7.1 PROTECTION OF REPUTATION - MUTUAL NON-DISPARAGEMENT

Each party agrees not to disparage or otherwise bring into disrepute or otherwise cause any injury or potential injury or damage to the good name and standing of the other, either orally or in writing.

For purposes of this Section, “disparage” shall mean any negative statement, whether written or oral, about Adelaide Oven Repairs. The parties agree the term "disparaging" is broader than the term "defamatory." and can mean "anything that detracts or discredits," or "to bring discredit or reproach upon; to dishonour, discredit, defame; to lower in credit or esteem."

The Parties agree that it would be impossible, impractical or difficult to acertain actual damages suffered by publication of disparaging public material. Therefore the person(s) breaching this non disparage clause accordingly hereby agrees that two thousand dollars ($2,000) shall be minimum costs incurred to undertake an action to remedy/remove said material. The full damages will only be realised when a court order is handed down. Those disparaging statement(s)/materials shall be determined in the first instance by the party being offended. Such breach will be pursuant to the terms and conditions of section 7 herein, to have occurred, without prejudice to the rights of either party to also seek injunctive or other equitable relief.

The parties agree and acknowledge that this non-disparagement provision is a material term of this Agreement, the absence of which would have resulted in the Company refusing to enter into this Agreement.

7.2 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

The parties agree that if a breach were to occur, it would be difficult to determine actual damages;

The parties agree that legal fees, lodgement, court/mediation appearance(s), lost paid work makes $2000.00 a reasonable estimation of the minimum costs of the damages that would accrue if a breach occurred; and all parties agree that the amount of liquidated damages is fair and reasonable and would not act as a penalty to the breaching party.

7.3 NOT A CUSTOMER

If you have not bought goods and/or services you are not a customer yet! As such, to publish any 'customer review' about the company without its express permission that might be considered disparaging or derogatory or may cause harm, loss or damage to the company will be treated as "injurious falsehood" whereupon the company at its discretion will take any action it feels necessary to ensure the published 'customer review' is removed and costs/damages recovered.

The Customer hereby agrees to follow this dispute resolution procedure.

Before the Customer commences any legal proceedings or other external means to reach a resolution in relation to a dispute arising out of or in connection with the contract, the parties must follow the following escalation procedure: The Customer must notify the Company in writing advising of:

Their reasons for its dissatisfaction (Issue); and

Their preferred resolution to the dispute; and

21.2. Obsolete spare parts from our suppliers to repair the appliance, then we may be unable to fix your appliance. Under such circumstances you will still be charged the full labour and material rate for any work done.

21.3. Full Access is required so that the appliance is fully accessible (e.g. able to be moved from under a work surface). If your appliance is not reasonably accessible to facilitate the repairs, we reserve the right to abort the repair. In such instances we reserve the right to charge you the full labour rate. If we are unable to move the appliance without damaging the surrounding fascia we will not be held liable for any resultant damage. If the customer expressly wishes us to be responsible for any such like eventuality, they must seek the attending Technician’s agreement before any attempt is made to repair, remove, install or handle the same.

21.4. Cabinet makers, Carpenters and other kitchen equipment installers regularly install appliances without proper thought to future access requirements. This means panels such as kick-boards are glued in place or other methods unknown or unseen until the panels are removed. Often this means damage is done when removing them. If the customer expressly wishes us to be responsible for any such like eventuality, they must seek the attending Technician’s agreement before any attempt is made to repair, remove, install or handle the same.

21.5 Normal course or repairs include disassembling or removing of parts which can incur/increase damage to the part/appliance and its associated components. Disassembling or removing rusted bolts/screws for instance can require more drastic methods such as heating or drilling or sometimes shear force. Damage removing parts is sometimes unable to be predicted until after the fact. If the customer expressly wishes us to be responsible for any such like eventuality, they must seek the attending Technician’s agreement before any attempt is made to repair, remove, install or handle the same.

21.6 Customer’s attempted repairs often lead to more difficult diagnosis and repair. If we find that the customer has attempted repairs, we will not provide any warranty where we believe that attempt to undertake the repairs has impaired our ability to remedy the issue.

21.7 The age/condition of an appliance is a big factor in deciding whether to proceed to complete any repair. Sometimes the age/condition of the appliance make it uneconomical to proceed. We will in these cases undertake the repairs, but if the customer expressly wishes us to be responsible for any such work, they must seek the attending Technician’s agreement before any attempt is made to proceed with an uneconomical repair. We reserve the right to refuse to complete any repair we believe will have a high probability of failure before any warranty period may end. If the customer wishes to proceed to undertake such a repair they do so at their own risk.

21.8 Unintended consequences are those we cannot have reasonable been expected to foresee during the course of any repair. Replacing appliances back into position might mean that hoses are kinked, or flexible wiring can be trapped/damaged, connections disturbed causing leaks etc. Newly fitted electronic parts may be unexpectedly damaged by other faulty parts. Adelaide Oven Repairs will in so far as we can reasonably foresee any "unintended consequences" bring those to your attention for your instruction. However, we expressly exclude consequential liability to the full extent available by law. We only agree to undertake any repair work on the understanding the Customer waive any claim the consequence of any unintended consequences. If the Customer wishes us to take responsibility for any consequential loss, they must advise us of this condition in writing prior to our attending their booking. We reserve the right to reject any such request.

21.9 PCB (Printed Circuit Board): Please be aware, that electronic components can be damaged by static electricity, other factors such as faulty downstream components, so fitting a new printed circuit board to a machine can result in damage to the new board. Because of these factors, please be aware that PCBs cannot be returned for credit under any circumstances, whether fitted to your machine or not.

21.10 Alternate/Substitute Parts: The Service Company reserves the right to use Alternate or Substitute parts without limit. Alternate Part: An Alternate Part is a component that is a suitable replacement for another part in every assembly in which the original part occurs. The Service Company uses alternate parts when multiple vendors can supply parts that serve the identical function and fit. Sometimes the Service Company needs to change other parts of the unit to make the alternative part an exact substitute of it. Substitute Part: A substitute part is a component that is a suitable replacement for another part in only one unit in which the original part occurs.

20.11 Superseded Parts means that a part has been replaced or updated by the Manufacturer or the Supply agent with a replacement product. The Service Company reserves the right to install the superseded part supplied without having regard to its suitability or match. The Service Company relies entirely on the Manufacturer/Supply agent as to its fit for purpose. Often the Service Company is unaware the part has been superseded until we arrive to fit the part.
