If you do not agree with these Terms or any amendments to these Terms, you may choose to reject the Purchase Order in accordance with clause 6, or contact us to request variations.
2. (Amendment) We reserve the right to review and amend these Terms at any time by publishing such amended Terms on our website (www.australiandistillingco.com.au). We will notify you if amended Terms have been published on our website. Any amendments to these Terms will apply to Purchase Orders we submit 10 Business Days after the date we notify you. By continuing to accept Purchase Orders on and from that date you agree to the Terms, as amended.
3. (Other terms) The parties acknowledge that these terms operate to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions proposed or notified by the Contractor, irrespective of whether the Contractor’s terms and conditions were proposed or notified prior to or after the relevant Products and/or Services were supplied. Each Purchase Order submitted by us and Contract formed incorporates, and is subject to, these Terms notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of your documentation.
4. (Purchase Order) Australian Distilling Co will order the Products and/or Services by submitting a Purchase Order. Subject to clause 6, the Contractor is responsible for ensuring that it can satisfy the Purchase Order.
5. (Contract formation) A separate contract (Contract) between you and us, for the sale by you and the purchase by us of the relevant Products and/or Services is entered into when you accept or are deemed to have accepted a Purchase Order under these Terms. Each such Contract is comprised of these Terms and the relevant accepted Purchase Order. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms and the terms of an accepted Purchase Order, the Purchase Order will prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.
6. (Authority and acceptance) Australian Distilling Co will not be bound by any Purchase Order unless it is issued by or on behalf of Australian Distilling Co. When Australian Distilling Co issues a Purchase Order, the Contractor must accept or reject that Purchase Order by notice to us within such time period reasonably specified by Australian Distilling Co or, if no time period is specified, within 10 Business Days. The supply of Products and/or Services by the Contractor also constitutes deemed acceptance by the Contractor of the Purchase Order relating to those Products and/or Services and these Terms. We may withdraw a Purchase Order at any time before you notify us of its acceptance.
7. (Supply of Products and/or Services) The Contractor must ensure that:
7.1 all Products are: new; of merchantable quality; made of good materials; free from defects and contamination; not derived from any genetically modified organism; and compliant with all relevant codes and standards;
7.2 in the case of perishable Products:
7.2.1 all perishable Products must be marked with appropriate use-by dates and lot/batch codes; and
7.2.2 the Contractor must maintain records of the Products that enables both the Contractor and us to trace the source of each Product or the batch from which the Products were prepared;
7.3 all Products are fit for the purpose for:
7.3.1 which the products of the same kind are commonly supplied;
7.3.2 any purpose which Australian Distilling Co makes known to the Contractor; and

7.5.1 these Terms, the relevant Purchase Order and all reasonable requests of Australian Distilling Co;
7.5.2 all applicable laws, rules, regulations and industry and safety standards; and
7.5.3 all reasonable policies and procedures notified by Australian Distilling Co from time to time, including but not limited to safety, health and environment policies and any site-specific policies and procedures. Without limiting this clause 7.5.3, the Contractor must ensure that it fully complies with its legal obligations (including under work health and safety laws) in respect of the management of risks associated with COVID-19 in relation to the supply of the Goods and/or Services.
7.6 all necessary permits and approvals are obtained to undertake all duties and obligations under these Terms, prior to the commencement of works subject of the Purchase Order;

7.8.1 specified by Australian Distilling Co in the Purchase Order; or
7.8.2 in accordance with any reasonable instructions notified by Australian Distilling Co,
and the Contractor must ensure that the Products are protected against all damage and deterioration during transportation.
8. (Title and risk) Subject to clause 16 (Inspection and acceptance of Products), the Products remain at the Contractor’s risk until title passes to Australian Distilling Co. Title to and risk in the Products passes to Australian Distilling Co when Australian Distilling Co has taken delivery of the Products at the site or delivery point specified or notified by Australian Distilling Co in the Purchase Order or as otherwise agreed. The Contractor warrants to Australian Distilling Co and undertakes that immediately prior to delivery of the Products, the Products:
8.1 are owned by the Contractor; and
8.2 are free from any Encumbrance which may affect the Contractor obtaining clear and unimpeded title to the Products.
9. (Delivery) The Contractor must supply the Products and/or Services to the delivery address and on or before the delivery date specified in the Purchase Order. If Australian Distilling Co specifies, in respect of a Purchase Order for Products, that it will pick-up the Products from the Contractor, then the Contractor must make available the Products for collection at the time and place nominated by Australian Distilling Co in the Purchase Order or as otherwise agreed.
