3.1. The staff and contractors of our Service Providers generally work between 8.00 am and 6.00 pm Monday through Friday (excluding public holidays).
3.2. The hourly rates quoted are based on Services being delivered during those working hours. By arrangement our Service Providers can offer Services outside the normal working hours, additional charges may apply.

5. Disbursements

The Fees do not cover additional specific expenses which we incur because of you engaging us to deliver the Services including but not limited to the printing of any promotional documents, delivery of material to you by courier (other than where the need for an urgent delivery is our fault), Service-related travel, accommodation and like costs. These costs will be listed in the proposal and passed on to you in accordance with clause 4.3 of the Terms and Conditions.
5.2. Our staff and contractors will generally travel to your Venue by car because of the need to carry materials or equipment with them. It is expected that you will be able to provide suitable parking adjacent to the Venue at no cost, but where they do incur parking charges these costs will be passed on to you as a disbursement.
6. Additional Costs & Disruptions
6.1. We reserve the right to recover from you the unexpected costs which we incur in delivering the Services. Typically, these costs can arise where:
a) your staff arrive late for their appointment, resulting in us having to work longer hours than quoted for in the Proposal; and/or
b) more of your staff than predicted attend to participate in the Services, resulting in us having to work longer hours than we quoted in the Proposal.
6.2. Where we anticipate that the Services in question will run for longer than contemplated by the Proposal, we will (where practicable) seek the approval of your representative nominated under our Service Agreement. We will keep a record of any additional hours worked.
In the event that circumstances beyond our control arise, Healthworks reserves the right to reschedule or modify the agreed-upon service dates or times. Such circumstances may include, but are not limited to, acts of nature, extreme weather conditions, equipment failure, illness, accidents, or other unforeseen events that prevent us from fulfilling our obligations as scheduled. Healthworks agrees to use their best endeavours to reschedule the service within a reasonable timeframe. If an alternative time cannot be agreed, then Healthworks will reduce the Agreed Fee by an amount commensurate with the Fee attributable to the service cancelled by Healthworks.

A disbursement is any expense we incur in delivering the Services, other than the incidental use of photocopiers, telephones, facsimiles and the like, which is not stated in the Proposal as being absorbed in our Fee. Where practicable, we will seek to identify and give you an estimate of any material disbursements we anticipate incurring in our Proposal, but our failure to do so will not prevent us from recovering from you any disbursements we do incur in delivering the Services to you.
4.4. Products used as incentives in the delivery of our Services are sourced from Third Party suppliers. Consistent with paragraph 4.3, where our Proposal specifies that we will supply such products (and unless we state that the cost of such products will be absorbed within the Fee) we will:
a) provide a good faith estimate of the cost of supplying the products in the Proposal based on Third Party supplier information known to us but invoice you for the actual costs incurred in sourcing the products, plus a 20% handling fee.
Furthermore, the specifications of Third-Party suppliers’ products may change without notice or may cease to be available. In such case, we will endeavour to deliver a similar replacement product, within the estimate provided. If we are unable to do so, we will notify you and seek to agree on an alternative option.
4.5. We reserve the right to invoice you further charges in addition to the Fees where circumstances arise that result in us doing additional work or incurring additional costs outside of the scope covered by the Fees specified in our Proposal. We will not invoice you for such further charges where the additional work or costs were caused by our fault, or where we have expressly stated in our Proposal that the specified Fees cover any additional work or costs.
4.6. Without limiting paragraph 4.5, the circumstances in which we reserve the right to invoice you further charges include:
a) where our staff are required to work outside normal business hours;
b) where you require amendments to our standard forms of promotional material, report formats or information materials to suit your requirements;
c) where you request any changes to the Services after our Proposal is accepted by you; or
d) where our Services are required for a longer period than that contemplated by our Proposal.
4.7. Where practicable we will discuss any further charges with you prior to the delivery of the Services which will result in those additional charges being invoiced to you. Any further charges will be calculated by reference to the time involved and to our prevailing rates for additional or out-of-scope work. Those rates may be noted in the Proposal, or are otherwise available from us on request.
5. Terms of Payment
5.1. Our Fees, subject to relevant adjustments (if any), will be invoiced upon completion of the service, or based on services delivered within the month if services are ongoing. All invoices (other than invoices for products sourced from Third Party suppliers) are due and payable within 30 days from the date of the invoice.
5.2. If payment of any of our invoices is outstanding beyond 60 days from the date of our invoice, we reserve the right to immediately suspend delivering, or preparing for the delivery of, the Services to you. We will notify you if we exercise this right. Upon notification of suspension to you for this reason, all amounts due to us in respect of the Services, as specified in our Proposal, may also be invoiced and, if so, become immediately due and payable.
5.3. If you do not pay us any amount, we have invoiced you by the due date for payment, finance fees may apply.
