​

5.    QUOTES 
(a)    Acceptance of Terms: By accepting a quote offered by BFR, and doing business with BFR, you acknowledge, accept and agree to the terms, conditions and disclaimers as published on our website.
(b)    Valid Period: Quotes are valid for thirty (30) days unless otherwise specified on the quote.
(c)    Standard Times: Quotes are based on standard times and parts unless otherwise specified, together with clean and clear site access during standard business hours. If any special requirements, urgent works or out of hours works are required, this will be advised to the customer, and the costs for same will be added to the final price.
(d)    Unforeseen Works: We guarantee to act honestly, transparently and in good faith. It is of note, though, that when we quote a job, it is impractical at that point to dismantle windows and doors already installed as this is a major time and/or risk in performing the job. The quoted price is a best-case scenario offered in good faith (which is 95% of cases), based on our extensive experience. However, it may be the case that unforeseen problems arise that could include difficulty in dismantling windows and doors, breakages from old or poor installation, or rollers and fittings that are no longer available. Where it is discovered to be difficult and extra time is required, or specialist parts are needed, this will be advised to the customer, and the costs for same will be added to the final price.
(e)    Changes: The customer acknowledges that they will check the quote's details thoroughly (mesh, screen, colour etc.) and once approved and put into production, it is too late to make corrections or alterations. If changes are made that differ from a quote, BFR reserves the right to addend or adjust the quoted price to reflect the changes.

​

6.    ORDERS AND PRODUCTION
(a)    Acceptance by BFR: All orders are subject to acceptance by BFR. We reserve the right to reject any order at any time without recourse. 
(b)    Changes: Changes to orders must be made in writing by the customer, approved and confirmed in writing by BFR before the changes become effective. Customer is responsible for any and all incurred costs in relation to the change. 
(c)    Cancellations: Some orders cannot be cancelled, depending on whether production or shipping commenced. Cancellation requests must be in writing and confirmed in writing by BFR prior to a cancellation becoming effective. Customer is responsible for any and all costs incurred by BFR.
(d)    Orders completed over time or on hold: BFR will declare a project completed if a job is put on hold by the customer or if no response is received from a customer within 15 days. Where not a pre-paid job, an invoice for work to date will be billed, and the customer agrees to pay. If the order is cancelled, the order cancellation provisions will apply where applicable. BFR reserves the right to invoice for works to date, payable on issue, where a job is done over time.

​

7. COLOURS AND COLOUR MATCHING

(a)   Quotes submitted will specify the colour we have quoted on.

(b)   Our quotes are based on using a large range of standard aluminium colours. Black is the standard colour if not specified on the quote.

(c)   Non-standard colours are at an additional cost, and special colour matching may require powder coating at an additional cost. Be sure to specify this upfront so we can provide the right information and manage your project and budget accordingly.

(d)   It is the client’s responsibility to check this is the colour they need prior to accepting the quote (including any Body Corporate specifications). Once accepted and put into production, any changes are at the client’s cost.

(e) Colour variations: Over time with exposure to elements, powder coatings may show signs of weathering such as loss of gloss, chalking and discolouration. Further, colours on aluminium previously installed by other providers will vary depending on the factory they were made in (especially if imported from overseas), the process applied, curing times and different manuacturers who produce their own powder. In addition, there will be slight variations in samples, printed colour charts and the finished product, and some original colours may no longer be offered. Even if you know the colour, you may not get an exact match. Therefore the client accepts that we will produce the product based on the colour that they have approved in the quote using today’s high quality processes and understands and there may be slight variations in colour.

SECTION 2: INSTALATIONS

​

8.    INSTALLATIONS
(a)    Due Care and Diligence: Our services are provided with acceptable care, skill and technical knowledge, and at all times, we take all necessary steps to avoid loss and damage.
(b)    Access: It is the customer's responsibility to ensure BFR has clear and free access to the worksite at all times to enable them to undertake the works. BFR 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 BFR. Such access requires the custom to ensure that all windows and doors BFR is working on will be free of furniture, decorations, window furnishings, door furnishings, blinds, pelmets or other obstructions. If obstructions slow down or prevent us from completing works, we reserve the right to charge for the time taken or to reschedule the works until it can be clear, and accept no risk whatsoever for any breakages, chips, or damages.
(c)    Compliance: Body Corporate (or other governing body) compliance and/or inductions are the customer's responsibility and any special requirements must be sorted by the customer. Where extra works are required and undertaken, this will be advised to the customer and the costs for same will be added to the final price.

​

9.    WORKING WITH GLASS
(a)    Risk: As glass heats, it expands; as it cools, it contracts, and these processes set up stresses within glass. Property owners and managers should be aware that glass has the potential to explode, chip, smash or crack for a variety of reasons, including poor manufacturing and incorrect initial installation;
(b)    Common Causes: The most common causes of glass issues are; (i) internal defects within the glass; (ii) minor damage during initial glazier installation such as nicked or chipped edges later developing into larger breaks normally radiating from the point of defect. These do not cause immediate breakage, however over time, as the glass expands and contracts, stress concentrations can develop around the nick, leading to breakage; (iii) binding of the glass in the frame without space for expansion at the sides and top, causing stresses to develop as the glass expands and contracts due to thermal changes or deflects due to wind; (iv) panels fitted too tightly, or knocking or putting too much pressure on corners which are the pane's weakest points; (v) thermal stresses in the glass; (vi) inadequate glass thickness; (vii) imported glass that does not meet the Australian Standards (this is increasingly being used as it is often a cheaper alternative. Exploding glass is a phenomenon of toughened glass that may break or explode without apparent reason.
(c)    Limited Liability: Working with Glass carries a risk in a refurbishment, repair or reinstatement situation. We guarantee we will take all care and consideration when handling glass, however in the event that when working on the glass, it shatters or cracks, the limit of our liability in that instance is limited strictly to not charging for the work performed on that particular window, door or panel.
