Refund and Returns Policy
ACCEPTANCE OF ORDERS Any quotation given by WASCA lapses if not accepted within 7 days. WASCA will only accept orders which are accompanied by payment of the required deposit (if any). All quoted prices are exclusive of GST.
2. TERMS OF PAYMENT Terms of payment where WASCA has accepted the Customer’s credit application are unless agreed otherwise by WASCA, 30 days from the end of the month of invoice. If payment is not made within the above terms WASCA is entitled to calculate and charge daily interest at a rate not greater than the maximum interest rate charged by ANZ on its credit card accounts from time to time, and WASCA reserves the right to recover from Customer all costs, expenses and charges incurred by WASCA in undertaking any debt recovery action, including legal fees on a full indemnity basis.
3. MINIMUM INVOICE / ORDER VALUE Due to the administrative cost of each order, we are unable to process orders below $100.00 invoice value.
4. DEFAULT If Customer defaults in payment, fails to accept delivery of goods, or an application is made to a court to wind up Customer, or a receiver or administrator or trustee-in-bankruptcy is appointed to manage the affairs of Customer, then WASCA may terminate the contract and may recover from Customer reasonable compensation for materials purchased and ordered and labour expended in complying with Customer’s orders.
5. DELIVERY AND RISK While WASCA will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver by the date specified, it does not guarantee delivery on that date and is not liable for any Loss resulting from late delivery. Risk in the goods passes to Customer at the time of delivery. Delivery to Customer is deemed to occur at the time of delivery to Customer, its agent or carrier.
6. PASSING OF PROPERTY Customer agrees that property in the goods is retained by WASCA until payment by Customer of all sums owing to WASCA, whether under this contract or otherwise. If Customer fails to pay by the due date any amount owing to WASCA, WASCA may (without prejudice to any of its other rights) recover and resell any goods in which property has not passed to Customer, and Customer hereby authorises WASCA to enter onto the premises where the goods are kept to take possession of the goods for that purpose at any time. If Customer sells or purports to sell any goods supplied by WASCA in which property has not passed to Customer, then Customer does so as a fiduciary for WASCA. The proceeds of such sale are the property of WASCA to the extent of any money owed to it by Customer. Customer must account to WASCA for that portion of the proceeds of sale, and WASCA may trace the proceeds of any such sale. Customer consents to registration by Seller of a financing statement under the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) (“the PPSA”) to perfectthe purchase money security interest created by this clause. Customer also agrees to the contracting out by Seller of each of the obligations which it is permitted to contract out of by Section 115 of the PPSA.
7. CANCELLATIONS AND RETURNS Any request by Customer for cancellation of an order must be in writing. Customer is liable to reimburse WASCA for the costs it has incurred for labour, freight and materials in fulfilling the order up to the date the request for cancellation is received by WASCA. WASCA will accept returns of standard goods provided the goods are: (i) unused; (ii) in their original packaging, and (iii) returned within 14 days of delivery; WASCA reserves the right to charge a $50 administration fee for the return of goods which are not faulty. WASCA will not accept the return of goods manufactured to Customer’s order, unless the goods are faulty.
