Terms & Conditions - the basics

Scope and Exclusions:
Items not specifically listed are deemed exclusions and any change in scope requires written submission (Brighton Painting is not liable for costs resulting from exclusions or variations). Written instruction will override verbal instruction.

Site access:
Safe site access to be provided with obstruction and disruption free conditions.

Site preparation:
Personal belongings, furniture, and wall hangings to be cleared from site prior to work commencing (Brighton Painting isn’t responsible for removal, reinstallation, or subsequent possible damage should site not be cleared).

Substrate condition:
We endeavour to provide tier one services however work does not include replacement or full restoration to substrates hence final finish may reflect pre-existing imperfections.

We take no responsibility for outcome where materials are supplied by client.

Defect liability period:
Under consumer law "Goods and services must be provided with due care and skill, fit for purpose, and of acceptable quality based on what a reasonable person would expect."

All work is inspected from a standing position at approximately 1.5 metre distance and under normal lighting conditions, in line with industry guidelines and fair practice. Brighton Painting reserves photographic rights.

Brighton Painting offers a 1 day post-completion defect liability period for small 1-7 day jobs and a 3 day post-completion defect liability period for jobs 8 days or more. Claims made in bad faith and minor cosmetic issues that do not materially affect the finish, durability, or functionality of the work will not be treated as defects for the purposes of withholding payment. Provided full invoice payment has been made, any qualifying issues will be addressed promptly.

Completion is defined as all work as described in the agreed scope having been carried out to a professional industry standard.

Payments:
Withholding progress payments gives Brighton Painting the right to immediately suspend works without penalty or liability. Any late payments incur fees following 14 days of non payment at 2.5% unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Payments are due on receipt. Brighton Painting may choose to delay, pause or withhold services should payments not be made (payments later than 14 days after due date will incur a 5% weekly compounding fee unless otherwise agreed).

Termination by Client:
If the Client unilaterally cancels, repudiates, or otherwise seeks to terminate an agreement before completion of the Works, the Client shall remain liable for the full Contract Price as if the Works had been completed in full. And any balance outstanding shall become immediately due and payable upon the date of the purported termination.
