   4. The Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) and the Australian Consumer Law guarantee certain conditions, warranties and undertakings, and give the purchaser other legal rights, in relation to the quality and fitness for purpose of consumer goods sold in Australia.

Except as expressly set out in this Agreement and the Australian Consumer Law, THE TREE SHOP makes no warranties or other representations under this Agreement. THE TREE SHOP’s liability in respect of these warranties, representations, undertakings and guarantees is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

      2. the exercise of any right conferred by any such provision, or
   • any liability of THE TREE SHOP for bfreach of a condition or warranty implied by any such provision.

The rights of the purchaser buying goods as a consumer include those set out in clause 8(f) below.
   2. THE TREE SHOP’s goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. The purchaser is entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. The purchaser is also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. Where THE TREE SHOP is permitted under the ACL to limit its liability for breach of a condition or warranty that is implied by the ACL, THE TREE SHOP’s liability shall be limited at THE TREE SHOP’s sole discretion to:
      1. in the case of goods:
         1. the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods; or
         2. the repair of the goods; or

      2.

   • All liability of THE TREE SHOP shall cease at the end of the warranty period as stated in clause 9(a) and no claim shall be made against THE TREE SHOP after that date.

         2. there is no money owing by the purchaser to THE TREE SHOP for any other goods delivered by THE TREE SHOP or on any account whatsoever;
   • the purchaser has met all other obligations due by the purchaser to THE TREE SHOP and paid all monies due by the purchaser to THE TREE SHOP in respect of all contracts for goods and/or services between the purchaser and THE TREE SHOP.
   1. Payment is not deemed to have occurred until funds have cleared in THE TREE SHOP’s account. Until title and property in the goods passes:
      1. the purchaser must hold the goods as bailee for THE TREE SHOP, mark the goods or store them separately and keep all necessary records so that the goods can at all times be identified and distinguished as the property of THE TREE SHOP, and refrain from mixing or intermingling the goods with any goods owned by the purchaser or by any other person;
      2. the purchaser acknowledges that a fiduciary relationship exists between the purchaser and THE TREE SHOP whereby, subject to the provisions of this clause, the purchaser holds the goods and/or service and/or any other proceeds, rights and claims to the goods and/or services, or any new product created by the purchaser using the goods and/or services, in a fiduciary capacity for THE TREE SHOP.
   2. Where title and property in any particular goods has not passed, the purchaser may nevertheless dispose of those goods to a bona fide sub-purchaser (“sub-purchaser”) provided that:
      1. such disposals are in the ordinary course of the purchaser’s business; and
      2. no event as specified in clause 14(a) has occurred. The purchaser must not deal with those goods if both conditions are not met. It is agreed that by the disposal of such goods, the purchaser assigns to THE TREE SHOP (the assignment being absolute and not by way of security) all monetary proceeds received by or on behalf of the purchaser in respect of the goods.
   3. The purchaser must observe the following fiduciary obligations with respect to any disposal of goods to a sub-purchaser authorised by clause 11(c):
      1. the purchaser must maintain records of all disposals of the goods and must permit inspection of these records by THE TREE SHOP promptly upon request; and
      2. the purchaser must hold the assigned proceeds on trust for THE TREE SHOP and separate from its own monies, and must account to THE TREE SHOP for those proceeds. The total debts owing by the purchaser to THE TREE SHOP will be reduced by the proceeds of sales for which the purchaser has accounted to THE TREE SHOP in accordance with this clause 11(d). If these proceeds exceed the total debts owing by the purchaser to THE TREE SHOP at any time, the purchaser is entitled to receive an amount equivalent to the amount of this excess as commission.
   4. If the purchaser produces a product (“the Product”) that utilizes or incorporates any of the goods as a component of the Product, the terms of this clause 11(e) pertaining to title and proceeds apply in the following manner:
      1. in the case of goods that can be removed from the Product without destroying or seriously injuring the goods or other components of the Product, the terms of clause 11 apply to the relevant goods without modification except for the references in clause 11(c) and (d) to proceeds, which are to be read as if these references were to the portion of each Product’s proceeds attributable to the value of the incorporated good;
      2. in the case of goods that cannot be removed from the Product without destroying or seriously injuring the goods or other components of the Product, the terms of this clause 11 apply subject to the modification that THE TREE SHOP becomes a co-owner of the Product at the time the relevant goods are incorporated into the Product, and THE TREE SHOP’s co-ownership share being in the proportion that the value of the goods bears to the value of the other components of the Product. The terms of this clause 11 apply subject to the references to the goods in clause 11 being read as references to THE TREE SHOP’s co-ownership share of the Product.
   5. In the event that the purchaser fails to make payment to THE TREE SHOP in accordance with this Agreement, or if the purchaser is a company which has made an application for and been granted a line of credit with THE TREE SHOP and commits any breach of the terms of that credit application with THE TREE SHOP, then THE TREE SHOP may revoke the right of the purchaser to sell, dispose of, or in any way deal with or use the goods and/or services, and request the purchaser to deliver immediately any goods and/or services in its possession or under its control directly to THE TREE SHOP or take possession of the goods and/or services from the purchaser in whatever manner it might think fit including but not limited to holding a lien over any item whatsoever of the purchaser’s relating to the goods and/or services provided by THE TREE SHOP and in the possession from time to time of THE TREE SHOP at the time of the breach of any term of this Agreement by the purchaser or its termination (without prejudice to any of THE TREE SHOP other rights or remedies).
   6. The purchaser indemnifies THE TREE SHOP, its officers, employees, servants, agents contractors, successors, heirs and assigness against any claim, action, damage, loss, liability, cost, expense, outgoing or payment which THE TREE SHOP suffers, incurs or is liable for in respect of THE TREE SHOP’s exercise of its rights under this clause 11.
   7. In the event that legal proceedings are instituted for the recovery of monies held in trust in accordance with this clause, the purchaser irrevocably acknowledges the existence of monies held on trust as described in this Agreement.
