  • keep the Goods in its possession and control, hold the Goods as agent for Kobelco, and not part with the possession of the Goods or, if the possession has been parted with, recover possession of the Goods;
  • keep the Goods in good repair and condition, excluding fair wear and tear;

  • not sell, assign or lease the Goods or any interest in them, or permit any charge, pledge, lien or other encumbrance to be created in relation to them.
  • Personal Properties Securities Act 1999 (“PPSA”)

    • where Kobelco has rights in addition to those in Part 9 of the PPSA, those rights will continue to apply.
  • Purchaser’s disposal of goods

If the Purchaser disposes of any of the Goods while they remain Kobelco’s property, or if any of those Goods become part of another product sold by the Purchaser, the Purchaser holds those proceeds on trust for Kobelco up to the amount it owes Kobelco in respect of the Goods, and must immediately pay that amount to Kobelco.

  • Purchaser indemnity for breach
  • The Purchaser indemnifies Kobelco for any loss, damage, costs or fees (including legal fees on a solicitor-client basis) resulting from a breach of clause 5.
  • Kobelco’s right to repossess and suspend Delivery

Kobelco is entitled, at its absolute discretion, to keep the repossessed Goods, sell the repossessed Goods or hold the repossessed Goods in safe custody pending payment of all monies due under the Contract. Kobelco is also entitled to suspend any other Delivery to the Purchaser without liability until any breach of the Contract is rectified by the Purchaser. In the event that Kobelco repossesses the Goods, the Purchaser remains bound by its obligations to Kobelco in accordance with the Contract, including its obligation to pay the Price.

  • Kobelco is not liable for any loss, damage or liability suffered as a result of exercising its rights under clause 5.10.
  • Finance

The Purchaser may finance the purchase of the Goods through a separate agreement entered into between it and a finance company selected by the Purchaser. In the event that the Purchaser elects to finance the purchase of the Goods in this manner, the Purchaser may agree with Kobelco to transfer title to the Goods directly to the finance company, and in that event title will transfer directly to the finance company upon full payment of the Price. These terms and conditions will apply as between Kobelco and the Purchaser that finances the purchase of the Goods even if the invoice records the finance company as the purchaser of the Goods.

 

6. RISK, INSURANCE AND DAMAGE

    • Risk in the Goods passes to the Purchaser upon Delivery.
    • The Purchaser must insure and keep the Goods insured and must note the interest of Kobelco in the Goods on usual commercial terms with a reputable insurer, against all risks usually insured against for Goods of that kind for full replacement value from the time the risk in the Goods passes to the Purchaser until the time the title in the Goods passes to the Purchaser.
    • The Purchaser holds the proceeds of any insurance claim relating to the Goods on trust for Kobelco up to the amount it owes Kobelco in respect of those Goods, and must immediately pay that amount to Kobelco.
    • Kobelco is not liable for defects or damage discovered after Delivery unless:
      • the Purchaser gives written notice to Kobelco and, if applicable, Kobelco’s carrier within 4 days after the date of Delivery;

      • the defects or damage are reasonably shown to have been pre-existing as at the date of Delivery.

 

7. WARRANTIES AND EXCLUSIONS

    • If Goods are under any manufacturer’s warranty applicable to the Goods, the Purchaser must comply with all applicable warranty terms. Failure to do so may void the warranty in full or in part.

    • If the Purchaser does not deliver (or if agreed, make available for collection) the trade-in to Kobelco within the time nominated by Kobelco or fails to deliver (or make available) the correct trade-in (including all attachments and accessories) in the state and condition required under clause 9.1.2 or fails to disclose any material condition, deficiency or defect in the trade-in, then the credit or price for the trade-in is a debt owing by the Purchaser to Kobelco. If a used attachment or other part of the Equipment is not available, then a new replacement will be purchased by Kobelco and this cost will be a debt owed by the Purchaser to Kobelco.
    • If upon inspection of the trade-in by Kobelco, the trade-in is in such a state that it cannot be reconditioned for resale or is otherwise not of merchantable quality then any value attributed to the sale of the Goods will be reduced accordingly and the difference will be a debt owing by the Purchaser to Kobelco.
    • Risk in the trade-in remains with the Purchaser until inspection and acceptance of delivery of the trade-in at Kobelco’s nominated point of delivery, such delivery to be at the Purchaser’s risk and expense.
    • The Purchaser warrants that it has or will have unencumbered title to any trade-in at the time of completion of the sale and the trade-in will be free of any and all security interests, charges, pledges, liens or other encumbrance at completion.
    • The Purchaser authorises Kobelco to pay any monies given to it for the purposes of removing any encumbrance on the trade-in.
    • Kobelco may, without obligation to the Purchaser, refuse to purchase any trade-in at any time until acceptance and inspection of the trade-in or if clause 9.1.2 is breached, and may recover the credit or value given in the trade-in and any loss arising thereof as a debt due from the Purchaser to Kobelco.

