TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. THE AGREEMENT

1.1 These Terms and Conditions are between the person (Client) accepting a quote issued by Z180510 Pty Ltd, ACN 617 919 105 trading as Olinga Services (Olinga Services) to perform services as set out in Olinga Services’ quote (Quote). The price in the Quote is valid for 30 days. Each Quote accepted by the Client and these Terms and Conditions form a legally binding agreement between the Client and Olinga Services.

1.2 Olinga Services reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions in the future upon notice to the Client, provided that such changes will not apply to Quotes previously accepted by the Client.

1.3 The Client agrees that these Terms and Conditions shall come into force when the Client:

  • (a) signs a Quote;
  • (b) gives Olinga Services written or verbal instructions to supply services, or otherwise accepts services of Olinga Services, subject to Olinga Services previously providing the Client with a copy of these Terms and Conditions either in respect of the Quote or otherwise.

2. SERVICES AND ACCESS REQUIREMENTS

2.1 Olinga Services will provide the Client with the services described in the Quote and other services agreed between the parties in writing (Services), subject to assumptions and exclusions set out in the Quote or otherwise agreed between the parties.

2.2 The Client will provide Olinga Services access to the property specified in the Quote and/or otherwise agreed between the parties (Property), and to all areas of the Property scheduled to be cleaned as noted under scope of service set out in the Quote or otherwise agreed between the parties (Scope of Service). Failure to do so allows Olinga Services to treat such failure as a material breach of this agreement.

2.3 Olinga Services will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that its employees, agents and contractors prevent nuisance and unnecessary noise disturbance when present at the Property.

2.4 The Client acknowledges and agrees that Olinga Services will only provide the Services during the hours agreed between the parties in writing and is not required to provide the Services outside of those hours in the circumstances where such Services are required due to any act or omission of the Client and/or any third party. If Olinga Services agrees to provide such out-of-scope services, clause 3.2 will apply.

3. FEES, ADDITIONAL SERVICES AND PAYMENT

3.1 The Client shall pay Olinga Services the Fees specified in the Quote and any other fees agreed between the parties (Fees) within 14 days of the date of invoice, unless different payment terms are specified in the Quote.

3.2 In addition to the Fees, Olinga Services is entitled to payment of:

  • (a) an additional charge in accordance with Olinga Services’ standard rates in effect from time to time in relation to any additional services requested by the Client or otherwise reasonably required to be performed for proper delivery of the Services; and
  • (b) all approved by the Client costs and expenses incurred by Olinga Services in relation to the provision of the Services.

3.3 If the Client fails to make any payment by the due date set out in this clause, then: (1) it must pay to Olinga Services on demand interest on the amount outstanding from the day payment was due until the day it is paid, at the rate 10% per annum, accruing monthly; (2) Olinga Services may suspend provision of the Services until payment is received in full; and (3) the Client will indemnify Olinga Services against and will reimburse Olinga Services for all reasonable legal expenses on a full indemnity basis and other expenses it may reasonably incur in recovering or attempting to recover payments from the Client.

3.4 Olinga Services may adjust the Fees once per each year by the greater of:

  • (a) the amount of the increase in the consumer price index over the Fees in the previous year;
  • (b) the extent of the change in cost to Olinga Services to supply the Services, which change Olinga Services was unable to mitigate by exercising reasonable commercial efforts (for example, cost of labour, changes to statutory rates, charges or benefits or changes to or the application of any relevant industrial award or instrument or variations in insurance premiums).

3.5 All Fees and any prices stated in this agreement or otherwise quoted by Olinga Services are exclusive of GST.

4. EQUIPMENT AND PRODUCTS

4.1 Unless otherwise specified in the Quote, Olinga Services will use its own equipment and products. If the Client requires Olinga Services to use specialized equipment or products, it should be noted in the Quote, otherwise an additional fee to the Client may be applied.
