Upon such notification the Client must allow the Fabricator to inspect the Goods.

(b) the Fabricator has agreed that the Goods are defective; and

(c) the Goods are returned within a reasonable time at the Client’s cost (if that cost is not significant); and

(d) the Goods are returned in as close a condition to that in which they were delivered as is possible.

1.9 Notwithstanding clauses 1.1 to 1.8 but subject to the CCA, the Fabricator shall not be liable for any defect or damage which may be caused or partly caused by or arise as a result of:

(a) the Client failing to properly maintain or store any Goods;

(b) the Client using the Goods for any purpose other than that for which they were designed;

(c) the Client continuing the use of any Goods after any defect became apparent or should have become apparent to a reasonably prudent operator or user;

(e) fair wear and tear, any accident, or act of God.

1.10 In the case of second hand Goods, unless the Client is a consumer under the CCA, the Client acknowledges that it has had full opportunity to inspect the second hand Goods prior to delivery and accepts them with all faults and that to the extent permitted by law no warranty is given by the Fabricator as to the quality or suitability for any purpose and any implied warranty, statutory or
otherwise, is expressly excluded.

The Client acknowledges and agrees that the Fabricator has agreed to provide the Client with the second hand Goods and calculated the
Price of the second hand Goods in reliance of this clause 1.10.

1.11 Notwithstanding anything contained in this clause if the Fabricator is required by a law to accept a return then the Fabricator will only accept a return on the conditions imposed by that law.
