Terms and Conditions of Quotation and Sale
These terms apply when a customer accepts a Grand Kitchens quotation by paying the deposit.
They outline how quotations, deposits, payment timing, variations, customer responsibilities and New Zealand consumer protections are handled for custom kitchens, cabinetry and joinery projects.
Acceptance of Quotation
By paying the deposit specified on this invoice, the Customer:
(a) accepts this Quotation in full;
(b) confirms their instruction to proceed with the Project as described in the Quotation; and
(c) agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and the total price set out in the Quotation (the "Contract Price").
Payment of the deposit constitutes the Customer's unconditional acceptance of the Quotation and forms a binding contract between the Customer and Grand Kitchens Ltd ("the Company").
Contract Price
The Contract Price is fixed based on the specifications, drawings, and scope detailed in the Quotation.
The Customer acknowledges that they have reviewed the Quotation and accept the total price.
Any variations or additional work requested by the Customer after acceptance will be charged as extras at the Company's standard rates and will be invoiced separately.
Deposit
- The deposit is non-refundable except where Grand Kitchens Ltd is unable to complete the Project due to its own fault or as required by law.
- The deposit will be applied towards the Contract Price.
- For custom-manufactured items (such as kitchens, cabinetry, and joinery), a higher deposit is required due to the bespoke nature of the work and commitments made to suppliers upon acceptance.
Payment Schedule
The Customer agrees to pay the balance of the Contract Price in accordance with the following schedule (or as otherwise agreed in writing):
- 50% on [e.g., confirmation of manufacturing / delivery of materials]
- 40% prior to benchtop installation
- Balance on practical completion / handover
Deposit invoices are due within 3 days of the invoice date. All other invoices are due within 7 days of the invoice date. Time for payment is of the essence.
Late Payment
If any payment is not received by the due date, the Company may:
Delivery, manufacturing, installation or other Project work may be paused until overdue payment is received in full.
- (a) suspend work on the Project;
- (b) charge interest at [1.5% per month] on overdue amounts;
- (c) recover all costs (including legal costs on a solicitor-client basis) incurred in recovering the debt.
- (d) not be responsible for any costs, losses or delays caused by the Customer's late payment, including costs arising from rescheduling delivery, installation, trades or related project work.
Variations and Changes
Any changes to the scope, design, materials, or specifications after acceptance of the Quotation must be agreed in writing and may result in additional costs and delays.
The Customer will be responsible for any increase in the Contract Price arising from such variations.
Customer Responsibilities
The Customer must provide clear access, accurate site measurements (if applicable), and all necessary approvals/permits.
The Company is not liable for delays caused by the Customer.
Governing Law
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of New Zealand.
The parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.
Consumer Guarantees Act and Fair Trading Act
Nothing in these Terms and Conditions limits any rights the Customer may have under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986.
However, the Customer acknowledges that they are entering into a contract for custom goods and services based on the accepted Quotation.
