1. Validity of Quotation
All quotations issued by the Company are valid for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated in writing. The Company reserves the right to amend or withdraw any quotation after this period without prior notice.

​

2. Basis of Quotation
Quotations are prepared based on information provided by the client at the time of request. Any variation in scope, unforeseen site conditions, or additional requirements not previously disclosed may result in revised pricing or additional charges.
Where additional services or materials are required beyond the original scope of the quotation, a revised quotation or formal variation order will be submitted to the client for written approval prior to commencement of the additional works.

​

3. Pricing and Currency
All prices are quoted in Australian Dollars (AUD) and are exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST) unless expressly stated otherwise.

​

4. Payment Terms
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, or as per existing customer payment terms, payment for all goods and services is due upon delivery.
In the event of late payment, interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance at a rate of five percent (5%) per calendar month, calculated daily.
Should an invoice remain unpaid beyond its due date, the Company reserves the right to suspend the provision of goods or services, and may engage a third-party debt collection agency. All costs incurred in the recovery of overdue accounts, including legal fees, shall be recoverable from the client.

​

5. Variations and Site Conditions
All requests for changes to the scope of works must be submitted in writing. Any such changes may incur additional costs and may affect the project timeline.
Where unforeseen site conditions necessitate additional labour, materials, or modification of the works, the Company shall promptly notify the client and issue a revised quotation or variation order.
In circumstances where immediate action is required to preserve safety or ensure compliance with applicable laws and regulations, the Company reserves the right to proceed without prior written approval. Associated costs shall be deemed recoverable.

​

6. Cancellations and Rescheduling
If a scheduled engagement is cancelled by the client within twenty-four (24) hours of the agreed commencement date, the Company reserves the right to apply one or more of the following:

• A cancellation fee of ten percent (10%) of the total quotation value if works have not yet commenced

• Recovery of all direct and indirect costs incurred by the Company up to the point of cancellation
  In the case of a rescheduling request, the Company will make reasonable efforts to accommodate, but reserves the right to impose an administration or rescheduling fee.
   

7. Delays and Force Majeure
The Company shall not be held liable for delays in delivery or performance arising from circumstances beyond its reasonable control. These may include, but are not limited to, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, supplier or material shortages, industrial disputes, regulatory changes, or other force majeure events.

​

8. Site Access and Safety
The client is responsible for ensuring safe, clear, and unrestricted access to the site prior to the commencement of any works. This includes, where applicable, securing all necessary permits, removing obstructions or hazards, and ensuring compliance with site-specific safety requirements.
If access to the site is restricted, delayed, or otherwise obstructed, the Company reserves the right to charge a standby or waiting fee.
The Company retains the right to delay or cease works if, in its assessment, the site presents a risk to health and safety. Costs arising from such delays shall be borne by the client.

​

9. Pre-Existing Conditions and External Factors
The Company shall not be held responsible for any failure or defect arising from pre-existing site conditions, including but not limited to non-compliant or substandard installations by third parties.
The Company disclaims all liability for damage resulting from misuse, negligence, third-party interference, environmental factors, or normal wear and tear.

​

10. Limitation of Liability
