Credit Clients

Invoices must be paid in full within the credit period stated on the invoice. Time is of the essence.

Any overdue amounts will attract interest at the rate of 2% per month, compounding monthly, from the due date until full payment is received.

Parramatta Cranes may suspend or refuse further work where any invoice remains unpaid, without prejudice to any other rights.

6. Liability

Parramatta Cranes is only liable for loss or damage to property or goods where such loss or damage is directly caused by our proven negligence. We are not liable for consequential, indirect, or economic loss, loss of profit, delay, or business interruption.

All liability is strictly limited to the lesser of the cost of re-performing the services or the amount paid by the client for the relevant service.

7. Subcontracting

We may subcontract any part of the services. The client may only refuse a subcontractor for valid, substantiated reasons. The client indemnifies Parramatta Cranes against all claims, losses, or expenses arising from the actions or omissions of subcontractors except where proven negligence is established.