10. (Delays in delivery) If Australian Distilling Co does not receive the Products and/or Services in accordance with clause 9 (Delivery), including without limitation as a result of events of force majeure or otherwise, the Contractor must promptly notify Australian Distilling Co in writing of the anticipated extent and duration of its inability to supply. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, if you fail to deliver the Products and/or Services by the delivery date specified, we may immediately cancel the Purchase Order or any part thereof without prejudice to any other rights, remedies or powers available to us and we may return any part deliveries to you at your cost. You will be liable for and agree to keep us harmless from and indemnify us against any loss, damage, injury, penalties, costs and expenses arising directly or indirectly from any delay in supply, except to the extent that we caused or contributed to the delay.
11. (Failure to accept delivery) If Australian Distilling Co cannot take delivery of the Products and/or Services and provides the Contractor notice of this before the Contractor has arranged for the Products and/or Services to be delivered, then, on and from that time, the Contractor is responsible for the storage, package and handling of those Products until such time that Australian Distilling Co is able to take delivery of the Products and/or Services, Australian Distilling Co will reimburse the Contractor for reasonable additional costs it incurs in arranging delivery of the Products and/or Services, and in storing the Products. Provided that such costs have been approved in writing by Australian Distilling Co (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld).
12. (Contractor’s personnel) The Contractor must ensure that the Contractor’s personnel engaged in the supply of the Products and/or Services are competent and professional, with appropriate qualification and experience and perform their duties with care, skill and diligence. If Australian Distilling Co gives reasonable notice to the Contractor that a member of the Contractor’s personnel is unacceptable to Australian Distilling Co (acting reasonably), the Contractor must take immediate steps to remove the person and provide an alternative person who is acceptable to Australian Distilling Co (acting reasonably) and consistent with these Terms.
13. (Contractor’s equipment) The Contractor must ensure that all equipment used in providing the Products and/or Services is fit for the purpose for which it is intended and complies with all relevant laws and industry and safety standards.
14. (Reporting) The Contractor must keep accurate records relating to the provision of the Products and/or Services and it must make such records available for inspection or verification by Australian Distilling Co on the reasonable request of Australian Distilling Co.
15. (Access and testing) You will provide us access to your premises at all reasonable times with prior reasonable notice to allow us to undertake an inspection of the premises and take samples of the Products for independent testing. You will also promptly deliver to us any samples of Products we request. In the event that any testing we conduct discloses that the Products do not meet requirements of these Terms, we may at our election reject the Products.
16. (Inspection and acceptance of Products) Australian Distilling Co will not be deemed to have accepted the Products until it has had a reasonable time to inspect the Products. If, on inspection, Australian Distilling Co finds that any Products are defective in design, performance or workmanship or because they do not, in any material respect, meet Australian Distilling Co’s specifications, Australian Distilling Co may reject those Products by either:
16.1 returning them to the Contractor; or
16.2 notifying the Contractor that it must promptly collect the Products from Australian Distilling Co,
at the Contractor’s cost. At Australian Distilling Co’s option and request, the Contractor must refund to Australian Distilling Co any payments made by Australian Distilling Co in respect of any defective Products that Australian Distilling Co rejects, or replace free of charge any defective Products that Australian Distilling Co rejects. For the avoidance of doubt, no payment of any Price or any part thereof shall constitute a waiver of any rights or claims, which we may have arising out of or connected with any inspection.
17. (Invoicing and payment of Price):
17.1 Australian Distilling Co will pay the Contractor the Price for the supply of the Products and/or Services within thirty (30) days of the end of the month which Australian Distilling Co receives a valid tax invoice for the Products and/or Services, subject to the satisfactory performance of the Contractor’s obligations under:
17.1.1 the Purchase Order;
17.1.2 these Terms; and
17.1.3 acceptance of the Products and/or Services by Australian Distilling Co, including under clause 16 (Inspection and acceptance of Products).
17.2 Subject to clause 11, the Price is the only amount we will pay for the Products and/or Services and is inclusive of:
17.2.1 all costs, taxes, fees, levies, charges and duties (including GST) and expenses; and
17.2.2 delivery, packaging and transport,
unless otherwise stated in the Purchase Order.
