All orders are accepted by Smartech subject to the Terms and Conditions of Sale set out below:
1.1 All orders for products ("Products") or services ("Services") will be accepted by Smartech Sales and Trading Sdn Bhd ("Smartech") subject to these Terms and Conditions of Sale. Any person who places orders for Products or Services with Smartech ("Customer") is bound by these terms and conditions. No other terms will apply to the supply of Products and Services by Smartech unless agreed in writing by an authorised signatory of Smartech of rank General Manager and higher. Smartech reserves the right to amend these terms and conditions at any time. The most current version of these terms and conditions can be found at www.smart-hvac.com.my. References to the "Smartech website" include Smartech's website and any other catalogue of products published by Smartech in any medium.
1.2 All descriptions of the Products and Services contained on the Smartech website or otherwise communicated to the Customer are approximate only and shall not form any part of the contract between Smartech and the Customer. Smartech shall not be liable to the Customer for any errors or omissions on its website, the product catalogue or other product advertisement. The advertising of products and services on the Smartech website is not an offer capable of acceptance; it merely constitutes an invitation by Smartech for the Customer to make an offer to purchase Products and Services. Smartech's acceptance of the Customer's order will take place when Smartech confirms pricing and delivery dates to the Customer in writing, at which point a contract will come into existence between Smartech and the Customer.
1.3 The Customer’s particular attention is required for Clause 11, which sets out certain limitations of Smartech’s liability.
2.1 The prices of the Products and Services are as set out on the Smartech website. Smartech reserves the right to change prices without prior notice at any time. Customer is informed that prices and products in the printed hard copy catalogue are subject to change. Up-to-date information can be found on the Smartech website. In the event of any conflict between prices for any products listed on the Smartech website and prices listed in the physical catalogue, prices listed on the Smartech website shall prevail.
2.2 The price of an ordered Product or Service will be as set out on the Smartech website at the time of order acceptance by Smartech, except for products or services ordered for delivery at a future specified date (“forward orders”). The price for forward orders may be varied by Smartech after the date of order acceptance by written notice to the Customer.
2.3 All prices are inclusive of prevailing sales tax rate. Unless otherwise stated, prices quoted are for ex-factory delivery or shipment to be arranged by the Customer at Customer’s own expense; and exclude all transportation and site hoisting charges.
3.1 Smartech reserves the right to decline to trade with any company or person. Smartech may decline to accept any order, whether or not payment has been received, by giving notice of non-acceptance to the Customer by telephone, email or facsimile within a reasonable period of receipt of the order by Smartech. Further, Smartech may cancel orders which have been accepted by giving written notice of such cancellation to the Customer by telephone, email or facsimile within a reasonable period of receipt of the order by Smartech. If Smartech rejects or cancels an order for which payment has been taken, it will refund the amount to the Customer as soon as reasonably practicable.
3.2 Smartech executes orders to the Customer's requirements but may provide substitute products where requested by the Customer, or where the product has been superseded by the latest version. To the extent that orders cannot be fulfilled completely from stock, the unfulfilled balance will (at the Customer's option) either be put on back order to be fulfilled when Smartech next has available stock or be cancelled and refunded to the Customer.
4.1 Subject to any cancellation, substitution or non-fulfilment of Customer's orders in accordance with Clause 3 (Ordering), Smartech will deliver the products specified in the Customer's order. Smartech may use third party delivery agents to deliver products to Customers.
4.2 The Customer's delivery options, and the prices for them, are as set out on the Smartech website at the date of order or will be notified to the Customer at the time of order.
4.3 Delivery prices apply per order, irrespective of the number of products ordered. Delivery will be made to the Customer's usual business address, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
4.4 Smartech will aim to deliver products in accordance with the times and dates for delivery quoted on the Smartech website or by Smartech employees (the 'Quoted Delivery Times'), but Quoted Delivery Times are approximate only and Smartech shall not be liable for the consequences of any delay in delivery. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence. Unless specifically agreed in writing by Smartech, Smartech will not accept any late delivery penalty or liable for any damages resulting from the failure to deliver within the time stated. Customer may optionally choose to cancel a particular order or a particular item of an order if Smartech has delayed delivery by more than 30 days from committed delivery date which has been agreed in writing by Smartech.
