The Consignor will be and remain responsible and liable to RPT for all proper charges incurred by RPT for any reason. If, upon reasonable demand being made by RPT the Consignor fail to pay such charges or any amount due to RPT, RPT may detain and sell all or any of the Goods of the Consignor which are in possession of RPT and out of the monies arising from such sale retain amounts and charges so payable and all charges and expenses relating to the detention and sale of any Goods in the possession of the Consignor. RPT shall then pay the surplus, if any, of the monies arising from the sale and/or provide the portion of such of the Goods as remain unsold to the person entitles thereto. Any such sale shall not prejudice or effect charges due or payable in respect of such services or the said detention and sale. For these purposes the parties agree that RPT is deemed to have a security interest in respect of the Goods. 8. The Consignor warrant that the Goods are not subject to any prior Security Interest which may rank in priority to the Security Interest in the Goods granted to RPT and hereby fully indemnifies and holds harmless RPT against any claim by any other person or entity in respect of the Goods, or any loss or damage incurred by RPT resultant of a breach of this warranty. 9. The Consignor hereby authorises RPT to arrange for the carriage of any Goods or the performance of any Service to be undertaken by any Sub-contractor or other third party as determined appropriate by RPT at its unfettered discretion.

The Consignor will not require RPT to transport, store or take custody of any explosive, inflammable or otherwise dangerous Goods (as determined by RPT in its unfettered discretion) whether such danger is caused by the nature of Goods, damage to such Goods or insufficiently or improperly packed Goods without giving to RPT a full written description of those Goods, their condition, state of packaging, risks and instructions for care and handling. In the event of default of this clause, the Consignor accepts full liability for all loss or damage caused to RPT or any other party and hereby indemnifies RPT from any claim, action, suit or loss caused either directly or indirectly as a result of the breach of this clause. If in the sole discretion of RPT any Goods are, or are liable to become of a dangerous, inflammable, explosive, volatile, offensive or damaging nature, such Goods may at any time be destroyed, disposed of, abandoned or rendered harmless by RPT at the cost of the Consignor and without compensation to the Consignor and without prejudice to RPT’s right to any charge hereunder. The Consignor must pay to RPT full compensation for any additional costs, expenses or loss that might be incurred by RPT for disposal. 11. The Consignor warrants to RPT that all of the Goods will be packed in a manner required by all applicable laws and adequate to withstand the ordinary risks of the carriage having regard to the nature of the Goods. The Consignor fully indemnifies and holds harmless RPT from any claim, action, suit or loss caused either directly or indirectly as a result of the breach of the warranties contained within the clause. 12. We do not provide insurance coverage of any kind. Insurance will be your sole responsibility. Insurance will not be arranged by us.

Notwithstanding any condition herein or limiting or excluding our liability, where the contract involves the transportation and/or storage of the Goods otherwise than for the purpose of a business, trade, profession or occupation carried on or engaged in by the person for whom the Goods are transported, the contract shall be subject to the guarantees implied under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 and the Australian Consumer Law and in particular the guarantee that such transportation and storage will be rendered with due care and skill. 16.
