The following terms and conditions apply to your participation in any trade-in program (Trade-In Program) run by Hewlett-Packard Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 74 004 394 763) (HP) to which these terms and conditions apply. By applying for or accepting the Trade-In Program or Trade-In Rebate, or by placing a Trade-In Request, you agree to these terms and conditions.

1. The Program: You may be eligible for a Trade-In Rebate for the return of old equipment (the Trade-In Product(s)) to HP as identified prior to, at the time of or after ordering new HP Product(s), and advised to the nominated HP sales representative or authorised HP reseller (Reseller) as appropriate. Subject to these terms and conditions, HP will offer you a rebate (Trade-In Rebate) for Trade-In Products when you purchase new HP Product(s), all such products being identified in the Trade-In value calculator or the Trade-In Request.

2. Eligible Products: The eligible new HP Product(s) against which old HP or Non-HP Trade-In Products can be traded in, and the eligible Trade-In Products, may be determined from time to time in Clause 9 of these terms and conditions for a Trade-In Program and/or the Trade-In value calculator. Unless otherwise specified in Clause 9 of these terms and conditions, only one Product can be traded-in against one new HP Product purchased, and the Trade-In Product must be in the same product category as the new HP Product purchased. Clause 9 of these terms and conditions may specify additional eligibility criteria, including (without limitation) restrictions on the number of trade-in transactions that are permitted. Unless otherwise specified in Clause 9 of these terms and conditions, the Trade-In Program may be combined with other promotions, programs or special pricing. HP may request the serial numbers of the Trade-In Products and new HP Products from you or the authorised reseller.

3. New Product(s) Purchase Order: To be eligible for a Trade-In Rebate, you must place a purchase order for new HP Product(s) within the time frame during which the respective Trade-In Program is offered. Notwithstanding anything else in these terms and conditions, no Trade-In Rebate is available for Trade-In Products traded in against new HP Product(s) ordered under a leasing or rental agreement unless you have full and unencumbered title to the Trade-In Products.

4. Trade-In Request: Unless otherwise stated in Clause 9 of these terms and conditions, you must make a trade-in application (Trade-In Request) on the Trade-In web portal within the time period in which the respective program is valid.

5. Trade-In Rebate: The estimated amount of the Trade-In Rebate is determined by the Trade-In value calculator (or similar calculation tool). The estimated amount will be provided in the currency noted in the Trade-In value calculator and will include any applicable goods and services or other value added tax. That estimate is based on the information provided by you, and all Trade-In Rebates are subject to change without notice. HP reserves the right to vary the amount of the Trade-In Rebate if the actual characteristics of the Trade-In Product do not match the information provided by you, if the Trade-In Request was made after the expiration of any relevant price validity period (for example, the period identified by the Trade-In value calculator) or you are in breach of a warranty given under these terms and conditions in clause 13. HP also reserves the right to correct the Trade-In Rebate at any time prior to payment where there has been a typographical or other error in the values used or generated by the Trade-In value calculator. HP can set-off the Trade-In Rebate against any charges payable or deductions made under this agreement (see clauses 6, 8 and 12). In general, the Trade-In Rebate may not exceed 50% of the purchase price of the corresponding new HP Products, but Clause 9 of these terms and conditions may impose other restrictions on the amount of the Trade-In Rebate.

6. Form of Payment: Payment of the Trade-In Rebate will be made by way of electronic funds transfer. If you request that payment be made by cheque, HP reserves the right to charge an administration fee of $5, which will be deducted from the Trade-In Rebate.

7. Payment: Subject to any provision to the contrary in Clause 9 of these terms and conditions payment of the Trade-In Rebate is subject to you providing a copy of the tax invoice (proof of purchase) for the new HP Product(s) purchased within 10 working days after the submission of your Trade-In Request. Payment also is subject to you providing correct bank account and contact details. Subject to any provision to the contrary in Clause 9 of these terms and conditions, HP will release the payment after the Trade-In Product(s) is received, inspected and accepted by HP (or its agent or contractor). HP may at its discretion release the credit at an earlier date, but not earlier than the completion of the sale of the new HP Product(s). By agreeing to the terms and conditions, you agree that you are also entering into a Recipient Created Tax Invoice Agreement (RCTI) with HP for the amount of the Trade-In Rebate. HP will forward a completed RCTI once payment of the Trade-In Rebate has been finalised.

8. Collection of Trade-In Product(s): Subject to any provision to the contrary in Clause 9 of these terms and conditions payment of the Trade-In Rebate is subject to you making the Trade-In Product(s), together with all relevant attachments, accessories and/or peripherals, available for collection within 7 days of the date on which the Trade-In Request is placed. Where there is more than one Trade-In Product all Trade-In Product(s) must be made available for collection at the same time and at the same location unless otherwise instructed by HP. You must ensure that the Trade-In Product(s) are de-installed and appropriately packaged for transport by the time of collection. The collection of the Trade-In Product(s) by or on behalf of HP is final, and no Trade-In Product(s) or any part thereof will be returned to you. Subject to any provision to the contrary in Clause 9 of these terms and conditions, there will be no charge for collection of Trade-In Products from capital city metropolitan areas. The “capital cities” covered are Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Darwin, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. Trade-In Product(s) to be collected from outside that area will incur a shipping charge, which will be deducted from the Trade-In Rebate. HP will provide a quote for such shipping charges. HP reserves the right to request consolidation of your Trade-In Product(s) to designated shipping points. Subject to Clause 9 of these terms and conditions, HP reserves the right not to collect and/or not to pay for the collection of the Trade-In Product(s). HP may also, at its discretion, collect other products that are not part of the Trade-In Program for recycling or resale, subject to you disclosing the type and volume of such products at the time the collection is arranged.
