  1. Retention of Title to the Products Pending Payment

Title to and property in all Products supplied by Zoo Pets is retained by Zoo Pets until such time as the Customer has paid in full all debts outstanding by the Customer to Zoo Pets or until the Customer has resold and delivered the relevant Product to a genuine arms length customer. Until ownership of the Products has passed to the Customer, the Customer shall keep the Products in question as fiduciary agent and bailee for and on behalf of Zoo Pets, and shall keep the Products properly stored, protected and insured. The Customer shall, if directed by Zoo Pets, store the Products supplied in such a way that it is clear that they are the property of Zoo Pets and that title remains with Zoo Pets.

  1. Claims and Returns

Except for Zoo Pets’ products that are deemed and proven to be defective at the time of sale to the Customer, Zoo Pets shall not be obligated to accept any of the Products that are returned. Any returns will be at the discretion of Zoo Pets and if approved to be returned, must be accompanied by a return authorisation number. In the event such returns are accepted, Zoo Pets may impose a restocking charge.

Any claims on goods delivered must be made to Zoo Pets within 48 hours of receipt. Please contact Zoo Pets Customer Service by Telephone or Email for your claim and for a Return Authorisation (RA) number. When an RA has been issued, the product(s) to which it relates must be returned within seven (7) days of issue of the RA, by the shipping method nominated by Zoo Pets.

In the event that the goods being returned are due to being ordered in error, an administration charge will apply. Any goods returned without the appropriate authorisation will incur an administration charge.

Due to WorkCover requirements, our Territory Managers are not permitted to pick up returns.

  1. Disputed Charges

If the Customer objects to any invoiced item, the Customer may withhold payment of the disputed amount, but only if on or before payment or the due date for payment (whichever first occurs), the undisputed amount is paid in full and notice in writing of the dispute is given to Zoo Pets, setting out the details of the amount disputed, the reasons for the dispute, and the basis for calculating the disputed amount. Zoo Pets will investigate all disputes. If the amount is found to be payable (in whole or in part) then the Customer must pay the due amount within seven (7) days of receiving notice and the basis of the decision. Invoiced amounts that are not objected to in writing within thirty (30) days of the invoice date will be deemed to be correctly charged.

  1. Credit Policy and Default

If Zoo Pets is not paid for any Products within the credit terms specified herein, without prejudice to any other right or remedy, Zoo Pets may charge interest on all amounts not paid by the Customer within the agreed term for payment at a rate of 2% per calendar month, calculated from the due date and accruing monthly there from until the date of payment and Zoo Pets may recover the price of the Products together with all interest forthwith from the Customer as a liquidated debt irrespective of any claim that the Customer may have against Zoo Pets for anything or matter related to the Products delivered under these terms. The Customer shall indemnify Zoo Pets from and against all expenses costs and disbursements incurred by Zoo Pets in pursuing the debt including all reasonably charged legal costs on a “solicitor and own client” basis and the fees charged to Zoo Pets by any mercantile agency.

  1. Returned Cheques

An administration fee plus all associated bank charges may be applied to any cheque payment returned unpaid by the bank for whatever reason.

  1. No Set-off

The Customer shall not be entitled to set off against or deduct from the price of Products sold any sums owed or claimed to be owed to the Customer by Zoo Pets or any third party, unless prior written agreement has been made with Zoo Pets.

  1. Acts of Default

  1. defaults on any payment due under the agreement;
  2. being a natural person, commits an act of bankruptcy;
  3. being a corporation, is subject to:
  1. Reservation of Rights

Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, if any amount is not paid by the Customer within the time for payment as provided for herein, Zoo Pets reserves the following rights in relation to the Products until all amounts owed by the Customer to Zoo Pets in respect of the Products and all other Products and services supplied to the Customer by Zoo Pets at any time are fully paid:

  1. legal and equitable ownership of the Products;
  2. to retake possession of the Products; and
  3. to keep or resell any of the Products repossessed.

The Customer hereby grants full leave and irrevocable license without any liability to Zoo Pets and any person authorised by Zoo Pets to enter any premises where the Products may for the time being be placed or stored for the purpose of retaking possession of the Products.

  1. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

The Trade Practices Act and various State Acts imply certain warranties into transactions which in certain circumstances cannot be excluded. Notwithstanding this (but subject to such laws as necessarily apply) the Customer acknowledges that it has not relied on any advice given or made by or on behalf of Zoo Pets in connection with the Products. Zoo Pets excludes all implied conditions and warranties from this agreement, except any conditional warranty (such as conditions or warranties implied by the Trade Practices Act and State Acts) to the extent that they cannot be excluded (“Non Excludable Conditions”). Zoo Pets limits its liability:

  1. for breach of any Non Excludable Conditions to the extent that liability for such breach can by law be limited to the invoice cost of the Products supplied; and
  2. for any error or omission in delivery of the Products caused by Zoo Pets to (at Zoo Pets’ sole discretion) resupply of the Products affected by the breach, or the payment of the cost of resupply.

Subject to this Clause, Zoo Pets excludes all other liability to the Customer for any costs, expenses, losses and damages suffered or incurred by the Customer in connection with this agreement whether that liability lies in contract, tort (including Zoo Pets’ negligence) or under statute. Without limitation, Zoo Pets will in no circumstances be liable for any indirect or consequential losses, including loss of profits, loss of revenue and loss of business opportunity. The Customer indemnifies Zoo Pets and its officers, employees, contractors and agents against any costs, expenses, losses, damages and liability suffered or incurred arising from the Customer’s breach of this agreement and any negligent or unlawful act or omission of the Customer in connection with the Products.

  1. Force Majeure

While Zoo Pets endeavours to keep delivery dates, any delay of delivery, for any reason whatsoever, will not entitle the Customer to claim for any consequential loss or damage or to cancel, rescind or terminate the agreement. Should circumstances beyond the control of Zoo Pets prevent or hinder delivery, Zoo Pets will be free from any obligation to deliver goods while such circumstances continue. For as long as such circumstances exist, Zoo Pets may, at its option, cancel, rescind or terminate all or any part of the contract or keep the contract on foot until such circumstances have ceased. Such circumstances beyond the control of Zoo Pets include but are not limited to strikes, lockouts, rebellions, fire, acts of God, shortages of raw materials, Government decrees, proclamations or orders, transport difficulties and failures or malfunctions of computers or other information technology systems.

The Customer may not assign or subcontract any contract for the purchase of Products or its obligations under this agreement.

In the event that the Customer sells its business, the Customer shall be responsible to notify Zoo Pets in writing of such sale to enable the account to be closed. If the Customer fails to so notify then the Customer shall be jointly and severally liable to Zoo Pets for the payment of Products subsequently sold to a third party on the Customer’s account as if the Customer had ordered the Products itself.

  1. Waiver of terms of agreement

The failure by Zoo Pets to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, power or privilege available to it under this agreement will not operate as a waiver thereof or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right or power.
