Terms of Assembly and Distribution
These terms should be read in conjunction with our Standard T&Cs of Supply
1. Deliveries
1.1 SULO can organise labour and vehicles to assemble and distribute MGB’s on behalf of the client.
1.2 Assembly and distribution is a blanket program based upon a minimum of 600 MGB’s delivered per day, five days per week. SULO may choose to distribute less MGB’s per day at its discretion, however any additional costs incurred through interruption of distribution due to factors not agreed by SULO in advance will be charged to the client at cost. If the client requires a higher rate of delivery, the charge per MGB will increase to accommodate additional costs of such program.
1.3 The standard distribution price is based upon distribution being carried out on a continuous basis for each agreed area and for the agreed quantity of MGB’s ordered from SULO. MGB delivery will be to the letterbox of the residential property as per client provided database.
1.4 If there are any additional MGB’s to be delivered which do not appear on the client provided database prior to the commencement of the distribution program, this instruction must be provided to SULO seven working days prior to the commencement of the distribution program. SULO reserves the right to determine the cut off point for any further changes to the database information subsequent to the commencement of distribution.
2. Ancillaries
2.1 All stickers, labels, brochures, information packs or any material required to be fixed to any MGB must conform to a specification determined by SULO. Delivery of all SULO approved ancillaries must be to SULO’s depot seven days prior to the manufacturing or distribution start date, as appropriate. SULO will include one pamphlet with each bin delivered, left under the bin lid.
2.2 The client must provide SULO with 2 x legible poster size maps (cadastral etc) of the delivery areas, sectioned to match delivery requirements with defined borders i.e. service day or week. These maps must be provided to SULO thirty days prior to the commencement of the distribution program.
2.3 The client is responsible for ensuring that they provide SULO with sufficient quantities of ancillary materials (i.e. stickers, brochures etc) to complete the MGB distribution program, including a 10% excess on the total quantity for rejects and additional services found. The client will be responsible for all remaining ancillary materials at the completion of the distribution program.
2.4 If the client requires design, manufacture and delivery of ancillaries by SULO, a fee will be charged for this service.
3. Depot
3.1 All waste generated from ancillaries, containers, label backing paper, rejects, MGB component shipment containers and other waste must be removed from any depots at the clients cost on a weekly basis during the distribution program.
3.2 SULO reserves the right to operate from a depot that it deems fit for operation by SULO and its staff, which may be outside the shire area in which the distribution program is to occur.
3.3 It is the responsibility of the customer to provide a suitable depot to SULO at no charge for the purposes of Assembly and Distribution. The depot must be secure, have undercover storage and all outside areas must be sealed. The size of the depot must be a minimum of 50m x 50m and adequately configured to allow the turn around of semi trailers.
4. Query Category and Charges
4.1 Should SULO revisit a property which has had a MGB delivered to it, this revisit will be charged at an additional cost of 2.25 times the standard distribution rate.
4.2 Should an MGB be required at a property not listed on the client provided database, this revisit will be charged at an additional cost of 2.25 times the standard distribution rate.
4.3 Should a collection / pick up of a MGB, delivered by SULO, be required at a property, this collection will be charged at an additional cost of 2.25 times the standard distribution rate.
4.4 The accuracy and completion of all information details supplied on each query are the responsibility of the client. Errors or omissions are the responsibility of the client. All costs incurred due to a revisit being necessary to a property are to the client’s account.
4.5 Each revisit to a property, regardless of completion of the activity, will be charged at an additional cost of 2.25 times the standard distribution rate.
4.6 The client is responsible for verifying each query against the database provided to SULO prior to any queries being communicated to SULO for completion. The client must also provide SULO with one contact person with whom all queries may be discussed in detail during the distribution program.
5. Database
5.1 SULO will not be held responsible for any incorrect data that is supplied by the client or the client’s representatives. Should any action be required to rectify an incorrect delivery or collection instruction, an additional charge to the client will apply.
5.2 Delivery database format must be as per the required format stipulated by SULO and provided seven days prior to the commencement of the distribution program. If SULO are required to format delivery sheets, a correct database must be received by SULO fourteen days prior to the commencement of the distribution. Should the database not be in a format acceptable for SULO to work with there may be a price change based upon the volume of variations.
5.3 The client must ensure that the quantity of MGB’s that are ordered from SULO is sufficient to cover all deliveries, based upon the client provided database. Any anticipated deliveries of MGB’s required to cater for stolen MGB’s, new services, additional services or other extra deliveries are the responsibility of the client. Additional bins, which are required for the completion of the distribution, which are not the subject of the original order from the client, may be subject to a price change based upon volume variation.
5.4 The completed database will be delivered to the client following verification and checking by SULO within approximately fourteen calendar days of the completion of the distribution program (including any additional queries). The client, prior to receipt of the database, must pay all invoices in full.
