3.3 Onelab reserves the right, on giving prior written notice to the Customer, to vary the price of the Goods ordered by the Customer, between the date of the Customer's order and the date of delivery to take account of things such as (but without limitation):
(a) Any increase in labour costs, costs of materials of Goods supplied to Onelab by third
parties, costs of related services (including without limitation, freight or delivery

recovery of all outstanding amounts including, without limitation, Onelab's own
solicitor/client costs and costs of any debt collection agency engaged by Onelab;
(c) Onelab's right to require payment of interest and other costs under this clause 4.4
does not affect any other rights or remedies it may have relating to any failure to pay
an amount due under these Terms; and
(d) Without limiting clause 4.5, the Customer’s payment obligation to Onelab in
accordance with these Terms is unconditional and the Customer’s failure to pay any
invoice on the due date shall be an automatic default of these payment terms and

4.5 Without prejudice to any other remedies which Onelab may have:
(a) In the event of failure by the Customer to pay for Goods or other amounts due in
accordance with these Terms; or
(b) If the Customer otherwise fails to comply with these terms; or
(c) If Onelab deems the Customer's credit to be unsatisfactory,
(d) Onelab shall be entitled to cease supply of future goods to the Customer and cancel
any current orders for sale of Goods. Upon such cancellation and without prejudice
to any other remedies which Onelab might have, all credit in favour of the Customer
will cease and all payments outstanding will become immediately due and payable to
Onelab. Onelab may also take possession of such items of Goods and otherwise
exercise in relation to the Goods any of its rights whether those rights are as
owner/security interest holder and/or unpaid seller or otherwise and whether those
rights are conferred by common law, contract, statute or in any other way.
4.6 In accepting any payments from the Customer, Onelab will not be bound by any conditions or qualifications or other terms which the Customer may have attached to those payments.
5. GST
5.1 Onelab's prices referred to in these Terms, Web Portal and in any quotation which may have formed the basis of an order, are exclusive of GST (unless expressly stated otherwise). The Customer shall pay GST on the Goods or services the subject of these Terms, as invoiced by Onelab on the payment terms on that invoice and, if rendered on the same date or on the same invoice as the Goods supplied, at the same time as payment for the Goods to which the GST relates.
5.2 International orders will generally not incur GST unless the international order is undertaken for the purposes of a New Zealand based resident. The Customer making the order agrees to indemnify Onelab for any GST that is determined by the Commissioner of Inland Revenue (New Zealand) to be payable in respect of the order.
6. Delivery
6.1 Delivery is deemed to be made:
(a) When the Customer or the Customer's agent is given possession of the Goods at
Onelab's premises or elsewhere (loading is then at the Customer's risk); or

Customer's risk),
(c) whichever is the earlier.
6.2 On delivery:
(a) The Goods are at the Customer's sole risk; and
(b) Insurance is the Customer's responsibility.
6.3 Where the Customer requests a particular method of delivery and if Onelab agrees (in writing) then the Customer will cover the cost of delivery by that method from the point of dispatch of the Goods by Onelab and the risk of such delivery shall be borne entirely by the Customer unless otherwise agreed by Onelab and the Customer, in accordance with these Terms.
6.4 Any quotations of delivery times agreed by Onelab are made in good faith but are estimates and not commitments and no delay in delivery will entitle the Customer to refuse to accept delivery, or cancel its order, or otherwise entitle the Customer to any Damages whatsoever.

7.1 Risk (including, without limitation, insurance responsibility) of any loss, damage or
deterioration of or to the Goods shall pass to the Customer upon the delivery of Goods to the Customer.
7.2 The Customer acknowledges and agrees that Onelab sources its Goods from third parties and (to the maximum extent permitted by law) Onelab shall not be liable for any claim whatsoever except for Goods lost or damaged in transit.

out in full the reasons for non-acceptance of the Goods;
(c) In any case where the defect or damage is not reasonably able to be ascertained upon delivery, the Customer must notify Onelab within 48 hours of delivery of the full
particulars of the defect and the Customer must return the Goods (if requested by
Onelab) at Onelab's cost. The original packaging must be retained and made available
for Onelab's assessment purposes.

set forth in any invoice or fails to pay as may otherwise be agreed by Onelab and the
Customer;
(b) Fails to meet reasonable credit or financial requirements established by Onelab,
including any limitations on allowable credit; or
(c) Otherwise fails to comply with these Terms or any other agreement with Onelab; or
(d) Onelab has reasonable grounds to doubt the Customer's solvency or ability to pay and the Customer does not make arrangements satisfactory to Onelab to allow
restoration of credit; and
(e) Any such cancellation, refusal or delay by Onelab does not constitute a termination of any agreement with the Customer (unless Onelab so advises the Customer) and does
not constitute a breach of any such agreement or these Terms by Onelab.
8.3 Upon the written request of the Customer made no later than within 48 hours of the
Customer's receipt of the Goods, Onelab may, in its sole discretion (and in the interests of its Customer satisfaction), accept a return of Goods where the Goods remain undamaged and unopened. Such return of Goods (for example, special orders or ex-stock lines) will attract a restocking fee, chargeable to the Customer. Onelab may decline the return of any Indent Stock.
8.4 All return of Goods to Onelab for whatever reasons, require a Returned Goods Authority ("RGA") number, which may be obtained by contacting Onelab. Onelab will then provide you with return instructions. The returning Goods must be securely packed and must include the original packaging (without additional stickers, labels or writing on the Goods packaging).
