7. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS (RETENTION MONEY) AMENDMENT ACT 2023

8. VARIATIONS

8.1. The Price will be adjusted to reflect any additional costs or expenses we incur due to any instruction received from you (or your authorised agent) or any action or inaction on your part. 8.2.

In addition to any Price adjustment for variations, we shall be entitled to charge for our time and expenses in assessing and pricing any variation (whether or not the variation goes ahead). You shall pay a reasonable additional fee based on our regular hourly rate and expenses (including any expenses incurred when you request us to take any steps in preparation for a variation that, for any reason, does not proceed). 8.5. If a territorial authority requires a variation (including as a condition of granting or retaining a building consent or for any part of the Services to comply with the building code), both parties must communicate regarding the variation requirement. You agree to advise us whether you wish the variation to be carried out or whether an alternative arrangement can be made to avoid the need for the variation. 8.6. Where you request us to estimate the quantity of the Materials to be supplied from sketches, plans, schedules, specifications or otherwise, you agree to pay for any variation between the estimate and the actual quantities provided, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be adjusted accordingly to reflect the increased Price. 8.7. You agree not to negotiate any variations directly with our subcontractors or merchants without our written consent.

9. PROVISION OF SERVICES

9.1. We will deliver the Materials or Services to the delivery location that we each agree to in writing. If the delivery location is at your premises, you will provide us (and our Personnel) with suitable access to the premises and any amenities we reasonably require to deliver the Materials or Services. 9.2. We shall not be liable for any delay caused by: (a) variations or additional work; (b) any other delays for which you are responsible (including delays caused by third parties you have engaged); (c) a failure or delay on your part in complying with your obligations under this Agreement, including (i) paying the deposit; (ii) providing proof of finance or insurance; (iii) obtaining sufficient title; (iv) obtaining consents; (v) ensuring all necessary services are available at the Worksite; or (vi) providing us with access to the Worksite for the provision of the Services; (d) delays on the part of a consenting authority or other Regulator; (e) weather conditions affecting the Services completion; (f) suspensions of the Services by either party; (g) unforeseen health and safety requirements (such as the discovery of asbestos); (h) if subcontractors or Materials are unavailable; (i) any matter covered in clause 33.8 of this Agreement; (j) the poor condition of any existing structure (or any adjoining structure); (k) dispute resolution procedures invoked by either party in circumstances that, in our reasonable opinion, make it impracticable to proceed as otherwise planned or legal proceedings relating to the Services, commenced or threatened by a third party in circumstances that make it impractical for us to proceed; or (l) any other matter outside our reasonable control. 9.3. Where a delay has occurred, we shall be entitled to an extension of time to complete the Services and amend the expected completion date. We shall notify you of the amended scheduled completion date within a reasonable time after the delay becomes apparent. 9.4.

You accept that the supply of Materials for accepted orders may be subject to availability. If, for any reason, Materials are not or cease to be available, we reserve the right to substitute comparable Materials (or components of the Materials) and vary the Price (in accordance with clause 8). In all such cases, we will notify you before any such substitution and reserve the right to place your order on hold until both parties agree to such changes. 9.6.

Any time we specify for delivery of the Materials is an estimate only. We will not be liable for any expenses or losses incurred due to your reliance on our estimated time for delivery, nor can you cancel any order for any delay in delivery that is less than fourteen (14) days after our estimated time for delivery (or any delay in delivery due to any event beyond our control). 9.10.

If you resell or use any Materials before ownership of the Materials has passed to you (including combining or processing the Materials), the proceeds of such sale or use will be received and held (in whatever form) in trust for us to the extent of the Amounts Owing (where our interest as beneficiary under that trust will be that portion of the proceeds which is equivalent to the Amounts Owing to us and the balance of the proceeds (if any) will be your beneficial interest under that trust). 18.4. It is further agreed that: (a) where possible, the Materials shall be kept separate and identifiable until we have received full payment and you have fulfilled all of your obligations under this Agreement; and (b) until ownership of the Materials passes to you, we may give notice in writing to return the Materials (or any accessories or components), and your rights to obtain ownership or any other interest in the Materials shall cease. 18.5. If any Materials are damaged where full payment has not been received, you agree that we are entitled to: (a) receive all insurance proceeds paid for the Materials; and (b) deal directly with the insurance company to receive all insurance proceeds paid for the Materials. 18.6. We may commence proceedings to recover the Price of the Services provided, notwithstanding that ownership of the Materials or Services has not passed to you.

