The following constitute the terms and conditions of business between us, the Supplier of goods and services, and you, the Client:<\/p>

1.Price.<\/strong>
Where a quotation has been given for work to be performed, that quotation remains valid for 30 working days. Your acceptance of our quotation\/offer must be confirmed in writing prior to commencement of work, but in the absence of written acceptance our commencement of work will be taken as your acceptance by conduct. We may withdraw that quotation at any time before acceptance.<\/p>

The quotation is based on costs and charges at the date of quotation. Any changes in costs arising from sources beyond our control (for example, changes in prices charged by suppliers to us, fluctuations in labour costs, or government charges) shall be a variation.<\/p>

The following rates shall apply where work is to be charged on the basis of time and materials (charge-up basis), and for the purpose of calculating any variation to quoted work:<\/p>

NEW LABOUR CHARGES AS AT 1ST FEBRUARY 2023<\/p>

Minimum charge of $96 plus vehicle expenses plus G.S.T. This covers the first chargeable hour including traveling time to the work site.<\/p>

After hours is $250 on non stats for first hour then $150 per hour after that. Plus G.S.T<\/p>

Stat Day call out rates are $400 for the first hour then $200 per hour after that. Plus G.S.T.<\/p>

Vehicle charges within the city limits is $30 plus G.S.T. Outside of the city limits vary depending on which area.<\/p>

2. Payment.<\/strong>
Payment of the claimed amount is due and payable by you 20 working days after receipt of our invoice. Where work is undertaken over a period exceeding one month, invoices may be issued for progress payments covering work done and costs incurred up to the date of the invoice. If you disagree for any reason with the claimed amount, you will respond to us in writing before the payment is due. Overdue payments shall attract interest at a monthly rate of 12% calculated from the due date, and any expenses incurred by us in recovering this debt shall be added to your account. We are connected with Baycorp and use their services for collecting overdue debt.<\/p>

4. Ownership.<\/strong>
Any goods and materials supplied by us shall remain our property until paid for in full and while any money is due to us. If any money remains unpaid or you are in breach of any obligation to us, we or our agents are authorised by you to enter your premises to recover and resell and or all of those goods and materials.

Unless specified otherwise, the contract does not include any structural or other alteration to any part of the building. Access and facilities shall be provided within a reasonable time after acceptance of this contract or at a date notified by you and agreed on by us in writing. You shall inform us of any hazards in the workplace to which we may be exposed in working on your premises.<\/p>

7. Time to completion.<\/strong>
