Price and Payment
1. At Textiles Alive’s sole discretion the Price shall be either:
  1. as indicated on any invoice provided by Textiles Alive to the Client; or
  2. the Price as at the date of delivery of the Goods according to Textiles Alive’s current price list; or
  3. Textiles Alive’s quoted price (subject to clause 2) which will be valid for the period stated in the quotation or otherwise for a period of thirty (30) days.
2. Textiles Alive reserves the right to change the Price:
  1. if a variation to the Goods which are to be supplied is requested. Where the Client requests any additional work (including inserting, binding, printing, additional sections, pages or colour, graphic design work), the Client acknowledges that the supply of the Goods may be delayed (and as such clause 6 shall apply); or
  2. in the event of increases to Textiles Alive in the cost of labour or materials, or fluctuations in currency exchange rates, which are beyond Textiles Alive’s control.
3. The Client shall pay to Textiles Alive all additional costs incurred by Textiles Alive as a result of the Client’s non-compliance with Textiles Alive’s instructions, late delivery of Materials, omissions made by the Client, incorrect instructions provided by the Client, any re-plating or re-printing required, additional Goods requested by the Client, the transport, storage or handling of Materials, the delivery of hard-copy proofs, and other charges, fees or disbursements referred to in these terms and conditions not otherwise specified in this clause.
4. Variations will be charged for on the basis of Textiles Alive’s quotation, and will be detailed in writing, and shown as variations on Textiles Alive’s invoice. The Client shall be required to respond to any variation submitted by Textiles Alive within ten (10) working days.

6. Time for payment for the Goods being of the essence, the Price will be payable by the Client on the date/s determined by Textiles Alive, which may be:

  2. before delivery of the Goods;
  3. for certain approved Client’s, due twenty (20) days following the end of the month in which a statement is posted to the Client’s address or address for notices;

8. Textiles Alive may in its discretion allocate any payment received from the Client towards any invoice that Textiles Alive determines and may do so at the time of receipt or at any time afterwards. On any default by the Client Textiles Alive may re-allocate any payments previously received and allocated. In the absence of any payment allocation by Textiles Alive, payment will be deemed to be allocated in such manner as preserves the maximum value of Textiles Alive’s Purchase Money Security Interest (as defined in the PPSA) in the Goods.
9. The Client shall not be entitled to set off against, or deduct from the Price, any sums owed or claimed to be owed to the Client by Textiles Alive nor to withhold payment of any invoice because part of that invoice is in dispute.
10. Unless otherwise stated the Price does not include GST. In addition to the Price, the Client must pay to Textiles Alive an amount equal to any GST Textiles Alive must pay for any supply by Textiles Alive under this or any other contract for the sale of the Goods. The Client must pay GST, without deduction or set off of any other amounts, at the same time and on the same basis as the Client pays the Price. 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.

Order Completion and Delivery
1. The Client acknowledges that the completion of the order is subject to operational availability of Textiles Alive’s resources.

4. Whilst every endeavour will be made to deliver the correct quantity ordered, the Client acknowledges that the difficulty of producing exact quantities, estimates and/or orders are conditional upon a margin of ten percent (10%) being allowed for shortages or over-runs (owing to human and/or machine/computer error), which may be charged for, or deducted from, the Price on a pro rata basis to reflect the actual quantity of Goods produced.
5. Textiles Alive may deliver the Goods in separate instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid in accordance with the provisions in these terms and conditions.
6. Any time or date given by Textiles Alive to the Client is an estimate only.

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.

8. Any change or correction to any film, bromides, artwork and/or any printing surface supplied by the Client which is deemed necessary by Textiles Alive to ensure correctly finished work shall be invoiced as an extra.
9. The liability of Textiles Alive shall cover only direct loss or damage in respect of Services or other matters arising directly from within the scope of the Services agreed in Textiles Alive’s quotation. All references herein to loss or damage shall be deemed to exclude loss or damage sustained by any third party in respect of which the Client is liable and responsible (as between the Client and the third party) whether by statute, contract tort or otherwise.

1. The Client acknowledges that, if the Material types required for the Order are unavailable, Textiles Alive may (at their sole discretion) substitute the Materials with another similar Material product.
2. Textiles Alive will use its best efforts to supply the Goods to the Client at the highest quality capable of being produced by Textiles Alive’s available resources, subject to the Client adhering to Textiles Alive’s instructions and these terms and conditions.

Material or Equipment Supplied by Client
1. Where the Client supplies material or equipment (“Property”) to Textiles Alive for the supply of the Goods:

This usually occurs with printing on polycottons, synthetics and poly-microns, etc. Textiles Alive will not accept any claim for defects resulting from sublimation; and

  5. if the stock supplied by the Client show discrepancies with the final size breakdown/count/colour or product supplied, etc., Textiles Alive will place the Client’s order on hold until the discrepancies have been rectified.
2. Imprints or any legal obligations required to appear on any printed material are the responsibility of the Client. Textiles Alive reserves the right to place its imprint on all printed material unless specifically requested otherwise.
