(e) Link to Disbursements — For clarity, no disbursement under Clause 9 (Disbursements) shall be made until the Works are deemed completed in accordance with this Clause.

7. INVOICING FOR WORKS WHICH ARE EXEMPT FROM CONTRACTOR LICENSING REQUIREMENTS

Each State and Territory in Australia prescribes a monetary threshold for building works that can be undertaken without a contractor’s licence (for example, in Queensland the current limit is AUD $3,300 in Queensland, ex cept where a licence is always required for regulated trades such as plumbing and electrical). This clause applies to all Works that fall below the relevant prescribed threshold or are otherwise exempt from contractor licensing requirements. To be a valid invoice for payment, your invoice must contain;

(a) a detailed description of the Works once completed;

(b) the invoice made out to PropertyTeams.com.au Pty Ltd

(b) The invoice will be in compliance with the Australian Tax office requirements and will clearly show the Contractors ABN, GST status and date the invoice was created;

(c) The invoice must contain enough banking details of the Contractor so PT can perform a Direct Deposit into the Contractors bank account.

(d) The Contractor will supply a minimum of two before & two after photo’s clearly showing the works completed;

(e) Issue the invoice no later than 30 days after the completion of the Works.

8. INVOICING FOR WORKS WHICH REQUIRE A CONTARCTORS LICENSE

Each State and Territory in Australia prescribes a monetary limit above which a contractor’s licence is required for building works. In addition, certain regulated trades such as plumbing and electrical work require a contractor’s licence regardless of the value of the Works. This clause applies to all Works that exceed the prescribed licensing threshold or otherwise require a contractor’s licence under the applicable State or Territory legislation. To be a valid invoice to receieve payment, your invoice must contain;

(a) a detailed description of the Works once completed;

(b) the invoice made out to The Owner of [Property address] Co/ PropertyTeams.com.au

(b) The invoice will be in compliance with the Australian Tax office requirements and will clearly show the Contractors ABN, GST status and date the invoice was created;

(c) The invoice must contain enough banking details of the Contractor so PT can perform a Direct Deposit into the Contractors bank account.

(d) The Contractor will supply a minimum of two before & two after photo’s clearly showing the works completed;

(e) Issue the invoice no later than 30 days after the completion of the Works.

(f) Contain your state or territory valid license number.

• i. The Works have been fully completed in accordance with Clause 6 (Works Completion); and
• ii. A valid invoice has been supplied in accordance with Clause 7 (Invoicing for Works Exempt from Contractor Licensing Requirements) or Clause 8 (Invoicing for Works Which Require a Contractor’s Licence), as applicable.

(c) If the 2nd or 16th day of the month falls on a weekend or a recognised public holiday, disbursements will be processed on the next business day.

(d) Right to Withhold — PT may withhold part or all of a disbursement where:

• i. there are unresolved defects in the Works;
• ii. the Works are incomplete; or
• iii. there is a dispute regarding the Contractor’s entitlement to payment.

Any withheld amounts will be released once the issue is resolved to the Lessors reasonable satisfaction.

(e) Relationship to Deposits — Disbursements under this Clause are separate from, and in addition to, any deposit payments made under Clause 4 (Deposits). Deposit payments shall not be treated as disbursements, and vice versa.

(f) No Waiver of Rights — No disbursement shall be taken as acceptance of defective, incomplete, or non-compliant Works. PT retains the right to require rectification of any such Works notwithstanding that a disbursement has been made.

10. DISPURSEMENT DELAYS

(a) If the Contractor fails to provide the required before-and-after photographs, any disbursement to the Contractor will be delayed until the Client has paid PT in full, subject to the Client’s payment terms and conditions. The Contractor acknowledges that this delay may extend beyond thirty (30) days.

(b) If the Contractor fails to provide PT with a valid invoice within thirty (30) days of completion of the Works, PT reserves the right to issue an invoice to the Client directly. In such circumstances, PT will disburse to the Contractor an amount that PT reasonably deems fair for the Works provided, subject always to the conditions set out in Clause 9 (Disbursements) and the prescribed limits set out in sub-clause (d) below. The Contractor shall have no claim against PT for any shortfall in payment resulting from the application of such prescribed limits.

(c) Administrative Costs — Where disbursement delays are caused by the Contractor’s failure to supply required photographs, invoices, or other documentation on time, PT may deduct from any future disbursement a reasonable administrative fee reflecting the additional time and costs incurred by PT in managing the delay, including the preparation and issue of invoices to the Client.

(d) Prescribed Licensing Limits — Where PT is required to issue an invoice under sub-clause (b), the maximum amount that can be invoiced to the Client (and therefore disbursed to the Contractor) will be capped at the applicable State or Territory prescribed limit for unlicensed works. The Contractor acknowledges and accepts that this may result in payment significantly less than the amount that would otherwise have been invoiced had a valid Contractor’s licence been held and/or a valid invoice supplied.

(e) Cross-Reference to Invoicing Clauses — For clarity, the requirements of Clause 7 (Invoicing for Works Exempt from Contractor Licensing Requirements) and Clause 8 (Invoicing for Works Which Require a Contractor’s Licence) apply in full. Failure to comply with those requirements may trigger the consequences set out in this Clause 10.

11. DEFECTS WARRANTY AFTER WORKS COMPLETION

(a) The Contractor must promptly and without cost to PT or the Lessor make good any defects or omissions in the Works that become apparent following completion.

(b) Upon PT and the Lessor determining that the Works have been satisfactorily completed, a Defects Liability Period of no less than six (6) months shall commence.

If the Contractor still does not comply, PT may engage others to complete or remedy the defect, and recover the cost from the Contractor. PT may also charge a service/administration rate of AUD $135 ex GST per hour (or such other rate agreed in writing) for time spent managing, supervising or rectifying the defect (after issue of notice).

(e) All warranty or defect work shall comply with relevant statutory warranties, building codes, licensing requirements, and any applicable State or Territory legislation.
