2.6 The Purchaser must ensure that the terms of its order and any applicable Quotation are complete and accurate.
2.7 Any quotation is given on the basis that no contract will come into existence until the Supplier dispatches an acknowledgement of order to the Purchaser. Any quotation is valid for a period of 30 days only from its date, provided that the Supplier has not previously withdrawn it.
2.8 Any deposit paid following acceptance of a Quotation is refundable provided however that the Supplier shall be entitled to deduct, in the event of cancellation of an order by a Purchaser, the whole value of work completed in relation to the Contract and consequential costs relating to the order.

3.1 The description of the Goods shall be as set out in the Supplier's Quotation Document.
3.2 All drawings, descriptive matter, Quotations and advertising issued by the Supplier and any descriptions or illustrations contained in the Supplier's catalogues or brochures are issued or published for the sole purpose of giving an approximate idea of the Goods described in them. They will not form part of this Contract.

4.4 Invoiced amounts shall be due and payable in accordance with any Payment Schedule contained within the Quotation Document or Agreement for Sale and Purchase.

The Supplier shall be entitled to charge interest on overdue invoices from the date when payment becomes due from day to day until the date of payment at a rate of 2% per annum above the base rate for overdrafts charged by the ANZ Bank Limited. In the event that the Customer's procedures require that an invoice be submitted against a purchase order to payment, the Customer shall be responsible for issuing such purchase order before the goods and services are supplied.

7.4 Where the Supplier gives written notice to the Purchaser agreeing to perform alterations on terms different to those already agreed between the parties, and the Purchaser confirms in writing that it wishes the alterations to proceed on those terms, the Quotation Document shall be amended to reflect such alterations and thereafter the Supplier shall perform this Agreement upon the basis of such amended terms.
