you, being the person or entity stated in the Quote (you or your),
together the

the Quote and the Order Form forms the entire agreement under
which we will provide the Goods to you (

You accept this Agreement by the earlier of:
(a) sending an email to us accepting the Quote;
(b) signing an Order Form; or
(c) making part or full payment of the Price.
2. Consultations

we agree to organise a consultation at a date, time and
location mutually agreed between the Parties
(
Consultation).
2.2 During the Consultation, you will have the opportunity to
host us at a venue of your choice. Any additional expenses
incurred at the Consultation will be at your cost.
2.3
If you expressly request that we organise the

acknowledge that you will lose your right to cancel within
the first 14 days under the consumer laws.

as you can, and in any event, at least 48 hours’ notice prior
to the Consultation by calling or emailing us.

Consultation will be considered cancelled by you without
notice. Where you do not provide us with notice to cancel
an Consultation in accordance with clause 2.5, or you are
more than 15 minutes late to the Consultation, the

acknowledge and agree that this is a genuine pre-estimate
of our loss arising as a result of your failure to give us
notice of your unavailability, or attend your Consultation
on time.

between the Parties and will be priced in accordance with

obligations under this Agreement, then we will not be
obliged to comply with such instructions or directions
unless agreed in accordance with this clause.

slight variations between products shown to you during
the consultation or images on our website and the Goods
delivered to you may be present. Subject to your consumer