17.3 The Price will not vary except with the prior written approval of Australian Distilling Co. For the avoidance of doubt, acceptance of Products and/or Services by Australian Distilling Co after the Contractor has notified Australian Distilling Co of a proposed price variation is not of itself acceptance or approval by Australian Distilling Co of that price variation.
17.4 Upon termination by Australian Distilling Co (in accordance with these Terms), the Contractor will be paid any amount owing by Australian Distilling Co outstanding at the date of termination and:
17.4.1 that payment will constitute a final payment by Australian Distilling Co to the Contractor in respect of the relevant Contract; and
17.4.2 the Contractor will not be able to recover any subsequent amounts from Australian Distilling Co in connection with the supply contemplated by the relevant Contract and these Terms.
18. (Set off) A party may deduct from any amounts due the other party any amounts due from that other party.
19. (Product recall procedures) The Contractor agrees to be responsible for and coordinate (at its cost) all recalls of or associated with the Products and shall maintain a product recall procedure in respect of the Products in accordance with law and relevant industry and safety standards.
20. (Sub-contracting) The Contractor must not sub-contract any part of the supply of Products and/or Services without Australian Distilling Co’s written consent (which will not be unreasonably withheld).
21. (Confidentiality) The Contractor must not, and must ensure that its employees, agents and sub-contractors do not, without the prior written approval of Australian Distilling Co, at any time use, disclose or give to any person any Confidential Information. This clause 21 (Confidentiality) does not apply to Confidential Information that the Contractor proves is in the public domain other than as a result of a breach of these Terms or is required to be disclosed by any applicable law or the listing rules of any applicable stock exchange.
22. (Intellectual property) The Contractor assigns to Australian Distilling Co all Intellectual Property Rights that may be created by the Contractor or for the Contractor by any subcontractor or employee in the course of, or in connection with, the provision of the Services, effective immediately on the creation of any such Intellectual Property Rights. The Contractor must do all things necessary to ensure that Australian Distilling Co obtains all Intellectual Property Rights from any personnel of the Contractor. The Contractor agrees that in the course of or in connection with providing the Services, it will not do any act or thing which may infringe any Intellectual Property Rights of Australian Distilling Co, its Associated Entities or any third party.
23. (Insurance) The Contractor must, before commencing supply of the Products and/or Services, effect and maintain all insurances which would ordinarily be maintained by a prudent supplier of the Products and/or Services.
24. (Indemnity) Without limiting Australian Distilling Co’s other rights and remedies, the Contractor will indemnify and keep indemnified Australian Distilling Co, its agents, sub-contractors and Associated Entities and any employees of any of them from and against any damage, expense (including lawyers’ fees and expenses on an indemnity basis) or Claim made or incurred as a result of or in connection with:
24.1 the Contractor’s negligent act or omission or an act or omission of its employees, agents or sub-contractors;
24.2 personal injury, death or property loss or damage suffered by any person arising out of or in connection with the Products and/or Services supplied by the Contractor;
24.3 any infringement or alleged infringement of Intellectual Property Rights arising out of Australian Distilling Co’s use of Products and/or Services;
24.4 any fraud, dishonesty, misrepresentation or wilful default by you in connection with or in relation to the supply of the Products and/or Services; or
24.5 the Contractor’s breach of any Contract and/or these Terms (without a prior written waiver from Australian Distilling Co),
except to the extent caused or contributed to by the negligence, breach of these Terms or unlawful act of Australian Distilling Co, Associated Entities and any employees of any of them.
25. (Termination for convenience) A party may terminate a Contract and/or these Terms at any time by written notice of ten (10) Business Days to the other party.
26. (Termination for cause) If:
26.1 a party is in breach of its obligations under a Contract and/or the Terms; and
27.1.1 by written notice to the first party, the other party requires remedy of the default within 10 Business Days or any longer period the other party allows (Remedy Period); and
27.1.2 the first party is still in breach at the end of that Remedy Period;
26.2 a Distress Event occurs in respect of the Contractor; or
26.3 a representation or warranty made or deemed to be made by the first party is untrue or misleading,
then the other party may immediately by notice terminate the Contract and/or these Terms by notice in writing to the first party.
27. (No waiver) Failure by Australian Distilling Co to insist upon the strict performance of these Terms and/or a Purchase Order will not be deemed to be a waiver of rights that Australian Distilling Co may have and will not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of these Terms or a relevant Purchase Order.
