CASUALFIX – Service Payment Terms and Release of Liability applicable to Work Order Agreement

 

CLIENT agrees that the terms and conditions that apply to CASUALFIX’s “No Fix No Fee” and “We Will Fix It or It’s FREE” policies, require that the CLIENT accepts the solution that CASUALFIX recommends. Depending on the circumstances this may include the purchase of replacement hardware. If the CLIENT rejects CASUALFIX’s recommended solution then the CLIENT will be liable for the labour charges incurred up to the point of the problem diagnosis. If the CLIENT’s system is under warranty then the minimum fee will be payable whether a solution to the problem is provided or not. Refunds can only be paid via DIRECT DEPOSIT.

CLIENT agrees to pay the minimum quoted fee. The minimum fee is inclusive of 45 minutes of on-site labour time. Any additional time is billed in 15min slots. In cases where the problem/fault is best repaired off-site the total billable labour fee will be capped to 2 hours maximum. The CLIENT agrees to make payment for all charges within 7 days of issue of the tax invoice for the service. Payments not rendered on time may be subject to additional late processing fees. Prices quoted do not include GST. GST is charged in accordance with Goods and Services Act as per Commonwealth of Australia.

 

CLIENT permits CASUALFIX’s onsite representative to make a local phone call on CLIENT’s fixed line phone to CASUALFIX Level 2 support in case the representative requires escalation to expert remote support for assistance with troubleshooting the CLIENT’s problem. CLIENT permits CASUALFIX’s onsite representative to make local calls to clock in and out with CASUALFIX’s Dispatch Centre in case of poor mobile phone reception.