4.5 If any delivery has not been made by the Quoted Delivery Time, then subject to the Customer notifying Smartech of such delay, Smartech will endeavour to ascertain if the product has been delivered and will inform the Customer of the status of the delivery or the new expected delivery time. Smartech may also, at its discretion, refund the total delivery charge to the Customer. If a revised delivery time is not acceptable, Smartech may also, at its discretion, offer an alternative delivery option. These are the Customer's exclusive remedies for late delivery and Smartech shall not be liable for any loss or damage (including indirect, consequential or economic) suffered or incurred by the Customer or any other party in relation to late delivery.
4.6 If Customer opts for Self-Collect option at checkout, all products in the Customer’s order are to be collected by the Customer within 14 days after agreed scheduled delivery date. If the products are not collected within the above stipulated 14 days period, Smartech shall issue an invoice for the uncollected finished goods kept in the factory premise and the invoice shall be payable in accordance to agreed payment terms. If the finished goods remain uncollected after 30 days from agreed scheduled delivery date, Smartech shall impose a storage charge of 2% per 30 days period based on the Sales Price of the products until collection takes place. Unless payment due is fully settled, if after 120 days, the Customer’s order remain uncollected, Smartech shall reserve the right to dispose the products in the Customer’s order and treat the order as cancelled and the cancellation charges of 80% of sales value of the Customer’s order shall be imposed.
5.1 The Customer must inspect all products as soon as is reasonably possible after delivery or collection. The Customer shall, within 10 days of the date of delivery or collection or, in the case of sub-clause iv. below, the Quoted Delivery Time or any updated estimated date for delivery, give written notice to Smartech in detail of:
5.2 If the Customer fails to give any such notice, the products shall be conclusively presumed to be, in all respects, in accordance with the order and free from apparent defects, and the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the products accordingly. Smartech's record of the products dispatched (including the quantity) shall be conclusive evidence of the products received by the Customer, unless proved otherwise by the Customer.
5.3 The remedies set out above are the Customer's exclusive remedies for non-delivery or short delivery of products, or for apparent defects in the products or delivery of products not in accordance with the order. Smartech shall not be liable for any losses, consequential or otherwise, or for costs (including legal costs), expenses, liabilities, loss of profits, business or economic loss, depletion of goodwill, damages, claims, demands, proceedings, judgments or otherwise arising from these circumstances.
6.1 If Smartech has not granted credit to the Customer, payment terms must be made in advance prior to delivery except for orders above RM20,000.00 using the following modes:
6.2 For orders above RM20,000.00, Customer shall make 30% down-payment upon Order Confirmation and balance 70% shall be paid by Cash or Irrevocable Confirmed Letter of Credit at Sight, to be issued at least 4 weeks before completion date of production or date of ex-factory delivery unless mutually agreed between Customer and Smartech in writing or agreement.
6.3 Credit terms (subject to satisfactory references and at Smartech's absolute discretion) are available. If credit has been granted, on acceptance of a Customer's order, Smartech will issue that Customer with an invoice. Such invoice will be sent by post unless otherwise agreed between Smartech and the Customer. The standard credit term by which payment must be made is 30 days from date of invoice. All payments must be made without any set-off, deduction or counterclaim.
6.4 If any sum is not paid on the due date for payment then, without prejudice to any other right or remedy:
7.1 In the case of products to be delivered to the Customer's property, risk of loss of or damage to the products shall pass to the Customer on delivery, unless the Customer wrongfully fails to take delivery of the products, in which case such risk shall pass to the Customer at the time when Smartech has attempted to deliver the products.
7.2 Ownership of any product supplied shall not pass to the Customer until full payment of the purchase price of the products and of all other amounts owing to Smartech has been made (in cash or cleared funds). If the Customer is late in paying any sum to Smartech, then Smartech shall be entitled to the immediate return of all products where ownership has not passed to the Customer. The Customer authorises Smartech and its agents to recover any such products in such circumstance, and to enter any premises of the Customer for that purpose.
7.3 Demand for or recovery of the products by Smartech shall not of itself discharge either the Customer's liability to pay the whole of the price and take delivery of the products or Smartech's right to sue for the whole of the price.
8.1 Smartech reserves the right, without prior notice, to discontinue any product or to make design changes as part of its continuous programme of product improvement, or to assist product availability, and such changes may take place during the life of any catalogues available on Smartech’s website. The most up to date information on the availability and design of the products Smartech supplies is available on the Smartech website.
