Written fixed price quotes in relation to window cleaning, gutter cleaning, pressure cleaning, façade/building cleaning, roof cleaning, solar panel cleaning, skylight cleaning and other cleaning services, which are determined by a site visit, photographs provided by you or sometimes using online methods. If the condition of the site worsens between the time of the quote and when the quote is accepted, or there are factors which are not apparent from photographs or online methods, for example extensive build-up of dirt/debris, metal louvres, accessibility issues, sunshades, renovations/extensions, gutter guards or other items, then additional charges will apply and we reserve the right to amend our quote accordingly. or
Estimates in relation to window cleaning, gutter cleaning, pressure cleaning, façade/building cleaning, roof cleaning, solar panel cleaning, skylight cleaning and other cleaning services, which are based on information received from Nearmaps/Google Maps/Street view, information provided over the phone, by email, SMS, Webform or other electronic means. Estimates are subject to confirmation after a site visit by us. If there are any additional items or factors which were not apparent from the information available for the estimate, but which become apparent during the site visit, for example extensive build-up of dirt/debris, additions, renovations or obstructions to glass or gutters, including louvres, sunshades, cages and similar items, then additional charges will apply. A final fixed quote will be confirmed after the site visit., or
Written fixed price quotes in relation to post build/construction window cleans, which involve a more specialised style of window cleaning, including removing paint, removing builders debris (such as caulking, concrete splatter, render and plaster) and other types of residue from glass and glass frames. Quotes for post build/construction cleans will only be based on a site visit or photographs of all windows and frames.
Payments by credit card shall be subject to payment of any surcharge charged by the financial institution to Bax Clean.
All goods and services are subject to payment of Goods and Services Tax (GST).
Payments must be made within seven days of date of invoice, unless agreed to the contrary with us in writing. any amounts not paid within 7 days of due date shall be liable for payment of interest at the rate stipulated in terms of the Penalty Interest Rates Act (Vic), as varied from time to time, with effect from the due date. In the event of Bax Clean incurring any costs (including legal costs) in order to recover any amount owing in terms of these terms, or to enforce its rights in accordance with these terms, the Customer agrees that it will be liable for the legal costs of Bax Clean on a solicitor and own client basis and/or any collection agency costs.
Bax Clean requires at least 24 hours written notice for service booking cancellations.
Window cleaning quotes or estimates are for a standard maintenance clean, which includes the removal and wet wipe of fly screens (if appliable), cleaning of the window behind, wiping of the window sill (excluding reveals) and reattachment of fly screens.
Window frames, tracks, reveals, paint scraping, graffiti removal, stain removal, sticky residue, post build/construction debris, concrete splatter removal, calcium buildup, hard water staining, heavy environmental buildup, and excessive amounts of fly screens, difficulty of reaching or detaching fly screens, window removal for access, or fly screens which are very dirty are not included in a standard maintenance clean and additional charges will apply. For work on buildings three stories (level 2 or equivalent) and above, permanent fixings, fly screens and other covers may not be able to be removed externally.
You acknowledge that Bax Clean uses pure water reach and wash systems, which are washed clean and left to dry naturally, which does not require the window to be manually dried.
In certain circumstances, we may quote separately for an initial clean, which may be required before our standard maintenance clean in order to scrub calcium buildup, heavy dirt, bug, insect and pollen marks and the like from glass. This is a more involved process, which requires additional methods and equipment to a standard maintenance clean.
The customer’s attention is drawn to the fact that we often see post build residue, paint or the like during scheduled standard maintenance cleans and that such residues will not be removed during a standard maintenance clean. The customer will be advised of the state of the glass and informed that a quote will be provided for the residue to be removed when the windows are next cleaned.
Standard gutter cleaning quotes or estimates include inspecting and/or cleaning gutters, valleys, rain heads and downpipes, for the purposes of functionality and not for presentation purposes. If a clean for presentation purposes is required, which involves wiping or pressure washing gutters or downpipes to a dirt free standard, then additional charges will apply.
If a downpipe is blocked and we cannot reach the blockage, clearance of the downpipe is not included in the scope of our gutter cleaning works and no reduction in our quoted price will apply. You acknowledge that the clearing of blocked gutters may require the services of a plumber. We have a minimum call out charge of $150 inc GST, which includes the first 45 minutes (sum of total time if multiple technicians present) spent onsite assessing, inspecting and/or cleaning the gutters (and alike).
Standard gutter cleaning quotes do not include uninstalling and reinstalling gutter guards for cleaning purposes, which will be an additional charge. If a large or excessive amount of gutter waste/debris is present then additional charges may apply in addition to the quoted or estimated amount.
(a) Fixed price quotes and estimates for other cleaning services, such as pressure cleaning, façade cleaning, roof cleanings, skylight cleaning and solar panel cleaning are based on a standard amount of debris/build upon the surface. An unusual or excessive amount of debris/buildup may result in additional charges. Examples of excessive debris/buildup include heavy amounts of mould, lichen, calcium buildup, hard water staining, greasy/oily/rust substances or the like on surfaces such as roof tiles, grounds, skylights, solar panels, exterior façades and other surfaces.
In the event of a variation to the proposed goods and/or services, Bax Clean may change the price by either providing a new quote,or providing a written variation notice.
Bax Clean may charge an additional cost for delivering any goods to the Customer.
Unless specifically included, the following items are excluded from any quote and will be subject to additional cost:
Any unexpected or hidden complications arising during the course of providing the services, or
Any services which may be provided outside of normal trading hours, which costs may include overtime rates.
The Customer acknowledges and agrees that the completion date for any services may be extended, due to external factors over which Bax Clean may have no control, such as inclement weather, delays due to other contractors or builders, force majeure events (including pandemics or epidemics) and/or the exclusions referred to in clause 7 (c) above.
Our time of arrival on-site is an estimate based on our operational requirements and is subject to factors such as previous job delays and traffic issues. We aim to arrive on site within two hours of the estimated time provided to you by our Operations Manager. However, if a specific time or date is required for provision of our services, they must be made known to our Operations Manager at least 24 hours before the scheduled works.
If any aspect of the works is missed or cannot be completed during our initial visit, we will return within seven days of the service to complete the work, although in most circumstances we will return sooner. If we are unable to return to site due to factors beyond our control, then we reserve the right to charge the fuller quoted amount for our services.
in the event that we provide any goods to you in addition to our services, Bax Clean and the Customer agree that ownership of any goods will not pass until the Customer has paid Bax Clean all amounts owing in relation to the goods and/or any services.
The Customer may not grant an encumbrance or charge over any goods and/or services or transfer any interest in any goods while they remain the property of Bax Clean.
Bax Clean may request return of the goods that have not been paid for by the Customer, and in the event of the Customer failing to return the goods, then the Customer irrevocably authorises Bax Clean or its agent to enter land and premises owned, occupied or used by the Customer or its agent, when and where any goods may be situated and take possession of the goods. If Bax Clean is unable to recover the goods, then it may institute proceedings for the recovery of such goods.

To the extent required by statute and subject to clause 10(c) Bax Clean warrants that if any defect in the goods and/or services is apparent and is reported to Bax Clean within seven business days of provision of the services, then the Bax Clean, in its sole discretion, will either:
