Service Agreement and Terms of Trade
The short answer
The Pivot Trade Services terms of trade apply once a quote is accepted, a deposit is paid, or services are requested. Quotes are valid for 30 days. Work is carried out in accordance with Australian Standards, with a 12-month workmanship guarantee and manufacturer warranties on materials. Cancellations require 24 hours notice. Liability is limited to the amount paid for the relevant service, and nothing limits rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
1. Definitions
"Client", "you" and "your" refer to the customer engaging Pivot Trade Services. "Services" means electrical, solar, battery, hot water, heating and cooling installation, maintenance or related work carried out by Pivot Trade Services. "Agreement" means these Terms of Trade and any associated quotation, invoice or work order.
2. Acceptance of terms
By accepting a quote, paying a deposit, or requesting our services, you agree to be bound by this Agreement.
3. Quotes and estimates
All quotes are valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated. Quotes are based on information provided by the client and on what was visible at the time of inspection. Additional charges may apply if site conditions differ materially from those described or from what could reasonably be seen.
4. Booking and deposits
We may require a deposit before commencing work. Deposits are non-refundable once materials are ordered or scheduling has been confirmed.
5. Payment terms
Full payment is required upon completion of the job unless otherwise agreed in writing. Accepted payment methods will be advised on your invoice. Late payments may incur administrative fees or interest at our discretion.
6. Cancellations and rescheduling
If you need to cancel or reschedule a booking, please provide at least 24 hours notice. Late cancellations may incur a call-out or rebooking fee.
7. Workmanship and warranties
All work is carried out in accordance with Australian Standards and relevant industry regulations, and prescribed electrical work is certified with a Certificate of Electrical Safety issued under our REC licence.
We guarantee our workmanship for 12 months from completion unless otherwise specified. Manufacturer warranties apply to all materials and products used.
8. Australian Consumer Law
Nothing in this Agreement limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). If our services fail to meet a consumer guarantee, you are entitled to a remedy as outlined under the ACL.
9. Access to site
You agree to provide safe and reasonable access to the property where services are to be performed. We reserve the right to postpone or cancel work if unsafe conditions are identified, including unsafe roof access, asbestos disturbance risk, or aggressive animals.
