Quotes
If you would like to receive further information regarding the Products or to receive a quote, please contact us.
No information or quote which Quantum provides to you regarding its Products constitutes an offer by Quantum to supply any of its Products to you.
If Quantum provides you with a quote for any of its Products (Quote), you may submit an order (Order) for acceptance by Quantum at the price stated in that Quote for a period of 14 days after the date of issue of the Quote (Quote Period).
If you would like to place an Order after the expiry of the Quote Period, you must ask Quantum to provide a new or updated quote.
Orders
Order constitutes offer
If you submit an Order to Quantum, you make an irrevocable offer to Quantum to purchase the Products that are identified and described in that Order at the prices described in that Order.
Quantum will not commence processing any Order placed by you unless and until:
- payment of the Deposit for that Order has been received in full (see Payment Timeframes below); and
- the Order has passed Quantum’s internal validation procedures, which are undertaken to verify the bona fides of each Order for the purpose of preventing credit card and other fraud.
Quantum reserves the right in its discretion to:
- at any time prior to your Order being accepted by it in accordance with these Sales Terms, refuse or cancel all or part of your Order; and
- at any time:
– refuse to sell its Products to you;
– terminate your access to the Site; and/or
– remove or edit any content on this Site, including any of the Products and prices.
Acceptance of orders
Acceptance of an Order will take place if and when Quantum confirms acceptance of your Order in writing (Accepted Order). You cannot cancel an Accepted Order without first obtaining the written consent of Quantum, which it may refuse in its sole discretion. In that event, you will be liable for all losses incurred (whether direct or indirect) by Quantum because of that cancellation, including but not limited to, a cancellation fee which may not exceed the Price.
Delivery
On acceptance of the Order, Quantum will provide you with an estimated date for delivery. Please note that this is an estimate only and Quantum will not be liable if, for any reason, it is does not deliver the Products in the Accepted Order to you by that estimated date.
You are not relieved of any obligation to accept and/or pay for the Products because of any delay in delivering and/or installing the Products.
Quantum will give you at least 5 Business Days’ notice in writing of the date on which the Products will be available for installation and/or collection (Delivery Date) from its premises situated at Wilberforce, New South Wales (Premises).
You acknowledge and agree that while the Products are being delivered and/or installed your vehicle is at all times parked at the Premises at your sole risk. You indemnify and accept responsibility for all damage or loss to property or personnel of Quantum caused by your vehicle, unless caused by the wilful negligence of Quantum or its employees.
If you fail to collect the Products from the Premises within 5 days after the Delivery Date, without limiting Quantum’s other rights at law or under these Sales Terms, Quantum may charge you a daily storage fee for each day from and including the Delivery Date until and including the day on which the Products are collected by you.
If you fail to collect the Products from the Premises within 3 months, without prejudice to its other rights, Quantum may regard those Products as abandoned and sell them for its own benefit without further notice to you. The Customer waives any claim it may have against Quantum in respect of such sale.
Title and Risk
All risk in and to the Products will pass from Quantum to you on the earlier of delivery or installation of the Products on your vehicle.
Despite any other provision of these Sales Terms, title in and to the Products will pass on the later of delivery or installation of the Products, or receipt by Quantum of the full Price, in cleared funds.
Prices
The Price payable by you for the Products is the price set out in the Accepted Order (inclusive of GST) (Price) and includes a deposit equal to 50% of the Price (inclusive of GST) (Deposit).
Quantum reserves the right to vary the Price, if:
- you request a variation of the Products which Quantum accepts; or
- there is an increase in the cost of labour and/or parts necessary for manufacture, delivery and/or installation of the Products which is beyond Quantum’s control.
Shipping costs
Shipping costs will depend upon the location for delivery and the Products purchased and will be charged separately. You may request a quote for shipping costs, if required.
GST
Unless otherwise expressly stated, all amounts payable by you, including the Price, are expressed to be inclusive of GST. For these purposes, the term “GST” has the meaning given to it in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth).
Time for Payment
You must pay the full Deposit to Quantum when you place your Order. Quantum may not accept your Order and will not begin processing your Accepted Order until it receives the Deposit in Full.
You must pay the balance of the Price to Quantum before Quantum installs or delivers the Products to you. Without limitation to Quantum’s rights under these Sales Terms or at law, Quantum is not obliged to deliver or install the Products until it has received payment of the full Price, plus GST, in cleared funds.
If you are in default of these Sales Terms and/or fail to pay any amount payable under these Sales Terms by the due date for payment, Quantum may, without prejudice to its other rights under these Sales Terms or at law:
- withhold any further deliveries of Products to you, and/or
- cancel any Accepted Order you may have with the Quantum for the Products; and/or
- charge interest at 10% above the Reserve Bank of Australia’s target cash rate at the time of Accepted Order and/or
- charge an administrative fee for following up on any outstanding payments; and/or
- charge you the costs incurred by Quantum arising from or in connection with the recovery of the outstanding amounts.
Payment methods
All amounts payable by you must be paid without deduction, set-off or counterclaim of any kind.
Payment for Accepted Orders may be made:
• by credit card processed by our office; or
• via direct bank deposit by electronic funds transfer (EFT).
Credit and debit card payments
Quantum accepts payments using all major credit and debit cards. Please note that we may be unable to accept credit cards issued by banks outside of Australia.
Additional transaction fees may apply if you pay by credit card. If additional transaction fees apply, we will advise you of those charges at the time of payment. If you choose to proceed with that payment method, you will be liable for payment of those additional fees.
Payment by EFT
If you elect to pay by direct deposit using EFT, we will send you an email containing instructions for making the payment, or otherwise provide such information to you, including our bank account details and the reference number for the Accepted Order. Please quote the reference number for the EFT transaction to avoid delays in allocating your payment and processing your Accepted Order.
Refunds and other remedies
Except as expressly provided otherwise in these Sales Terms, all amounts paid for an Accepted Order are non-refundable. Further information on the steps that Quantum will take to remedy any breach of any non-excludable condition or warranty/guarantee is provided under “Remedies limited” and/or Schedule 1 in these Sales Terms.
Security
Quantum will not be responsible for any damages, including consequential losses (whether direct or indirect), that may be suffered by a customer whose credit or debit card or bank account information is used in a fraudulent or unauthorised manner by any person other than Quantum.
Quantum may request further information from you, such as a copy of your credit card and/or other identification documentation, as part of its internal validation procedures. These procedures help protect bank and credit card account holders from online fraud. Until your Order has passed our internal fraud prevention checks, your Order will remain on pending status. If further information is requested and you do not provide the requested information within such time as Quantum considers appropriate at its discretion, your Order will be cancelled and, if your payment has been received, it will be refunded back to you.
If for any reason, Quantum chooses not to accept your Order, Quantum will refund to you the Deposit paid by you for that Order.
