“Products” refers to all security, automation, and related equipment supplied by CustomLink.

“Services” refers to installation, configuration, maintenance, support, consultation, or related assistance provided by CustomLink or authorised agents.

“Remote Support” means assistance provided via phone, video call, or remote-access software such as TeamViewer, allowing CustomLink to view or configure a system remotely.

2. Quotation and Acceptance

If you wish to proceed with a quotation, please arrange payment directly into our bank account as outlined in the quotation document.

Bank details are listed at the bottom of each quote. A deposit invoice and progress claim invoice can be issued upon request.

All quotations are valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless otherwise stated in writing.

Acceptance occurs when the Customer does any of the following:

Approves the quotation in writing
Signs and returns a quote acceptance form
Places an order
Makes a payment or deposit
Authorises CustomLink to proceed with ordering, pre-configuration, scheduling, or installation

CustomLink’s obligation to supply goods or services is subject to final acceptance and product availability.

Prices for individual components intended to integrate with a main system are valid only when supplied and/or installed at the same time as that system. Supply or installation at a later date may incur additional charges.

By proceeding with an order, approving a quotation, making payment, or authorising CustomLink to proceed, the Customer acknowledges and agrees to be bound by these Terms and Conditions and the applicable website policies.

3. Installation and Setup

3.1 On-Site Installation

CustomLink technicians carry out installation, configuration, testing, and handover.

All installations include system setup, testing, handover guidance, and the applicable on-site labour warranty.

The Customer must provide safe access, power, and internet connectivity where required.

If access is delayed or the site is not ready, additional call-out, waiting, or rescheduling fees may apply.

A Customer or authorised representative must be present throughout installation to confirm access, functionality, and authorise work.

Where applicable, systems may be pre-configured and bench-tested before installation to reduce setup time and minimise on-site risk.

Once products have been opened, prepared, configured, programmed, bench-tested, pre-configured, or otherwise custom-prepared for an on-site installation, they cannot be cancelled, refunded, or returned, except where a valid warranty claim or consumer guarantee applies.

Products marked as special order, special, non-stocked, custom-built, project-specific, or sourced specifically for the installation also cannot be cancelled, refunded, or returned once ordered from the supplier, except where a valid warranty claim or consumer guarantee applies.

CustomLink accepts no responsibility for construction or network delays, including unavailable internet, incomplete power, or unfinished site conditions, that prevent final setup, testing, or handover. In such cases, applicable progress payments still apply.

3.2 Supply-Only or Customer Installation

For supply-only orders, CustomLink’s responsibility is limited to supplying functional products.

The Customer is responsible for:

Correct installation
Configuration
Compliance with Australian Standards
Safe use of the products

Where licensing or regulated installation work applies, the Customer or their installer is responsible for ensuring the work is performed by an appropriately licensed person. Refer to Licensing & Installation Compliance for more information.

Warranty applies to the product only, not labour or travel.

Any on-site service requests will incur standard call-out rates.

CustomLink is not responsible for damage, faults, or performance issues caused by incorrect, incomplete, or unauthorised installation.

3.3 Additional Attendance and Delays

Where CustomLink is unable to complete installation, final setup, testing, or handover due to site conditions outside our control, additional charges may apply for return visits, waiting time, rescheduling, or extended labour.

This may include delays caused by:

Incomplete building works
Restricted site access
Missing power
Missing internet
Unavailable customer or site representative
Incomplete third-party works
Unresolved cabling or network faults

Remaining 10% due upon completion, including final setup and handover, within one month of fit-off

If the site is not ready for completion one month after fit-off, for example due to construction delays, unavailable internet, incomplete power, or unfinished site conditions, an additional 5% payment will be required one month after fit-off, leaving the final 5% payable upon completion within three months after fit-off.

If the site remains incomplete three months after fit-off, the final 5% must be paid before our return for completion.

5. Use of Systems

The Customer must ensure all systems comply with applicable laws and regulations.

All systems require regular inspection, maintenance, and updates to help ensure optimal performance and compliance.

The Customer is responsible for using the system lawfully and ensuring that all monitoring, recording, automation, and access control functions are used in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

7. Product Limitations and Disclaimers

7.1 Alarm and Security Systems

Alarm systems are designed to reduce risk but cannot guarantee protection against burglary, fire, or other emergencies.

Performance may be affected by factors including:

Improper installation
Sensor placement
Detection range
Battery performance
Signal interference
Lack of maintenance
Power disruption
System compromise

Alarm systems should be considered one of several risk-reduction tools, alongside insurance coverage, fire prevention systems, and smoke or sprinkler systems.

Regular maintenance and updates are strongly recommended.

7.2 Standard Surveillance Cameras

Standard surveillance cameras provide visual recording and monitoring for deterrence and investigation.

They do not guarantee prevention of theft, vandalism, or unauthorised access.

Performance depends on:

Proper installation
Device placement
Lighting conditions
Maintenance

7.3 Thermal Cameras

Thermal cameras assist in early detection of abnormal heat or potential fire risks.

However, they:

Do not replace certified smoke detectors or fire alarm systems
May be less effective in smoke or high-heat conditions
Require regular calibration and cleaning
Must not be used as medical devices

Thermal cameras should form part of a broader fire prevention plan.

7.4 Automation Systems

Automation systems provide convenience and integration for connected devices but do not guarantee safety or security.

They should not replace supervision or physical safeguards.

Performance relies on:

Correct setup
Network reliability
Stable power supply
Proper maintenance

7.5 Access Control Systems

Access control systems help manage entry through devices such as keypads, RFID cards, or biometric readers.

They assist in reducing unauthorised entry but cannot guarantee complete security.

Limitations may include:

Lost credentials
Power failure
Tampering
Outdated firmware
Incorrect installation
Lack of maintenance

These systems should form part of an integrated security strategy.

Regular testing and maintenance are essential.

For further general product limitations and disclaimers, refer to Product Limitations and Disclaimers published on our website.

8. Returns and Refunds – Supply-Only Purchases

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase for unused, undamaged goods in original packaging, with proof of purchase.

Returned items are subject to inspection prior to approval.

Freight for returns is the Customer’s responsibility unless otherwise required under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL).

8.1 Special Order and Non-Returnable Items

Products or components that are special order, marked as special, non-stocked, custom-built, project-specific, or sourced specifically for a customer project are non-cancellable and non-returnable once ordered from the supplier, except where a valid warranty claim or consumer guarantee applies.

Products that have been opened, configured, programmed, bench-tested, pre-configured, or otherwise custom-prepared for the customer or installation are also non-cancellable and non-returnable, except where a valid warranty claim or consumer guarantee applies.

Where feasible, CustomLink will advise if any items in a quotation are classified as special order, non-stocked, custom-built, project-specific, or non-returnable prior to order confirmation.

12.1 Software Platforms, Licensing, and Remote Access

Where software platforms, PC viewing software, digital signage software, cloud access, port forwarding, or remote access methods form part of the products or services supplied by CustomLink, setup and support are limited to the scope specified in writing.
