    1.1 These Conditions apply to each order that Associated Projects ABN 68 010 541 367 (we) accept from a customer (you) for the supply of products or services. These Conditions do not apply if you are a reseller or you purchase products and services for which there are separate terms and conditions specific to those products and services. Contact your customer service representative for the relevant terms.
    1.2 Your acceptance of products and services from us means that you accept these Conditions. No variation by you of these Conditions will be valid unless our authorised representative gives you written confirmation that that a variation is accepted.
    1.3 We may make changes to these Conditions from time to time to accommodate changes in law, business practice or the introduction of new products or services. If we do, we will notify you in writing at least 30 days before those changes take effect. Your acceptance of further products and services and/or payment of further instalments due after the date we notify you of a change is deemed acceptance of those changes. If you do not want to accept the changes, you are entitled to terminate any ongoing subscription affected by written notice to us before the changes take effect.

    (a) a reference to writing includes any method of representing words, figures or symbols in a permanent and visible form including online or in an electronic communication;

    2.2 Where we make individual deliveries of products or deliveries in instalments, you may be invoiced separately for each delivery in which case, you agree to pay each invoice according to its terms.  
    2.3 All Credit Card payments are subject to a surcharge. We reserve the right to make changes to this surcharge from time to time or to extend the surcharge to other methods of payment. If we do make any changes, we will give you reasonable notice in writing before the changes take effect.
    2.4 We may make available or send documents and information to you, including invoices, by means of an electronic communication. You acknowledge that we are not liable in respect of:
    (a) any error, omission or loss of confidentiality arising from an electronic communication;

    3.5 Products cannot be delivered to PO Boxes or Postal codes.

Until then, you acknowledge that we remain the equitable and legal owner and that you are in possession of those products only as our bailee until you have completed payment. For the avoidance of doubt, your entitlement in relation to any service is limited to a licence only for the subscription period. Ownership is reserved to us.
    4.3 You are liable to pay in full the price of any products delivered to you. If you fail to pay for products by the due date for payment, we will be entitled, upon reasonable notice, to retake possession of the products, resell them and keep the proceeds of the sale.
