Terms and Conditions of Supply
1. Application of these Terms
1.1 These Terms apply to the supply of all goods to the Customer (except to the extent they are inconsistent with the terms of any written supply agreement for the provision of specific goods to the Customer which is signed by Bay Landscapes). In the event of such inconsistency, the terms of the specific supply agreement will prevail.
1.2 Other than any written supply agreement (as specified in clause 1.1), these Terms supersede and replace any previous or existing negotiations, letters, offers, representations (either verbal or in writing) between Bay Landscapes and the Customer in relation to the supply of goods.
1.3 No variation, modification or substitution of these Terms (even if included in, or referred to in, the document placing the order) shall be binding on Bay Landscapes, unless specifically accepted by Bay Landscapes in writing.
1.4 Bay Landscapes may unilaterally change any of these Terms and will post amended Terms on its website, from time to time.
2. Price
2.1 The prices payable for the goods are as notified by Bay Landscapes to the Customer from time to time.

2.3 Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Bay Landscapes, Bay Landscapes reserves the right to vary the price stated for any goods to reflect any increase in the cost of supply to Bay Landscapes, including any increase in wages, salaries, cost of materials, services or exchange rate fluctuations between the date of the order and the date of delivery. Prices may be altered at any time by Bay Landscapes without notice.
2.4 If there is an error in pricing online, in a product description, name or product image, Bay Landscapes reserves the right to contact the Customer and make the appropriate changes to the order. Bay Landscapes is under no obligation to provide the products to the Customer at a lower price where there is an obvious pricing error. If an alternative option is not agreed upon with the Customer, the order will be cancelled and the amount paid refunded.
3. Delivery
3.1 Delivery of goods shall be deemed to occur when the goods are delivered to the Customer, the Customers premises or a location specified by the Customer, or when the Customer or its employees or agents take possession of the goods.
3.2 Bay Landscapes will make reasonable efforts to ensure delivery of goods is in accordance with any delivery timeframes agreed in writing but will not be liable for any loss or damage including consequential loss arising from any delay in delivery.
3.3 Delay due to circumstances not reasonably within the control of Bay Landscapes shall not entitle the Customer to cancel any order or refuse to accept delivery.
3.4 No claim for loss, damage or destruction of the goods in transit, or short delivery, will be considered by Bay Landscapes unless the Customer notifies Bay Landscapes in writing immediately upon delivery. The Customer must also provide a detailed claim in writing within fourteen business days of delivery.

4.2 Payment must be made in cash prior to delivery, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Bay Landscapes.

4.4 The acceptance by Bay Landscapes of any type of bank transfer shall not constitute payment until the payment has been fully cleared through the banking system into Bay Landscapes’ bank account.
4.5 If a dispute arises in relation to an invoice, and such dispute is not resolved prior to the due date for payment, the Customer shall make payment in full (as per the invoice) but any amount subsequently agreed or determined to have been overpaid will be refunded without delay by Bay Landscapes.
4.6 Bay Landscapes may terminate the Customer’s ability to purchase goods on credit terms, or suspend or terminate any account held by the Customer, without notice for any reason.
4.7 Interest may be charged by Bay Landscapes on any amounts owing after the due date at the rate of 8% per month or part month.

