Prices included in Quotations and Proposals are based on Limex’s current cost of production.

Agency arrangements
If you contract Limex on behalf of any other person i.e. other than for you personally, you warrant that you are authorised to enter into a contract on behalf of such person and that you will be liable for all costs irrespective of whether or not the details of such other person are disclosed to Limex.

You agree to indemnify Limex against any claim (of any nature) by any Client of yours which arises as a direct or indirect consequence of your use, or inability or unwillingness to use, the material delivered by Limex to you.

On the valid acceptance of a Proposal, Limex will, where applicable, confirm the proposed process, timeline and delivery date for the performance of the Project.
Costs and Fees
All prices are based on work specified in the Quotations and/or Proposals and/or further instructions given by you. The labour costs specified in Limex’s Quotations and/or Proposals are based either on an hourly rate or on a Project basis. On occasion, where requested by a Client, Limex may consider a retainer arrangement.
You will be liable for any goods and services tax payable on the supply of Goods and/or Services by Limex to you. GST will be charged in addition to costs and fees and will be itemised in the Invoices.
Emergency turnaround requirements of less than 72 hours, and out of business hour requirements, will attract a premium, which will be negotiated and agreed with you. Prices will be increased to cover overtime work or other additional costs incurred as a result of any requirement for urgent completion of a Project.
Payment Terms
All Invoices will be payable COD unless prior credit arrangements have been agreed with Limex.
Any deposit specified in the Proposal must be paid by you prior to commencement of work on the Project and is non-refundable.

Limex may issue an Invoice for the amount specified in the Quotation and/or Proposal before commencing the Project where Limex has not previously carried out work for you or where Limex considers it prudent to do so. Limex may, in the event that Limex is of the view that completing the Project will take more than a month, at any time before the Project is completed, issue one or more Invoices for a proportion of the amount specified in the Quotation and/or Proposal (the proportion to be at Limex’s discretion) and require that proportion to be paid in advance of any further work being done.
Late or Non-Payment
If an Invoice is not paid when due, Limex may cease any further work on the Project until all outstanding Invoices have been paid.
Limex may at its discretion charge interest on amounts not paid when due. Such interest is to be calculated on a daily basis from the date any such amount should have been paid
until the date of payment. Such interest will be payable at a rate equal to that charged by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia on overdrafts not exceeding $100,000, plus 4%.
You must pay to Limex any costs, expenses or losses incurred by Limex as a result of your failure to pay all sums outstanding from you to Limex (including without limitation all debt collection and legal costs (on an indemnity basis)) which are incurred by Limex in recovering monies due by you to Limex.
