Cayked Terms & Conditions of Trade
Terms and Conditions of Trade
These Terms and Conditions apply to all goods and services supplied by CAYKED PTY LTD ABN 61 655 261 706 (“Supplier”, “we”, “us” or “our”).
“Customer”, “you” and “your” mean the person or business ordering or purchasing goods or services from us.
By placing an order, accepting a quotation, making payment, accepting delivery, or continuing to trade with us after receiving these Terms, you agree to be bound by them.
1. Orders
1.1 An order submitted by you is an offer to purchase and is not binding on us until we accept it.
1.2 We may decline an order because of product availability, account default, credit-limit issues or other reasonable commercial grounds.
1.3 You are responsible for ensuring that all order specifications, quantities, delivery details and contact information are accurate.
1.4 Any terms contained in your purchase order or other document do not replace or vary these Terms unless we expressly agree in writing.
2. Payment
2.1 Payment in full in cleared funds is required before delivery or collection unless we have approved credit terms for you in writing.
2.2 We are not required to reserve, dispatch, deliver or release goods until cleared payment has been received.
2.3 Where we have approved credit terms, invoices must be paid in full within 14 calendar days from the invoice date unless we agree otherwise in writing.
2.4 Providing credit for a previous order does not mean that credit has been approved for future orders.
2.5 If part of an invoice is genuinely disputed, you must notify us promptly and provide reasonable details. The undisputed portion remains payable by its due date.
3. Credit limits
3.1 We may establish a credit limit for an approved credit customer.
3.2 We may reasonably reduce, suspend or withdraw a credit limit after considering your payment history, financial position, amount outstanding or credit risk.
3.3 We may require payment before further supply if:
-
an amount is overdue;
-
you exceed your credit limit;
-
your financial position materially deteriorates; or
-
we reasonably believe payment is at risk.
3.4 Suspension or withdrawal of credit does not affect your obligation to pay existing amounts.
4. Prices and GST
4.1 Unless stated otherwise, prices are exclusive of GST, delivery charges and other disclosed charges.
4.2 GST will be added where applicable.
4.3 The applicable price is the price shown in our accepted quotation, order confirmation or price list applying when we accept the order.
4.4 We may correct an obvious pricing or calculation error before delivery. If the corrected price is higher, you may cancel the affected order without a cancellation fee.
5. Minimum orders and delivery charges
Unless otherwise agreed in writing:
-
the minimum metro delivery order is $150 excluding GST;
-
the minimum regional delivery order is $300 excluding GST;
-
the metro delivery charge is $6.50 excluding GST; and
-
the regional delivery charge is $11.50 excluding GST.
We may reasonably update these amounts from time to time. Updated amounts only apply to orders placed after they take effect.
Any additional freight, urgent-delivery, redelivery or special-handling fee will be disclosed before we accept the relevant order.
6. Prepayment discounts
6.1 Unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing, every discount, rebate, promotional allowance, special price or other price reduction offered by us is a prepayment discount.
6.2 A prepayment discount is conditional upon us receiving payment in full in cleared funds before delivery or collection.
6.3 If full payment is not received before delivery or collection, the prepayment discount is automatically withdrawn and the applicable undiscounted price becomes payable.
6.4 If we permit an order to be delivered before payment, this does not preserve the prepayment discount unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing.
6.5 Where we have approved credit terms, no discount applies unless the discount and its conditions are expressly confirmed by us in writing.
6.6 If an approved credit customer receives a conditional discount and an undisputed amount remains overdue for more than seven days, all discounts applied to the overdue invoice and any other invoice then outstanding may be withdrawn.
6.7 If a discount is withdrawn, the difference between the discounted price and the applicable undiscounted price becomes immediately due and payable.
6.8 A withdrawn discount will not be reinstated unless we agree in writing.
6.9 We will not withdraw a discount from an invoice that was previously paid in accordance with the conditions applying to that discount.
7. Overdue accounts
7.1 An undisputed amount is overdue if it has not been paid in cleared funds by its due date.
7.2 Interest accrues on an undisputed overdue amount from the day after its due date until payment in full at the rate of 2% per month, equivalent to 24% per annum, calculated daily on a simple-interest basis and not compounded.
7.3 If an undisputed amount remains overdue for more than seven days, we may charge an overdue-account administration fee of $20 excluding GST for each month, or part of a month, during which the account remains overdue.
7.4 The $20 administration fee is charged once per Customer account per month, not separately for each overdue invoice, and represents our reasonable administrative costs arising from the overdue account.
7.5 You must reimburse us for reasonable and documented costs actually incurred in recovering an overdue amount, including collection-agency commissions, court fees and reasonable legal costs, to the extent permitted by law.
7.6 We will not recover the same cost or loss more than once through interest, administration fees, withdrawn discounts or recovery costs.
8. Default
8.1 You are in default if:
-
an undisputed amount is not paid by its due date;
-
you materially breach these Terms and do not remedy a remediable breach within seven days after written notice;
-
information provided by you was materially false or misleading;
-
you exceed an approved credit limit and do not rectify the position after notice; or

you become insolvent or subject to external administration, subject to applicable insolvency laws.

collected by you or your representative; or
-
handed to a carrier nominated by you.
10.4 Risk of loss or damage passes to you upon delivery.
10.5 A timestamped photograph, signed delivery docket, carrier scan, GPS record or similar record is evidence of delivery. You may provide credible evidence showing that delivery did not occur or was made incorrectly.
10.6 We may make partial deliveries and invoice each delivery separately.
10.7 You must pay reasonable redelivery or storage costs resulting from incorrect instructions, unsafe access or your failure to accept delivery.

keep the goods adequately insured;

not grant an inconsistent security interest over the goods; and

notify us if the goods are lost, damaged, sold, processed or incorporated into other goods.

you will promptly notify us of material changes to your ownership, legal identity, contact details or financial position.

supplying the services again; or
