15.4 No failure by Electrix to exercise any powers in this Clause 15 shall prejudice any subsequent claim by Electrix against the Supplier, at any time, in respect of work which is not in accordance with the Agreement.

16 – Packing, Marking and Despatch
16.1 A delivery docket or packing list must accompany each delivery or consignment of the Goods and must be displayed prominently. Unless otherwise specified in the Purchase Order or notified by Electrix, the delivery docket or packing list shall contain, as a minimum, the Purchase Order Number, Electrix’s name and the Supplier’s name.
16.2 Where it differs from, the quantity stated on the delivery docket, Electrix’s count shall be deemed to be final, conclusive, and binding on the Supplier.
16.3 All Goods shall be clearly marked, in accordance with applicable industry standards, regulations and the requirements of the carrier or shipper, if any, including the weight of the Goods.
16.4 The Supplier shall ensure that all Goods are adequately lubricated, packed, protected and secured, in accordance with industry standards, to prevent loss, damage or deterioration during transit to the Delivery Point, loading and unloading and temporary storage at Electrix’s premises or elsewhere, at any time, prior to installation and commissioning.
16.5 Large items or boxes shall be suitably lugged, battened, or packed, so as to permit loading and unloading using cranes and slings. The gross weights and preferred lifting points shall be clearly and conspicuously marked on each package.
16.6 Palleted items shall be adequately secured for loading and uploading using fork hoists.
16.7 Smaller items shall be packed in containers suitable for ease of handling, identification, and storage.

17 – Variations
17.1 For the purposes of this Clause, “variation” shall mean any change to the Goods, including any change which:
a. Increases, decreases, or omits any part of the Goods;
b. Changes the character or quality of any of the Goods;
c. Changes the levels, lines, positions, or dimensions of any part of the Goods;
d. Changes the order in which work shall be carried out;

17.3 Only changes to the Goods which are the subject of written confirmation from Electrix, may be considered variations.
17.4 Where the Supplier receives a written Direction from Electrix, which is not stated to be a variation but which the Supplier believes to be a variation, the Supplier shall forthwith so advise Electrix, before complying with that Direction. Should the Supplier fail to so advise Electrix, such Direction may be deemed by Electrix to not constitute a variation.
17.5 Where work is omitted under a variation, Electrix may, without incurring any obligation of cost or other liability to the Supplier, perform this work itself, or have the work carried out by others.
17.6 No variation, whether of addition or omission, shall vitiate the Agreement.
17.7 The value of all variations shall be determined as follows:
a. The schedule of rates or other method upon which the original Price was based (including any bills of quantity) which are set out in this Agreement, shall be used to determine the valuation of the same or similar work, executed under similar conditions to the work which is the subject of the variation.
b. Where the work, which is the subject of the variation, is not of a similar nature or executed under similar conditions, the value of the variation shall be the reasonable cost of the work or where this cannot be agreed with Electrix, a fair valuation of the work made by Electrix.
c. No overhead or profit shall be paid for any part of the Goods which is decreased or omitted
d. Where Electrix considers no other valuation method applies, Electrix may direct that the work be done;
i. At day work rates or the prices prevailing when such work is carried out (in each case, to be reasonably determined by Electrix); or
ii. At the reasonable additional costs to the Supplier for the work concerned, plus a reasonable percentage for overheads and profit, which percentage shall be agreed with Electrix and if not agreed, shall be reasonably determined by Electrix.
e. Written records, including daily timesheets and proof of any plant, equipment, materials etc employed or purchased to carry out variations under Clause 17.7d, must be provided to Electrix, no later than one working day after the associated work was executed. The provision of these records shall be a condition precedent to payment for the variation.

