ORDERS AND QUOTATIONS
By purchasing a Toast product, the Customer has requested Toast to act as their agent to
supply Goods or perform Services including research, analysis, design, creative, media
placement, managing and updating listings and postings and reporting and may include using
third party sources.
Any Service purchased from Toast will continue until cancelled, in writing, by the Customer
and will take effect one billing cycle following such request.
Orders will be in such form as Toast specifies from time to time.
Where a quotation is given by Toast for the supply of Goods and Services it is valid for 30
days from the date of issue.
Any Order accepted by Toast cannot be subsequently cancelled by the Customer without Toast’s
written consent and payment of any costs and expense that Toast may have incurred or be
liable for as a result of the cancellation.
By accepting these terms, the Customer:
represents that it acquires the Goods and Services for business purposes so that the
Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 ("CGA") does not apply to them and their sale is not a
consumer sale; and
agrees with Toast that Sections 9, 12A, 13 and 14(1) of the Fair Trading Act 1986
("FTA") do not apply to Toast or to any of its directors, employees or contractors
in respect of any contract on these terms and conditions; and
it is fair and reasonable for Toast to contract out of the CGA and FTA.
In providing the Goods and Services, if Toast encounters unforeseen or hidden problems,
Toast will contact the Customer immediately and provide it with an estimate of further costs
to provide the Goods and Services as an adjustment to the Price. The Customer then has the
option of accepting the adjusted Price or terminating the contract and paying Toast all
costs incurred to the date of termination.
At no time during or after the commencement of any agreement by Toast to perform Services
does the Customer obtain any proprietary interest in any of those Services and the Customer
only has a non-exclusive licence to use the Service or Services. All intellectual property
rights attached to any Service remain, at all times, under the sole ownership of Toast.
ACCEPTANCE
When the Customer makes an Order, the Customer accepts these terms and conditions of trade
to the
exclusion of the Customer’s terms and conditions and any prior communication and discussions
whether
oral or written so that the contract between Toast and the Customer is only on the basis of
these
terms and conditions.
PRICES
All Orders will be charged at Prices prevailing at the date of the contract.
Toast may increase those prices by any increase in prices charged to it by its suppliers or
by any reasonable cost of supply between the date of the contract and the date of delivery
or performance of the Goods and Services.
Toast will charge an additional 20% on all supplier costs that are directly attributable to
the supply of the Goods or Services and Toast will notify the Customer of such supplier
costs prior to Toast incurring such costs on behalf of the Customer.
Toast may, at their discretion, charge an additional hourly rate (“urgent work rate”) for
contracts classified by the Customer as being urgent (“urgent work rate”). Where a Customer
notifies that a contract is urgent, Toast will advise the Customer that the urgent work rate
is to apply.
DELIVERY OF THE GOODS AND SERVICES
If the Order specifies the date and place for delivery and performance of the Goods and
Services, then those details apply but if no details are specified then delivery and
performance will take place at the physical address of the Customer notified to Toast.
TIME OF PERFORMANCE
Time is not of the essence of the delivery of Goods or the provision of Services. Any
failure to meet any indicated delivery date is not the breach of a material term of this
contract.
Toast is not responsible for any delay in the delivery of Goods or the provision of
Services. Delivery of Goods by Toast to a carrier is deemed to be delivery to the Customer.
TERMS OF PAYMENT
Unless otherwise specified, payment for all Goods and Services must be made no later than 7
days after the date of invoice by Toast.
Toast may require payment of a deposit of up to 50% of the quoted price by the Customer
prior to its processing any Order.
Toast may require the Customer to make progress payments on such terms as Toast may
reasonably require in order to secure payment of the Price.
Toast may charge interest on all overdue amounts at 2.5% per month over the best overdraft
rate available to Toast on a daily basis from the due date to date of actual payment.
If the Customer fails to pay any account Toast may withhold the release of any further Goods
or Services or certification or documentation relating to the Goods supplied or Services
performed until the account and any associated costs are paid in full.