19. SECURITY AND LIEN 19.1. Subject to us providing any Materials or Services, you charge all of your right, title and interest (whether joint or several) in any land, real estate or other assets capable of being legally charged with a lien you own either now or in the future and you grant a security interest in all of your present and after-acquired property to secure the performance of all obligations under this Agreement (including full payment of all Amounts Owing). 19.2. You irrevocably appoint all directors of our companies (including any Related Company) as your true and lawful attorney(s) and agree that the appointed attorney(s) may perform all necessary acts to enforce our rights provided in clause 19.1 of this Agreement (including signing any document on your behalf). 19.3. You are liable for all our disbursements and expenses (including full legal expenses on a solicitor-client basis) incurred in exercising our rights under clause 19 to secure the performance of your obligations under this Agreement. 19.4. It is fair and reasonable for the parties to be bound by clause 19.

20. PERSONAL PROPERTY SECURITIES ACT 1999 20.1. You acknowledge and agree that: (a) this Agreement constitutes, in favour of us, a Security Agreement creating a Security Interest in the Materials and Services or the proceeds of such Materials and Services; and (b) the Security Interest granted to us secures the payment of all Amounts Owing. 20.2. You agree that you will sign any further documentation and provide any information which we may reasonably require to ensure we are paid all Amounts Owing due to us and otherwise to protect our interests under this Agreement, including by registration of a financing statement and ensuring that we have a perfected Security Interest in the Materials and Services, or a Security Interest in the proceeds of the Materials and Services (a Security Interest taken in all collateral and any proceeds). 20.3. To the extent permitted by law, we each contract out of: (a) sections 114(1)(a), 133 and 134 of the PPSA; and (b) your rights referred to in sections 107(2)(a), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) of the PPSA. 20.4. You waive your right to receive a verification statement under Part 10, section 148 of the PPSA regarding any financing statement relating to a Security Interest. 20.5. You acknowledge and agree that a Security Interest is perfected and attached to the Materials (the collateral) in accordance with Part 3 of the PPSA, and the Security Interest shall extend to the proceeds of the Materials as specified in Part 4, section 45(1) of the PPSA. 20.6. Each Security Interest is a continuing Security, notwithstanding any intermediate payments, settlement of accounts or anything else. 20.7. You must provide us with any information and documentation we request regarding your financial status from time to time. 20.8. If we consider your financial status unsatisfactory at any time, we may require you to grant additional Security Interests as security for the Amounts Owing, and we may suspend or cancel further supply of Materials or Services until you have provided such Security Interests. 20.9. You unconditionally ratify any actions taken under clause 20.

21. WORKSITE ACCESS 21.1. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to ensure: (a) we have clear and free access to the Worksite to deliver the Materials or undertake the Services, and we shall not be liable for any loss or damage to the Worksite (including damage to pathways, driveways, concrete, and paved or grassed areas) unless due to our negligence; and (b) access is suitable to accept the weight of laden trucks or other heavy equipment as necessary. 21.2. You (and your agents) shall be entitled to have reasonable access to inspect the Services, subject to the following: (a) you shall provide us with notice before exercising your access rights; (b) all inspections of the Services will be done within reasonable hours, with our consent and with us present on the Worksite; (c) you shall not exercise access with such frequency or duration that causes delays with our progress or a distraction to our employees or contractors. We may (at our sole discretion) temporarily decline access to complete any necessary Services to meet the agreed deadlines; and (d) you agree to comply with all health and safety legislation requirements, including all reasonable and relevant instructions we provide, such as wearing protective clothing when on the Worksite (in accordance with clause 26). 21.3. You are responsible for organising temporary fencing to protect the Worksite from damage or theft if any fencing or other boundary is removed.

22. EXCESS MATERIALS 22.1. Unless both parties agree in writing to the contrary: (a) only suitable new Materials will be used for the completion of the Services; (b) any demolished Materials remain your property, and we are not responsible for removing any waste from the Worksite unless we have agreed to do so under the scope of the Services. All waste we generate will be placed in a designated area you appoint; and (c) any Materials we bring to the Worksite that are not used at the completion of the Services will remain our property.

