Time for payment for the Works being of the essence, the Price will be payable by the Client on the date/s determined by Beattie Air, which may be:

on completion of the Works; or

The Client shall not be entitled to set off against, or deduct from the Price, any sums owed or claimed to be owed to the Client by Beattie Air nor to withhold payment of any invoice because part of that invoice is in dispute, unless the request for payment by Beattie Air is a claim made under the Construction Contracts Act 2002.

Unless otherwise stated the Price does not include GST. In addition to the Price, the Client must pay to Beattie Air an amount equal to any GST Beattie Air must pay for any supply by Beattie Air under this or any other agreement for the sale of the Materials. The Client must pay GST, without deduction or set off of any other amounts, at the same time and on the same basis as the Client pays the Price. In addition, the Client must pay any other taxes and duties that may be applicable in addition to the Price except where they are expressly included in the Price.
