  ORDERS: Supply of Orders

 

Goods ordered will be supplied subject to availability. 

 

Novella Distribution:

(a) will not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from a failure to supply; and

(b) reserves the right to reduce the size of an order where goods are out of stock, in short supply or otherwise not available.

 

Back Orders

Goods which are out of stock but which are expected to be available at a future date will be recorded for later supply unless the Customer otherwise instructs Novella Distribution in writing. Unfulfilled back orders will be cancelled automatically 6 months from date of order.    

 

Delivery

Novella Distribution will ship wholesale orders when the invoice value of available stock exceeds $165 inc GST. For all shipments over $165, no freight or small order charges will be applied. Orders under that value will be held unless the customer authorises a small order surcharge of $12.95.  Unfulfilled orders will be automatically cancelled 6 months from date of order. 

 

Damages or Short Supply

All damages in supplied stock or short supply need to be reported within 5 days of delivery and a credit adjustment will be made. No liability is accepted by Novella Distribution for stock claimed after 5 days.

 

INVOICES

Currency All Australian accounts must be paid in Australian dollars.

Discount Titles will be invoiced at the agreed percentage discount between Novella Distribution and the retailer. Discounts may vary depending on the Product being purchased and discounts are subject to change.

Payment is to be made on invoice. Credit terms are Strictly 30 Days Net unless otherwise specified in writing by Novella Distribution.

 

TITLE All products supplied by Novella Distribution possess a reservation of title. Ownership of all goods supplied by Novella Distribution does not pass to the recipient until paid for in full. Until full payment is received it is the responsibility of the recipient to keep the goods insured and in mint condition. If the goods pass to a third party the title to the goods will still not pass to that third party until the initial invoice is paid.

 

INFORMATION FOR YOU  For ordering or for title enquiry, please supply both the TITLE & ISBN.
