1. An order for Goods placed by the Customer shall be irrevocable and binding on the Customer and shall be deemed to be acceptance by the Customer of the provisions of these Terms of Trade. SPQ may in its sole discretion accept or decline an order from the Customer either in whole or in part.
2. Where an order for goods states that the goods are to be used for a specific purpose, the goods are to be used for a specific purpose, the goods may only be used for that specific purpose.

3. Time for payment of the Goods shall be of the essence and is due no later than the 20th of the month following the date of the invoice (the “due date”). If payment in full as per the invoice is not made on the due date SPQ may “without prejudice” to any other rights or remedies available to it charge the Customer default interest at the rate of 5% above SPQ's bank overdraft rate calculated on a daily basis until payment in full has been made by the Customer. The Customer agrees to pay on demand all costs (including commission and legal fees as between solicitor and own client and any other costs) incurred by SPQ or SPQ's agents relating to the recovery of any amounts payable by the Customer to SPQ. All payments by the Customer shall be made without deduction or setoff of any kind. Nothing in these Terms of Trade are intended to amount to a credit contract, nor does SPQ agree to provide credit beyond the due date for payment. If for any reason the Customer fails or refuses to pay and SPQ allows the Customer to continue to trade or delays (whether at the Customer's request or not) in acting upon its rights in respect of the Customer's breach SPQ shall not be taken to have granted credit nor to have waived any of its rights.
4. SPQ shall not be bound by clerical errors or omissions whether in computation or otherwise in any acknowledgement or invoice and the same shall be subject to correction.

To accept a quote, the customer must state the quotation number.

Risk in the Goods shall pass to the Customer once delivered to the address of the Customer. Title in the Goods shall not pass to the Customer until such time as all Goods supplied to the Customer by SPQ have been paid for in full. Until such payment has been made the Customer shall not sell or dispose of the Goods except in the ordinary course of the Customer's business and the Customer shall hold the proceeds of sale or disposal in a separate trust account to SPQ. SPQ may at any time require the Goods to be returned to it and SPQ shall be entitled to enter any place where the Goods are situated at any time in order to take possession of them. The Customer shall fully indemnify SPQ in respect of any claim or demand which may be brought in respect of such entry and taking of possession.

The Customer acknowledges that clause 5 is a security agreement that creates a security interest in the Goods. The Customer agrees that such security interest is taken in all present and after acquired Goods supplied by SPQ to the Customer from time to time and in the Goods, as security for all amounts payable by the Customer to SPQ (including, without limitation, amounts owed in respect of Goods supplied and credit facilities provided by to the Customer from time to time). The Customer upon request shall promptly give SPQ all assistance and information (which the Customer warrants shall be complete, accurate and up to date in all respects) as may be necessary to enable SPQ to register a Financing Statement and to meet all other requirements under the PPSA in respect of the Goods including without limitation executing any variations to these terms of trade as may be reasonably requested by SPQ so ensure that the Security Interest constitutes a Perfected Security Interest. The Customer agrees to SPQ registering a Financing Statement to protect its Security Interest under these terms of trade and waives its right to receive a verification of such Financing Statement.

All statements, technical information and recommendations about the Goods are believed to be reliable but do not constitute a guarantee or warranty by SPQ.
