5. Delivery
5.1 Delivery of the Goods is taken to occur at the time that:
(a) the Buyer (or the Buyer’s nominated carrier) is notified that the Goods are available for collection from PSP’s premises; or
(b) PSP (or PSP’s nominated carrier) delivers the Goods to the Buyer’s nominated address even if the Buyer is not present at the address or otherwise fails to accept the Goods.
5.2 Any time specified by PSP for delivery of the Goods is an estimate only. PSP shall use all reasonable endeavours to meet any times for delivery (if stated), although delivery may depend on external factors beyond the control of PSP. Delivery times therefore cannot be guaranteed and shall not be a representation or condition of the Agreement. PSP shall not be liable for any delays in delivery.
5.3 The Buyer must take delivery by receipt or collection of the Goods whenever they are tendered for delivery. PSP will not be liable for any loss or damage incurred by the Buyer as a result of delivery being delayed, and any delay in delivery shall not entitle the Buyer to terminate an Order or claim remedies. In the event that the Buyer is unable to take delivery of the Goods as arranged then PSP shall be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for redelivery and/or for holding the Goods and any related materials pending redelivery or collection.
5.4 PSP may deliver the Goods in separate instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid in accordance with the Agreement.

6.2 If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed following delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Buyer, PSP is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Goods.

6.3 If the Buyer requests PSP to leave Goods outside PSP’s premises for collection or to deliver the Goods to an unattended location then such Goods shall be left at the Buyer’s sole risk.
6.4 The Buyer acknowledges that PSP may be required, in the course of providing the Goods, to make assessments based on information supplied either by the Buyer, or compiled by others. PSP will rely on and not verify its accuracy and completeness. The Buyer agrees that PSP will not be liable for any loss or damage the Buyer or any other person sustains, directly or indirectly, in connection with PSP’s reliance on that information. The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that in the event that any of the information provided by the Buyer is inaccurate, the Buyer shall indemnify and keep indemnified PSP against any loss, damages, expenses or costs however resulting from these inaccurate plans, specifications or other information.
6.5 The Buyer must not make any representations or warranties to its customers concerning the Goods that are inconsistent with or additional to those made or approved in writing by PSP.
6.6 The Buyer warrants that any structures to which the Goods are to be affixed are able to withstand the installation of the Goods and are of suitable capacity to handle the Goods once installed.

7. Product Specifications
7.1 The Buyer acknowledges that all descriptive specifications, illustrations, drawings, data, dimensions, ratings and weights stated in PSP’s or manufacturer’s fact sheets, price lists , advertising material or other material, are approximate only and are given by way of indication only. The Buyer shall not be entitled to rely on such information, and any use of such does not constitute a sale by description, and does not form part of the Agreement, unless expressly stated as such in writing by PSP.
7.2 Notwithstanding that PSP may have supplied plans, specifications, illustrations, drawings, data, dimensions, ratings, weights, guidelines, instructions, policies, procedures and directions in respect of the Goods, the Buyer recognises that PSP has no control over how the Goods are used by the Buyer, and the Buyer acknowledges and affirms that:
(a) It is solely responsible for making decisions about the use, suitability or attributes of the Goods; (b) It has made its own independent investigation, analysis and evaluation of the Goods, and affirms, that in making the decision to purchase and use the Goods, it has relied solely upon its independent evaluation and those of its representatives, including professional, technical and other advisers;
(c) It has had the opportunity to examine the Goods, seek independent advice in relation to them, to conduct a full evaluation in relation to the Goods and to obtain information in respect of those matters that it considers relevant, and that it has knowledge and experience in building construction, glazing, signage, display and other related matters and is therefore capable of evaluating the merits and potential uses of the Goods; and
(d) PSP shall not be liable in respect of any liabilities, costs, claims, loss, damages or demands (including negligence) which may be suffered by the Buyer whatsoever, whether suffered itself or as a result of claims against it by a third party or otherwise, arising from or related to the use of the Goods.

(a) the Buyer has paid PSP all amounts owing to PSP in full; and

If the Buyer sells, disposes or parts with possession of the Goods then the Buyer is doing so as PSP for and on behalf of PSP and must hold the proceeds of any such act on trust for PSP and must pay or deliver the proceeds to PSP on demand;
(d) The Buyer is selling, disposing or otherwise parting with possession of the Goods as an agent of PSP and shall not represent to any other Person that it is acting for PSP and PSP will not be bound by any contract with any other Person to which the Buyer is a party;
(e) the Buyer should not convert or process the Goods or intermix them with other goods but if the Buyer does so then the Buyer holds the resulting product on trust for the benefit of PSP and must sell, dispose of or return the resulting product to PSP as it so directs;
(f) the Buyer irrevocably authorises PSP, its agent and contractors without notice to enter any premises occupied by the Buyer where PSP believes the Goods are kept to recover possession of the Goods without in any way being liable to the Buyer or any Person claiming through the Buyer. If the Goods or any part of the Goods is wholly or partially attached to other goods PSP may, where practical, disconnect or sever in any way whatsoever as may be necessary to remove the Goods. PSP shall not be liable for any damage or loss to the premises or other property which may arise as a result of such entry and recovery of the Goods;
(g) PSP may recover possession of any Goods in transit whether or not the Goods have been delivered;
(h) PSP may sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Goods;
(i) the Buyer shall not charge or grant an encumbrance over the Goods nor grant or otherwise give away any interest in the Goods while they remain the property of PSP; and

(c) where clause 16.4 applies (PSP shall provide assistance as described in clause 16.4).
‍
13. Intellectual Property
13.1 The supply of Goods will not operate so as to transfer or vest in the Buyer any trade mark, patent, copyright or other Intellectual Property. All Intellectual Property rights in respect of the Goods provided by PSP remain PSP’s or the applicable manufacturer’s property and the Buyer may not use, reverse engineer, interfere with or alter the Intellectual Property in any way.

