Conditions of Sale

All orders are accepted by Competition Systems subject to the Terms and Conditions of Sale set out below:

General

All orders for products ("Products") or services ("Services") will be accepted by Compsystems Pty Ltd Trading As Competition Systems ("Competition Systems") subject to these terms and conditions of sale. Any person who places orders for Products or Services with Competition Systems ("Customer") is bound by these terms and conditions. No other terms will apply to the supply of Products and Services by Competition Systems unless agreed in writing by an authorised signatory of Competition Systems. Competition Systems 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.compsystems.com.au. References to the "Competition Systems catalogue" include Competition Systems paper catalogue, Competition Systems website and any other catalogue of products published by Competition Systems in any medium.

Descriptions of the Products and Services in the Competition Systems catalogue or otherwise communicated to the Customer are approximate only and shall not form any part of the contract with the Customer. Competition Systems shall not be liable to the Customer for any errors or omissions in its catalogue. The advertising of products and services in the Competition Systems catalogue is not an offer capable of acceptance it merely constitutes an invitation by Competition Systems for the Customer to make an offer.

Products otherwise identified as extended range products are not stocked by Competition Systems (the "Extended Range"). Any provisions relating to the Extended Range will prevail over any other inconsistent provisions.

Prices

The prices of Products and Services are as set out in the Competition Systems catalogue that is current at the date of despatch of the Products or provision of the Services. Products which are not listed in the Competition Systems catalogue will be sold at the prices set out in the relevant Competition Systems quotation. Competition Systems reserves the right to change prices without prior notice at any time. Up-to-date prices can be found at www.compsystems.com.au.

GST

"GST" means the goods and services tax under the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth). GST is a broad-based tax of 10% on the supply of goods and services.

All quoted prices exclude GST which is then added to the quoted price. If GST applies to any supply the Customer must pay an additional amount equal to the amount of GST. Competition Systems will provide a GST-compliant tax invoice within 28 days of a request.

Ordering

Competition Systems reserves the right to decline to trade with any company or person and may decline to accept any order.

Competition Systems will not substitute an ordered Product for another unless requested by the Customer, or unless the Product has been superseded by the latest version. If the Customer confirms telephone, fax or internet orders, the confirmation must be marked 'confirmation only' to avoid duplication. If the Customer orders the wrong Product or quantity, or duplicates orders, clause 12 will apply.

Delivery

Competition Systems will aim to deliver Products in accordance with the Customer's order. The Customer's delivery options, and the prices for them, are set out at Competition Systems website or will be notified to the Customer at the time of order. Lead times for the Extended Range are published on the Competition Systems website. Delivery will be made to the Customer's usual business address, unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Times and dates for delivery quoted in the Competition Systems catalogue or by Competition Systems employees are approximate only and Competition Systems shall not be liable for the consequences of any delay in delivery. Time for delivery shall not be of the essence. Delivery of Products marked in the catalogue as requiring special handling may (because of their nature) take longer to deliver.

If any delivery is late, the Customer must notify Competition Systems, and Competition Systems will endeavour to ascertain if the product has been delivered or the expected delivery time of the product to the Customer. If a revised delivery time is not acceptable Competition Systems may offer an alternative delivery option. In the case of an express delivery, Competition Systems will refund the total delivery charge to the Customer if the Customer can prove late or non-delivery. Competition Systems may notify the Customer if Competition Systems will be unable to fulfil any order for Extended Range Products within the published lead time, and will provide alternative options. These are the Customer's exclusive remedies for late delivery and Competition Systems 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.

Special delivery conditions may apply for export orders. Call +61 3 8743 5550 for more details.

Inspection, Transit Delays and Non-delivery

The Customer must inspect all Products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and shall, within 10 days of delivery or, in the case of (iv), the due date for delivery, give written notice to Competition Systems of:

1. Any defect in a Product that is apparent on reasonable examination. In this case Competition Systems shall, at Competition Systems discretion, replace the Product or refund the purchase price (See clause 10 for terms of warranty).
2. Any shortfall in Products delivered. In this case Competition Systems shall, at its discretion, deliver the undelivered Products or refund the price of the undelivered Products.

