1. This Agreement commences on the Commencement Date and (unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms) will continue for the Term.

3. If a pause on work is requested, this will take place in the following month if work has commenced for the month and the work has been approved by client.

1. You must pay CODI Agency the Remuneration in consideration for the Services performed by CODI Agency in accordance with this Agreement.
2. Unless otherwise Agreement in writing, the Remuneration excludes any consumption, goods and services, value added or other broad-based indirect tax on the Remuneration or the supply of the Services. You must pay any such taxes in addition to Our Remuneration.
3. In the event You change your mind about the Services, you will still be required to pay the full amount owed. CODI Agency has the discretion to reduce the amount owed and may choose to exercise that discretion, in which case the amount owing will be an amount as agreed by them.
4. In addition to the Remuneration, You must reimburse Us for any reasonable business-related expenses we incur during Our provision of the Services.

Anything exceeding $60 will require client approval.

For the purposes of this Agreement:

• • Adjustment Event, Adjustment Note and Tax Invoice have the same meaning as in the GST Law.
  • GST means a goods and services tax or similar tax imposed under GST Law
  • GST Law means the A New Tax System “Goods and Services Tax” Act 1999.

If GST has any application to any supply made under or in connection with this Agreement, the Party making the supply (“Supplier”) may in addition to any amount or consideration expressed as payable elsewhere in this Agreement, recover from the recipient of the supply (“Recipient”) an additional amount on account of GST, such amount to be calculated by multiplying the amount or consideration payable by the Recipient for the relevant supply by the prevailing GST rate.

Any additional amount on account of GST recoverable from the Recipient shall be calculated without any deduction or set-off of any amount, and is payable by the Recipient at the same time and in the same manner as paying the amount or consideration for the relevant supply under this Agreement.

The Supplier must issue to the Recipient a Tax Invoice, and must do anything else which may be reasonably required to enable or assist the Recipient to claim or verify any input tax credit, set off, rebate or refund in relation to any GST payable under this Agreement or in respect of any supply under this Agreement.

   1. in accordance with the rate of Remuneration; and
   2. on a monthly basis for retainer work, based on the date of engagement (Invoice Date) which must be paid prior to the start of every month period; or
   3. on a deposit basis for project work, on terms agreed with You.
2. You must pay any invoice We provide to You under this Agreement within seven (7) days of the Invoice Date, or as otherwise stated on the invoice. Failure to do so will attract interest of 10% per annum (pro rata-ed) ongoing until outstanding amount is paid.
