Terms & Conditions

Updated 2nd Sept 2021

  1. Interpretation: In these Terms of Trade (“Terms”): (I) “we”, “us”, and “our” means Palmer Design & Manufacturing Ltd; (ii) “you” and “your” means the person, company or other legal entity that orders or buys services or products from us; (iii) “services” means the services that we supply to you, including any products or deliverables provided in connection with those services; (iv) “including” and similar words do not imply any limitation; (v) notification in writing includes notification by email or notification on the palmerdesign.co.nz website.
  2. Application: These Terms apply to the supply of services to you by us and, unless otherwise agreed in writing by us, prevail over any terms in any purchase order or other document or form submitted by you. These Terms, any quotation issued to you by us, and any specific terms of a purchase order or other document that are either consistent with these Terms or expressly accepted by us in writing, constitute the entire contract between us (“Contract”), and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between us, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter in question. In the event of any conflict, a quotation from us takes precedence over these Terms, and a written contract signed by both of us takes precedence over either.
  3. Acceptance of Orders: Orders received by us are not valid until accepted by us in writing. Orders, once accepted by us, may only be cancelled with our prior written approval (which may be given or withheld in our sole discretion) and you will pay us any amounts invoiced by us for work done, and materials used, and all other costs relating to that cancellation. If orders are not accepted by us we reserve the right to provide no explanation.
  4. Delivery: Where a delivery date is agreed or specified for any services, that date is an estimate only. We will use reasonable endeavours to deliver the services by any agreed date, or where no delivery date is agreed, in accordance with our then standard lead times (if any). You acknowledge that the services are acquired by you for the purposes of a business and that the provisions of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 are excluded in relation to the services.
  5. Ownership: Title to any products or deliverables provided as part of the services will remain with us until all amounts owing to us for the services are paid in full.
  6. Price and Payments: Unless otherwise specified in writing (including in a written quotation we provide to you or in a written contract between the parties): (a) services will be invoiced at the price we quote you (including in any written quotation); (b) we reserve the right to require payment in advance; (c) where we agree to credit terms, then payment is due on the 20th of the month following the month that the services were supplied; (d) unless otherwise agreed payment will be made in New Zealand currency without deduction, withhold or set-off.
  7. Non-Payment: All payments must be made by you and will not be subject to, or conditional on, any payments from a third party or any other matter. If payment is not received by us for any reason, we may, at our option and without prejudice to our other lawful remedies: defer delivery; cancel or suspend any outstanding order, any credit terms or the Contract; and/or contact 3rd parties specializing in returning overdue amounts with any additional charges for such services being rendered to you.
  8. Taxes and Other Charges: Any sales tax, excise tax, duty, inspection or testing fee, or any other tax, fee or charge imposed by any governmental authority, on or measured by the arrangements or payments between us, will be paid by you in addition to the prices quoted or invoiced, If we are required to pay any such tax, fee or charge, you will reimburse us for the amount we have paid or provide us at the time the order is submitted an exemption certificate or other document acceptable to the authority imposing the tax, fee or charge.

IN NO EVENT WILL WE BE LIABLE (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS (WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT), EVEN IF WE HAD NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES.
  11. Indemnity: You will indemnify and hold us harmless against all losses, damages and expenses (including legal fees) that we may incur as a result of any claim (whether in contract, tort, including negligence, or otherwise) by you or your officers, agents, employees or customers, whether direct or indirect, in connection with the use of any services, or by reason of your breach of or failure to perform any of your obligations under the Contract, except to the extent caused by a breach by us of the express warranty in paragraph 9.
  12. Personal information requests: Information on our employees, Directors or contractors in regard to health or vaccine status will not be provided on request, we reserve the right to neither confirm or deny any such status requests.
