At ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s sole discretion, the Price shall be either:
as indicated on any invoice provided by ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD to the Customer; or
ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s quoted price (subject to clause 5.2) which will be valid for the period stated in the quotation or otherwise for a period of thirty (30) days.

if a variation to the Services originally scheduled (including any applicable plans or specifications) is requested; or
if during the course of the Services, the Parts are not or cease to be available from ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s third party suppliers, then ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD reserves the right to provide alternative Parts; or

in the event of increases to ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD in the cost of labour or materials which are beyond ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s control.
Variations will be charged for on the basis of ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s quotation, and will be detailed in writing, and shown as variations on ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s invoice. The Customer shall be required to respond to any variation submitted by ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD within ten (10) working days.

At ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s sole discretion, a deposit may be required.
Time for payment for the Parts being of the essence, the Price will be payable by the Customer on the date/s determined by ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD, which may be:
on Delivery of the Parts;
by way of instalments/progress payments in accordance with ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s payment schedule;

ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD may in its discretion allocate any payment received from the Customer towards any invoice that ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD determines and may do so at the time of receipt or at any time afterwards. On any default by the Customer ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD may re-allocate any payments previously received and allocated. In the absence of any payment allocation by ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD, payment will be deemed to be allocated in such manner as preserves the maximum value of ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s Purchase Money Security Interest (as defined in the PPSA) in the Parts.
The Customer shall not be entitled to set off against, or deduct from the Price, any sums owed or claimed to be owed to the Customer by ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD nor to withhold payment of any invoice because part of that invoice is in dispute.
Unless otherwise stated the Price does not include GST. In addition to the Price, the Customer must pay to ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD an amount equal to any GST ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD must pay for any supply by ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD under this or any other agreement for the sale of the Parts. The Customer must pay GST, without deduction or set off of any other amounts, at the same time and on the same basis as the Customer pays the Price. In addition, the Customer must pay any other taxes and duties that may be applicable in addition to the Price except where they are expressly included in the Price.
Additional Charges
In the event that ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD is required to provide the Services urgently which may require ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s staff to work outside normal business hours (including but not limited to working, through lunch breaks, weekends and/or Public Holidays) then ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD reserves the right to charge the Customer additional travel and labour costs (penalty rates will apply) and Parts, unless otherwise agreed between ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD and the Customer.
Where ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD is requested to store the Customer’s vehicle/machinery, or where the vehicle or machinery is not collected within twenty-four (24) hours of advice to the Customer that it is ready for collection, then ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD (at its sole discretion) may charge a reasonable fee per day for storage.
For roadside or on-site assistance, a minimum call-out fee shall be applicable, which shall be increased for any after-hours call-outs. Additionally, all Services provided shall be charged for at an hourly-basis unless agreed upon by the Customer and ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD.
If ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD has been requested by the Customer to diagnose a fault that requires disassembly and/or testing, all costs involved will be charged to the Customer irrespective of whether or not the repair goes ahead.
If a vehicle or component is submitted for repair under a warranty or insurance claim, and the claim is declined or payment delayed, the Customer is liable for payment and agrees to pay for any such repair.
Services completed under warranty or insurance claims will not cover consumables (including, but not limited to, lubricants, fuel, brake fluids, coolants, tyres, brake pads, air filters, etc.). Any consumables used during the Services shall be charged for as a variation in accordance with clause 5.2.
Delivery of Parts
Delivery (“Delivery”) of the Parts is taken to occur at the time that:
the Customer or the Customer’s nominated carrier takes possession of the Parts at ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s address; or
ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD (or ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s nominated carrier) delivers the Parts to the Customer’s nominated address even if the Customer is not present at the address.
At ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s sole discretion, the cost of Delivery is either included in the Price or is in addition to the Price.
ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD may deliver the Parts in separate instalments. Each separate instalment shall be invoiced and paid in accordance with the provisions in these terms and conditions.
Any time specified by ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD for Delivery of the Parts is an estimate only and ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD will not be liable for any loss or damage incurred by the Customer as a result of Delivery being late. However both parties agree that they shall make every endeavour to enable the Parts to be delivered at the time and place as was arranged between both parties. In the event that ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD is unable to supply the Parts as agreed solely due to any action or inaction of the Customer, then ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD shall be entitled to charge a reasonable fee for redelivery and/or storage.
Risk
Risk of damage to or loss of the Parts passes to the Customer on Delivery and the Customer must insure the Parts on or before Delivery.
If any of the Parts are damaged or destroyed following Delivery but prior to ownership passing to the Customer, ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD is entitled to receive all insurance proceeds payable for the Parts. The production of these terms and conditions by ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD is sufficient evidence of ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s rights to receive the insurance proceeds without the need for any person dealing with ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD to make further enquiries.
If the Customer requests ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD to leave Parts outside ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s premises for collection or to deliver the Parts to an unattended location, then such Parts shall be left at the Customer’s sole risk.

ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD shall not be responsible for:
the loss of or damage to the vehicle, its accessories or contents while garaged, being serviced or being driven in connection with the work authorised unless caused by the negligence of ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD or ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s employees; and
any defect, deterioration and/or damage to the Parts if the Customer does not follow ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s recommendations.
The Customer acknowledges and accepts that:
Parts supplied may exhibit variations in shade, colour, texture, surface and finish, and may fade or change colour over time.

where ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD has performed temporary repairs on the vehicle that:
ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD offers no guarantee against the reoccurrence of the initial fault, or any further damage caused; and
ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD will immediately advise the Customer of the fault and shall provide the Customer with an estimate for the full repair required.
The Customer also acknowledges and accepts that ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD shall be entitled to:
retain any components replaced during the provision of the Services; and
the right to retain all proceeds obtained from the sale of such components to any auto recycler or salvage yard.
Testing of Vehicles or Parts
ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD or its employees may test drive or carry out tests on the vehicle or Parts at ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD’s discretion. ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD will not be liable for (and the Customer indemnifies ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD against) any damages caused to, or by, the vehicle or Parts during such tests, collecting or delivery unless it arises from the recklessness or wilful misconduct of ROSMUL MECHANICAL PTY LTD or its employees.
