Question 1

Payment of goods

Accepted Answer

Property in the goods shall not pass to the purchaser until such time as the goods have been paid for in full.

Until the goods are paid for in full:
1.1 The Wine Company Pty Ltd (‘the Company’) may at any time recover or re-sell the goods and may enter
upon the purchaser’s premises for that purpose;

1.2 The purchaser may sell the goods in the ordinary course of its business to bona fide purchasers for value
but only as agent for the Company;

For the first three (3) months of continuous trading new accounts require payment on delivery by credit card
payment or cheque (cash will not be accepted); or payments in advance;

After the first three (3) months trading payment is required on the 14th day of the month following the month
in which the goods are invoiced. Any late payment will attract interest at 12% per annum from date of default
to date of payment;

The agreement to supply goods is strictly subject to the director(s) of any purchaser’s company signing the
Guarantee and Indemnity overleaf and the director(s), by signing below, acknowledge having read and 
understood and unconditionally agree to be bound by the Guarantee and Indemnity incorporated herein
and signed by them.

Question 2

Freight, handling and insurance fees

Accepted Answer

Freight, handling and insurance fees (where applicable):

Delivery, handling and insurances (“the services”) will be provided by TWC unless otherwise advised 
by the customer in writing. The services are subjected to a separate but optional contract between 
TWC and the customer. Where the customer contracts for the services, a delivery, handling and 
insurance fee (“the service fee”) plus any additional delivery costs (see delivery below) will be charged
to the customer’s account.

Costs for the services have been met by TWC on behalf of the customer and where applicable, will be
charged to the customer’s account and included in the composite invoice price When the services are
provided to the customer, the services fee charged to the customer account will be $9.00 per dozen plus GST.

The services fee and any other additional delivery costs are separate and distinct from the amount charged
for the supply of goods (“the goods price”). The services fee is included in the wholesale price unless a 
separate arrangement has been agreed between the customer and TWC.

Where the customer decides not to take up TWC’s offer to perform the services, the customer must give
prior notice to TWC, so that arrangements can be made for reasonable access to be given for the customer
to pick up goods from the TWC’s warehouse or arrange for an alternative supplier to transport the goods. 
Where the customer elects not to acquire the services, the service fee will not be charged.

Question 3

Delivery Fees?

Accepted Answer

Where the services are provided by TWC, the customer must specify the place of delivery when ordering
goods and may make specific arrangements for delivery and freight.

For metro customers, any orders two (2) dozen and above, and for outer metro and regional customers any
orders five (5) cases and above, there will be no extra charges for administration or handling fees over the
services included in the wholesale price into capital city warehouses and stores, unless an urgent delivery
is requested by the customer (in which case TWC will invoice the customer for additional costs).

For metro customers:
Orders less than two (2) dozen will incur a picking and administration fee of $25.00 per order.

For outer metro and regional customers: 
Orders less than five (5) cases will incur an administration fee of $8.00 per case (minimum $24.00 charge).