 

10. FORCE MAJEURE

    • If Kobelco’s ability to perform its obligations is adversely affected by any cause beyond Kobelco’s reasonable control, then Kobelco may, if it chooses, end the Contract or suspend it for up to 3 months by giving the Purchaser written notice. Kobelco will not be liable for any loss, damage or liability which the Purchaser incurs as a result, whether directly or indirectly.

 

11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

    • If a dispute arises, either party may notify the other in writing identifying the details of the dispute.
    • Within 14 days of notification of a dispute, an executive officer of each party empowered to resolve the dispute must confer at least once to attempt to resolve the dispute. The parties must act in good faith to resolve the dispute.
    • If the dispute is not resolved within 7 days of the meeting of the executive officers, either party may commence mediation by referring the dispute to LEADR New Zealand Incorporated. The standard mediation agreement of that body will apply and both parties must comply with those rules.

 

12. MISCELLANEOUS

    • Assignment

The Purchaser must not assign, sub-contract or otherwise deal with the Contract or any right or obligation under it except with the prior written consent of Kobelco (which Kobelco is entitled to withhold in its absolute discretion). Failure to obtain the consent of Kobelco constitutes a material breach of these terms and conditions, entitling Kobelco to end the Contract.

  • Kobelco is entitled, without obtaining the consent of the Purchaser, to assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of its rights or obligations under the Contract to a related company of Kobelco or to any other entity which is financially sound and capable of performing all of the obligations of Kobelco under the Contract by giving notice of such assignment, transfer or disposal to the Purchaser.
  • Cancellation

An order may not be cancelled. Kobelco is entitled to insist on completion of the Contract or at its sole discretion elect to charge the Purchaser Kobelco’s direct and indirect costs and expenses in connection with the cancellation (including without limitation, works required on the Goods and the transport and holding of Goods or standby of personnel until such time as the Goods are re-sold, any demobilisation costs, third party costs for attachments) plus indirect costs, loss of profit and any administration or other costs, expenses or fees incurred by Kobelco whatsoever, as reasonably determined by Kobelco (“Cancellation Costs”) and as a condition of consent to any order cancellation. Kobelco may, at its sole discretion, apply any Cancellation Costs against any credit account for parts and services sales provided by Kobelco to the Purchaser or its related company.

  • Description of Goods or Services

The description of the Goods and/or Services is given for identification only and does not create a contract of sale by description.

  • All photographs, brochures, weights, illustrations, dimensions or other particulars as to the Goods and/or Services are indicative only. Kobelco has no liability to the Purchaser for any deviations or inaccuracy in such documentation.
  • Any representation, promise, statement, description or other information of whatever nature not included in the Contract documentation or made in writing by an authorised company representative of Kobelco is expressly excluded. The Purchaser relies solely upon its own inspection, skill and judgment. No Equipment will be recommended by Kobelco for use in any specific application without supply by Kobelco of a formal applications study.
  • Electronic Data Retrieval

The Purchaser grants to Kobelco and its personnel, a non-exclusive and irrevocable licence to enter premises and to access the Equipment (including remotely by electronic means), at no cost to Kobelco, to enable Kobelco to perform data retrieval functions for the purpose of monitoring component life, service intervals or machine availability of the Equipment.

  • Physical access to the Equipment will be scheduled wherever possible to minimise disruption to the Purchaser’s operations.
  • Severability

If a clause or part of a clause can be read in a way that makes it illegal, unenforceable or invalid, but can also be read in a way that makes it legal, enforceable and valid, it must be read in the latter way. If any clause or part of a clause is illegal, unenforceable or invalid, that clause or part is to be treated as removed from this document, but the rest of this document is not affected.

  • Waiver

The fact that either party fails to do, or delays in doing, something it is entitled to do under the Contract, does not amount to a waiver of its right to do it. Any waiver must be in writing. A written waiver by Kobelco is only effective in relation to the particular obligation or breach in respect of which it is given. It is not to be taken as an implied waiver of any other obligation or breach; or as an implied waiver of that obligation or breach in relation to any other occasion.

  • GST

If GST is imposed on any supply made in accordance with these conditions, the recipient must pay an additional amount equal to the GST payable in connection with that supply promptly following receipt of a tax invoice. Expressions used in this condition which are defined in the Goods and Services Tax Act 1985 have the same meaning when used herein.

  • Governing law

The Contract is governed by the laws of New Zealand, excluding sections 202 – 206 of the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017 (United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods). The parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts in respect of all matters relating to the Contract.