18 – Delivery and Progress
18.1 The Supplier shall always perform its obligations under the Agreement with diligence and in a competent and timely manner.
18.2 The Supplier shall commence work under the Agreement promptly upon receipt of the Purchase Order and continue with the work until Completion.
18.3 The Goods shall be ready for handing over to Electrix at the Delivery Point on the Date for Delivery, according to the delivery terms specified in the Purchase Order or within the period stated in the Purchase Order, in either case during Electrix’s usual business hours, subject to any extension of the period granted in accordance with Clause 18.8.
18.4 Where the Date for Delivery is to be specified after the placing of the Purchase Order, the Supplier shall give Electrix reasonable notice of the specified date, which date shall be consistent with Electrix’s programme requirements, as these may have been advised to the Supplier.
18.5 Within 14 days of the date of the Purchase Order or within any other time reasonably specified by Electrix, and if so, required by Electrix, the Supplier shall submit to Electrix two copies of the production programme for the Goods (the “Programme”). The Programme shall list all activities including, where applicable, engineering, procurement, manufacture, assembly, testing, preparation for shipment, delivery, installation, and commissioning, together with any other required activities, showing planned durations for each activity and their interrelationships. Significant milestones, including those upon which any agreed progress payments may be contingent, must be indicated on the Programme, together with the planned dates for the milestones.
18.6 At 14-day intervals after the date specified in 18.5, or as may be reasonably required by Electrix, the Supplier shall resubmit the Programme with actual progress clearly shown against each activity. The Programme shall be accompanied by a brief written report, detailing any deviations from planned activities, together with the remedial steps being taken by Supplier to ensure the Date for Delivery will be maintained.
18.7 Where Electrix so directs, a brief weekly report on production status and delivery forecast is required to be provided to Electrix.
18.8 The Date for Delivery may be extended by such time as may, in all the circumstances, be fair and reasonable, if work on the Goods is delayed in the following events:
a. Any wrongful or negligent act of default, or delay, or breach of this Agreement, by Electrix, its servant or agents;
b. Suspension of performance of the Agreement by Electrix pursuant to Clause 25; or
c. A force majeure in accordance with Clause 27.
and the Date for Delivery is unable to be achieved as a result.
18.9 As a condition precedent to such extension of the Date for Delivery, the Supplier shall as soon as such delay becomes apparent, forthwith give written notice of the cause and likely duration of delay to Electrix and provided also that the Supplier shall constantly use its best endeavors to prevent delay and shall do all that may reasonably be required by Electrix to proceed with the Goods. In the absence of such notice from the Supplier, Electrix may, at its sole discretion and in its own interests, grant such extensions of time as it may consider fair and reasonable.
18.10 If the Goods are to be delivered in installments, the Agreement will be treated as a single Agreement and not severable.
18.11 The Supplier shall supply Electrix, in good time, with information required to enable Electrix to accept delivery of the Goods and performance of any work on the Site.
18.12 Electrix may, at any time, by written notice, which is expressly identified as an acceleration Direction, direct the Supplier to accelerate the execution of the work. Unless the acceleration is necessitated by the failure of the Supplier to proceed with the work with diligence and a competent and timely manner or the Supplier otherwise causes progress of the work to be delayed (in which case the cost of such acceleration shall be to the Supplier’s account), Electrix shall pay the Supplier its direct reasonable costs (if any), directly attributable to the acceleration.
18.13 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, and as a fundamental condition hereof, at any time, and whether or not Electrix has terminated the Agreement, Electrix may, in writing, direct the Supplier to immediately release, and make available to Electrix, any of the Goods (whether completed or not), and do all things necessary to enable Electrix to remove such Goods from the Supplier’s (and Sub-supplier’s) places of work. The Supplier hereby grants to Electrix an irrevocable licence to enter upon the property of the Supplier to give effect to this provision and shall do all that is necessary to retrieve any Goods from its Sub-suppliers. The Supplier shall promptly thereafter, submit to Electrix a claim for payment in respect only to the Goods removed by Electrix, which claim shall be regarded as a claim made under Clause 7.1, and which shall be valued as though only that part of the work had been terminated pursuant to Clause 26. Property in the Goods shall be deemed to reside in Electrix upon the Direction being given to the Supplier to release the Goods. Any Goods not included in Electrix’s Direction, shall continue to be subject to the Agreement. Any failure of the Supplier to comply with this Clause 18.13 shall be a fundamental breach of the Agreement, and in the event that Electrix makes application to a court to enforce its rights under this Clause 18.13, this Clause 18.13 is agreed by the Supplier to constitute a complete bar and defence to any application, defence or counter claim that the Supplier may raise at such, or related, proceedings in challenge of such rights of Electrix. This Clause 18.13 shall survive the termination of the Agreement.

19 – Acceptance of Work
19.1 Electrix shall be entitled to reject any Goods delivered which are not in accordance with the Agreement and shall not be deemed to have accepted any Goods until Electrix has had a reasonable time to inspect them, following delivery or, if later, within a reasonable time after any latent defect in the Goods has become apparent.

