WARNING

Outdoor gas appliances, such as barbecues, camping stoves and patio heaters are designed for use in highly ventilated areas. When gas doesn’t burn properly, it produces toxic gases (eg carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides) that are poisonous and can kill you.

Correct use of outdoor gas appliances, in highly ventilated outdoor areas, means the toxic gases will vent away quickly and safely without risk of harm.

Using outdoor gas appliances indoors, or in a confined space with limited ventilation, is very dangerous. Please actively consider this at all times. Including without limitation, be aware that some café blinds restrict airflow and ventilation and therefore should not be used to enclose the space around your operating outdoor gas appliance.

If a gas appliance has been marked for outdoor use only, do not use it indoors or in partially-enclosed areas without adequate ventilation.

Look for a warning label on the appliance or check the manufacturer’s instructions for more information.

To the maximum extent permitted by law:
- any legislation that adversely affects Our obligations or the exercise by Us of a right or remedy under or relating to Our supply of goods and/or services is excluded from these Terms and Conditions;
- We limit Our maximum aggregate Liability to You in connection with Our supply of goods and/or services to an amount equal to the amount of money paid by You to Us under these Terms and Conditions;
- You indemnify Us and agree to keep us indemnified and to hold Us harmless from and against any and all Claims, Liabilities and Consequential Losses directly or indirectly relating to:
  - any matter directly or indirectly relating to electrical and/or gas safety, including without limitation the matters that are the subject of the warning appearing above and things You are responsible for under clause 3;
  - any other matter directly or indirectly relating to our supply of goods and/or services to You, except to the extent to which Our negligent, reckless or intentional act or omission caused or contributed to same; and
- You agree that We shall not in any circumstance be Liable to You for any Consequential Loss.
Any amounts paid by Us under, and the value of any goods or services replaced, repaired or supplied by us in connection with, clauses 3 and 13.4, shall count towards calculation of Our maximum aggregate Liability as described in clause 13.5(b).
Any liability of Us to You shall be reduced to the extent that You or Your Successors or Your Personnel caused or contributed to that liability.
Any act or omission by Your Successors shall, for the purposes of and all purposes connected with these Terms and Conditions, be deemed to be an act or omission by You.

14. Security

As security for performance of Your obligations to Us, you charge in Our favour all of Your legal and equitable interest in property owned by You (or any one of you) now or in the future, solely or jointly with any other person. For this purpose ‘property’ means both real and personal property located in any State or Territory of the Commonwealth of Australia.
You irrevocably authorise Us to lodge and maintain a caveat against any real property to which clause 1 applies until all amounts payable by You in connection with these Terms and Conditions are paid in full.
You agree to deliver to Us within seven (7) days of demand any and all documents We may from time to time request You to sign, containing any such further terms as We or Our legal advisors may reasonably request, in order to give full intended effect to the security interest granted by clause 1.
