Goods and Services Tax
Goods and Services Tax at the rate set out in the relevant legislation is a component of all transactions except for those goods or for those transactions exempted in the legislation (eg exports). Prices are quoted in all cases with reference to the tax status of the transaction, either by the statement of a nett figure plus GST or by the statement of a total GST inclusive figure. Every transaction is described in an official Tax Invoice which fully complies with relevant legislation and which shows Goods and Services Tax as a separate amount.

Special Orders

SPECIAL ORDERS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR CREDIT OR RETURN.
If further work on the special order is required due to any ambiguities in the original, additional charges may be made at the discretion of Consolidated Brass.

Amendment or Cancellation of Orders
An order is not accepted until the Company is satisfied that all details of the supply are clear and accurate. Information needed to clear up ambiguities in descriptions of goods, or any amendment of incorrect prices, is to be confirmed in writing before the order is accepted.

An order once accepted may be cancelled only on the clear understanding that Consolidated Brass reserves the right to apply a cancellation charge to cover costs already incurred to supply the order.

Freight
All goods manufactured by Consolidated Brass are FIS (metropolitan areas) by the company’s usual carrier unless otherwise agreed; special freight arrangements eg overnight bag, express post, made at the customer’s request are at the customer’s expense.

Warranty
The Company accepts responsibility for any fault due to the Company’s own workmanship or materials except for subjective variations or random unavoidable blemishes of a minor non-functional nature.This acceptance of responsibility is for twelve (12) months from the date of installation, proof of which may be required.

Installation and Maintenance
The Company provides installation instructions for certain products as a guide to the qualified tradesman/installer, but accepts no liability whatsoever for faulty installation.

The Company has fully trained staff to service the product if necessary.
