Terms & Conditions

1. PRICES

Prices are subject to alteration without notice. Prices do not include a Goods & Service Tax. Goods will be invoiced on the date of despatch at the ruling price on that date. Prices referred to in this catalogue are recommended prices only. There is no obligation to comply with our recommendations.

2. DELIVERY

Unless otherwise agreed in writing a delivery charge will be charged on all metropolitan deliveries including those to transport depots. Deliveries to other areas using an GCA nominated Freight Company will also incur a freight charge. All freight costs beyond the above are the responsibility of the purchaser. No responsibility will be accepted for goods damaged in transit.

Delivery by Australia Post

Australia Post deliveries that GCA pay for are sent by 'receipted mail'. The appropriate charge will then be added to the purchaser's invoice. For those purchasers using Reply Paid Post numbers, an extra charge for 'registered mail' will be added to the purchaser's invoice.
This allows GCA to track parcels, as well as hopefully find any parcels that may go missing.
Those purchasers not wishing to have their goods sent by registered mail can do so, but GCA will take no responsibility for goods lost in transit and no credit will be issued.

3. CLAIMS/CREDITS

Claims for short or incorrect deliveries will not be recognised unless they are made within five working days of the date of delivery. Goods accepted as faulty will be credited at invoice value or replaced. No responsibility will be accepted for the cost of any repairs or alterations executed without previous consent in writing. No claim will be recognised unless the invoice and/or delivery docket number is quoted.

4. RETURNS

Specially ordered or manufactured goods will not be accepted for credit. Stock items will not be accepted for return unless prior arrangement has been made. Freight charges on returned goods are the responsibility of the purchaser. Goods correctly delivered, as ordered, may be subject to a handling fee if accepted for return.

5. TRADING TERMS

Our terms are 30 days which means invoices are payable by the end of the following month i.e. an invoice raised in January is payable by the end of February. If payments are not received by the fifteenth day after the due date, credit facilities may be suspended without notice.

6. LIABILITY
