These terms and conditions supersede all previous terms and conditions and govern all sales of goods by the Company and are the only contractual terms that bind the Company except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company. These terms and conditions and those otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company, if any, cannot be excluded by law.

Any quotation made by the Company is not to be construed or operate as an offer or obligation to sell. The Company reserves the right to accept or reject all orders it receives in its absolute discretion. Quotations (including the prices included in the quotation) issued by the Company are valid for 7 days.

Quotations for dental equipment can only be accepted by a Purchaser by signing a Dental Equipment Sale Agreement prepared by the Company. Upon receipt of a signed Dental Equipment Sale Agreement, the Company will treat the applicable quotation as an order, that is, a binding contract for the sale of dental equipment.

If the Purchaser, for any reason, cancels an order, the Company is entitled to charge the Purchaser a restocking fee of up to 25% of the total price of the order or the total costs incurred by the Company due to the cancellation, whichever is the greater.

Equipment

The prices payable by the Purchaser are the prices included in a quotation for dental equipment, provided the quotation is less than 30 days old. Otherwise, and in all other cases, the prices payable by the Purchaser are the prices that apply at the date the goods are paid for by the Purchaser, unless otherwise mutually agreed.

Unless otherwise expressly stated, all prices are inclusive of GST.

Consumables

The prices payable by the Purchaser are the prices that apply at the date the goods are paid for by the Purchaser.

If however a Purchaser attempts to purchase goods but they are not available at that time and are placed on back order, then the price for the goods is the price that applies at the date the goods are ordered on back order.

If a price for goods on the Company’s website is incorrect because of human error (which the Company has the sole entitlement to determine), the Company will take steps to immediately correct any such error and a Purchaser is not entitled to the incorrect price for the goods, despite it being stated on the Company’s website. If a Purchaser completes a transaction to purchase goods via the Company’s website in respect of which the price is incorrect because of human error (which the Company has the sole entitlement to determine), the Company reserves the right to rescind that transaction and will refund purchase monies to the Purchaser without delay.

All special or discounted prices, bonuses and offers are subject to change without notice and are only available for the duration of promotions, or while stocks last.

Unless otherwise expressly stated, all prices are inclusive of GST.

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company or otherwise provided on the Company’s invoices or price lists, payment for the goods and all other costs and expenses payable in accordance with these terms and conditions must be made to the Company:

(a) upon delivery of the goods in respect of all dental equipment, including autoclaves;

(b) at the time of purchase in respect of consumable items purchased via the Company’s website; and

(c) within seven (7) days from the date of invoice in respect of all other consumable item and dental handpiece purchases, if sold separately.

The Purchaser may pay by direct deposit (EFT), cash, cheque or credit card (Amex, Master or Visa card). Surcharges at the applicable merchant rate will apply when purchasing dental equipment. That surcharge may, at the Company’s discretion, also apply when buying consumable items.

If the Purchaser delays or defaults in respect of any payment, the Company reserves the right, in addition to other remedies it may have, to charge interest at the rate of 2% per month on outstanding monies, which interest shall be in addition to the purchase price. Such interest is to be calculated from the date of delivery to the date of full payment by the Purchaser. Any payment by the Purchaser will be credited first against the interest accrued to the date of payment.

The Purchaser must pay all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in respect of any action taken by the Company for recovery of unpaid monies or repossession of dental equipment, including but not limited to mercantile agent’s fees, legal fees and solicitors costs on an indemnity basis.

Consumable Items

The Company generally stocks all advertised goods, however due to unexpected circumstances, there is the possibility that the Company may temporarily run out of certain stock items. In this case, the Purchaser’s order will be placed on back order.

Backordered items will be listed in the Purchaser’s invoice and will be delivered to the Purchaser as soon as possible. The Purchaser does not have to pay for back ordered goods until they are delivered.

Dental Equipment

The Company orders dental equipment from its suppliers upon receipt of a Dental Equipment Sale Agreement signed by the Purchaser. The Company will make every effort to ensure all dental equipment ordered is available at the installation date, which date shall be agreed between the Company and the Purchaser. If certain equipment ordered is not available at the date of installation, but the installation can still proceed, then the installation will proceed and the unavailable equipment will be placed on back order.

Backordered items will be listed in the Purchaser’s invoice and will be delivered to the Purchaser as soon as possible. The Purchaser does not have to pay for back ordered equipment until it is delivered.
