TERMS OF TRADE
| 1. | APPLICATION AND VARIATION OF TERMS OF TRADE |
| 1.1 | These Terms of Trade apply to the supply of all goods and services
("the Goods") by Farco Technologies Limited ("Farco")
to the customer ("the Customer"). Changes to these Terms
of Trade will be notified to the Customer by Farco in writing. |
| 2. | QUOTATIONS AND ORDERS |
| 2.1 | The Customer may request a quote ("the Quotation") from Farco setting out the price and quantity of the Goods to be supplied. If the Quotation is acceptable to the Customer, the Customer may place an order as required in clause 2.2. If the order is not placed with Farco within 30 days of the date of the Quotation, the Quotation is subject to further written confirmation by Farco in its absolute discretion. Prices quoted are for the quantity requested. Farco may in its absolute discretion vary the price if the order quantity is different from that contained in the Quotation. |
| 2.2 | The Customer will complete a purchase order and send the purchase order to Farco along with a signed copy of these Terms of Trade or some other form of acknowledgement by the Customer confirming that the Customer is bound by the Terms of Trade. Farco will send the Customer written notice confirming the order whereupon a binding contract will arise between Farco and the Customer. Farco reserves the right to supply the whole or only part of the order. |
| 2.3 | Farco will not be bound by any conditions included in the Customer's order unless it accepts them in writing. If Farco does not accept any conditions included in the Customer's order and the Customer accepts delivery of goods delivered under that order, the acceptance of delivery by the Customer will be deemed to be acceptance by the Customer of these Terms of Trade notwithstanding anything that may be stated to the contrary in the Customer's inquiries or on the Customer's orders. |
| 2.4 | Farco has the right not to accept any orders or to cancel any orders, which it has accepted if due to circumstances beyond Farco's control, filling the order is impracticable or uneconomic. |
| 2.5 | These Terms of Trade will prevail over and exclude all Acts or legal
obligations to the extent permitted by law. |
| 3. | PRICE |
| 3.1 | For a New Zealand Customer, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the price for the Goods is stated in New Zealand dollars and will be the current price charged by Farco at the date of delivery. For the purposes of these Terms of Trade, a New Zealand Customer is one whose delivery address is in New Zealand. |
| 3.2 | For an Overseas Customer, unless otherwise agreed in writing, the price for the Goods is stated in United States dollars and will be the current price charged by Farco at the date of delivery. For the purposes of these Terms of Trade, an Overseas Customer is one whose delivery address is outside New Zealand. |

| 3.4 | The price payable by an Overseas Customer may be altered at any
time before delivery due to exchange rate fluctuations. |
