  • Required permits, clearances, or isolations are not in place.

• Client Responsibility: The Client must ensure safe access to the worksite, including clear work areas, compliance with site inductions, and provision of necessary information about hazards.

• Delays for Safety: Any delays caused by unsafe conditions or weather will not constitute a breach of contract. Additional costs incurred due to rescheduling may be charged to the Client.

4. Quotes, Estimates & Variations

• All quotes are valid for 30 days unless otherwise stated.

• Quotes are based on information provided by the Client. If conditions differ, additional charges may apply.

• Variations must be agreed in writing before additional work is undertaken.

5. Payment Terms

• A deposit may be required before commencement of work, particularly for projects involving significant upfront costs (materials, equipment hire, subcontractors).

• Unless otherwise agreed, payment terms are [e.g., 7 or 14 days] from the date of invoice.

• Late payments may incur interest at [X% per month] and recovery costs.

• Ownership of goods and materials supplied remains with Sydney Street Electrical until full payment is received.

6. Cancellations & Rescheduling

• If the Client cancels a job after acceptance, Sydney Street Electrical reserves the right to charge for:

  • Materials already purchased.

  • Labour already performed.

  • Indirect, incidental, or consequential loss.

  • Delays caused by weather, supply chain issues, or third-party contractors.

9. Products & Online Sales

11. Intellectual Property

All content on our website, including text, graphics, logos, and images, is the property of Sydney Street Electrical unless otherwise stated. You may not reproduce or use content without prior written consent.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of NSW.

Exactly — that’s a smart move. Adding a “Client Responsibilities” section directly beneath your Terms & Conditions keeps everything in one place, reinforces your safety-first stance, and gives clients a clear checklist to avoid misunderstandings. Here’s a professional draft you can slot in as Section 13 (or immediately after your Governing Law section):