• Any delivery of Products not in accordance with the order. In this case Competition Systems shall, at Competition Systems discretion, replace the Products or refund the purchase price.

1. Any non-delivery of the Products. In this case Competition Systems shall deliver the undelivered Products or refund the price of the undelivered Products.

If the Customer fails to give any such notice, the Customer will be deemed to have accepted the relevant order as being delivered in accordance with the Customer's instructions and to have accepted the Products as being free from all apparent defects.

The remedies set out above are the Customer's exclusive remedies in the circumstances described in paragraphs (i) to (iv) above. Competition Systems shall not be liable for any other losses, damages or expenses.

Payment

If Competition Systems has not granted credit to the Customer, payment terms are cash with order.

Credit terms (subject to satisfactory references and Competition Systems's absolute discretion) are available. If credit has been granted, the Customer must pay by the 30th after the invoice date. All payments must be made without any set-off, deduction or counterclaim.

If any sum is not paid on the due date for payment:

1. All sums then outstanding from the Customer will immediately become due and payable notwithstanding that such sums would not otherwise be due until a later date;
2. The Customer will be liable to pay all expenses and legal costs incurred by Competition Systems in relation to obtaining or seeking to obtain an appropriate remedy; and

• Competition Systems may charge the Customer interest calculated on the unpaid amount and accrued during the period from the due date until payment is made in full (whether before or after judgement) at the rate of one per cent per month, compounded monthly.

Passing of Risk and Property

Risk of loss of or damage to the Products shall pass to the Customer on delivery. Ownership of the Products shall not pass to the Customer until all sums due to Competition Systems from the Customer for those Products have been received by Competition Systems, and until that time Competition Systems shall be entitled to the immediate return of all Products if the Customer is late in paying any sum to Competition Systems. The Customer authorises Competition Systems and its agents to enter any premises of the Customer and to recover the Products for that purpose.

Product and Availability Information

Competition Systems reserves the right to discontinue any Product or to change its design at any time. Unless otherwise confirmed, nothing in the Catalogue is to be taken as a representation of the source of origin, manufacture, or production of any Products or any part of them.

Warranty

To the extent permitted by the Competition and Consumer Act 2011 (CCA):

1. For Products: Competition Systems warrants that if any Product is defective, it will, at its option, replace or repair the Product or refund the purchase price. This warranty is subject to a claim being notified in writing to Competition Systems within 12 months of the date of despatch of the Product, or such other longer period as may be indicated by Competition Systems for specific products from time to time.
2. For Services: Competition Systems warrants that if any Service is defective, it will, at its option, either rectify the Service or supply to the Customer free of charge a substitute Product in place of the defectively serviced Product. This warranty is subject to a claim being notified in writing to Competition Systems within 12 months of the date of the invoice, or such other periods as may be indicated by Competition Systems for specific Products from time to time.

These warranties shall not apply to any defect which arises from improper use, failure to follow the product instructions, or any repair or modification made without the consent of Competition Systems. The Customer must deal with the defective Products in accordance with Competition Systems instructions.

The Customer must contact Competition Systems to notify Competition Systems in advance of the return of any Products and obtain a returns number, to be quoted on all paperwork. Returned Products must be accompanied by an advice note stating the invoice number and the nature of the defect. Where the Customer does not return Products in accordance with this clause 9, Competition Systems may refuse such Products and return them to the Customer at the Customer's cost.

The Customer acknowledges that it is responsible for ensuring that the Products and Services it orders are fit for the purposes for which it intends to use them.

In giving the warranties set out above, Competition Systems does not exclude or limit any application of the Competition and Consumer Act 2011 (CCA) where to do so would contravene the CCA or cause any term of these conditions to be void ("Non Excludable Condition"). These warranties are in addition to any Non- Excludable Conditions.

Limitations of Use

Cancellations and Returns

The Customer may not cancel orders once accepted by Competition Systems. Competition Systems may allow an order to be cancelled at its discretion, subject to Competition Systems recovering from the Customer the costs incurred by Competition Systems. If only part of an order is cancelled, Competition Systems may invoice the Customer any difference in selling price per unit applicable to the quantity actually despatched prior to cancellation compared to the quantity ordered.

