In addition, the Client must pay any other taxes and duties that may be applicable in addition to the Price except where they are expressly included in the Price.
  1. Delivery of Goods
    1. Delivery (“Delivery”) of the Goods is taken to occur at the time that SC (or SC’s nominated carrier) delivers the Goods to the Client’s nominated address even if the Client is not present at the address, or at the time the Client collects the Goods from SC’s nominated address.
    2. At SC’s sole discretion, the cost of Delivery is either included in the Price or is in addition to the Price.

In the event that SC is unable to supply the Goods as agreed solely due to any action or inaction of the Client, then SC shall be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for redelivery and/or storage.
  1. Risk
    1. Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods passes to the Client on Delivery and the Client must insure the Goods on or before Delivery.
    2. If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed following Delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Client, SC is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Goods. The production of these terms and conditions by SC is sufficient evidence of SC’s rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with SC to make further enquiries.
    3. SC shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy of any plans, specifications and other information provided by the Client. The Client must ensure that all measurements, dimensions and other specifications are true, correct and accurate. The Client acknowledges and agrees that in the event that any of this information provided by the Client is inaccurate, SC accepts no responsibility for any loss, damages, or costs however resulting from these inaccurate plans, specifications or other information.
    4. Granite, marble engineered stone, and glass have natural elements in the products that have naturally occurring variations in colour and shade tones, markings, and veining may vary from colour samples provided. SC gives no guarantee (expressed or implied) that colour samples will match the Goods supplied. SC will make every effort to match colour samples to the Goods supplied but will not be liable in any way whatsoever for colour samples differing from the Goods supplied.
    5. Marble, granite and stainless steel are porous materials, therefore, all such materials supplied by SC are sealed for protection. However, oil and other acidic substances are prone to causing discolouration and staining if left on surfaces for some time. The Client agrees to indemnify SC against any damage occurring after delivery and installation.
    6. The Client acknowledges that Goods (including but not limited to paint, timber, tiles) supplied may exhibit variations in shade tone, colour, texture, markings, veining, surface and finish, and may fade or change colour over time. SC will make every effort to match batches/samples of the Goods supplied in order to minimise such variations, but shall not be liable in any way whatsoever where such variations occur.
    7. Timber is a natural product. Timber, laminate and engineered timber may exhibit variations in texture, shade, colour, surface, finish, markings, veining, and contain natural fissures, occlusions, and indentations. Whilst Character Cabinets will make every effort to match sales samples to the finished Goods Character Cabinets accepts no liability whatsoever where such samples differ to the finished Goods supplied.
    8. Timber is a hydroscopic material subject to expansion and contraction, therefore SC will accept no responsibility for gaps that may appear in the timber during prolonged dry periods.
    9. The Client acknowledges that Goods supplied may:
      1. expand, contract or distort as a result of exposure to heat, cold, weather; and
      2. mark, stain or rust if exposed to certain substances; and
      3. be damaged or disfigured by impact or scratching.
  1. Compliance with Laws
    1. The Client and SC shall comply with the provisions of all statutes, regulations and bylaws of government, local and other public authorities that may be applicable to the Services.

      1. the Client has paid SC all amounts owing to SC; and
      2. the Client has met all of its other obligations to SC.
    2. Receipt by SC of any form of payment other than cash shall not be deemed to be payment until that form of payment has been honoured, cleared or recognised.
    3. It is further agreed that, until ownership of the Goods passes to the Client in accordance with clause 9.1:
      1. the Client is only a bailee of the Goods and must return the Goods to SC on request;
      2. the Client holds the benefit of the Client’s insurance of the Goods on trust for SC and must pay to SC the proceeds of any insurance in the event of the Goods being lost, damaged or destroyed;
      3. the Client must not sell, dispose, or otherwise part with possession of the Goods other than in the ordinary course of business and for market value. If the Client sells, disposes or parts with possession of the Goods then the Client must hold the proceeds of any such act on trust for SC and must pay or deliver the proceeds to SC on demand;
      4. the Client should not convert or process the Goods or intermix them with other goods but if the Client does so then the Client holds the resulting product on trust for the benefit of SC and must sell, dispose of or return the resulting product to SC as it so directs;
      5. the Client irrevocably authorises SC to enter any premises where SC believes the Goods are kept and recover possession of the Goods;
      6. SC may recover possession of any Goods in transit whether or not Delivery has occurred;
