1958 and the Competition  and Consumer  Act (Cth) 2010, certain conditions  and warranties  may be implied into this contract and rights may be conferred  upon the Customer  which cannot be excluded,  restricted  or modified.  Nothing  in this contract whether  express  or implied,  will be taken to exclude,  restrict  or modify  any such non-excludable  conditions,  warranties  or rights

11.2  Subject to clause 11.1, the Customer acknowledges and expressly agrees with Shaw:

11.2.1   That the Customer is satisfied that the Goods are fit for purpose for which they were purchased; and

11.2.2   That any implied warranty or condition whether statutory or otherwise and whether as to quality, condition or fitness for any particular purpose is expressly excluded from these terms and conditions to the full extent permitted by law.

11.3  The Customer  agrees  and acknowledges  that Shaw to the full extent  permitted  by law accepts  no liability  or  responsibility arising from any direct or consequential  loss, damage or expense of any kind or nature and the Customer releases and forever discharges Shaw from all such responsibilities  and liabilities and any claims, demands or causes of action in respect thereof.

11.4  The Customer will, to the full extent permitted by law indemnify and keep indemnified  Shaw against all actions, proceedings, claims or demands for loss or damage of whatsoever  nature made or threatened against Shaw by any third party or by any of the  Customer’s  employees,  agents  or contractors  arising  directly  or indirectly  out  of or in  respect  of the  use,  custody  or purchase and supply of the Goods.

11.5  If Shaw accepts liability for a claim or is held liable by a court of competent jurisdiction  for a breach of condition or warranty implied  by statute  and not negatived  pursuant  to these terms and condition,  any liability  for such breach will be limited  at Shaw’s  option  to replacement  of the Goods  or the supply  of equivalent  Goods,  and/or  repair  or  restoration  of the Goods, and/or the payment of the value of the Goods or of replacing the Goods or of acquiring equivalent Goods, and/or the payment of the costs of having the Goods repaired or restored.

12.    Retention of Ownership

12.1  Until the Customer has paid the quoted or revised price and any moneys outstanding pursuant to this Agreement or any other contract between Shaw and the Customer in full, all Goods supplied pursuant to this Agreement or any other contract between Shaw and the Customer will remain the property of Shaw.

12.2  Notwithstanding  clause 12.1 the risk of loss or damage to the Goods will pass to the Customer from the time of delivery to the Customer or its agent or the nominated  address and the Customer or its agent will keep the Goods properly insured for their insurable value until all moneys whatsoever owing by the Customer to Shaw have been paid in full. All policies of insurance will be effected in the joint names of the Customer and Shaw for their respective rights in respect of loss or damage to the Goods and policies of insurance  will apply equally to Shaw and to the Customer  as if each were separately  insured  under any such policy of insurance.

12.3  Until all moneys owing to Shaw by the Customer have been paid in full or for all Goods supplied to the Customer under this Agreement or any other contract and until the Customer has satisfied any other debts owing to Shaw, the Customer will hold any Goods delivered to it as fiduciary agent and bailee for Shaw pending such payment and will ensure that all Goods supplied to the Customer by Shaw are stored separately  from all other goods which may be in the Customer’s  possession,  and that all Goods supplied to the Customer  by Shaw are stored and will comply with all reasonable  directions  given by Shaw and/or its representatives  to ensure compliance with the requirements of this clause.

12.4  The Customer agrees with Shaw that they shall treat the security interest in the Goods as a continuing  and subsisting security with priority  over a registered  general  security  and any unsecured  creditors  despite  the fact of the Goods  having  become fixtures at any time before payment has been made for them.

12.5  Until all monies due for all Goods supplied to the Customer by Shaw are paid, Shaw authorises the Customer to sell Goods to a third party as a fiduciary agent of Shaw. The Customer will, however, not represent to a third party that is in any way acting for Shaw and Shaw will not be bound by any contract with third parties made by the Customer.

12.6  If the Customer sells the Goods to a third party and receives payment before the Payment Date, the Customer will account to Shaw for the quoted or revised price of the Goods immediately  after the Goods are on-sold and the proceeds of sale received, even though the quoted or revised price may not be due and payable. To facilitate such payment, the proceeds will be paid into a separate  and identifiable  bank account  and the Customer  will account  to Shaw from this account  for moneys  due for the supply of the Goods.

12.7  If the Customer sells any of the Goods before title in and to the Goods has passed in accordance with clause 12.1, the Customer will hold such part of the book debts (being  monies  due to the Customer  by third parties  on account  of  such sales)(‘Book Debts’) as relates to the Price of the Goods sold on trust for Shaw and will account for such part of the Book Debts separately in its accounts in a manner which clearly identifies such part of the Book Debts as trust assets held on trust for and on behalf of Shaw.

12.8  The Customer agrees that it will not enter into a forward sale contract with any third party in respect of the Goods.

12.9  The Customer agrees that it will not assign or factor the Book Debts.

12.10                    If the Customer fails to pay for the Goods by the Payment Date or if the Customer commits an act of bankruptcy or has  a receiver  or a receiver  and  manager  appointed  over  any  of its assets  or goes  into  liquidation  (including  provisional liquidation) or any similar event occurs, then, without prejudice to any other rights of Shaw, Shaw will be entitled to enter upon any premises where the Goods for which full payment has not been made are stored and to retake possession of such Goods. Shaw will then be entitled to resell such Goods to a third party, and the Customer will indemnify Shaw from and against, and will pay on demand to Shaw all loss, damage, costs or expenses incurred by Shaw in respect of such possession and resale of the Goods or any of them.

12.11 To the extent that the terms of this clause create a charge registrable by Shaw over the Goods, the Customer appoints Shaw as its agent to register  that charge on behalf of Shaw at any time and to do all acts necessary  to procure  an  extension  of the relevant  period for such registration  pursuant  to Section  263(1) of the Corporations  Act 2001  (‘relevant  period’),  including, without limitation, making an application to the court pursuant to Section 266(4) of the Corporations Act 2001 for an extension of the relevant period.

13.5  The Customer shall promptly, on request by Shaw execute all documents  and do anything else reasonably required by Shaw to ensure that the PMSI created by these terms and conditions constitutes a perfected security interest over all Goods supplied.

13.6   The Customer shall not agree to allow any person to register a financing statement  over any of the Goods supplied by Shaw without  the prior written consent  of Shaw and will immediately  notify Shaw if the Customer  becomes aware of any person taking steps to register a financing statement in relation to such Goods.

13.8  If Shaw perfects any security interest that Shaw has in relation to the Goods, the Customer shall not do anything that results in

Shaw having less than the security or priority granted by the PPSA that Shaw assumed at the time of that perfection.

13.9  The Customer  irrevocably  grants to Shaw the right to enter upon the customer’s  property  or premises,  without notice, and without being in any way liable to the customer or to any third party, if Shaw has cause to exercise any of Shaw’s rights under section 128 of the PPSA, and the Customer shall indemnify Shaw from any claims made by any third party as a result of such exercise.
