Hi,
Under a current supply contract there are certain terms which state when the Supplier can invoice for products. The Supplier can invoice on delivery to the Principal. Payments terms are 20 days from receipt of a payment claim (invoice) unless the Principal disputes the claim.
There is also another term with regards to acceptance. “Delivery is not acceptance”. The Principal has 14 days after the date of delivery to accept/reject the goods.
My question under contract law is that if the Supplier delivers some goods to the Principal, but then a few days later is found to have some issues which are rectified within the agreed timeframe, does this affect when the Supplier can invoice for the goods? Or can the Supplier still invoice for the goods on delivery, regardless of whether the Principal accepts or not? I don’t know whether Australian Consumer Law would override this either.
Thanks in advance,
