let me state first of im not a solictor far from it. but i have had some legal advise as to what boundries i can push on the above.
ive decided to post some snippets of whats on my t&c's for you guys to take to YOUR OWN solictor to get advice. My guy owed me a favour so i got it for free but im sure it wouldnt add to much should you guys wish to do the same.
On the bottom of all my qoutation forms it says something LIKE the following but you will need to seek or change it to suit your own services and or agreements.
"All garden work conducted by..............is subject to weather premitting and any or all of the companys prior comitments for that day.The owner/client shall profide a safe working area with no debry present at the time of work being carried out by the contrator. Due to queensland ohsa practices the owner/client shall profide a feces free lawn and garden area for the contrator to do his required duties. should there be animal feces at the time of services conducted by the contractor the contractor will add a $8.50 surcharge per animail feces at the worksite. All due care shall be taken by the contrator at the worksite but no resposnabilty will be taken for the following. Windows, modes of transport, cars ,bikes, trailers, and any or other items left within the working are for the contractor.
Any damage done by ................. will need to be advised within 24 hours of the procived damage date or the damage will be considered as waived for resposabilty.
The cilent agrees to all the above terms and conditions stated and waives ................... from any further court proceedings.
So from there maybe you guys could take that information to YOUR solictor and have him draft something similar to that. I have left out the following points as i dont want them on a public forum
- Sevice agreement 2 to 3 weeks t&c's
-quotations vaildation terms
- Weather/Catch up cleints agreement
-invoicing payment options
-administration fees and charges
-Misc charges
-jsea, sop, saftey docs
So with that now posted i would consider that im being really fair and being a team player...whats that old saying " you can lead a horse to water" well drink up boys!!!!
Good luck and i hope this helps someone