All costs of or incurred by Toast as a result of a default by the Customer including but not
limited to administration charges, debt collection costs and legal costs as between
solicitor and client are payable by the Customer.
If the Customer defaults in any payment or commits any act of bankruptcy or any act which
would render it liable to be wound up or if a resolution is passed or proceedings are filed
for the winding up of the Customer or if a receiver is appointed for all or any assets of
the Customer, Toast may cancel any Order without prejudice to any other rights it may have
and payment for all completed Orders will immediately become due.
WARRANTIES
Any Goods that are purchased by Toast from suppliers and/or manufacturers are subject to
manufacturer’s warranties and limitations of liability. The Customer agrees that its rights
and remedies in respect of those Goods are only as contained in those manufacturer’s
warranties which Toast is able to assign to the Customer. Any performance of manufactured
standard data given by Toast is based on information supplied by the relevant supplier of
the Good; and
Where the Customer has expressly made known to Toast the particular purpose for which the
Goods or Services are required, and the Customer relies on Toast’s skill or judgment, and
the Goods and Services are of a description which it is in the course of Toast’s business to
supply, Toast warrants that the Goods and Services are reasonably fit for such purpose; and
Where the Goods are bought by description from Toast as a dealer or agent in goods of that
description, the Goods are of merchantable quality except that where the Customer has
examined the Goods upon delivery there is no warranty as regards defects which such
examination ought to have revealed; and
In respect of the Services, Toast warrants that they will be performed to a standard of
reasonable skill and care; and
In respect of the Services, Toast warrants that the Services delivered to the Customer are
the original work of Toast; and
The warranties given shall apply for a period of 30-days following the date of installation
of any Goods or the performance of the Services, such date to be at the sole determination
of Toast; and
The warranties given by manufacturers referred to in in clause 11 (a) and by Toast in clause
11 (d), at Toast’s option in either case, may be satisfied by Toast either replacing the
defective Goods or re-performing the Services at no cost to the Customer or by refunding the
Price paid to the Customer; and
Toast gives no other warranties whether express or implied by law (including the Sale of
Goods Act 1908) and makes no other representations (whether for the purposes of the Fair
Trading Act 1986 or any other legislation); and
Toast will accept no liability for any damages or losses (including loss of profits) arising
as a consequence of any act, default or negligence on the part of Toast or of an employee,
agent or contractor of Toast; and
Notwithstanding anything in clauses 11 (a) and 11 (d), insofar as Toast may be liable for
any loss, damage or injury arising directly or indirectly from any defect in the Goods or
Services, the total liability of Toast, whether in tort, contract or under any other legal
rule or principle, is limited in its aggregate to the lesser of $500 or the cost of
replacing the Goods or re-performing the Services to the required standard; and
Under no circumstances whatsoever is Toast liable to the Customer for direct or indirect,
special, incidental or consequential damages or loss including but not limited to damage or
loss resulting from inability to use the Goods or from defective Services, loss of
anticipated profits, loss by reason of plant shut down, non-operation or increased expense
of operation, service interruption, loss of production, cost of purchased or replacement
power, claims of customers, cost of money, loss of capital or revenue, or for any other
damages or loss, or consequential damages, whether similar or dissimilar or of any nature
arising from any cause whatsoever, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence),
strict liability or any other theory of law and whether or not Toast has been given notice
of the possibility of any such damages or losses occurring; and
No claim relating to Goods and Services will be considered by Toast unless made by the
Customer within fourteen (14) days of supply or installation; and
Where the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA) applies in spite of clause 2 (d) (i), the
Customer has all the rights and remedies provided under the CGA.
PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITIES ACT 1999 (PPSA)
Toast and the Customer acknowledge that these terms constitute a security agreement as
defined by the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 (“PPSA”). For the purposes of the PPSA,
in this clause the term “Collateral” includes the Goods and their proceeds including
insurance payments. The Customer agrees to give Toast a security interest in all of the
Customer’s present and after-acquired property that Toast has supplied as the Goods as the
Collateral and agrees not to allow any person to file a finance statement over any of the
Goods secured by this security agreement without the prior written consent of Toast.
Upon signing these terms, the Customer acknowledges that:
these terms are a security agreement for the purposes of s 36 of the PPSA, and
a security interest is taken in all Goods previously supplied to the Customer and
all Goods that will be supplied in the future by Toast to the Customer during the
continuance of the party’s relationships.
The Customer undertakes to:
Sign any further documents and/or provide any further information which Toast may
reasonably require to register financing statements or financing change statements
on the Personal Properties Securities Register,
Give Toast not less than 14 days prior written notice of any proposed change to the
Customer’s name and will use its best endeavours to ensure that a financing change
statement is registered disclosing its new name; and
Immediately advise Toast of any material change in its business practices of selling
the Goods that would result in a change of the nature of proceeds derived from such
sales.
The Customer waives the rights listed in section 107(2) of PPSA, its right to receive the
notice referred to in section 114(1)(a) of the PPSA, its right to reinstate under sections
133 and 134 and its right to receive verification statements under section 148 of the PPSA.
The Customer agrees that Toast may exercise the rights in sections 108, 109, 111(1) and
120(1) of the PPSA whether or not Toast has priority over all other secured parties, and
that Toast may charge for complying with a demand under s 162 of the PPSA. The Customer will
inform any trustee in bankruptcy or liquidator of the Customer or any receiver of the
Customer’s business or assets of the rights of Toast and title to the proceeds of sale.
The security agreement is a continuing security and will operate irrespective of any
intervening payment or settlement of account until a release has been signed by Toast. The
security interest granted in the Collateral has the same priority in relation to any Goods
supplied to the Customer by Toast at any time.
It is agreed by the Customer that if the Customer fails to pay any account Toast may
withhold the release of any producer statement or other certification or documentation
relating to the work performed until such time as the account and any associated costs are
paid in full.
CONSENTS, ACCESS, STORAGE, AND RISK
The Customer is solely responsible for obtaining any necessary permits and ensuring
compliance with all legislation, regulations, by-laws or rules in connection with the
installation operation and provision of the Goods and Services.
The Customer agrees to provide Toast free of charge with:
all necessary facilities for the delivery of the Goods and Services, including
power, lighting, unloading, hoisting and lifting facilities, labour, site
preparation and compliant employee amenities; and
safe storage facilities are provided for protection against theft and damage of the
Goods or any equipment or other items belonging to Toast.
The Customer is solely responsible for arranging and providing convenient access for the
Goods and provision of Services to the proposed place of installation including stairs, lift
or crane access as the case may require, failing which Toast may a further charge to the
Customer to cover the additional reasonable costs incurred from such failure.
If the Customer cannot take delivery of the Goods or Services, then the Customer is
responsible for all additional charges caused by that failure.
Where installation or supply of the Goods or Services must be coordinated with other
suppliers the Customer must provide Toast with a schedule detailing all relevant information
relating to installation or supply with sufficient time allowed for Toast to meet delivery
or supply dates.
The delivery or supply period will be extended to cover delays caused by strikes, lockouts,
prohibitions, non-availability of materials or any circumstances beyond Toast’s control.
From the time of dispatch to the Customer by Toast, risk in all Goods supplied pass to the
Customer and any loss, damage or deterioration to the Goods is the responsibility of the
Customer. The Customer is liable to pay for the Goods notwithstanding any loss, damage or
deterioration to them.

site and indemnify Toast against any breach by the Customer of the HSWA in respect of the
site.

performance of the Goods and Services or to terminate any contact on these terms and
conditions) if:
a receiver is appointed over any of the assets or undertaking of the Customer;