18.2 In order for PSP to process an Order and provide the Goods, it may collect certain Personal Information about the Buyer or the Guarantor (as applicable) (each an “Individual”).
18.3 The Individual irrevocably authorises:
(a) PSP to collect, retain and use such Personal Information as PSP may necessarily require for the purposes of:
(i) carrying out credit checks, (including any overdue fines balance information held by the Ministry of Justice) assessing the Buyer’s credit worthiness or responding to any credit enquiry about the Buyer;
(ii) processing, creating and otherwise administering an account, including any application;
(iii) supplying Goods to the Buyer;
(iv) dealing with requests, enquiries or complaints and other Buyer care related activities and all other general administrative and business purposes;
(v) marketing any products or services to the Buyer and carrying out market and product analysis and research;
(vi) enforcing PSP’s rights under the Agreement;
(vii) carrying out any activity in connection with any legal, governmental or regulatory requirements that PSP is subject to or in connection with legal proceedings, crime or fraud prevention, detection or prosecution; and
(viii) any other purpose as consented to by the Individual in writing from time to time (collectively, (i) –(viii) referred to as the “Purposes”).
(b) any Person to provide PSP such information as PSP may necessarily require about that Individual for the Purposes;
(c) PSP to disclose Personal information as necessarily required for the Purposes, or as otherwise authorised by that Individual, including to:
(i) third parties who provide products or services related to the Goods that PSP provides, such as dealers and agents;
(ii) credit reference agencies;
(iii) third parties to whom PSP may be required to disclose information by reason of legal, governmental or regulatory authority or where PSP believes in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect or enforce PSP’s rights or the rights, property or safety of others;
(iv) any other credit provider or any credit reporting agency for the purposes of providing or obtaining a credit reference, debt collection or notifying a default by the Buyer;

18.5 Under data protection law, the Individual has rights regarding the Individual’s Personal Information that PSP holds / collects. The rights available to the Individual depend on PSP’s reason for processing the Personal Information. These rights include:
(a) Right of access: the Individual has the right to ask PSP for copies of the Individual’s Personal Information. This right always applies.
(b) Right to rectification: the Individual has the right to ask PSP to update or rectify Personal Information the Individual thinks is inaccurate. The Individual also has the right to ask PSP to complete Personal Information that the Individual thinks is incomplete.
(c) Right to erasure: the Individual has the right to ask PSP to erase the Individual’s Personal Information in certain circumstances.
(d) Right to restriction of processing: the Individual has the right to ask PSP to restrict or cease the processing of the Individual’s Personal Information in certain circumstances.
(e) Right to data portability: the Individual has the right to ask that PSP transfer the Personal Information the Individual has given PSP from one organisation to another, or give it to the Individual. This right only applies if PSP is processing Personal Information based on the Individual’s consent, or under (or in talks about entering into) a contract and the processing is automated.
18.6 All requests should be sent to PSP at info@psp.co.nz. Alternatively, the Individual can write to PSP at 320 Rosedale Road, Albany, Auckland 0632, New Zealand.
18.7 PSP will maintain reasonable security safeguards to protect an Individual’s Personal Information and take reasonable steps to ensure that Individual’s Personal Information is not disclosed to an unauthorised person or entity.
18.8 The provision of the Goods do however require use of the internet, and the internet is not itself a secure environment. PSP therefore cannot give an absolute assurance or guarantee that the Individual’s Personal Information will be secure at all times. Transmission of information over the internet or third-party networks is at the Individual’s own risk. PSP will notify the Individual at the first reasonable opportunity if it discovers or is advised of a material security breach which has resulted in unauthorised access, disclosure or loss of the Individual’s Personal Information. 18.9 PSP will retain an Individual’s Personal Information for so long as is reasonably necessary to fulfil the Purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax or accounting requirements).

(b) As part of PSP’s usual business record-keeping practices;
(c) To fulfil the purpose(s) for which the Personal Information was originally collected;
(d) In accordance with PSP’s internal retention policies and practices; or
(e) For any other purpose(s) authorised by the Individual.
18.10 Once Personal Information is no longer required, the Personal Information will be deleted, securely destroyed or anonymized.
18.11 The Individual can always choose not to provide PSP with Personal Information, however this may mean that PSP is unable to supply the Goods effectively, or at all. PSP will process requests as soon as reasonably practicable, provided PSP is not otherwise prevented from doing so by law. If PSP is unable to comply with the request, it will give the Individual reasons for this decision when it responds.

19. Confidentiality
19.1 Each party agrees to treat all information and ideas communicated to it by the other confidentially (except for information lawfully in the public domain, disclosure to professional advisors, or information requests received from relevant authorities) and agree not to divulge it to any third party, without the other party’s written consent.