23. CLIENT’S RESPONSIBILITIES 23.1. You acknowledge and agree that it is your responsibility to: (a) remove any furniture, furnishings or personal goods from the Worksite or vicinity of the Services and agree that we shall not be liable for any damage caused to those items if you do not remove such items from the Worksite; (b) provide us with adequate access to amenities, including available water, electricity, toilets and washing facilities; and (c) ensure any animals or children at or near the Worksite are safe. 23.2. If you are to supply any materials or services in connection with this Agreement (whether personally or by arrangement with a supplier or contractor), then our prior written consent is required, and you must ensure that the materials or services: (a) meet the same standards as we are required to attain concerning the Materials and Services we are responsible for supplying under this Agreement; and (b) are delivered at such a time and in such a manner that we are not impeded from complying with our obligations under this Agreement. 23.3. You must proceed with the services you are supplying expeditiously and without delay, and not unreasonably impede us from performing our obligations. You agree to promptly and comprehensively provide any information and make any decision we may reasonably request regarding any Services you are supplying. 23.4. We may, at our discretion, notify you that we require you to store Materials or tools required for the completion of the Services at the Worksite, in which case you agree to provide us with a safe area for storage and shall take all reasonable efforts to protect any Materials or tools from theft or damage (and the cost of repair or replacement of any Materials or tools that are stolen or damaged while stored at the Worksite shall be your responsibility). 23.5. If you are a tenant (and not the owner of the land and premises), you warrant that consent for the Services has been obtained from the owner (or the owner's agent), and you agree to supply contact information for us to verify such consent before the commencement of the Services. Should you fail to notify us that you are not the owner of the land and premises, you acknowledge and agree that you shall be liable for all Amounts Owing and indemnify us against any claim made by the owner regarding the Services (excluding our negligence). 23.6. You warrant that you have sufficient funds available to honour your payment obligations and will, on request, provide us with evidence verifying such funds through an email or letter of credit from your banking institution.

24. INSURANCE AND RISK 24.1. You acknowledge and agree that: (a) where we supply Materials only, all risks for the Materials shall immediately pass to you on delivery, and you must insure the Materials on or before delivery. The delivery of the Materials shall be deemed to have taken place immediately at the time that either: (i) you (or your nominated carrier) take possession of the Materials at our address; or (ii) we (or our nominated carrier) deliver the Materials to your nominated delivery address (even if you are not present at the address); or (b) if we are to supply and install Materials, you shall, at your cost, arrange, maintain, and give full effect to an insurance policy for the Worksite and the Services until completion (unless we agree otherwise in writing). Such insurance must: (i) provide cover for loss, damage, and liability arising out of or in connection with the provision of the Services, including cover for the Materials from the time they are delivered to the Worksite; (ii) remain current and uninterrupted for the entire period during which the Services are being performed; and (iii) be supported by satisfactory evidence of cover, including certificates of currency and any applicable endorsements, which you shall provide to us and make available upon request. 24.2. If you have requested that we diagnose a fault that requires investigation, disassembly, or testing, you will be charged all costs, regardless of whether the repair goes ahead. 24.3. If electrical wiring is required to be repositioned at the request of any third party, you agree to notify us immediately of any proposed changes and indemnify us against any additional costs incurred (and such variations shall be invoiced in addition to the Price in accordance with clause 8). 24.4. You warrant that any systems to which the Materials are to be installed can withstand the installation of the Materials and that any electrical connections (including meter boxes, main switches, circuit breakers, and electrical cables) are of suitable capacity to handle the Materials once installed. If damages are caused by power overloads or exceeding existing system capacities that are beyond our control, you shall be liable for any claims, losses, damages, costs or expenses, however caused or arising (unless due to our negligence). 24.5. Where we install the Materials, you warrant that the structure of the premises in or upon which the Materials are to be installed is sound and will sustain the installation. We shall not be liable for any damages or expenses caused by the premises being unable to accommodate the installation of the Materials. 24.6. If we are required to switch off the electrical supply when providing the Services, you agree that should you experience any loss of data or internet service, we shall not be held liable for any impact this may have. If we are required to isolate power to complete the Services, we will follow standard notification practices specified by the Powerco contract works manual. If we are required to delay isolation for the Services to proceed, you accept liability for any delay costs (including, but not limited to, extra traffic management, plant hire, and lost profit). 24.7. We shall, upon installation, ensure that all Materials are installed in a manner fully compliant with all industry standards and regulations (including the Electricity Industry Act 2010, the Electricity Act 1992, the AS/NZS 3000:2018 standards, and the AS/NZS 3000:2018 A1 amendments). If, for any reason, you expressly request the Materials to be installed in any way that goes against our recommendations or falls outside of industry standards: (i) a request detailing that requirement must be made in writing to us; and (ii) we offer no warranty regarding such Materials (or the installation method requested in writing). 24.8. Where we have provided information or figures to you regarding the performance of the Materials, you acknowledge that we have provided them in good faith and that they are estimates based on information from the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA) or industry-prescribed estimates. The efficiency of the Materials may be lower than estimated due to factors beyond our control (including the age of existing wiring or weather conditions). 24.9. Where you have supplied Materials for us to complete the Services, you accept responsibility for the suitability of purpose, quality and any faults inherent in those Materials, and if (in our opinion) it is believed that the Materials supplied will not conform to New Zealand regulations, set out by any Regulator, then we shall be entitled to halt all Services until the appropriate conforming Materials are sourced (and you will be solely liable for all additional expenses incurred, which will be invoiced as a variation to the Services under clause 8). 24.10. You accept that we are only responsible for the Materials or Services we provide or replace. We do not accept any responsibility for previous Services carried out by any third party or for any loss or damage to the Materials or Services caused by any other third party after the completion of the Services. 24.11. You acknowledge that you must ensure safe removal if asbestos or any other toxic substances are discovered at the Worksite. You further agree to indemnify us against any costs incurred due to such discovery. Under no circumstances will we handle the removal of any asbestos product unless we agree in writing. 24.12. If, for any reason (including the discovery of asbestos, defective or unsafe wiring, or dangerous access to roofing), we reasonably form the opinion that your premises are not safe for the installation of the Materials to proceed, we shall be entitled to delay the installation of the Materials until we are satisfied that it is safe. We may, at our sole discretion, agree to bring the premises up to a standard suitable for installation to proceed, but all such Services undertaken and any additional Materials supplied shall be treated as a variation (in accordance with clause 8). 24.13. You agree that variations of colour, grain or shade are inherent in natural Materials. While we will make every effort to match colour, grain or shade when selecting Materials, we shall not be liable for any variation in colour, grain or shade between batches of Materials or between new Materials and existing materials (and if there is a variation between batches or new and existing materials, the Materials and Services will not be considered to contain any defect or faulty workmanship). 24.14. You acknowledge and accept that: (a) all descriptive specifications, illustrations, drawings, data dimensions, and weights stated in our fact sheets, Price lists, or advertising material are indicative only; and (b) the Materials supplied may: (i) fade or change colour over time; (ii) expand, contract or distort as a result of exposure to heat, cold, or weather conditions; (iii) mark or stain if exposed to certain substances (including those stated by the manufacturer); and (iv) be damaged or scratched by impact. 24.15. Should you request that we leave Materials outside our premises for collection or deliver them to an unattended location, you agree that those Materials shall be left at your sole risk.

