(a) charge the Customer interest at the annual rate of 3% above the Reserve Bank of Australia’s Cash Rate, calculated daily and compounded weekly from the due date until the date of payment in full;

(a) all Equipment and any proceeds previously supplied by HEATCOOL to the Customer; and
(b) all Equipment and any proceeds that will be supplied in the future by HEATCOOL to the Customer.
12.3 This security interest secures all moneys owing by the Customer to HEATCOOL under these Terms or otherwise.
12.4 The Customer acknowledges and agrees the security interest is a continuing and subsisting interest in the Equipment with priority over any registered or unregistered general (or other) security interest and any unsecured creditor.
12.5 The Customer acknowledges that the security interest over Equipment or their proceeds arising under these Terms as and where applicable will be a purchase money security interest (PMSI) and deemed to be inventory to the extent that it secures payment of amounts owing in relation to the Equipment.

12.9 HEATCOOL does not need to give the Customer any notice under the PPSA (including notice of the financing statement or verification statement) unless required by the PPSA.
12.10 Any time the Customer makes a payment to HEATCOOL, irrespective of whether the payment is made under or in connection with this Agreement, HEATCOOL may apply that payment:
(a) first to satisfy an obligation that is not secured;
(b) second, to satisfy an obligation that is secured, but not by a PMSI;
(c) third, to satisfy an obligation that is secured by a PMSI for that obligation and using proceeds from the sale of the collateral subject to that PMSI;

(e) despite the foregoing, any manner HEATCOOL as the secured party sees fit.
12.11 For the avoidance of doubt and without prejudice to HEATCOOL’s rights under the PPSA, the Customer:
(a) may process the Equipment supplied by HEATCOOL to the Customer and accession or commingle them with other property in which case HEATCOOL will have a security interest in any processed, accession and commingled Equipment;
(b) may sell the Equipment to its Customers and if it does so, then HEATCOOL will have a security interest in the proceeds of sale; and
(c) will, where and when applicable and instructed by HEATCOOL, implement, maintain and comply in all material respects with, procedures for the perfection of security interests,including taking all steps under the PPSA to perfect continuously any such security interest.

12.13 The Customer agrees not to disclose to an ‘Interested person’ (as defined in section 275(9) of the PPSA) or any other person, any Information of the kind described in section 275(1) of the PPSA including these Terms as the Security Agreement between the Customer and HEATCOOL.
12.14 The Customer agrees to keep and maintain all Equipment free of any charge, lien, or security interest except as created under these Terms and not otherwise to deal with Equipment in a way that will, or may, prejudice the rights of HEATCOOL under these Terms or the PPSA.
12.15 The Customer irrevocably grants to HEATCOOL the right to enter any premises or property of the Customer without notice, and without being in any way liable to the Customer or any other person, if HEATCOOL has cause to exercise any of its rights under the PPSA, and in particular under section 123, and the Customer agrees to indemnify HEATCOOL against any such liability whatsoever.
12.16 The Customer’s right to possession of Equipment still owned by HEATCOOL under these Terms will cease if:
(a) the Customer being an individual, commits an act of bankruptcy;
(b) the Customer fails to comply with any demand for payment issued by HEATCOOL;

(d) the Customer ceases or threatens to cease conducting business in the normal manner or applies for deregistration or receives a deregistration notice; or
(e) the Customer is in breach any of these Terms or is in default of any other agreement with HEATCOOL.

12.18 The Customer agrees that repossession of the Equipment pursuant to the PPSA will only satisfy so much of the monies which may still be payable to HEATCOOL by the Customer, and is equivalent to HEATCOOL’s estimation of the market value of the Equipment as it is at the date of repossession. On repossession of the Equipment by HEATCOOL, any rights the Customer may have will immediately extinguish.
12.19 Until any obligations owed to HEATCOOL by the Customer are discharged in full, the Customer must not give HEATCOOL a written demand or allow any other person to give HEATCOOL a written demand requiring HEATCOOL to register a financing change statement under the PPSA or enter into or allow any other person to enter into the PPSR, a financing change statement.
Where HEATCOOL has followed plans, drawings, designs, specifications and instructions being oral or written provided by the Customer, the Customer will indemnify HEATCOOL against damages, costs and expenses in respect of which HEATCOOL may become liable by following such plans, drawings, designs, specifications and instructions by the Customer.
14.1 HEATCOOL will not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by the Customer due to any delay or any breach or default under this Agreement in circumstances where such delay, breach or default results from causes beyond HEATCOOL’s reasonable control including but not limited to any breach or default under this Agreement by the Customer, compliance with the laws, regulations, orders, acts, instruction or priority requests of governments, acts of God, fires, flood, weather, strikes, lockouts, factory shutdowns or alterations, embargoes, wars, riots, delay or shortage in transportation or inability to obtain labour, manufacturing facilities, electricity, oil or other materials from HEATCOOL’s or the manufacturer’s usual source.

14.3 Any indulgence, latitude or extension of time which HEATCOOL may show towards the Customer in relation to any of the provisions of the Agreement or any other matter or thing relating thereto or arising therefrom will not in any way prejudice or interfere with HEATCOOL’s rights under the Agreement and will not be claimed to constitute a waive thereof.
