Terms and Conditions
For Wholesale Supply of Goods
1. Overview
This Agreement:
• is between Toshi Australia Pty Ltd ABN 48 267 865 345 (we, our or us) and the customer (you or your);
• applies in relation to any goods we sell you even if it is not signed; and
• overrides any inconsistent terms or conditions in any purchase orders or other documents you use (unless we specifically sign a document agreeing otherwise).
2. Quotations or pro forma invoices
Prices and other details in any pro forma invoice that we provide are only valid for 30 days or such other limited time period as stated in the document.
3. Orders
You acknowledge that once you place an order with us, we may order or manufacture goods especially for you and we may not permit you to vary or cancel the order unless you compensate us for the losses we incur or we otherwise consent.
4. Approved sales channels only
To protect the reputation of our brand, you may only sell the goods through retail outlets and sales channels approved by us. You must not re-sell our goods on a wholesale basis or to any person other than the end-user of the goods. We may refuse to supply you with goods if you breach this condition.
5. GST
Unless otherwise stated, the prices we state for the goods are exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST). You must pay GST at the same time and in the same manner as the consideration for the goods. We will give you a tax invoice showing the applicable GST.
6. Delivery
We will use reasonable endeavours to deliver the goods to the delivery point and on the date requested in your order. However, we will not be liable for any losses you suffer as a result of a delay or failure to deliver the goods.
7. Risk in the goods
Risk in the goods will pass to you when you take possession of them.
8. Return of obviously defective goods
You must inspect the goods on delivery and notify us within 7 days period if there are any obvious defects. This includes if the goods are defective because:
• there is a shortfall in the quantity delivered; or
• they are not of acceptable quality (as defined in the Australian Consumer Law);
• they do not conform to an agreed specification.
If you fail to return any defects goods within 14 days of delivery, you will be deemed to have accepted the goods and must pay for them in full despite any defects (other than non-obvious or latent defects that you could not be reasonably expected to have identified within the time period).
We will cover the charges for returning the goods to us if we accept that they are defective.
9. Payment terms
You must pay us for the goods within 30 days of the date of invoice. However, if we consider (in our absolute discretion) that your creditworthiness is unsatisfactory or the amount would exceed our credit limit, we may require you to pay for the goods on or before delivery.
If you fail to pay us strictly within the payment terms then you must pay us:
• interest on the late payments at the rate of 20% per annum calculated daily on the amount outstanding; and
• an administrative fee of $15.00 for each late payment.
10. Title and our security interest
Although you will assume the risk in the goods when you take possession, until you pay for them:
• we will retain ownership and title;
• you hold them on our behalf as fiduciary bailee; and
• if we request, you must return them or permit us to retake possession of them and we will not be any liable for any loss you suffer as a result.
However, you may dispose of the goods in the ordinary course of business on the basis that you will be taken to hold the proceeds of sale or trade on trust for us until you pay for them.
11. Personal Property Securities Act
You acknowledge that under the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 Cth (PPSA):
• this Agreement constitutes a security agreement;
• you grant us a purchase money security interest in the goods and any proceeds; and
• we may register a financing statement on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR),
You agree to provide information and do anything we reasonably require for us to register, maintain and enforce our security interest.

13. Terms defined in the PPSA
Terms defined in the PPSA (including purchase money security interest, verification statement, proceeds and various other terms) have the same meaning when used in this Agreement.
14. Enforcement expenses
You must pay any reasonable expenses (including legal fees) we incur to enforce our rights under this Agreement.
15. Goods supplied on a wholesale basis