The Customer may only cancel or amend scheduled orders (i.e. orders for Products to be delivered periodically and which are specifically sourced for the Customer) if notice is received in writing at least 14 days prior to the next delivery date.

The Customer may only return Products to Competition Systems for a change of mind or for incorrect ordering, and receive a credit or refund, on the following conditions:

• Products must be adequately packed and dispatched freight prepaid, clearly labelled, to Competition Systems 4/2 Brett Drive, Carrum Downs, Victoria 3201.

Products accepted for return will be credited at invoice value. Competition Systems reserves the right to apply a handling charge of 25% of invoice value.

This returns policy excludes DVDs, videotapes, books, software, calibrated Products, scheduled orders and non-catalogue Products. Competition Systems will accept the return of test equipment in its sole discretion.

Services

Competition Systems offers repair and calibration Services in respect of Products. Competition Systems may quote a turnaround time target for these Services, but will be under no liability if it fails to comply with such target. The conditions which apply to each of the Services are set out below.

Repairs: The Repair Service is subject to the availability of parts and is only available if the Product has not suffered excessive physical or electrical damage and is free from modifications (other than those detailed in the Product literature). Competition Systems may at its absolute discretion either repair the Product or replace it with a substitute Product. Any Customer-generated software returned with a Product will be erased and Competition Systems shall not be under any liability whatsoever in respect of any data contained in such software.

Calibration: Competition Systems will check the Product for compliance with the published specification at appropriate points, using working standards which are periodically verified and which are traceable to national standards. Competition Systems will issue a dated and signed certificate of testing, which gives details of the measurements made. If Competition Systems has to carry out more than the minor adjustments appropriate to a normal recalibration routine, Competition Systems will either return the Product to the Customer or, on receipt of the appropriate order, will repair the Product subject to Competition Systems' Repair Service conditions, before further Calibration. In this case, the Repair Service charge will be payable by the Customer in addition to the Calibration Service charge.

These service obligations apply where the general obligations of Competition Systems under the Warranties and Non-Excludable Conditions do not apply to a given circumstance.

Rights in the Catalogue

The Customer acknowledges that Competition Systems and its licensors own the intellectual property rights in the catalogue, the catalogue content and the stock numbers, and that their whole or partial reproduction without Competition Systems prior written consent is prohibited.

Force Majeure

A force majeure event is any event beyond the reasonable control of Competition Systems (including strikes, traffic congestion, the downtime of any external line, or Competition Systems inability to procure services, materials or articles required for the performance of the contract except at enhanced prices). If Competition Systems is prevented or restricted from carrying out all or any of its obligations by reason of any force majeure event, then Competition Systems shall be relieved of its obligations during the period that such event continues, and shall not be liable for any delay and/or failure in the performance of its obligations during such period. If the force majeure event continues for a period longer than 14 days, Competition Systems may cancel the affected order or cancel the whole or any part of these terms and conditions, without any liability to the Customer.

Anti-Bribery

The Customer shall (and shall procure that persons associated with it or other persons who are purchasing goods or services in connection with this contract shall) comply with all applicable laws, statutes, regulations relating to anti-bribery and anti-corruption, including, but not limited to, the UK Bribery Act 2010 (the Relevant Requirements) and shall:

1. not (directly or indirectly) induce any employee, agent or subcontractor of Competition Systems to make any concession to or confer any benefit on the Customer, refrain or withhold from doing any act, in return for any gift, money, or other inducement;
2. not do or omit to do any act that will cause or lead Competition Systems to be in breach of any of the Relevant Requirements;

• promptly report to Competition Systems any request or demand for any undue financial or other advantage of any kind received by the Customer in connection with the performance of this contract;

1. accept gifts of more than token value, loans, excessive entertainment or other substantial favours from any company or individual that does business with Competition Systems or seeks to do so;
2. solicit gifts or other favours from any company or individual that does business with Competition Systems, or seeks to do so.

Financial restrictions on gifts and entertainment are contained in Competition Systems Anti-Bribery Policy and further details are available on request.

Any breach of this clause 16 shall be a material breach of this contract which is incapable of remedy.
