Version: 12 September 2026
“Premier” means Jason Huntly (ABN 90 211 972 077), trading as Premier Painting & Maintenance ACT. “Customer” means the person or entity named on the quote.
These terms, the quote, its scope, exclusions and any approved written variations form the agreement between Premier and the Customer.
Subject to any legal requirement for a particular form of contract, the Customer accepts the agreement by accepting the quote electronically, signing it, confirming acceptance by email or text message, paying the deposit, or instructing Premier to commence work.
A person accepting on behalf of a company, trust, property owner or other entity confirms that they have authority to do so. If two or more Customers are named and accept the quote, they are jointly and severally responsible for their obligations.
Unless otherwise stated, the quote is valid for 30 days. Pricing includes GST only where shown.
The quoted price covers only the work specifically described. Measurements and quantities described as approximate are provided for estimating and scope-identification purposes.
A proposed commencement date is not secured until the quote has been accepted, any required deposit has cleared, colours and products have been confirmed and the site is ready.
Only surfaces and work expressly identified in the quote are included. Any item not expressly included is excluded.
Unless specifically included, the price does not cover major plaster repairs, replacement of rotten or damaged material, structural repairs, rectification of water leaks or moisture, mould remediation, asbestos or lead-paint removal, electrical or plumbing work, removal of fixed fittings, scaffolding, access equipment, specialist cleaning or work by other trades.
Preparation is limited to the preparation described in the quote and defects reasonably visible during the quotation inspection.
The Customer must provide Premier with safe and reasonable access to the work areas, electricity, water, toilet access and any agreed parking or access arrangements.
Unless otherwise stated, the Customer must remove or securely protect furniture, curtains, blinds, valuables, fragile items, personal belongings and pets before work commences.
The Customer must disclose known hazards, asbestos, lead paint, water leaks, moisture problems, structural movement, previous coating failures and any other condition that may affect the work or site safety.
If the site is not ready or safe, Premier may postpone the work. Reasonable waiting, additional attendance, storage or remobilisation costs caused by the Customer may be treated as a variation after notice is given.
The quote is based on conditions reasonably visible at the time of inspection. Premier may stop affected work if concealed damage, widespread coating failure, rot, moisture, mould, asbestos, lead paint, structural movement, unsafe conditions or additional preparation requirements are discovered.
Premier will notify the Customer and provide a proposed variation before undertaking additional work, except for minimum urgent work reasonably necessary to protect people or property.
The Customer is responsible for approving colours, sheen levels and finishes before application. Changes after approval may require additional labour and materials and will be treated as a variation.
Dark, bright, strong or significant colour changes may require additional coats. Additional coats beyond those stated in the quote require written approval and additional payment.
Existing paint naturally changes through age, fading and wear. Touch-ups and colour matching will be completed to a reasonable standard, but an exact match in colour, sheen or texture cannot be guaranteed. Repainting the complete wall, ceiling, door or other surface may be required to achieve a consistent finish.
Any commencement or completion date is an estimate unless expressly stated to be fixed.
Premier is entitled to a reasonable extension for weather, unsuitable temperature or humidity, drying time, material shortages, illness, safety issues, concealed conditions, variations, restricted access, delays caused by the Customer or other trades, and circumstances outside Premier’s reasonable control.
Changes to the scope, colours, products, access arrangements or preparation requirements must be agreed in writing, including electronically where legally permitted.
The variation should identify the additional or reduced work, price adjustment and any expected effect on the completion date. Premier is not required to undertake additional work until the variation has been approved.
Any deposit shown on the quote is part-payment of the contract price. Work dates and materials may not be confirmed or ordered until the deposit clears.
If the Customer cancels for reasons not caused by Premier’s breach, the Customer must pay for work properly completed, non-returnable or specially ordered materials, reasonable demobilisation costs and other direct losses reasonably incurred because of the cancellation, less costs Premier reasonably saves. Any remaining deposit balance will be refunded.
Nothing in this clause limits a statutory cooling-off or cancellation right.
Deposits, progress payments and final payments are payable according to the schedule in the quote. If no different period is stated, invoices are due within seven calendar days.
Final payment becomes due at practical completion. Practical completion occurs when the quoted work is substantially complete and usable for its intended purpose, despite minor omissions or defects that do not prevent normal use.
The Customer must pay the undisputed portion of an invoice by its due date. Minor outstanding items do not permit the Customer to withhold the entire invoice.
After written notice, overdue undisputed amounts may accrue simple interest at 10% per annum, calculated daily from the due date. The Customer must also pay reasonable external debt-recovery, filing and enforcement costs actually incurred by Premier, but only to the extent permitted by law or awarded by a court or tribunal.
If an undisputed payment remains overdue after written demand, Premier may suspend work by giving at least two business days’ written notice.
Premier will be entitled to a reasonable extension of time and reasonable demobilisation and remobilisation costs resulting from the suspension. This does not limit any other lawful remedy.
The Customer should inspect the work at practical completion and notify Premier of apparent concerns within five business days. Latent concerns should be reported promptly after discovery. These notification periods do not remove or shorten any non-excludable statutory rights.
Premier must be given reasonable access to inspect a reported concern and, for a problem that can lawfully be rectified, a reasonable opportunity to complete that rectification.
The Customer should not engage another contractor and seek reimbursement from Premier unless the work is urgent, Premier has refused or failed to rectify the problem within a reasonable time, or the Customer is otherwise entitled to do so by law.
Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any consumer guarantee, statutory warranty or other right that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Premier warrants its workmanship against defects for two years from the date of practical completion. This warranty is in addition to, and does not limit, any consumer guarantee or statutory warranty that applies and cannot lawfully be excluded. Where a statutory period is longer, the statutory period applies.
Premier remains responsible for defects caused by its workmanship or materials it supplies. Premier is not responsible to the extent a failure is caused by:
These exclusions do not apply where Premier’s own breach or negligence caused or contributed to the problem.
Premier may use suitably experienced employees or subcontractors to perform the work and remains responsible for performance of its contractual obligations.
Unless separately itemised as goods supplied to the Customer, unopened or surplus materials purchased as part of a fixed-price job remain Premier’s property.
Premier will take reasonable care of the property and is responsible for damage caused by its negligence.
Premier is not responsible for pre-existing damage or for damage to completed work caused by the Customer, occupants, pets, weather exposure before adequate drying, removal of protection, or other trades. Rectification of such damage will be treated as additional work.
A party raising a dispute must provide written details of the issue and the outcome sought. The parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve the matter through discussion and allow a reasonable opportunity for inspection and rectification.
If the dispute cannot be resolved, either party may refer it to the regulator, mediation service, tribunal or court having jurisdiction. This clause does not prevent urgent proceedings or the exercise of a statutory right.
The agreement is governed by the laws applying where the work site is located. If any term is unlawful or unenforceable, it will be read down or severed to the minimum extent necessary without affecting the remaining terms.
