The Customer must pay GST, without deduction or set off of any other amounts, at the same time and on the same basis as the Customer pays the Price. In addition the Customer 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.

Risk

Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods passes to the Customer on Delivery and the Customer must insure the Goods on or before Delivery.

If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed following delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Customer, ACSIS is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Goods. The production of these terms and conditions by ACSIS is sufficient evidence of ACSIS’s rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with ACSIS to make further enquiries.

Title to Goods (including any incidental items supplied as part of any Services)

ACSIS and the Customer agree that ownership of the Goods shall not pass until: the Customer has paid ACSIS all amounts owing to ACSIS; and the Customer has met all of its other obligations to ACSIS.
