Project-Based Or Invoice Work

Quoted invoices or projects will only commence upon payment of a non-refundable Project Initiation Fee, which covers labor, parts, and service preparations. (The Full invoice Amount)

Immediate Payment Obligation and Breach

Notwithstanding the final project completion status, where the Company has performed work, including but not limited to fault-finding, material procurement, design, or initial installation phases (collectively, "Pre-Completion Work"), or where an upfront payment (deposit) is required, the full invoiced amount for that required payment or performed work/procured materials shall become immediately due and payable on the date specified on the invoice. Failure to settle any such due amount by the due date shall constitute a material breach of these terms, entitling the Company to suspend all further work immediately and initiate debt collection procedures.

Retention of Title (Ownership of Goods)

Title and ownership of all materials, equipment, and items supplied to or by the Company and intended for installation (the "Goods") shall remain vested exclusively with the Company until the Client has paid the full outstanding balance for the entire project to which the Goods relate. The risk of damage to the Goods shall pass to the Client upon delivery to the site.

Right of Lien, Recovery, and Sale

If the Client fails to pay the full outstanding balance by the due date, the Company shall have a lien over any uninstalled Goods in the Company's possession or stored on the Client's site. The Client irrevocably grants the Company the right to recover possession of any uninstalled Goods without notice. Furthermore, the Company may sell such recovered Goods to a third party to offset the outstanding debt and all associated recovery costs. The Company shall provide the Client with seven (7) calendar days written notice of its intention to sell the Goods. The Client shall remain fully liable for any shortfall between the outstanding debt and the net proceeds of the sale.

  • 90 Days Overdue: The account will be handed over to a debt collection agency. An additional handover fee will apply, and any associated collection costs will be added to the outstanding balance, along with another 2.5% late fee.

Card Payment Terms for Fault-Finding

  • Payment Upon Completion: Payment is required immediately via EFT or Card Payment upon completion of fault-finding services.
  • 48-Hour Grace Period: Allow up to 48 hours for EFT payments to reflect. Card payments must reflect instantly.
  • Default Action: If payment is not received within 48 hours, a final payment reminder will be sent with a 7-day deadline. Failure to pay will result in suspension of ongoing work and initiation of the debt collection process, which may include the 30, 60, 90-day reminders with penalties or, if permitted by law, a quicker remedy to hand over the account to collectors.

For unresolved accounts, legal action may be taken through Small Claims Court or other legal proceedings. If this occurs, the following may apply:

  • A garnishee order may be issued to collect outstanding amounts directly from your bank or employer.
  • Your assets may be attached via the sheriff of the court to settle the debt.
  • All legal fees incurred, including attorney fees, court costs, and any other associated expenses, will be added to the outstanding amount and will be the responsibility of the liable party or debtor.
