considered appropriate by PTH Industries in its discretion acting reasonably.
6. DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS – Any descriptive and shipping specifications, drawings and particulars of
weights and dimensions submitted with PTH Industries’s quotation are approximate only, and the descriptions and
illustrations contained in PTH Industries’s catalogues, and other advertisement materials are intended merely to present
a general idea of the goods described therein, and none of these shall form part of the Contract unless so specified in writing by PTH Industries. After acceptance of the Purchaser’s order, PTH Industries on the Purchaser’s request shall
provide to the Purchaser such certified drawings as PTH Industries may consider appropriate in connection with the
relevant goods or services. Any drawings requiring the Purchaser’s approval before manufacturing commences shall
be returned to PTH Industries within fourteen (14) days of submission to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall signify
in writing its approval or otherwise of the relevant drawings.
7. (a) INSPECTION AND PERFORMANCE TESTS – PTH Industries’ products are inspected and where appropriate
subjected to PTH Industries’ standard test at PTH Industries’ works before despatch. Any tests which are agreed to by
PTH Industries other than PTH Industries’ standard tests or those specified in the Contract shall be charged to the
Purchaser. In the event of delay on the Purchaser’s part in attending a test which PTH Industries has agreed to perform
in the presence of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s representative, after seven (7) days notice that PTH Industries is
ready, the test will proceed in the Purchaser's absence and shall be deemed to have been made in the Purchaser’s
presence.
Whether or not any tests show that any particular goods comply with any specifications set out in the Contract shall be
decided by PTH Industries in its absolute discretion. If in PTH Industries’ opinion any particular goods do not meet
specification, PTH Industries within a reasonable time after completion of the relevant tests may alter the relevant goods
such that they meet specification. Notwithstanding anything else in the Contract, PTH Industries does not warrant or
represent that as the result of any testing it will or will not be able to identify any latent faults or defects in any goods
supplied by PTH Industries. Except as specified in clause 11(a) and to the extent permitted by law, PTH Industries
excludes all responsibility and liability for any loss, damage, injury, expense, cost, claim, outgoing or other liability

(b) PURCHASER SUPPLIED GOODS - Any goods supplied by the Purchaser or by a third party at the direction of the
Purchaser which are to be used or applied in connection with goods supplied by PTH Industries (“Purchaser Supplied
Goods”) are the sole responsibility of the Purchaser. PTH Industries shall not be responsible or liable for the quality or
suitability of any Purchaser Supplied Goods, any failure of Purchaser Supplied Goods, any failure of Purchaser Supplied
Goods to operate properly in connection with goods supplied by PTH Industries, any failure of goods supplied by PTH

8. DESPATCH – Risk shall pass as specified in the Contract. If no other terms regarding delivery or passing of risk are specified, delivery shall be deemed to occur and risk shall pass Ex-works. After risk has passed, any transport or off-
loading conducted by PTH Industries shall be as the Purchaser’s agent and PTH Industries shall not be liable for any cost, loss, or damage suffered thereby and the Purchaser shall indemnify PTH Industries with respect to any costs, loss,
or damage incurred by PTH Industries thereby. Any times specified in the Contract for despatch or delivery are to be
counted from the date of the Contract. The time for despatch or delivery shall be extended by a period considered
appropriate by PTH Industries if delay in despatch or delivery, in PTH Industries’ opinion, is caused by lack of instruction
from the Purchaser or by any industrial dispute or other cause beyond PTH Industries’ control. If PTH Industries does
not receive forwarding instructions sufficient to enable PTH Industries to despatch by the agreed delivery date and within
fourteen (14) days after notification that the goods have been tested and are ready for despatch, the Purchaser shall be
deemed to have taken delivery of the goods and payment shall be due as though the goods had been delivered on the
date of notification. If the Purchaser fails to accept delivery within the aforementioned time, storage will be arranged by
PTH Industries and all charges for storage, insurance, demurrage and other appropriate contingent charges shall be
payable by the Purchaser.

PTH Industries that the goods are ready for despatch or, in the case of services, when the services have been
performed. Where a credit account has been approved by PTH Industries in its absolute discretion, accounts are payable
30 days from the date of the invoice unless specified otherwise in the Contract. PTH Industries shall retain title to any
goods supplied until PTH Industries has received full payment for them.
