The usual force majeure conditions will apply, and the validity of this contract will be unaffected.

Deliveries promised may be withheld if accounts are outside of agreed credit limits or invoices are overdue.  TFB Trading Australia retains title over goods or product manufactured from such goods until all accounts are settled in full. If we are required to engage debt collection services or take legal action for recovery of monies these costs will be accrued in addition to the original value of the invoice.

GST and levies are to be paid where applicable.

Any newly introduced Government charges incurred at the time of import not covered in the price at the time of sale may at our discretion be passed onto the buyer.
