About the Contract
10. These Terms:
10.1 together with the Proposal (if any) and the Policies will be the sole terms of each Contract;

Proposals and Credit
15. Prime may accept or decline to perform any request for the supply of services you give to Prime.

17. If Prime requires, you must accurately and fully complete a credit application in the form required by Prime. Prime may terminate a Contact if the information obtained under a credit application does not show you have a good credit record.
Prices and Invoicing
18. Total prices offered are exclusive of GST and are in Australian dollars unless otherwise stated in a Proposal.

19.1 Prime will, for the duration of the Services, supply you with regular invoices as and when determined by Prime; and
19.2 all Services will be performed during Prime’s normal working hours which are generally 8am to 5pm from Monday to Friday, excluding days which are public holidays in the place the Services are being performed (Work Hours).
20. If Prime has provided a Proposal, Prime’s invoices will be for the offered price or calculated in accordance with the terms set out in a Proposal. Prime may charge you an additional amount (being the hourly rate for applicable Prime Staff as set out in Prime’s Schedule) for any Site Training required to be undertaken by Prime’s Staff unless you have notified Prime of the Site Training requirement prior to Prime providing you with a Proposal.
21. For Services performed without a Proposal or outside the scope of a Proposal, invoices will be calculated:
21.1 by applying Prime’s then current Schedule; or
21.2 if the Services performed are not covered by Prime’s then current Schedule, then as Prime would generally charge to its clients for like services.
22. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, where Prime agrees to a variation to the Services (including the time of performance or completion date) then the offered price will be adjusted by applying Prime’s then current Schedule to such variations. Where you request and Prime accepts a delay in the performance of any Services, you must pay Prime an amount equal to that which Prime determines (acting reasonably) Prime suffers or incurs because Prime has committed resources, including Staff, to such Services.
23. Invoices calculated on Prime’s Schedule will include:

26. If you pay an invoice by credit card you must also pay Prime a credit card surcharge. The credit card surcharge will be an amount equal to the total costs Prime incurs from third parties because you pay Prime by credit card.
Cancellations and Refunds
27. Applicable Services are subject to Prime’s conditions relating to cancellations and refunds which are set out in schedules A and B of these Terms. If the cancellation relates to Site Services or Safety and Training Services the conditions set out in schedule A apply. If the cancellation relates to Clinical Services the conditions set out in schedule B apply.
28. A cancellation or rescheduling notice (“a Notice”);

30.1 Prime must apply any amount you have already paid to satisfy the fee; and

31.2 are subject to GST and other applicable taxes; and
31.3 are a genuine pre-estimate of the damage and loss Prime will incur as a result of any cancellation or rescheduling by you.
Price Adjustment
32. If a Proposal is prepared on incomplete, misleading or incorrect information provided by you then, on Prime’s request, you must pay Prime an additional amount equal to the difference between the offered price and what Prime would have offered had the information supplied been accurate and complete.
33. Prime may increase the price (even if Prime have provided a price) to compensate Prime for any loss, expense or increased costs Prime incurs in providing Services to you as a result of any of the following:
33.1 Prime is delayed for any reason (other than if the delay is Prime’s fault) from starting the Services on the date stated in the Proposal or, if not so stated, within 1 month of the Contract being formed;
33.2 Prime agrees to a request by you to carry out additional Services or to vary the Services or to perform Services outside of Prime’s Work Hours;
33.3 any breach by you of your obligations under these Terms.
34. If the Services are or become subject to any tax, duty, levy or other government or statutory charge (including import duties but excluding income, company and capital gains taxes) the price will be adjusted by an amount equal to the same.
Payment

Prime may apportion any part payments you make against any outstanding principal or interest as Prime may decide. Prime may also apportion any payments you make under one Contract to amounts due under another Contract.

Liability

If goods or services Prime supply are not of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption, then Prime’s liability for a breach of a condition or warranty of supply (including a condition or warranty implied by the Trade Practices Act 1974 (TPA) other than under section 69 of the same) is limited to (as Prime may decide):
59.1 in the case of goods, (i) the replacement of the goods or the supply of equivalent goods or the repair of the goods, or (ii) the payment of the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods or of the cost of having the goods repaired; and

62. Where you suffer Liability as the result of partly your fault and partly Prime’s fault, the amount recoverable by you from Prime (if any) is to be reduced to such extent as the Court thinks just and equitable having regard to your contribution to the overall fault for such Liability.
63. Where you suffer Liability for which Prime is jointly and severally liable with any third party, the extent to which such Liability is recoverable by you from Prime, as opposed to the third party, will be limited to such extent that the Court thinks to be in proportion to Prime’s contribution to the overall fault for such Liability.

This clause does not prejudice the right of a party to institute proceedings to enforce any payment due under a Contract, to seek injunctive relief to prevent immediate and irreparable harm, or to terminate a Contract where it has an express right to do so.
86. A party to the dispute must promptly notify the other party to the dispute the nature of the dispute, giving reasonable details and what action (if any) the party giving notice thinks will resolve the dispute (but a failure to give such notice does not entitle any other party to damages or give a right to terminate a Contract).
