Terms and conditions

Additional Payment Conditions

Due to the current heightened financial risks particularly in the construction industry, the following

additional Payment Conditions exist if credit is approved:

  1. Insurances

Payment Terms #3 and #4 above are subject to Workstations ability to insure the customer’s Invoice.

Where credit cannot be insured through Atradius ( https://atradius.com.au) full payment may be

required upon order or prior to manufacturing commencement.

  1. Security on Deposits

For large projects Workstations can supply PPSR (https://www.ppsr.gov.au) on the goods so that you have

security as a risk mitigation on your deposit if required. If a Bank Guarantee is required by the

customer as a security against the Deposit paid, Workstations will require a customer Bank Guarantee to

the full value of the Contract to cover Workstations’ risk and working capital needs on your project.

  1. Retentions

Any agreed Contract Retention is only available during delivery phase and only until final invoicing.

Workstations product warranty far exceeds normal construction industry retentions. No ongoing retention

is available unless supported by customer Bank Guarantee

NOTE: ALL PRICING IS EX GST
