In the event that an overdue invoice remains unpaid and/or is disputed, Vacation Care Australia reserves the right to acquire the services of a Debt Collection Agency or Legal Representation to obtain the overdue amount, including any and/or all administration and late fees applied. Where a Debt Collections Agency or Legal Representation is acquired to obtain debt collection, all costs associated and charged to Vacation Care Australia will be required to be paid for by the Customer, in full, including all administration and late fees incurred.
  5. The Customer agrees that it is their responsibility to ensure that a copy of the Tax Invoice is given to your Accounts Payable Team or the person in charge of paying invoices. This will ensure that delays do not occur in paying the total amount of the invoice by the due date – within 14 business days from date of activity / event.
  6. In instances where the Customer’s Accounts Payable Team cannot fulfil payment within our Trading Terms of 14 business days from an activity / event, it is the responsibility of the Customer to advise Vacation Care Australia to issue an invoice with enough lead time prior to the activity / event to enable the invoice to be paid on time. The amount of this invoice will be based on child attendance numbers as updated 7 business days prior to the event or as agreed at the time of booking. If additional children attend the activity / event another invoice will be issued for the balance by Vacation Care Australia.

  10. Vacation Care Australia will use reasonable endeavours to identify Activity Providers who are reputable and suitable for the provision of the relevant Activities but makes no warranty or representation as to the reputation or credentials of any Activity Provider, or any employee or other representative of an Activity Provider or the quality, safety or fitness for purpose of any Item or service provided pursuant to a Booking.
