2 THE AGREEMENT

2.1 The Agreement is formed when the Customer's purchase order is accepted by CVT, either by notice to the Customer or by commencement of preparation for supply of the Supplies (without the need to give notice to the Customer). Any additional terms in a Customer's purchase order do not form part of this Agreement unless expressly accepted by CVT in writing.

2.2 These Standard Terms of Supply may only be varied if approved in writing by CVT's Chief Executive Officer or his delegate in writing.

2.3 The Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties for the supply by CVT to the Customer of the Supplies and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and communications, whether oral or written, with respect to the Supplies. For the avoidance of doubt any quotation or other material provided by CVT does not form part of the Agreement.

2.4 In the event of any inconsistency between these Standard Terms of Supply and other terms in the Agreement, these Standard Terms of Supply prevail to the extent of such inconsistency.

2.5 The System Configuration may incorporate special terms and conditions applicable to the supply of all or part of the Supplies. In the event of any inconsistency between these Standard Terms of Supply and any terms and conditions specified in the System Configuration, then to the extent of such inconsistency the former prevails.

2.6 CVT and its suppliers reserve the right to carry out product improvement programmes, which could result in changes to the Supplies to be delivered under this Proposal, provided that these changes will not degrade the quality of the Supplies or their performance in comparison with the relevant manufacturer's written description and specifications current as at the date of the Proposal.

3 FEES AND PAYMENT

3.1 If the Proposal does not set out the Fees for all or part of the Supplies, then the Fees will be CVT's standard list price for those Supplies at the time of the Proposal. If CVT does not have a standard list price for those Supplies, then the fees will be as reasonably determined by CVT having regard to the fees charged by CVT for similar goods and services provided by CVT.

3.2 The Customer must immediately pay to CVT all Fees when due without deduction or deferment on account of any claim, counter-claim or setoff, on the following basis:

(a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing the standard terms of payment are 70% (non-refundable) on order and remainder invoiced on delivery

3.3 The Customer must pay the Fees and any other amounts payable under the Agreement within 14 days of the date of CVT's invoice. In the case of required deposits, ordering and supply will not begin until deposit has been received in full.

3.4 If CVT has accepted the Customer's purchase order and the Customer subsequently requests a variation to the Supplies, any variation must be subject to agreement in writing between the parties (including the Customer's acceptance of any variation in Fees). Unless otherwise agreed in writing the Customer must pay the Fees for any additional Supplies on delivery of the Supplies.

3.5 Unless expressly stated in the Proposal, the Fees exclude all duties, taxes, freight and required travel costs. The Customer must pay CVT all duties and taxes including any new or additional duties or taxes payable in relation to the Supplies or the Agreement, on demand by CVT.

3.6 Where all or part of the Supplies are obtained from an overseas supplier, the Fees will be calculated by CVT using the National Australia Bank telegraphic transfer rate applicable at time of the Proposal. CVT may adjust the Fees to take into account any variation in this rate between the date when the Proposal was prepared and the time when CVT was required to pay for the supplies or when the Customer pays the Fees, whichever occurs first.

3.8 If the Customer fails to make any payment when due (Unpaid Amount) then:

(a) the Customer must pay on demand, as agreed damages for late payment, interest of 0.3% per week on the Unpaid Amount;

(b) subject to clause 13, CVT can cease delivery of further items of Supplies and suspend the performance of Maintenance and/ or Services until the Unpaid Amount is received; and

(c) on reasonable notice to the Customer (unless CVT considers that its ability to repossess maybe jeopardised by any delay), CVT may repossess any Hardware or Software for which the Unpaid Amount is owing,

(d) In the event of CVT instructing itÂ¡Â¯s solicitors to collect an overdue amount, all legal fees and collection charges as between solicitor and CVT shall be borne and charged to the Customer and exercise of these rights will be without prejudice to any other rights CVT may have under the Agreement.

4 GST

4.1 GST Law means the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth) and any other law dealing with the imposition or administration of a goods and services tax in Australia. Terms used in this clause which are defined in the GST Law have the meanings given in that law. Each party warrants to the other that it is registered for GST. Each party must notify the other if it ceases to be registered for GST.

4.2 Amounts payable under the Agreement do not include GST unless otherwise stated. If any payment made or other consideration given by a party (Payer) in connection with this agreement does not include GST and is the consideration for a taxable supply for which the party who makes the supply (Supplier) is liable for GST, the Payer must, at the same time as the consideration is given, pay to the Supplier an additional amount equal to the amount of the consideration multiplied by the rate of GST under the GST Law.

4.3 Any reference in the Agreement to a cost or expense to be reimbursed by one party to another (Payee) includes any GST payable in connection with a taxable supply to which that cost or expense relates, less the amount of any input tax credit that the Payee or, if the Payee is a member of a GST group, the representative member of the GST group is entitled to claim.

5 DELIVERY AND PERFORMANCE

5.1 Delivery of Supplies will be made to the delivery address stated on the Proposal or Customer Purchase Order or as agreed in writing by the parties.

5.2 Dates for delivery of the Supplies or the performance of any services are only estimates and are not binding on CVT.

5.3 If CVT is unable to deliver all or any part of the Supplies or perform any Services within (in CVT's opinion) a reasonable time or at all, then CVT may terminate the Agreement, in whole or in part. In this event, the Customer will have no claim against CVT for any damage, loss or expense incurred in connection with the delay in delivery or performance or the termination.

5.4 If the Customer refuses to accept delivery of any Supplies or performance of any Services, then the Fees for those Supplies or Services, together with all reasonable costs as determined by CVT incurred by CVT arising from the Customer's refusal to accept delivery (including any transport, inventory and storage costs) will become payable by the Customer on demand.

6 INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING

6.1 If stated in the Proposal, CVT must install and commission the Hardware or Software at the Customer's premises nominated in the Proposal.

(c) authorises CVT and CVT's agents, at any time, to enter the premises in which the Hardware is stored and to repossess the Hardware regardless of the degree and manner of its attachment to realty.
