7. PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITIES ACT 1999 

7.1. MaxBuild and the purchaser acknowledge that these terms shall create a security agreement as defined by the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 (“PPSA”). For the purposes of the PPSA, in this clause the term “Collateral” includes the Goods and their proceeds including insurance payments. The purchaser agrees to give MaxBuild a security interest in all of the purchaser’s present  and after-acquired property that MaxBuild has supplied as the Goods as Collateral and agrees not to allow any person to file a  finance statement over any of the Goods secured by this security clause without the prior written consent of MaxBuild. 7.2. Upon signing these terms the purchaser acknowledges that: 

(i) these terms are a security agreement for the purposes of s 36 of the PPSA; and 

(ii) a security interest is taken in all Goods previously supplied to the purchaser and all Goods that will be supplied in the future  by MaxBuild to the purchaser during the continuance of the party’s relationship. 

7.3. The purchaser undertakes to: 

(i) sign any further documents and/or provide any further information which MaxBuild may reasonably require to enable  MaxBuild to perfect and maintain the perfection of its security interest (including by registration of a financing statement);

(ii) give MaxBuild not less than 14 days prior written notice of any proposed change to the purchaser’s name and will use its  best endeavours to ensure that a financing statement is registered disclosing its new name; and 

(iii) waive the rights listed in section 107(2) of the PPSA, its right to receive the notice referred to in section 114(1)(a) of the PPSA,  and its right to reinstate under sections 133 and 134. The purchaser agrees that MaxBuild may exercise the rights in sections 108, 109, 111(1) and 120(1) of the PPSA whether or not MaxBuild has priority over all other secured parties, and that  MaxBuild may charge for complying with a demand under section 162 of the PPSA. The purchaser will inform any trustee in  bankruptcy or liquidator of the purchaser or any receiver of the purchaser’s business or assets of the rights of MaxBuild and  title to the proceeds of sale. 

7.4. These security interest terms constitute a continuing security and will operate irrespective of any intervening payment or  settlement of account until a release has been signed by MaxBuild. The security interest granted in the Collateral has the same  priority in relation to any Goods supplied to the purchaser by MaxBuild at any time. 

8. PRIVACY ACT 1993 

The client and the guarantor/s (if separate to the client) authorises MaxBuild Ltd to: 

(i) Collect, retain and use any information about the client and/or Guarantors, for the purpose of assessing the  customer and/or Guarantors creditworthiness or marketing products and services to the customer and/or  Guarantors; and 

(ii) Disclose information about the customer and/or guarantors, whether collected by MaxBuild Ltd from the customer  and/or Guarantors directly or obtained by MaxBuild Ltd from any other source, to any other credit provider or any  credit reporting agency for the purposes of providing or obtaining a credit reference, debt collection or notifying a  default by the client and/or Guarantors.
