customer. Such amended details supersede any relevant prior detail in dealings between the parties.

3. Quotes

(a) The CWG may provide the customer with a quote. Any quote issued by the CWG is valid for 7 days from the date of issue.

(b) Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing, a quote does not include delivery or installation of the Goods.

(c) Quotes are based upon the cost of materials available at the time of preparation of the quote and assume the timely supply by the customer of necessary material and instructions to the CWG.

(d) Following provision of a quote to the customer, the CWG is not obliged to commence work until the quote has been accepted by the customer. This occurs by the customer completing an order form and returning the form to the CWG.

(e) The CWG reserves the right to amend any quote before the order has been completed to take into account any rise or fall in the cost of completing the order. The CWG will notify the customer of any amendment as soon as practicable, at which point the amended quote will be the estimate or quote for the purposes of these terms of trade.

(f) An indication in a quote of the time frame for the provision of the goods or services is an estimate only and is not a fixed time frame. Subject to any obligations in respect of consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL), this estimate is not binding upon the CWG.

4. Orders

(a) Every order by the customer for the provision of goods or services must be submitted in writing on the CWG’s standard order form (unless otherwise agreed).

(b) An order will only be deemed to be placed by the customer if the order clearly identifies the goods or services ordered and the CWG’s Quote. Any costs incurred by the CWG in reliance on incorrect or inadequate information provided by the customer in an order may result in the imposition of an additional charge.

(c) Orders must be signed by an authorised representative of the customer and must specify the required date of delivery.

(d) Placement of an order by the customer signifies acceptance by the customer of these terms of trade and the most recent quote provided by the CWG relating to that order.

(ii) credit limits cannot be agreed upon or have been exceeded; or
(iii) payment for goods or services previously provided to the customer or any related corporation of the customer or to any other party who is, in the reasonable opinion of the CWG, associated with the customer under the same or another supply contract, has not been received by the CWG.

(f) An order cannot be cancelled without the prior written consent of the CWG. Where an order is cancelled, the customer indemnifies the CWG against any losses incurred by the CWG as a result of the cancellation. This includes, but is not limited to, loss of profit from other orders foregone as a result of the scheduling of the order which is subsequently cancelled.

5. Variations

(a) The Customer may request that its order be varied by providing a request in writing to the CWG. A request for a variation must be agreed to in writing by the CWG in order to have effect.

(b) If the customer wishes to vary its requirements after a quote has been prepared by the CWG or after the placement of an order, the CWG reserves the right to vary the quote to include any additional charge in respect of any extra costs incurred or additional work carried out due to the variation, in accordance with its then current charge rates. A revised quote issued by the CWG in respect of the requested variation supersedes the original quote. If the revised quote only specifies additional work, the quote for that additional work will be in addition to the immediately preceding quote for the goods or services or both.

(c) The CWG has an automatic extension of time for the provision of the goods or services equal to the delay caused by the variation.

issue one or more invoices for a proportion or the whole of the amount of the Quote (the proportion to be calculated at the CWG’s discretion either for work done to that point, work in the future or both) and require that proportion of the Quote be paid in advance of any further Goods or Services being provided; or

(iii) upon completion of the provision of the Goods or Services or any time thereafter, for an amount equal to the Quote or the balance of the Quote outstanding, any Additional Charges and any amount not previously invoiced, or if no Quote was provided, for an amount representing the CWG’s charge for the work performed in completing the Order and for any Additional Charges.

(b) The amount payable by the customer will be the amount set out in the quote. This will be calculated as:

(i) the amount for the goods or services (or both) as set out in the quote and any additional charges, or
(ii) where no quote has been provided by the CWG, the CWG’s usual charges for the goods or services (or both) as described in the order.