25. NOTIFICATION OF SERVICES 25.1. You must precisely locate all unseen or underground services at the Worksite and mark the same prior to us commencing any of the Services (including electrical services, gas services, sewer services, water mains, telephone cables, fibre optic cables, or any other services that may be present on the Worksite). You agree that we are in no way liable for any repair costs or fines incurred due to damage to underground services that you do not precisely locate and mark prior to the commencement of the Services. 25.2. We accept no liability for unforeseen or unmarked underground services at the Worksite. If underground services are damaged despite our taking all reasonable steps to identify the services present, all liability and repair costs shall be your responsibility (including the obligation to seek damages from the party that installed the services and failed to mark the correct location of the services). Any additional Services required due to damage to underground services will be treated as a variation (in accordance with clause 8) unless due to our negligence. 25.3. If you request that we engage a service locator, or if we require this based on industry experience, we will (at your expense) seek advice on underground services from a suitably competent and certified underground service locator, based on best practices, plans, drawings, and available information. You agree to indemnify us for all liability and repair costs resulting from damage to underground services that are not precisely located and marked by the certified service locator.

26. HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK ACT 2015 26.1. Each party will comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 (HSW Act), including all health and safety duties specified in Part 2 of the HSW Act and all other applicable standards and codes of practice relating to health and safety. In addition, each party will comply with the other party’s pre-notified and reasonable health and safety policies when on the other party’s premises. 26.2. You must notify us of any known hazards arising from your premises to which any person may be exposed, as well as inform us of any notifiable injury, illness, incident or event (as defined in Part 1, subpart 3 of the HSW Act) to ensure that your workplace is without risks to the health and safety of any person. 26.3. Each party must consult, cooperate and coordinate activities with all other persons with a health and safety duty in relation to the same matter in providing the Materials or Services (including in connection with the delivery of the Materials or Services).

27. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS 27.1. When you supply us with plans, specifications, or other technical information (such as CAD drawings or other electronic software that provides detailed information), you are responsible for providing accurate information, and we are entitled to rely on it. 27.2. If you provide technical information on the specifications of the Materials required to complete the Services, it is your responsibility to verify the accuracy of this information or specifications before we place an order based on these measurements or specifications. We accept no responsibility for any loss, damages, or costs due to your failure to verify the accuracy of the technical information or specifications. 27.3. You acknowledge that all descriptive specifications, illustrations, drawings, data, dimensions, and weights stated in our fact sheets, Price lists, or advertising material are approximate. You shall not be entitled to rely on such information, and any use of the Price lists does not constitute a sale by description and does not form part of this Agreement unless we expressly state this in writing. 27.4. If there is any discrepancy between the drawings and the specifications, precedence will be determined based on the election of authority agreed upon by both parties and recorded in writing. If no election of authority has been made, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) figured specifications take precedence over scaled specifications; (b) large-scale specifications take precedence over small-scale specifications; (c) amended drawings take precedence over older drawings; and (d) all drawings and specifications are subject to any building consent. 27.5. We are not responsible for any errors in the Materials or Services or additional expenses if you supply inaccurate information.

28. STATUTORY COMPLIANCE AND CONSENT 28.1. You agree to obtain (at your expense) all approvals, consents and licences that may be required for the Services (including consents, approvals or reports required after the commencement of the Services, such as geotechnical data). 28.2. We shall be responsible for providing the code compliance certificate on the completion of the Services, and both parties acknowledge and agree that: (a) we shall be responsible for applying for and obtaining the code compliance certificate for the Services; and (b) you shall provide us with all the necessary information to apply for code compliance certificates. 28.3. Both parties shall comply with all ‘regulations’ (as defined in Part 1, section 5 of the Electricity Industry Act 2010) for the Services supplied under this Agreement.

29. CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS ACT 2002 29.1. You acknowledge and agree that this Agreement constitutes a ‘construction contract’ as defined in Part 1, section 5 of the CCA, being a contract for the provision of construction work, and includes any variation to this Agreement under clause 8. 29.2. We reserve the right to suspend the Services (in accordance with Part 2, subpart 4 of the CCA) by providing five days' written notice if: (a) a claimed amount is not paid in full by the due date; (b) if we have issued a payment claim and no payment schedule has been provided; or (c) a scheduled amount is not paid in full by the due date, even though the payment schedule you provide indicates an amount you propose to pay us. 29.3. If we suspend the Services under clause 29.2, you acknowledge and agree that: (a) the suspension of the Services is not in breach of this Agreement; (b) the rights and obligations in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; (c) we are not liable for any loss or damage you suffer (or by any third party claiming through you); (d) we are entitled to an extension of time to complete the Services; (e) the suspension does not affect any rights that would otherwise have been available to us under Part 2, subpart 3 of the CCLA; and (f) we may exercise any rights regarding payments or the adjudication of disputes under Parts 2 and 3 of the CCA.

30. LAND SUBSIDENCE AND DEFECTIVE EARTHWORKS 30.1. You acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for any: (a) damage to the Services caused by the subsidence of the Worksite (including any partial subsidence) or additional costs resulting from the absence of information on any foundation, defects or difficulties that were not discovered by a reasonable inspection of the Worksite; (b) deterioration to the Services or the Worksite caused by or resulting from the inadequacy or negligent application of earth fill (or removal) unless such damage or deterioration may be adequately attributable to our negligence. 30.2. You agree that where earthmoving or excavation work has been provided by a third party (you have engaged) and such work is found to be defective or not up to standard (including depth or dimensions), we reserve the right to charge a variation to remedy such work (in accordance with clause 8).

31. SUBCONTRACTORS AND THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS 31.1. We may subcontract any portion of the Services, but may not assign or sublet all of the Services without your written consent. 31.2. We, at all times, shall be responsible for: (a) our Subcontractor's services; (b) ensuring that our subcontractors have appropriate insurance in place; (c) obtaining applicable warranties, guarantees, certificates and records of work required from our subcontractors; and (d) taking all reasonable steps to ensure our subcontractors comply with health and safety legislation regarding the Services (in accordance with clause 26). 31.3. If you request and authorise us to arrange the provision of Materials or Services directly to you by a third party supplier (whether or not such arrangement involves us contracting as your agent), to the extent applicable, this Agreement shall apply to our Services in arranging such supply, provided that we exclude all liability in connection with the supply of Materials or Services to you directly by a third party supplier. You agree to pay all Amounts Owing under this Agreement if we arrange any supply of Materials or Services provided directly to you by a third-party supplier. We offer no warranty regarding the quality of the third-party supplier's workmanship (including whether their recommendations are appropriate or accurate).

32. LIABILITY 32.1. To the extent permitted by law, we shall have no liability whatsoever to you for any direct or indirect expense or loss of profit you suffer arising out of our breach of this Agreement (including any unintentional misrepresentation we make to you regarding the Materials or Services). 32.2.
