You accept the price by placing an order or requesting services. The prices set out in a written quotation shall remain valid for a period of 30 calendar days from the date of the quotation. Unless otherwise stated, our prices are quoted as exclusive of GST and freight and you must pay GST and freight in addition to the price. We reserve the right to correct any errors or omissions in any quotation or invoice that we give to you.

2. Payment: Unless we have agreed to provide you with credit, the price is payable prior to delivery or collection of the goods or performance of the services. If we provide you with credit (and unless other payment terms have been agreed in writing) the price shall be payable in full, without set off or deduction, on or before the 20th day of the month following the date of our invoice. Notwithstanding that we may have previously agreed to give you credit, we may in our discretion require you to pay a deposit or to pay the price wholly or partly in advance. We may also cancel any credit and require you to pay all outstanding amounts in full at any time. Credit accounts with us are not transferrable or assignable. If you place an order or request services and then cancel that order or change your mind, we may retain any deposit paid by you.
