1. PRICES

All such prices shown in the Order are fixed and include all necessary and ancillary items including but not limited to freight, cartage, insurance, inductions, site meetings, project management, printing and use or supply of pallets and containers unless otherwise shown in the Order. No increase in prices for the Goods and / or Services that are the subject of this Order shall be allowed unless prior approval in writing is obtained from Leda.

2. GOODS AND SERVICES TAX

Leda will not be obliged to pay any amount to the Supplier unless a tax invoice that complies with the GST Legislation has been issued in respect of that GST at the same time at which it receives the invoice to which that taxable supply relates. Each party agrees to do all things, including providing invoices or other documentation that may be necessary or desirable to:
1. Enable or assist the other party to claim input tax credits to the maximum extent possible; or
2. Itself claim all input tax credits that may be available to it in order to reduce the amount recoverable from the other party under the Contract.
If the total final amount of GST payable under this Order differs from the amount paid to the Supplier in respect of GST, whether because of an adjustment event as defined in the GST Legislation, an error in calculation or for any other reason, the Supplier shall return the difference to Leda or Leda shall pay an additional amount to the Supplier, as applicable, to ensure that the total final amount of GST payable to the Supplier under this Order is equal to the total GST liability in respect of this Order.
In this clause:
1. “GST” means the tax payable on Taxable Supplies under the GST Legislation;
2. “GST Legislation” means A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 or any related or replacement Act imposing such tax or legislation that is enacted to validate, recapture or recoup such tax; and
3. Terms defined in the GST Legislation have the meaning given to them in the GST Legislation.

3. TRANSFERRING OF TITLE

Where Leda has made progress payments to the Supplier for work completed and or materials procured by the Supplier to fulfil the Order, ownership in and title to all Works in Progress regardless of the level of completion or processing shall pass to Leda and the Supplier must clearly identify such Work in Progress as the property of Leda, however the risk remains with the Supplier until such Goods are delivered and Leda sign the delivery receipt.
