Standard Terms and Conditions

Standard Conditions for the Supply of Goods and/or Services
Hickinbotham Group of Companies

These Standard Conditions apply to all supplies of Goods and/or Services by the Contractor to any entity within the Hickinbotham Group of Companies (Hickinbotham) unless specifically excluded or varied by Hickinbotham in writing. These Standard Conditions operate to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions proposed or notified by the Contractor, irrespective of whether the Contractor terms and conditions were proposed or notified prior to or after the relevant Goods and/or Services were supplied.

1. Authority and acceptance: Hickinbotham will not be bound by any Order unless it is issued by or on behalf of Hickinbotham. The supply of the Goods and/or Services by the Contractor constitutes acceptance by the Contractor of the Order and these Standard Conditions. If the Contractor supplies Goods and/or Services to Hickinbotham, it is agreeing to do so in accordance with and subject to the Order and these Standard Conditions.

2. Supply of Goods and Services: The Contractor must ensure that:
2.1 all Goods are new, of merchantable quality, made of good materials and workmanship, and are free from defects;
2.2 all Goods are fit for the purpose for which goods of the same kind are commonly supplied and any purpose which
Hickinbotham makes known to the Contractor, and are accompanied by any necessary instructions, technical
documents, operating and service manuals and applicable warranties;
2.3 it performs the Services in a timely manner with all necessary skill, care and diligence to the reasonable satisfaction
of Hickinbotham;
2.4 it performs its obligations in accordance with this Agreement and all reasonable directions of Hickinbotham, all
applicable laws, rules, regulations and industry and safety standards, and all policies and procedures of Hickinbotham
from time to time, including but not limited to safety and completing and filing a Job Safety Analysis for each site, health and environment policies and any site specific policies and procedures;
2.5 all necessary permits and approvals are obtained to undertake all duties and obligations under this Agreement;
2.6 it provides all necessary equipment, materials and labour that may be required to supply the Goods and/or Services.
2.7 the Goods are delivered in the quantity, at the time and to the site or delivery point specified by Hickinbotham in the
Order or in accordance with any instructions notified by Hickinbotham. The Contractor must ensure that the Goods
are protected against all damage and deterioration during transportation.

3. Title and Risk: Subject to clause 7 of these Standard Conditions, title to and risk in the Goods passes to Hickinbotham when Hickinbotham has taken delivery of the Goods at the site or delivery point specified or notified by Hickinbotham.

4. The Contractor's Personnel: The Contractor must ensure that:
4.1 the Contractor's personnel engaged in the supply of the Goods and/or Services are competent and professional with appropriate qualifications and experience and perform their duties with care, skill and diligence. If Hickinbotham gives notice to the Contractor that a member of the Contractor's personnel is unacceptable to Hickinbotham in its sole discretion, the Contractor must take immediate steps to remove the person and provide an alternative person acceptable to Hickinbotham;
4.2 the Contractor must ensure that it is registered as an employer under the Workers Rehabilitation and Compensation Act, 1986 ('Act') if it employs persons to work for it. If the Contractor is not registered as an employer under the Act or ceases to be registered under the Act, then Hickinbotham may terminate the contract for the supply of goods and/or services by the Contractor immediately. If the Contractor does not employ persons to work for it, and operates it business as a Sole Trader, then the Contractor must supply materials for the work it is contracted to undertake for Hickinbotham that exceeds 4% of the total amount payable by Hickinbotham under the contract.

5. Contractor's Equipment: The Contractor must ensure that all equipment used in providing the services is fit for the purpose for which it is intended and complies with all relevant laws and Australian industry and safety standards.

6. Reporting: The Contractor must keep accurate records relating to the provision of the Goods and/or Services and it must make such records available for inspection by Hickinbotham upon the reasonable request of Hickinbotham.

7. Inspection and acceptance of Goods: Hickinbotham will not be deemed to have accepted the Goods until it has had a reasonable time to inspect the Goods. If, on inspection, Hickinbotham finds that any Goods are defective in design, performance or workmanship or because they do not meet Hickinbotham's specifications, Hickinbotham may reject those Goods by returning them to the Contractor at the Contractor's cost. At Hickinbotham's option and request, the Contractor must refund to Hickinbotham any payments made by Hickinbotham in respect of any defective Goods that Hickinbotham rejects, or replace free of charge any defective Goods that Hickinbotham rejects.