a. To require the Supplier to repair or replace the Defective Goods within seven (7) days; or
b. At Electrix’s sole option and whether or not Electrix has previously required the Supplier to repair or replace the Defective Goods:

ii. Where the Supplier fails to repair or replace the Defective Goods, as required by Clause 20.3a, to treat the Agreement as repudiated by the Supplier and to either accept such repudiation or to treat the repudiation as a breach under Clause 26.
20.4 The Supplier shall be liable for all damages loss, costs and expense incurred or suffered by Electrix, and shall indemnify Electrix against all liabilities, damages, costs and other compensation awarded against or paid by Electrix, in connection with any third party claims arising out of or as a result of or in connection with breach of any warranty given by the Supplier in relation to the Goods or any non-compliance with the Agreement, and all legal or other expenses incurred by Electrix, in or about the defence or settlement of any such claims.
20.5 Repairs and replacements shall themselves be subject to the same warranties as contained in Clauses 20.1 and 20.2.
20.6 All express warranties of the Supplier set forth in the Agreement, are additional to any warranties or conditions implied by statute or common law.
20.7 It is expressly agreed by the Supplier, that the warranties given to Electrix by this Clause 20, together with any further warranties that may be provided to Electrix by the Supplier, shall simultaneously be for the benefit of the Client, who may call upon the Supplier to honour such warranties, whether or not this Agreement has been assigned or novated to the Client pursuant to Clause 28.

25.5 The Date for Delivery may not be extended if the suspension was due to any act or omission of the Supplier, its servants or agents or Sub-suppliers.

26.2 In the case of a breach referred to in Clause 26.1b , other than a breach in respect to on-Site safety, in which case Electrix may terminate the Agreement without notice, Electrix shall not be entitled to terminate the Agreement, unless it has served on the Supplier a notice advising of the breach and allowing the Supplier not less than seven (7) days in which to remedy the breach or otherwise show good cause why Electrix should not terminate the Agreement, and the Supplier fails to do so.
26.3 Upon termination for breach, the Supplier shall be liable for all damages, loss, costs and expense which may be suffered or incurred by Electrix arising out of such termination and shall indemnify Electrix against all liabilities, damages, costs and other compensation awarded against or paid by Electrix in connection with any third party claims and all legal expenses and costs incurred by Electrix in the defence or settlement of any such claims, arising out of, or as a result of, or in connection with, such termination.

27.3 If the force majeure in question prevails for a continuous period in excess of one month, the parties shall enter into bona fide discussions with a view to alleviating the force majeure’s effects or to agreeing upon such alternative arrangements as may be fair and reasonable, provided that either party may terminate the Agreement (insofar as it is affected by the force majeure) if no such alleviation or alternative can be agreed.

28 – Assignment or Subletting
28.1 The Supplier shall not assign or sub-let the performance of the Agreement (or any part thereof) without the prior written consent of Electrix. The Supplier shall, at all times, be responsible to Electrix, for the acts or omissions of any assignee or Sub-supplier. When requested, an unpriced copy of the Supplier’s contracts with an approved Sub-supplier shall be furnished to Electrix, promptly after receipt of Electrix’s consent.
28.2 The Supplier accepts that Electrix may be entering into the Agreement for and on behalf of the Client (whether or not made known to the Supplier). Electrix may freely assign or novate all its rights and obligations under the Agreement to any such Client. The Supplier hereby irrevocably consents to any such assignment or novation in the form required by such Client and to the release of Electrix upon any such assignment or novation, of all further obligations under the Agreement and agrees to execute any instrument or other document to give effect to any such assignment or novation and release.
28.3 Electrix may, upon written notice to the Supplier and without its consent, assign all or any part of its rights and benefits hereunder or transfer all or any part of its obligations hereunder to a related corporation, who upon receiving such an assignment or transfer will thereafter be liable solely for the performance of the obligations hereunder.

29 – Lien
29.1 The Supplier hereby waives any and all rights of lien against any of the Goods or any work of which the Goods form part or the Site (or part thereof) to the fullest extent consistent with the law.

The mediator shall review the matter with the parties and endeavour to resolve it by their agreement. All discussions in meditation shall be without prejudice and may not be referred to in any later proceedings. Each party shall bear their own costs for the mediation and shall equally share the costs of the mediation. The parties may, at any point, agree to ask that the mediator resolve the dispute. In this case, the mediator’s decision shall be binding on both parties unless, within fourteen (14) days, either party notifies the other, in writing, that it rejects the mediator’s determination.
d. If the dispute remains unresolved after the provisions of Clauses 31.1a to 31.1c have been followed or neither party requests or consents to mediation in accordance with Clause 31.1c, then either party may refer the dispute to arbitration, by giving written notice to the other party, within fourteen (14) days.

31.3 Notwithstanding the existence of a claim or dispute, the parties must continue to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.
31.4 Where, in Electrix’s opinion, the Dispute requires Electrix to initiate a claim against or a dispute with the Client and Electrix intends to pursue that claim or dispute, through arbitration or otherwise, Electrix shall give notice to the Supplier of its intention to pursue the matter.
