AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS PTY. LTD are subject to the standard Terms &
Conditions of Sale as published from time to time by the Company. The
following conditions of Warranty and Returns are also applicable.
Any modification to Terms / Conditions, Warranty or Returns will only be
recognised if specifically agreed to and in writing by LOVELLS AUTOMOTIVE
SYSTEMS PTY. LTD.
1. Interpretation
In these Terms and Conditions of Sale (“Terms”), “Goods” means the goods
subject of the Contract; LOVELLS AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS PTY. LTD. means the
entity selling the Goods; “Buyer” means the entity purchasing the Goods;
“Contract” means each contract between LOVELLS AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS
PTY. LTD. and the Buyer for the sale and purchase of the Goods and “order”
includes “offer”.
2. Terms and Conditions
The only terms of the Contract are those agreed to in writing by LOVELLS
AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS PTY. LTD. These Terms (to the extent they are not
inconsistent with terms agreed to in writing by LOVELLS AUTOMOTIVE
SYSTEMS PTY. LTD.) and those which are implied or imposed by law (including
the Trade Practices Act 1974) to the extent that it is not lawful or possible to
exclude them. All other terms, conditions and warranties are expressly
excluded. If a conflict arises between the terms of any order made by Buyer
and these Terms, these Terms will prevail.
An agreement to deliver the Goods in instalments is taken to be a separate
Contract for each instalment. These Terms and each Contract including them
are governed by the laws of New South Wales and LOVELLS AUTOMOTIVE
SYSTEMS PTY. LTD. and Buyer submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of that
State. If a term is held to be unenforceable, the remaining terms will apply.
