(a) if a variation to the Goods which are to be supplied is requested; or

(b) if a variation to the Services originally scheduled (including any applicable plans or specifications) is requested; or

(c) where additional Services are required due to the discovery of hidden or unidentifiable difficulties (including, but not limited to, hard rock barriers below the surface, iron reinforcing rods in concrete, or hidden pipes, and wiring in walls etc) which are only discovered on commencement of the Services; or

In addition, the Client must pay any other taxes and duties that may be applicable in addition to the Price except where they are expressly included in the Price.

6. Provision of the Services

6.1   Delivery (“Delivery”) of the Goods is taken to occur at the time that RT (or RT’s nominated carrier) delivers the Goods to the Client’s nominated address even if the Client is not present at the address.

6.2   At RT’s sole discretion, the cost of Delivery is included in the Price.

6.3   The Services are provided on the basis of specifications, information and instructions provided by the Client to RT (whether written or verbal). The Client acknowledges that it is their responsibility to ensure that such are detailed sufficiently to satisfy RT’s requirements of interpretation and understanding, as once accepted by the Client, RT’s quotation shall be deemed to interpret correctly those specifications, information and instructions. Therefore, RT shall not accept any liability for the supply of Services contrary to the Client’s intention, or errors or omissions in the Services, due to insufficient or inadequate provision of detailed specifications, information and instructions by the Client or oversight or misinterpretation thereof, and RT may charge the Client additional costs incurred thereby in remedying the Services, and if reasonably practical, will notify the Client of such costs before they are incurred and the Client agrees to them.

6.4   RT may deliver the Goods in separate instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid in accordance with the provisions in these terms and conditions.

6.5   Any time specified by RT for Delivery of the Goods is an estimate only and RT will not be liable for any loss or damage incurred by the Client as a result of Delivery being late. However both parties agree that they shall make every endeavour to enable the Goods and/or Services to be delivered at the time and place as was arranged between both parties. In the event that RT is unable to supply the Goods and/or Services as agreed solely due to any action or inaction of the Client (including but not limited to, the Client making a selection, having the site ready for the Services or notifying RT that the site is ready), then RT shall be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for redelivery and/or storage.

7. Risk

7.1   Risk of damage to or loss of the Goods passes to the Client on Delivery and the Client must insure the Goods on or before Delivery.

7.2   If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed following Delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Client, RT is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Goods. The production of these terms and conditions by RT is sufficient evidence of RT’s rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with RT to make further enquiries.

7.3   If the Client requests RT to leave Goods outside RT’s premises for collection or to deliver the Goods to an unattended location, then such Goods shall be left at the Client’s sole risk.

7.4   If any of the Goods are damaged or destroyed following delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Client, RT is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Goods. The production of these terms and conditions by RT is sufficient evidence of RT’s rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with RT to make further enquiries.

8. Installation

8.1   The Client warrants that any structures to which the Goods are to be affixed are able to withstand the installation of the Goods and that any electrical connections (including, but not limited to, meter boxes, main switches, circuit breakers, and electrical cable) are of suitable capacity to handle the Goods once installed. If for any reason (including the discovery of asbestos, defective or unsafe wiring or dangerous access to roofing) that RT, its employees or RT’s reasonably form the opinion that the Client’s premises is not safe for the installation of Goods to proceed then RT shall be entitled to delay installation of the Goods (in accordance with the provisions of clause 6.5 above) until RT is satisfied that it is safe for the installation to proceed.
