  6. Delays & Extension of Time
    1. Stan Bond and the Client acknowledge that due to the custom manufactured and highly specific nature of the Products, delays in Delivery due to supply restrictions, manufacturing errors or installation delays may occur.
    2. The Client accepts that delays of up to six (6) weeks will be considered reasonable where supply restrictions, manufacturing errors or installation delays occur.
    3. Stan Bond will endeavour to alert the Client’s via phone, fax, email or sms message about delays before any expected completion date, however failure to do so does not constitute a failure of Stan Bond’s contractual obligation.
    4. The Client agrees that where Stan Bond’s ability to perform its obligations of this contract is adversely affected by war, strike, trade disputes, damage to plant or machinery, shortage or delay of materials or any other cause beyond the control of Stan Bond the contract may be terminated or suspended with written notice to the Client for up to three (3) months at the discretion of Stan Bond.
    5. The Client accepts that installation may be cancelled with little notice if the installer is delayed or due to hot or wet weather, unsafe access or unavailability of parking.

    2. If any of the Products are damaged or destroyed following delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Client, Stan Bond is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Products. The production of these terms and conditions by Stan Bond is sufficient
    3. evidence of Stan Bond’s rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with Stan Bond to make further enquiries.
    4. Where Stan Bond is required to install the Products, the Client warrants that the structure of the premises or framing upon which these Products are to be installed is sound and will sustain the installation and work incidental thereto, and that the Client must advise Stan Bond of the precise location of all wiring or plumbing that may be hidden behind any surface at the installation site and clearly mark the same. Stan Bond shall not be liable for any claims, demands, losses, damages, costs and expenses howsoever caused or arising should the premises or framing be unable to accommodate the installation or for any damage to hidden wiring or pipes (whether or not the Client is aware of their exact location).
    5. Stan Bond shall reserve the right to suspend installation due to safety reasons (including, but not limited to, hot or inclement weather), unsafe access or the unavailability of parking and no compensation for losses incurred by the Client will be accepted.
  8. Product Terms and Warnings
    1. The Client acknowledges and accept that:
      1. whilst fabric and component manufacturers make every effort to match dye lots, paints, weaves, colours or shades, these may vary between batches of product and/or between sale samples and the actual Product supplied; and
      2. fabric and component manufacturers cannot guarantee to produce perfectly uniform patterned product, therefore there is no guarantee that patterned product will match perfectly when installed; and
      3. the manufacturing process for blinds, awnings and the like may require seams and joins and the appearance of these may be affected by light source and in particular the construction of the chosen product.
      4. mismatching of patterned fabric may result due to the inherent nature of fabric as mentioned in the above clauses; and
      5. fabric flaws, ripples or marks will be considered viewed from at least one (1) metre of distance in an even light; and
      6. painted and powder coated surfaces will have a uniform appearance in colour and texture when viewed from at least one (1) metre of distance in an even light; and
      7. all powder coated and painted surfaces shall be free of excessive scratches that penetrate through the layers of coatings to the bare metal or surface below as per AS3715-2002.
      8. Child safety restraints will be installed where necessary by law.
    2. The Client accepts that due to the nature of fabric, the finished Products may not roll up or sit level in either the up or down positions. Although Stan Bond shall endeavour to fit the Products to the best possible placement, the Client shall accept that framing that the Products are being attached to may not be square and/or plumb.
    3. The Client accepts that Fabrics can have a tendency to ripple, smile or sag especially when installed on rollers wider than 2.5mts. The client accepts that this effect is normal and commercially acceptable.
    4. The Client accepts that tension on fabric (in particular applying to Ziptrak and Zipscreen blinds) may cause some rippling or sagging and this is considered accepted industry standards.
    5. The Client accepts that the installation of security doors will be fitted in a best average fit manner to take into account framing that may not be square, and as a result some tapered visible gaps may occur.
    6. Stan Bond shall be indemnified from any damage that may be caused (including, breakage to tiles) during the removing of existing fittings in preparation of the installation of the Products.
    7. Where Stan Bond causes damages during installation (including but not limited to tiles, wall fixtures, bricks and plaster), Stan Bond shall replace or repair the damaged parts to a commercially acceptable standard and/or as close to the original part as possible. The Client therefore accepts that some variation may occur due to dye lots, patterns of tiles or damaged parts due to age of the parts and availability of such replacements.
  9. Access
    1. The Client shall ensure that Stan Bond has clear and free access to the work site at all times to enable them to undertake the works. Stan Bond shall not be liable for any loss or damage to the site (including, without limitation, damage to pathways, driveways and concreted or paved or grassed areas) unless due to the negligence of Stan Bond.
  10. Title
    1. Stan Bond and the Client agree that ownership of the Products shall not pass until:
      1. the Client has paid Stan Bond all amounts owing to Stan Bond; and
      2. the Client has met all of its other obligations to Stan Bond.
    2. Receipt by Stan Bond of any form of payment other than cash shall not be deemed to be payment until that form of payment has been honoured, cleared or recognised.
    3. It is further agreed that:
      1. until ownership of the Products passes to the Client in accordance with clause 1 that the Client is only a bailee of the Products and must return the Products to Stan Bond on request.
      2. the Client holds the benefit of the Client’s insurance of the Products on trust for Stan Bond and must pay to Stan Bond the proceeds of any insurance in the event of the Products being lost, damaged or destroyed.
      3. the Client must not sell, dispose, or otherwise part with possession of the Products other than in the ordinary course of business and for market value. If the Client sells, disposes or parts with possession of the Products then the Client must hold the proceeds of any such act on trust for Stan Bond and must pay or deliver the proceeds to Stan Bond on demand.
      4. the Client should not convert or process the Products or intermix them with other goods but if the Client does so then the Client holds the resulting product on trust for the benefit of Stan Bond and must sell, dispose of or return the resulting product to Stan Bond as it so directs.
      5. the Client irrevocably authorises Stan Bond to enter any premises where Stan Bond believes the Products are kept and recover possession of the Products.
      6. Stan Bond may recover possession of any Products in transit whether or not delivery has occurred.
      7. the Client shall not charge or grant an encumbrance over the Products nor grant nor otherwise give away any interest in the Products while they remain the property of Stan Bond.
      8. Stan Bond may commence proceedings to recover the Price of the Products sold notwithstanding that ownership of the Products has not passed to the Client.
  11. Defects, Warranties and Returns, Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CCA)

The Client must notify any other alleged defect in the Products as soon as reasonably possible after any such defect becomes evident. Upon such notification the Client must allow Stan Bond to inspect the Products.
    3. If the Client is not a consumer within the meaning of the CCA, Stan Bond’s liability for any defect or damage in the Products is:
      1. limited to the value of any express warranty or warranty card provided to the Client by Stan Bond at Stan Bond’s sole discretion;

      2. the Client using the Products for any purpose other than that for which they were designed including wind or storm related damage;

    2. If the Client owes Stan Bond any money the Client shall indemnify Stan Bond from and against all costs and disbursements incurred by Stan Bond in recovering the debt (including but not limited to internal administration fees, legal costs on a solicitor and own client basis, Stan Bond’s contract default fee, and bank dishonour fees).
