SUPPLY AND DELIVERY
Pulse Fitness agrees to supply and deliver, and the Customer agrees to take delivery of and pay for all Goods and Services on and subject to the Conditions.

If Pulse Fitness fails to deliver or perform by any specified date or time, Pulse Fitness will deliver the goods and perform the services and this agreement by such reasonable date or time as Pulse Fitness shall further specify. Pulse Fitness shall not be in breach of this agreement for delay in or non-delivery or performance, unless and until the Customer has given to Pulse Fitness notice on or after any specified final date or time for delivery or performance, and Pulse Fitness has failed to deliver or perform within at least 90 days following receipt of such notice.
If Pulse Fitness is delayed in or prevented from delivering the goods or performing the Services or the Agreement because of any event beyond its reasonable control, including any delay or inability of the manufacturer or supplier to supply the Goods or any parts for the Goods to Pulse Fitness for any reason, any carriage or import delays, any delay in performance, breach, or non-performance of this agreement by the Customer, or any delay, act, or omission of any of the Customer’s staff or contractors, or because of anything for which the Customer is responsible under this agreement, then Pulse Fitness shall not be in breach of this agreement and shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of time or delivery or performance and to damages for all losses thereby incurred.
The Customer shall agree with Pulse Fitness a plan for delivery and installation of the goods and performance of the Services, and in particular the Customer shall agree with Pulse Fitness a schedule of dates on which Pulse Fitness may carry out such delivery, installation, and services, making suitable arrangements for all necessary access for not less than twice the number of Pulse Fitness’s estimated hours for installation, and at least an 8-hour shift during all Normal working hours.
The Customer shall permit Pulse Fitness at any time to conduct a survey of the Contract Site. If, when Pulse Fitness commences delivery or installation of the Goods or provision of any Services at the Contract Site, or when Pulse Fitness carries out any inspection of the Contract Site, Pulse Fitness finds any differences between the Contract Site at that time and at the time of any previous survey or inspection, or between the Contract Site and stated or agreed assumptions concerning the Contract Site upon which Pulse has relied, such that Pulse Fitness finds any additional work may be required above that which would be reasonably expected, as a result of unforeseeable ground or other conditions at the Contract Site, then Pulse Fitness shall be entitled to make a reasonable additional charge and to an agreed reasonable extension of time, for any resulting additional work, costs and/or expenses.
Unless otherwise agreed the charges shall be based on Pulse Fitness’s standard labour charges for an 8-hour shift or part thereof on a pro rata basis to all time expended on such additional work.

- Any relevant parts of the Contract site will be cleared and prepared.

- That the Contract site will be safe, and that Pulse Fitness will not have to deal with or make special provision for any safety hazards at the Contract site, and the place where the Goods shall be used shall meet all and any applicable safety legislation and standards.
Where any part of a building or structure at a Contract Site needs to be opened, widened, dismantled, or pulled down to enable delivery or installation of the goods or provision of the Services, this shall be the responsibility of the Customer to carry out at its cost, together with all reinstatement work. If Pulse Fitness agrees to carry out this work, it shall be entitled to make an additional charge to the Customer on the same basis as set out above in relation to additional work deemed necessary due to conditions at the Contract Site discovered after a survey.
If Pulse Fitness is unable to gain access to the Contract Site, or the Contract Site is not ready for installation on the dates agreed with Pulse Fitness and/or the Customer does not accept delivery of the goods or services when tendered by Pulse Fitness and/or the Contract Site does not meet with the requirements of the Agreement such that it is not reasonable to commence work, then save to where the same arises wholly due to the neglect or default of Pulse Fitness.
Pulse Fitness shall be entitled to defer delivery and installation of the goods and provision of the services,
- The Customer shall be subject to an additional reasonable charge for storage of the Goods or shall at the request of Pulse Fitness make satisfactory arrangements for the secure storage of the Goods at the Contract Site at the customer’s risk.
