7.4 The Client warrants that any structures to which the Materials are to be affixed are able to withstand the installation of the Materials and that any electrical connections (including, but not limited to, meter boxes, switchboards, main switches, circuit breakers, and electrical cable) are of suitable capacity to handle the Materials once installed. If, for any reason (including but not limited to, the structure not being watertight, wood rot, the discovery of asbestos, defective or unsafe wiring, or dangerous access etc.) ISLAND SOLAR reasonably forms the opinion that the Client’s property is not safe for the installation of Materials to proceed then ISLAND SOLAR shall be entitled to delay installation of the Materials (in accordance with clause 6.2) until ISLAND SOLAR is satisfied that it is safe for the installation to proceed.

7.6 ISLAND SOLAR will make every effort to match batches of product supplied in order to minimise such variations but shall not be liable in any way whatsoever where such variations occur.
7.7 Whilst the final location of the condensing unit is at the discretion of the Client, a charge will apply as a variation as per clause 5.2, if the Client requests the unit to not be located adjacent to the external wall, due to the underground piping required.
7.8 ISLAND SOLAR shall upon installation ensure that all installed Materials meet current industry standards applicable to noise levels, however ISLAND SOLAR cannot guarantee that noise levels will remain constant post installation as the Materials may be impacted by many factors such as the weather, lack of maintenance, tampering etc. Whilst ISLAND SOLAR will take all due care when working in ceiling space/cavities, ISLAND SOLAR will not be liable for any hairline cracks that may occur and/or where screws become dislodged due to general and normal movement within a ceiling, unless due to the negligence of ISLAND SOLAR.

(c) where installations are in a corrosive environment (e.g. sea air, industrial or geothermal sulphur contaminating environment), it is recommended the Materials should be treated with additional corrosion protection prior to installation. ISLAND SOLAR shall not be held liable for any loss or damages resulting from corrosion should the Client subsequently approve installation without following this recommendation.
7.10 The Client further accepts that:

ISLAND SOLAR shall not be liable for any loss or damage to the Worksite (including, without limitation, damage to pathways, driveways and concreted or paved or grassed areas) unless due to the negligence of ISLAND SOLAR;
(b) it is the Client’s responsibility to provide ISLAND SOLAR, while at the Worksite, with adequate access to available water, electricity, toilet and washing facilities; and
