Terms & Conditions

What is this Agreement about and how is it accepted?

Any written quotation provided by Whirlwind to the Customer concerning the proposed supply of goods or services is: (a) valid for 14 days from the date of the quotation; and (b) not an offer to sell, and no order placed by the Customer in response to any quotation will bind Whirlwind unless and until such order is accepted by Whirlwind, acting in its absolute discretion.

3. This Agreement is accepted by the Customer once the Customer places an order with Whirlwind forgoods or services. No purported cancellation or suspension of an order (or any part of an order) by the Customer is binding on Presscentral after that order has been accepted by Picnic Print.

2. Pricing includes the cost of delivery of the goods to the Customer to any single metropolitan address in any capital city in Australia. Delivery is only included for catalogue items.

Non standard or bespoke quotes are inclusive of freight to the Customer’s address only, unless otherwise specified.

3. Quotations are based on the cost of production prevailing at the date of the quotation, and are subject to variation on or after acceptance of any order placed in reliance upon such quotation, to meet any rise or fall in such costs incurred, including a request from the Customer to vary the order. Picnic Print will notify the Customer of any such variation.

What are the payment terms for goods and services?

1. Whirlwind’s standard payment option is pre payment in full, prior to the commencement of any print work or services. Other payment terms may be offered at the discretion of Presscentral and are subject to a satisfactory credit check.

2. Payment by cheque is not deemed made until the proceeds of the cheque have cleared.

3. Picnic Print may amend any payment terms upon giving written notice to the Customer.

4. Picnic Print accepts payment by Visa, Mastercard or AMEX without penalty fees. Picnic Print however reserves the right to charge penalty fees if the agreed payment terms are not met.

What are the consequences of non-payment by the Customer?

1. If the Customer does not pay an invoice (in full) by the due date, then all moneys which would become payable by the Customer to Picnic Print at a later date on any account, will become immediately due and payable without the requirement of any notice to the Customer, and Presscentral may, without prejudice to any other remedy available to Picnic Print:
(a) charge the Customer interest on any sum due at the prevailing rate under the Penalty Interest Rates Act 1983 (Vic) plus 4 per cent for the period from the due date until the date of payment in full;
(b) charge the Customer for, and the Customer must indemnify Picnic Print from, all costs and expenses (including all legal costs and expenses) incurred by Picnic Print resulting from the non-payment or in taking action to enforce compliance with this Agreement or to recover any goods;
(c) cease or suspend for such period as Picnic Print think fit, supply of any further goods or services to the Customer;
(d) by notice in writing to the Customer, terminate this Agreement or any contract with the Customer, without affecting Picnic Print's accrued rights under any contract.

When does legal title to the goods pass to the Customer?

(a) title and property in all goods remain vested in Picnic Print and do not pass to the Customer;
(b) the Customer must hold the goods as fiduciary bailee and agent for Picnic Print;
(c) the Customer must keep the goods separate from the Customer’s other goods and maintain Picnic Prints labelling and packaging;
and
(d) Picnic Print may without notice, enter any premises where Picnic Print suspects the goods may be and remove them, notwithstanding that they may have been attached to other goods not being Picnic Print's property, and for this purpose the Customer irrevocably licences Picnic Print to enter such premises and also indemnifies Picnic Printl from and against all costs, claims, demands or actions by any party arising from such action.

2. Where payment is not made on or before the due date or if an Insolvency Event occurs: (a) Presscentral may terminate any contract relating to goods at any time and without prejudice to any other rights it may have against the Customer; and (b) the Customer shall, should Presscentral so require, deliver up to Presscentral any goods which have not been paid for in full failing which Presscentral is hereby irrevocably authorised to enter at any time by its servants or agents the place where the goods are situated and to repossess the goods, and to remove the goods from any vessel, vehicle, or other place whether or not they have at any such time become fixed to any vessel, vehicle, thing or place and for this purpose Presscentral is hereby appointed the Customer’s agent. The Customer agrees to indemnify Presscentral and keep Presscentral indemnified against all costs incurred by Presscentral in removing the goods and against all claims against Presscentral in removing the goods and arising from such removal.

3. If an Insolvency Event occurs and the goods which have not been paid for in part or in full are mixed with the goods that have been paid for, then the Customer bears the onus of proving that the Presscentral goods in its possession (whether mixed with other goods or not) have been paid in full by the Customer. If the Customer is unable to prove, to the satisfaction of Presscentral that the goods identified as Presscentral goods have been paid for in full, then those goods shall be deemed to relate to unpaid invoices outstanding from time to time and are deemed to be the property of Presscentral. Presscentral reserves the right to repossess those goods without having to prove that the goods relate to specific unpaid invoices outstanding at the time of repossession.

4. Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding sub-clauses the Customer may sell the goods to a third party (in its own name and not as agent for the seller) by way of bona fide sale at full market value and in the ordinary course of business and deliver them to that party provided however that if an Insolvency Event occurs and until the goods have been paid in full to Presscentral:
(a) where the Customer is paid by that third party the Customer holds the whole value of the proceeds of sale on trust for Presscentral and shall not mingle any of the proceeds of sale with the Customer’s own monies or in any bank account with other monies, but shall ensure that all such receipts of sale are separate and identifiable. Moreover, the Customer shall on receipt of the proceeds of sale remit to Presscentral all monies owing under this Agreement in accordance with Presscentrals terms of payment;
(b) where the Customer is not paid by that party the Customer agrees, at the option of Presscentral, to assign its claim against that party to Presscentral. For the purpose of giving effect to this sub-clause the Customer irrevocably appoints Presscentral as its attorney.

Security Interests

1 In consideration for Presscentral supplying goods to the Customer under this Agreement, the Customer:
(a) agrees to treat the security interest created under this Agreement as a continuing and subsisting security interest in the relevant goods with priority over any registered or unregistered general (or other) security and any unsecured creditor (even if the goods become fixtures before paid for in full);
(b) grants to Presscentral a purchase money security interest (“PMSI”) as defined in the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth) (“PPSA”) in goods supplied;

and

2. Presscentral reserves the right to register a financing statement under the PPSA in respect of the goods. The Customer waives its right to receive a copy of any financing statement, financing change statement or verification statement that is or may be registered, issued or received at any time.

3. The Customer irrevocably grants Presscentral the right to enter any premises or property (without notice) and without being in any way liable to Presscentral or any other person if the Customer has cause to exercise any of its rights under the PPSA (and the Customer will indemnify Presscentral against any such liability).

4. It is agreed that (to the extent permitted under the PPSA), the Customer hereby waives its rights under sections 95, 96, 117, 118, 120, 121(4), 123, 125, 126, 128, 129, 130, 132, 134, 135, 142 and 143 of the PPSA.

What happens if there are delays in delivery of goods and services?

1. Any period or date for delivery of goods or provision of services is intended as an estimate only and is not a contractual commitment. Presscentral will use its reasonable endeavours to meet any estimated dates for delivery of the goods or completion of the services but will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Customer or any third party for failure to meet any estimated date.

2. If, through circumstances beyond Presscentral’s control, Presscentral is unable to effect delivery or provision of goods or services, then Presscentral may cancel the Customer’s order (even if it has already been accepted) by notice in writing including electronic means to the Customer.

(a) Presscentral reserves the right to modify the design, drawings or specifications supplied to Presscentral by the Customer which do not materially affect the quality or usage of the goods by the Customer, without notice.

Any charges be associated for this artwork correction may be passed to the Customer, subject to prior notification.
(c) Presscentral holds certification to the ISO 12647-2:2004 specifications for offset lithography and will ensure that jobs printed by Presscentral have colour consistency and colour quality certified to these documented International standards. However, Presscentral cannot ensure an exact match in colour or texture between the Customer’s artwork (including electronic graphic files or previously printed materials or any other materials supplied by the Customer) and the final delivered goods. The Customer acknowledges and accepts that there are acceptable levels of colour variation from print run to print run, from stock to stock, from back to front and between different printing processes.
(d) The Customer acknowledges that trimming may vary by up to 1 millimetre from the proof, specification or print job to print job and that such variation will not constitute a fault in the print job.
(e) Whilst every endeavour will be made to deliver the correct quantity of print items ordered, due to the difficulties of producing exact quantities, Presscentral shall not be liable for delivering incorrect quantities and there will be no adjustment in the price if the quantity variation does not exceed 10% of the quantity specified in the order. The Customer’s remedy, at Presscentral’ sole discretion, will be either a refund of monies paid for the shortage on a pro rata basis or a re-print of the shortage quantity to be undertaken by Whirlwind within a reasonable period of time.

(a) Presscentral will not be liable for any defect in the goods manufactured or supplied by Presscentral which are based in whole or in part upon any designs, drawings or specifications supplied to Whirlwind by the Customer.

(c) If the Customer does not give the notice as required in clause 3(a), the Customer is deemed to have accepted the goods or services.
(d) Subject to clause 2(d), when any defects, shortages, claim for damage or noncompliance with the specifications in the Agreement is accepted, Whirlwind may, at its option, replace the defective or missing goods or re-supply the services.
(e) Presscentral will not accept goods for return that have been altered in any way or have been used.
(f) Unless Presscentral reasonably agrees that the defects, shortages, damage or non-compliance referred to in clause 3(a) is due to Presscentral’s fault, the Customer must pay all freight charges associated with the return of goods.
(g) Where delivery is requested by the Customer, to be left at an unattended address, Presscentral will not accept liability for any subsequent issues arising from that delivery. This clause does not affect any other rights pertaining to the goods noted within these terms and conditions.
