1.2 In this contract the following expressions have the following respective meanings unless the context otherwise requires:
"Online publisher" means Downwind.com.au which is a brand of Quill Resources as the Trustee for the MRG Asset Trust
"Seller" means the person or company identified as the entity which is selling products or services in the Downwind Aviation Shop.
"Buyers" means person or company identified as the entity which is purchasing products or services offered by Sellers in the Downwind Aviation Shop.
Overview Downwind.com.au has established an online shopping system that allows Sellers to sell their products and services to Buyers via the Downwind website. All transactions for the sale of products are between the Buyer and the Seller and Downwind charges the Seller a fixed monthly commission and a percentage of any sale.
2) Seller Payments Terms:
The publisher charges the Seller two fees in advance (see Schedule A): 1. Monthly access fee 2. Sales commission fee.
Access Fee Sellers are automatically charged a fixed monthly access fee (outlined in Schedule A) for access to the publisher's online shopping system.The Seller agrees to have this fee automatically paid to the publisher on the monthly anniversary date. In the event that this access fee is not paid then the publisher reserves the right to suspend the Seller’s products and services posted on the website for sale. In this event the online publisher may post an "account suspended" notice in place of any company information supplied.
Commission Fee In addition, Sellers are required to deposite funds with the publisher via the online "Balance Manager" in the Cpanel administration area. As sales are made the publisher will charge the Seller a commission (outlined in Schedule A) and deduct this charge from the balance deposited.
In the event that the Seller's commission balance becomes negative (ie. the commission account reaches a negative balance) the publisher reserves the right to suspend the Seller’s products and services posted on the website for sale. In this event the online publisher may post an "account suspended" notice in place of any company information supplied.
A negative commission balance does not constitute that the fixed monthly charge is not due on the monthly anniversary date and failure to pay the fixed monthly access fee does not mean that any commission that is due is not payable.
3) Termination of service by Seller
In the event that the Seller elects to terminate the publisher's service then: a. Seller to provide the publisher 30 days notice. b.
