PRICES
The prices of goods and services set out in the MMS price list are current as at the date of issue. Whilst MMS will try to maintain the prices specified in the catalogue, MMS reserves the right to change the price of any good or service at any time. MMS will, however, confirm the prices for any good or service ordered by the customer prior to MMS’ acceptance of the relevant order.

Prices for the supply of goods and services exclude sales tax, consumption of goods and services tax, and any other taxes imposed on or in relation to the goods. Prices for the supply of goods and services exclude the cost of freight, insurance or other charges (including document legalisation fees and letter of credit processing fees (for customers outside Australia) arising from the point of dispatch of the goods to the customer to the point of delivery.

GST will be levied at the statutory rate on all goods and services provided by MMS and shown separately on the invoice (Australian customers only). International customers are not charged GST, providing an international address has been provided to MMS and the goods are exported within 60 days of the sale.

 

ORDERING
Any written quotation provided by MMS to the customer concerning the proposed supply of goods is valid for 30 days from the date specified on the quote, unless otherwise stated in the quotation, and is an invitation-only to the customer to place an order based upon that quotation. The quotation may include additional terms, which are inconsistent with these conditions of sale.

MMS reserves the right to decline to trade with any company or person without reason. In addition, MMS may decline to accept any order, whether or not payment has been received, by giving notice of non-acceptance to the customer by fax, email or telephone conversation. If MMS declines to accept an order where payment has been received, MMS will refund the payment.

MMS executes orders to the customer’s requirements, and will not substitute an ordered product for another product unless the customer has so requested or the ordered product has been superseded. This will be confirmed in writing. Written confirmation of all orders is required to be sent to MMS, by either fax to 02 9692 7965 or email to [email protected].

Online (website) orders placed may be cancelled and refunded if MMS is unable to supply the goods within a reasonable time frame.

At that point, a full refund will be issued to the customer.

Same-Day Deliveries are available for Sydney, Central Coast, Newcastle, Wollongong, Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane metropolitan areas only.

Any cancellation (or part cancellation) of an order will only be accepted on MMS' written consent and the Customer must indemnify MMS in respect of any expense incurred by MMS relating to the cancellation of any order. In the event of part cancellation of orders based on bulk Quantity pricing, MMS may invoice the Customer for the difference between the price for the bulk Quantity and the standard pricing if the cancellation results in the order being classified as a 'non-bulk' order.

Due to erratic pricing on freight due to varying package size, customer location, remote or courier accessibility issues, rising fuel costs and other global issues, pandemic, war etc, our freight prices quoted on our online store may not reflect the current freight cost and availability.

When an order is placed online, we will send an order receipt first while the order is processed, followed by an official order confirmation/acceptance within 24 hours if there are no significant issues with stock or freight. We will attempt to verify this before an order is completely confirmed for the customer, while the order is in the processing stage. MMS reserves the right to cancel an order after it has been placed via our online store if the freight cost exceeds the quoted amount by more than 10% and the customer does not agree to pay the difference in freight charges. If a refund needs to be issued, it will be processed promptly to avoid further delays.
