2. Basis of the agreement
2.1 Alpha Lewis shall sell and the Customer shall purchase the Goods, and/or (if relevant) installation shall be carried out in accordance with: (i) any written quote of Alpha Lewis which is accepted by the Customer, and subsequently confirmed by Alpha Lewis or (ii) any written order of the Customer which is accepted by Alpha Lewis, subject in either case to these terms and conditions.
These terms and conditions apply to all Alpha Lewis sales, or installations. The Customer agrees to be bound by these terms and conditions on placing any order for Goods and/or installation and placing an order is deemed acceptance of these terms and conditions.
The Warranty Schedule forms part of this agreement. Alpha Lewis will provide the Warranty Schedule to the Customer with the quote or acknowledgement of order.
2.2 No variation to these terms and conditions shall be binding unless agreed in writing between the authorised representatives of the Customer and Alpha Lewis.
2.3 - 2.5 [Not used].
2.6 Alpha Lewis catalogues, technical circulars, sales literature and other such documents are for the Customer’s general guidance only and the particulars contained in such documents shall not constitute representations by Alpha Lewis and Alpha Lewis shall not be bound thereby, nor shall they form part of this agreement.
2.7 Where technically possible and within the tolerance of materials used, the Customer’s colour balance requirements will be taken into account. In the absence of specific instructions in regard to pantone numbers or the Customer’s supplied match samples, colour balance will be at the discretion of Alpha Lewis.
2.8.Where the Customer supplies artwork, proofs, photography, typographical design components or any other materials or ideas to Alpha Lewis (Customer Materials), the Customer takes full and sole responsibility for the Customer Materials accuracy and technical suitability for purposes of completing the agreement. The Customer warrants that any use by Alpha Lewis of the Customer Materials will not infringe any third party’s rights (including intellectual property rights). Without limiting the Customer’s obligations and liability under this clause, where Alpha Lewis reasonably determines that any Customer Materials are unsuitable for its contracted purpose, Alpha Lewis may recreate it at the expense of the Customer (and Alpha Lewis will notify the Customer prior to doing so). Alpha Lewis will give the Customer an opportunity to re-supply suitable Customer Materials.
2.9 Where the Customer requests alterations to any signage specification, alterations to suit the revised specifications will be undertaken by Alpha Lewis as a variation to the agreement. Agreement variations requested or mandated by the Customer will incur additional Alpha Lewis design costs.
2.10 Artist impressions and design renderings created by or on behalf of Alpha Lewis for the purpose of illustrating how proposed signage may appear in-situ may not reflect the final version and are not to be relied on as accurate.
2.11 Alpha Lewis designs and proofs are two dimensional and presented on a flat surface to be viewed by the Customer at a relatively small size. Traditional signage installation is made onto a larger flat two dimensional surface. In circumstances where the signage application or installation surface is not flat or two dimensional, there may be variations between the two dimensional design and proof and the three dimensional curved installation. On curved and uneven surfaces, Alpha Lewis, at its own discretion, may make minor adjustments to optimise readability or alignment.

(viii) any required special permits, including council permits or engineer calculations including Dial Before You Dig locator service.

3.2 The Customer shall be responsible to Alpha Lewis for ensuring the accuracy of the terms of any order (including any applicable specification) which the Customer is responsible for ensuring is submitted by the Customer, and for giving Alpha Lewis any necessary information relating to the Goods or installation within a reasonable time to enable Alpha Lewis to perform the agreement in accordance with its terms. Where artwork proofs are submitted to the Customer for the Customer’s approval, Alpha Lewis shall incur no liability for errors which should reasonably be identified by the Customer which are not so identified.

3.6 No order which has been accepted by Alpha Lewis may be cancelled by the Customer except with the agreement in writing of Alpha Lewis and on terms that the Customer shall indemnify Alpha Lewis in full against all loss (including loss of profit), costs (including the cost of all labour and materials used), damages, charges and expenses incurred by Alpha Lewis as a result of cancellation (unless otherwise set out in this agreement).
3.7 Alpha Lewis shall not be required to process any order which in its opinion is or may be of an illegal or defamatory nature and the Customer shall indemnify Alpha Lewis on demand against any loss, damages, costs and expenses awarded against or incurred by Alpha Lewis in connection with supplying Goods under this agreement that may be illegal or defamatory.

7. Warranties and liability
7.1 If a supply under this agreement is a supply of goods or services to a consumer within the meaning of the Australian Consumer Law (Sch 2 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth)), nothing contained in this agreement excludes, restricts or modifies the application of any provision, the exercise of any right or remedy, or the imposition of any liability under the Australian Consumer Law or any other statute where to do so would contravene the statute or cause any term of this agreement to be void (Non-excludable Obligation).
7.1.1 In relation to Non-excludable Obligations (other than a guarantee as to title, encumbrances or quiet possession conferred by the Australian Consumer Law), except for goods or services of a kind ordinarily acquired for personal, domestic or household use or consumption (in respect of which, Alpha Lewis’ liability is not so limited under this clause), Alpha Lewis’ liability to the Customer is limited to:
(a) in the case of services, the cost of supplying the services again or payment of the cost of having the services supplied again; and
(b) in the case of goods, the cost of replacing the goods, supplying equivalent goods or having goods repaired, or payment of the cost of replacing the goods, supplying equivalent goods or having the goods repaired.

7.3 Neither party will be liable under this agreement to the extent that liability is caused by:
(a) the other party’s breach of its obligations under this agreement or its negligent act or omission; or
(b) any delay in performance or breach of this agreement which arises as a result of any matter beyond its control (including, fire, flood, earthquake, severe weather or other natural events, strikes, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions, quarantines, pandemics, epidemics, embargoes and other similar government actions).
