full to us for those Goods; and

(b) unconditional payment in full of all other monies, fees or

charges owing or unpaid by you to us on any account

including in respect of Goods previously or subsequently

supplied to you.

For the avoidance of doubt, a payment made by an Amex

Charge Card is unconditional only where you comply strictly

with the Amex Charge Card Conditions in relation to such

payments, including payment of such sums as are due to

Amex as a result of such payments.

8.2 You will hold the Goods as a fiduciary and as bailee for us

and will be responsible for any loss, damage or conversion

of our Goods.

8.3 The Goods shall be stored by you in a manner as to show

clearly that they remain our property until such time as the

Goods have been paid for in full. We may enter onto your

premises to inspect the Goods or inspect your books or

records regarding the Goods at any time.

8.4 You may sell the Goods in the ordinary course of your

business for full market value at arms’ length to a bona fide

purchaser for value without notice of this clause provided

that:

(a) you must hold all monies you receive for the sale of the

Goods (Proceeds) as bailee, fiduciary agent and trustee

for us and not by way of security up to an amount equal

to all monies, fees or charges owing or unpaid by you to

us on any account including in respect of Goods

supplied to you. We have the right to trace and claim

Proceeds. Receipt by you of payment shall be treated

as conclusive evidence that you have received

Proceeds; and

(b) you account to us for all Proceeds which must be kept in

a separate account on trust for us for that purpose until

accounted for to us.

8.5 If the Goods are processed or comingled with other goods

to produce another product, you must hold such part of the

proceeds of that product that relates to the Goods in trust

for us up to an amount equal to all monies, fees or charges

owing or unpaid by you to us on any account including in

respect of Goods supplied to you.

8.6 For the purposes of identification of different shipments of

Goods purchased from us and receipt of Proceeds you

agree that the principle of “First In, First Out” shall be applied

to any items that cannot be distinguished.

8.7 You shall ensure that the Goods are not and will not be

subject to any security interest, including a lien, granted or

created in favor of any third party (whether under contract,

statue or common law) without our prior written consent.

Without limiting our rights, if you become aware of a third

party’s interest in or relating to a security interest, including

a lien, in respect of the Goods, you shall notify us

immediately in writing and provide us with all relevant details

relating to the security interest, including the third party’s full

name and contact details, the nature of the security interest

and the Goods subject to the security interest.

8.8 Where you sell those Goods you will sell as principal and you

have no power to commit us to any contract or otherwise or

liability but as between you and us you will sell as fiduciary

agent.

8.9 Despite this clause we are entitled to maintain an action

against you for the purchase price of the Goods.

and Conditions unless you have obtained our prior written

consent. Any change in any ownership interest shall be treated

as an assignment. Any assignment by you without our consent

shall release us (at our discretion) from our obligations under

these Terms and Conditions and clause 13.3 will apply.

then, whether the property in the Goods has passed to you

or remains with us, we may dispose of the Goods and may

claim from you our loss on such disposal.

13.4 If the arrangements provided under this clause constitute a credit

contract as defined in the National Credit Code the time for

payment of any overdue account is limited to a total period

not more than 62 days from the date of statement. Nothing in

this clause imposes an obligation on us to extend our payment

term to you for any period at all.

because we exercise our rights under this clause.
