PREMIER HEATING LIMITED TERMS OF TRADE

1. GENERAL

1.1 These Terms of Trade, as amended or replaced from time to time, govern the supply and installation of goods and the supply of services by Premier Heating Limited (“the Company”) to any company, organisation or individual (“the Customer”).

1.2 Any Work Order Form provided by the Company to the Customer or any quotation given by the Company and accepted by the Customer, constitutes the Customer’s agreement to be bound by these terms. Any additional or different terms the Customer stipulates or states in any communication with the Company are hereby negated and will not bind the Company unless the Company agrees in writing.

2.1 The Customer shall pay the price stated on the Work Order Form or quotation issued by the Company.

2.2 The prices payable under clause 2.1 shall include Goods and Services Tax unless otherwise stated.

2.3 The price may be increased by the amount of any increase in the costs of any such items or other factors affecting the cost of supply, production, delivery and/or installation of the goods due to circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Company.

3. PAYMENT

3.1 The deposit as specified shall be paid on acceptance of the quotation or on acceptance of the Work Order by the Customer. At the request of the Company, the Customer shall pre-pay to the Company the price for the goods to be installed prior to installation by the Company. The remainder of the purchase price shall be paid to the Company by the Customer no later than 7 days after the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company. Payment shall be made by cash or cheque.

3.2 Interest at 12% per annum calculated on a daily basis is payable on any late payment from the date payment was due until the date payment is received in full by the Company.

4. INSTALLATION OF GOODS AND SUPPLY OF SERVICES

4.2 Although care will be taken during the installation of the goods and supply of services, the Company is not responsible for any damage that may occur to the Customer’s property during the installation of the goods or supply of services except where such damage is caused by the negligence of the Company in carrying out such installation work in which event such damage is the responsibility of the Company.

4.3 The Company is not liable for any loss or damage whatsoever due to the Company’s failure to install the goods promptly or at all.