5. Personal Property Securities Act 1999

5.2 The Customer agrees to do such acts and provide such information as in the opinion of Bay Landscapes (acting in its absolute discretion) may be necessary or desirable to enable Bay Landscapes to perfect under the PPSA the security interest (as defined in the PPSA) created in respect of the goods as a first-priority interest (including, if applicable, a purchase money security interest) or with such other priority as Bay Landscapes may agree to in writing.
5.3 The Customer must pay the costs, charges and expenses of and incidental to the need for, or desirability of registration of, a financing statement or financing change statement or any action taken by Bay Landscapes to comply with the PPSA (including complying with a demand given under section 162 of the PPSA) or to protect its position under the PPSA. The Customer must pay any costs incurred by Bay Landscapes, including legal costs on a solicitor-own client basis, arising from any disputes or negotiations with third parties claiming an interest in any goods supplied to the Customer.
5.4 While the goods continue to secure the Customers indebtedness and obligations to Bay Landscapes, the Customer must store the goods separately and clearly identify the goods as being subject to Bay Landscapes ’s security interest.
5.5 The Customer must not create or allow or permit the creation of a security interest (as defined in the PPSA) in any of the goods in favour of any person other than Bay Landscapes without first obtaining Bay Landscapes’ written consent nor may the Customer allow or permit the creation of a lien over any of the goods.
5.6 The Customer agrees that nothing in sections 114(1)(a), 133 and 134 of the PPSA shall apply to this contract. The Customer waives its rights pursuant to sections 116, 120(2), 121, 125, 129 and 131 of the PPSA and its rights to receive any verification statement relating to the security interests in the goods.
5.7 Where Bay Landscapes has rights in addition to those in Part 9 of the PPSA, those rights will continue to apply and will not be limited by section 109 of the PPSA.
5.8 The Customer will not change its name without first notifying Bay Landscapes in writing of the proposed name change and the new name at least 7 days before the change takes effect.
6. Products
6.1 Colour and Style: Product pictures displayed on product pages/listings are for illustrative purposes only. While we take considerable efforts to ensure the images reflect the products as accurately as digital media allows, your monitors, screens and mobile devices can give different colour representations. As such, we do not guarantee an exact match of on-screen appearance to the actual product.
6.2 Descriptions: Product are sold subject to its description. We take all reasonable care to ensure that all details and descriptions of Products are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered on to the Website system. Although we aim to keep the Website as up to date as possible, the information, including Product descriptions, appearing on the Website at a particular time may not always reflect the position at the exact moment you place an order. The dimensions given are written for your guidance.
6.3 All Products shown on our Website are subject to availability. If a Product you have ordered is temporarily unavailable or discontinued by the manufacturer, we will inform you by email as soon as possible and offer you a substitute item. You can then decide whether you would like the substitute item or whether you would prefer to cancel your order (in which case we will provide you with a full refund).
7. Ownership and Risk
7.1 The risk in any goods supplied by Bay Landscapes to the Customer shall pass on delivery.
7.2 Ownership of the goods remains with Bay Landscapes until payment is received in full for them and for all other goods supplied by Bay Landscapes to the Customer. The Customer shall be deemed to be a bailee of Bay Landscapes and acting in a fiduciary capacity in respect of any goods supplied by Bay Landscapes.
7.3 Until payment in full has been made to Bay Landscapes, the Customer acknowledges and agrees that:
a. The Customer gives Bay Landscapes irrevocable authority to enter any premises occupied by the Customer, at any reasonable time, to remove any goods not paid for in full by the Customer and to resell the goods removed and apply the proceeds to any overdue amounts subject to any contrary provision in the PPSA. Bay Landscapes shall not be liable for any costs, damages or expenses or any other losses incurred by the Customer or any third party as a result of this action.
b. If the Customer manufactures, intermingles or deals with the goods in such a way that they become an integral part of any other object then the Customer shall be deemed to do so as an agent of Bay
Landscapes and ownership of the goods will remain with Bay Landscapes as principal.
c. If the Customer sells the goods to a third party it shall become accountable to Bay Landscapes for the proceeds derived from such sale and the Customer shall hold such proceeds on trust for Bay Landscapes.

8.6 Where the goods the Customer acquires from us are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal household or domestic use or consumption, or where the Customer acquires the goods for the purposes of a business, the provisions of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and the conditions, warranties and guarantees set out in the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017 or implied by common law will not apply and are excluded from these terms.

9.2 Goods approved for return must be accompanied with a copy of the relevant invoice or receipt and must be returned within 14 days of delivery. Goods returned that do not meet these conditions will be rejected and will not be shipped back to the Customer except at their expense (a handling fee may also apply).

10.2 Should Bay Landscapes be found liable to the Customer for any reason notwithstanding clause 10.1, the Customer agrees that in no case shall the liability of Bay Landscapes exceed the purchase price of the goods giving rise to the liability.
10.3 The Customer shall indemnify Bay Landscapes against all claims of any kind whatsoever, however caused or arising, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing of this clause, whether caused or arising as a result of the negligence of Bay Landscapes or otherwise, brought by any person in connection with any matter, act, omission, or error of Bay Landscapes, its agents or employees in connection with the provision of the goods and/or services.
