If the Customer is unable to prove, to the satisfaction of Printing Brisbane that the goods identified as Printing Brisbane 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 Printing Brisbane.

    1. Printing Brisbane may terminate any contract relating to goods at any time and without prejudice to any other rights it may have against the Customer; and
    2. the Customer shall, should Printing Brisbane so require, deliver up to Printing Brisbane any goods which have not been paid for in full failing which Printing Brisbane 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 Printing Brisbane is hereby appointed the Customer’s agent. The Customer agrees to indemnify Printing Brisbane and keep Printing Brisbane indemnified against all costs incurred by Printing Brisbane in removing the goods and against all claims against Printing Brisbane in removing the goods and arising from such removal.
  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 Printing Brisbane:
    1. where the Customer is paid by that third party the Customer holds the whole value of the proceeds of sale on trust for Printing Brisbane 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 Printing Brisbane all monies owing under this Agreement in accordance with Printing Brisbane’s terms of payment;
    2. where the Customer is not paid by that party the Customer agrees, at the option of Printing Brisbane, to assign its claim against that party to Printing Brisbane. For the purpose of giving effect to this sub-clause the Customer irrevocably appoints Printing Brisbane as its attorney.

Security Interests

  1. In consideration for Printing Brisbane supplying goods to the Customer under this Agreement, the Customer:
    1. agrees to treat the security interest created under this Agreement as a continuing and subsisting security interest in the relevant goods with priority over

  2. Printing Brisbane 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 Printing Brisbane the right to enter any premises or property (without notice) and without being in any way liable to Printing Brisbane or any other person if the Customer has cause to exercise any of its rights under the PPSA (and the Customer will indemnify Printing Brisbane 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 if the delivery is delayed?

  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.

Can the Customer return or exchange the goods or services?

  1. While every effort is made to ensure their accuracy, the descriptions, illustrations and material contained in any catalogue, price list, brochure, leaflet, specification sheets or other descriptive materials provided by Printing Brisbane to the Customer represent the general nature of the items described therein and do not form part of any order or agreement and do not constitute a representation or warranty made by Printing Brisbane.

    1. Printing Brisbane reserves the right to modify the design, drawings or specifications supplied to Printing Brisbane by the Customer which do not materially affect the quality or usage of the goods by the Customer, without notice.
    2. All prices quoted are for the supply to Printing Brisbane of specified print ready artwork. Should any artwork corrections be required Printing Brisbane reserve the right to make such alterations and request subsequent approval from the Customer to proceed to print. Any charges associated for this artwork correction may be passed to the Customer, subject to prior notification.
    3. Printing Brisbane will ensure that jobs printed by Printing Brisbane have colour consistency and colour quality certified to documented International standards. However, Printing Brisbane 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.
    4. 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.
    5. Whilst every endeavour will be made to deliver the correct quantity of print items ordered, due to the difficulties of producing exact quantities, Printing Brisbane 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 Printing Brisbane’s 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 Printing Brisbane within a reasonable period of time.

    3. 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.
    4. Subject to clause 2(d), when any defects, shortages, claim for damage or non- compliance with the specifications in the Agreement is accepted, Printing Brisbane may, at its option, replace the defective or missing goods or re-supply the services.
    5. Printing Brisbane will not accept goods for return that have been altered in any way or have been used.
      1. Unless Printing Brisbane reasonably agrees that the defects, shortages, damage or non-compliance referred to in clause 3(a) is due to Printing Brisbane’s fault, the Customer must pay all freight charges associated with the return of goods.
      2. Where delivery is requested by the Customer, to be left at an unattended address, Printing Brisbane 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.
