The chill of the Bill Express fridge

Australian Pure Fruits is pursuing a newsagent who took on a drinks fridge as part of their Bill Express arrangements.  I would be interested to hear from other newsagents being similarly pursued about the fridge.

Australian Pure Fruits is the company which originally floated Bill Express on the ASX.  They claim to have purchased the fridges from Capital Finance.   Capital provided lease finance to OnQ, the company through which the fridges were supplied to newsagents as part of Bill Express arrangements.  Yes, it all sounds very messy.

I’d want to see proof that they purchased rights associated with the fridge as well as the lease over the fridge before I agree to anything.  The rights were part of a relationship with Bill Express and OnQ and I am not aware of any rights in relation to those businesses being sold or transferred.

The Australian Pure Fruits correspondence I have seen aims to ensure that 80% of compliant product is displayed – that is, products supplied by Australian Pure Fruits.
