1. AUTHORITY AND PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
1.1 “The Client” authorises Shift Property Styling and their employees and contractors to enter and remain on the Property at all reasonable times for the purpose of furnishing and styling “the Property” as contemplated by this agreement. This authorisation includes installation and removal of the Furniture and Accessories used by Shift Property Styling and allowing access to the property for styling reviews (including retention of key during campaign which will be destroyed at completion of contract unless specification requested to be returned by “The Client”) as contemplated by this agreement.

Any changes once approval is provided may incur costs.
1.3 Acceptance of the quote must be received within 7 days of receiving the quote if a date is being held for the installation by Shift Property Styling. Pricing is valid for 30 days from date of quote issue, however an installation date can only be held for a maximum of 7 days. Shift Property Styling will contact “the Client” if this date becomes at risk (see cancellations/change of installation date).
1.4 Preparation of the property: “The Client” is responsible for making sure “the Property” is prepared prior to Shift Property Styling’s arrival for the agreed installation date. This includes ensuring the property is completely vacant, all renovation work completed (and no further works to be completed once styling is in place other than exterior), power is turned on, the interior is clean and driveways/paths are clear for Shift Property Styling to safely access “the Property”. Additional charges will be incurred if “the Property” is not ready on the agreed date of installation (should cleaning or clearing of items from the property need to take place).

Keys can be provided to Shift Property Styling directly by leaving a labelled copy in the letterbox located at the rear of 44 Gormanston Rd Moonah (back of No Frills Food Market). Please advise Shift Property Styling via email or text if this has been done. Alternatively, “the Client” can arrange that a copy of keys that can be collected from the selling agent (if located in the CBD) 48 hours prior to the installation date. Please note that if Shift Property Styling must collect keys and then arrange for a copy to be cut, there will be an additional $50.00 charge to “the client”.

4. DAMAGE TO FURNITURE AND ACCESSORIES
Shift Property Styling will hold and maintain general insurance on all furniture and accessories installed in “the Property” during the lived in rental.

5.4 Wall hooks are required to hang all forms of artwork in “the Property” to ensure they are securely hung (adhesive hooks are unreliable and cause more damage if/when they fail). Shift Property Styling will professionally install picture hooks (masonry walls require drilling and the use of walls plugs) but does not repatriate walls (repaint) after the rental period. Pin hooks will generally be removed at the end of the rental, but if there is a preference for hooks to remain in walls, please advise. If “the Client”has a preference for artwork not to be hung, a request must be made in advance of the styling, otherwise artwork will be hung safely using the appropriate hook.
5.5 Floor rugs are placed on timber floor boards. It is highly recommended if the floors are freshly sanded and sealed that blinds be closed as often as possible to avoid UV damage around the rug (which could leave the floors a different colour after the rental period). Shift Property Styling cannot be held responsible for UV damage to “the Property”.
