1. Scope and Acceptance

  • By requesting, accepting, or paying for our services, you agree to these terms.
  • Any quote, proposal, invoice, or approved variation forms part of the service contract.
  • If there is a conflict between these terms and a signed project agreement, the signed agreement prevails.

2. Quotes, Pricing, and Variations

  • Quotes are valid for the period shown on the quote, or 30 days if no period is shown.
  • Prices may change where scope, access, materials, third-party requirements, or site conditions change.
  • Variations will be documented and charged in addition to the original contract price.
  • Unless stated otherwise, GST is additional where applicable.

3. Deposits and Payment

  • We may require a deposit before procurement, scheduling, or works begin.
  • Progress payments may apply for staged projects.
  • Invoices are payable by the due date shown on the invoice.
  • Late payments may incur administration, recovery, and reasonable legal costs.

4. Site Access and Client Responsibilities

  • You must provide safe and timely access to the worksite and relevant service information.
  • You must advise us of known underground services, hazards, and site restrictions before work starts.
  • You must ensure any required owner, landlord, body corporate, network, or council approvals are in place unless we have agreed in writing to manage these.
  • You are responsible for maintaining clear access and suitable conditions for installation.

5. Delivery, Timeframes, and Delays

  • Delivery and completion dates are estimates unless expressly confirmed in writing.
  • Delays caused by weather, approvals, supply chain events, site readiness, safety issues, or third parties may extend project timing.
  • We are not liable for delay-related loss where delay is outside our reasonable control.

6. Risk, Title, and Installed Equipment

  • Risk in goods passes on delivery to site.
  • Title in goods remains with Solar Electrix until all amounts due are paid in full.
  • You must insure delivered or installed goods against theft, loss, and damage from delivery onward.

7. Warranties and Defects

  • Manufacturer warranties apply to products supplied.
  • Workmanship warranty applies as stated in your quote or contract documentation.
  • Warranty claims require prompt notice and reasonable access for inspection and remedy.
  • Warranties may be void where systems are modified, misused, poorly maintained, or altered by unapproved third parties.

8. Performance and Technical Limitations

  • System performance depends on site-specific factors including weather, shading, network voltage, load profile, and equipment operation.
  • Where electricity network constraints affect generation or export, remedies may require action by the relevant network operator.
  • Estimated savings and payback are indicative only unless expressly guaranteed in writing.

9. Liability

  • To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss (including lost profits or business interruption).
  • Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount paid for the affected services, unless otherwise required by law.
  • Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot be excluded under New Zealand law.

10. Cancellation and Suspension

  • If you cancel after acceptance, we may charge for work performed, committed materials, and reasonable cancellation costs.
  • We may suspend or cancel services for non-payment, safety concerns, or material breach.
  • Where construction contract rules apply, statutory rights to suspend work for non-payment are reserved.

11. Privacy and Data Handling

  • Personal information is handled in line with our Privacy Policy and applicable New Zealand privacy law.
  • Website and form use may involve cookies and service providers needed for operations and support.

12. Governing Law

  • These terms are governed by New Zealand law.
  • Disputes are subject to New Zealand jurisdiction unless otherwise agreed.
For project-specific legal or technical terms, your signed proposal and final contract documents apply.