8. Invoicing and Payment: Hickinbotham will pay the Contractor for the supply of the Goods and/or Services within 30 days of the end of the month in which Hickinbotham receives a tax invoice for the Goods and/or Services, subject to the satisfactory performance of the Contractor's obligations under the Order and these Standard Conditions and acceptance of the Goods and/or Services by Hickinbotham. The Contractor must not invoice Goods and/or Services until they have been supplied to Hickinbotham. The price payable for the Goods and/or Services will be the price notified by Hickinbotham and includes all costs, taxes and duties (including GST) and expenses incurred by the Contractor in complying with all its obligations under these Standard Conditions. The price will not vary except with the prior approval of Hickinbotham. Acceptance of Goods and/or Services by Hickinbotham after the Contractor has notified a proposed price variation is not of itself acceptance or approval by Hickinbotham of the price variation. Where the work comprising the Services that are the subject of a particular tax invoice issued to Hickinbotham has been performed soley by a single natural person, then that tax invoice must include a written declaration by the Contractor to that affect. Where two or more persons have been involved in performing the work on behalf of the Contractor (including, where the Contractor is a sole trader, the Contractor and at least one other person), then no such declaration is required.

9. Sub-contracting: The Contractor must not sub-contract any part of the supply of Goods and/or Services without Hickinbotham's consent.

10. Confidentiality: The Contractor must not, and must ensure that its employees, agents and sub-contractors do not, without the prior written approval of Hickinbotham, at any time use, disclose or give to any person any Confidential Information. This clause does not apply to Confidential Information that the Contractor proves is in the public domain other than as a result of a breach of this clause or is required to be disclosed by any applicable law or the listing rules of any applicable stock exchange.

11. Intellectual Property: The Contractor assigns to Hickinbotham all Intellectual Property Rights that may be created in the course of or in connection with the provision of the Services, effective immediately on the creation of any such Intellectual Property Rights. The Contractor must do all things necessary to ensure that Hickinbotham obtains all Intellectual Property Rights referred to in this clause including, where necessary, obtaining an assignment of rights from any personnel of the Contractor. The Contractor agrees that in the course of or in connection with providing the Services, it will not do any act or thing which may infringe any Intellectual Property Rights of Hickinbotham, its Related Bodies Corporate or any third party.

12. Insurance: The Contractor must, before commencing supply of the Goods and/or Services, effect and maintain all insurances which would ordinarily be maintained by a prudent supplier of the Goods and/or Services and must note thereon the interest of Hickinbotham:

13. Indemnity: Without limiting Hickinbotham's other rights and remedies, the Contractor indemnifies and will keep indemnified Hickinbotham, its agents, sub-contractors and Related Bodies Corporate and any employees of any of them from and against any loss, damage, expense (including lawyer's fees and expenses on an indemnity basis) claim, demand or liability made or incurred as a result of or in connection with:
13.1 the negligent act or omission of the Contractor or its employees, agents or sub-contractors;
13.2 personal injury, death or property loss or damage suffered by any person arising out of or in connection with the
Goods or Services provided by the Contractor; and
13.3 any infringement or alleged infringement of Intellectual Property Rights arising out of Hickinbotham's use of the
Goods and/or Services.

14. Termination: Hickinbotham may terminate an Order at any time by written notice to the Contractor. Upon such termination, the Contractor will no longer be required to supply, and Hickinbotham will no longer be required to receive and pay for, the Goods and/or Services the subject of the Order.

15. Notices: Any notice, approval, consent or other communication must be in writing and sent by pre-paid post, facsimile or email to the address, facsimile number or email address notified in writing by the party to whom the notice is addressed.

16. General:
16.1 Set off: Hickinbotham may deduct from any amounts due to the Contractor any amounts due from the Contractor
to Hickinbotham.
16.2 Governing law: The governing law of these Standard Conditions is the law of South Australia and the parties
submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of that state.
16.3 Variation: A variation of any term of these Standard Conditions must be in writing and signed by the parties.
16.4 Severance: Any provision of, or the application of any provision of these Standard Conditions which is void, illegal
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction does not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of that provision in any other
jurisdiction or of the remaining provisions in that or any other jurisdiction.
16.5 Entire agreement: These Standard Conditions and the Order constitute the entire agreement between the parties
for the Goods and/or Services and supersedes all previous agreements, proposals, representations, correspondence and
