Account Application

30-Day Trade Account Terms & Conditions

1. About these Terms

These Terms apply to all goods and services supplied on credit by Shoreline Security Pty Ltd trading as Shoreline Locksmiths (“Shoreline”) to the person, business or legal entity identified in this application (“Applicant”).

If the application is approved, the Applicant becomes the holder of the Shoreline trade account (“Account Holder”).

These Terms apply to all goods and services subsequently supplied on the trade account unless Shoreline agrees otherwise in writing.

2. Account Approval and Credit Limit

Approval of a trade account is at Shoreline’s discretion.

Shoreline may set a credit limit or other reasonable account conditions and will advise the Applicant of these when the account is approved.

A credit limit does not affect the Account Holder’s responsibility to pay amounts properly incurred on the account, including where Shoreline allows the account balance to temporarily exceed that limit.

3. Orders Placed on the Account

The Account Holder is responsible for goods and services ordered or authorised on its account by its employees, representatives or agents who have authority to place orders on its behalf.

This includes work ordered for properties, customers or other locations managed or represented by the Account Holder.

Where the Account Holder requires a purchase order, work order number or other internal reference, it is the Account Holder’s responsibility to provide this when placing the order. The absence of an internal reference does not remove the Account Holder’s obligation to pay for goods or services that were otherwise properly authorised.

4. Payment Terms

Invoices are payable within 30 days from the invoice date, unless Shoreline agrees otherwise in writing.

Payment must be made using one of the payment methods specified on the invoice.

5. Overdue Accounts

If an amount remains unpaid after its due date, Shoreline may charge simple interest at 10% per annum, calculated daily on the overdue amount from the due date until payment is received.

The Account Holder must also reimburse Shoreline for reasonable debt collection and legal costs actually incurred in recovering overdue amounts, to the extent permitted by law.

6. Invoice Queries and Disputes

If the Account Holder believes an invoice is incorrect or disputes an amount charged, it must notify Shoreline as soon as reasonably practicable and provide details of the disputed amount and the reason for the dispute.

Any portion of an invoice that is not genuinely disputed remains payable by the applicable due date.

Nothing in these Terms limits any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

7. Account Holds and Credit Facilities

If an undisputed amount becomes overdue, Shoreline may:

1. place the trade account on hold;
2. require overdue amounts to be paid before undertaking further work; and/or
3. require payment in advance for further goods or services until the account is brought within its agreed terms.

Shoreline may also reduce, suspend or withdraw credit facilities where the Account Holder’s payment history, credit risk or other circumstances reasonably justify doing so.

8. Account Information and Trade References

The Applicant confirms that the information provided in this application is true and correct to the best of its knowledge.

The Applicant authorises Shoreline to contact the trade references provided for the purpose of assessing and administering the trade account and authorises those referees to provide information reasonably relevant to the Applicant’s trading and payment history.

The Account Holder must notify Shoreline of any material change to its details, including changes to its legal entity, ownership, ABN, business address or accounts contact details.

A trade account may not be transferred to another person or legal entity without Shoreline’s approval.

9. Ownership of Goods and PPSA

Risk in goods supplied by Shoreline passes to the Account Holder upon delivery.

Where applicable, title to goods supplied on credit remains with Shoreline until those goods have been paid for in full.

To the extent that this arrangement creates a security interest under the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (PPSA), the Account Holder grants Shoreline a security interest in those goods and their proceeds to secure payment for those goods and authorises Shoreline to register that security interest on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR).

Any rights under this clause will be exercised in accordance with applicable law.

10. Authority and Electronic Acceptance

The person submitting this application confirms that they are authorised by the Applicant to submit the application and accept these Terms on the Applicant’s behalf.

The Applicant agrees that this application, these Terms and their acceptance may be completed and retained electronically.

Submission of the application constitutes acceptance of these Terms by the Applicant where the person submitting the application has authority to act on its behalf.

11. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of Queensland and New South Wales, Australia.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
