This will have a running total at the top of the spreadsheet which will also include payments received and credit/owing totals.

Work will commence once payment is made. 8)  All jobs progressing longer than one week require a weekly progress payment (invoiced each Friday). Additional invoices/payments will only be required if higher than average materials costs are used for your particular job. 9)  Single invoices will not exceed $5000+GST. Should your account reach and/or exceed $5000+GST sooner than the weekly invoice period (as per above) you will be sent an additional invoice to cover the extra costs. The progress payment will need to be paid and received within seven(7) days (as per stated on every invoice) in order to keep the listed work progressing. 10)  ALL vehicles, parts (both fitted or delivered separately), other materials and/or items which are left at Trackart Custom Fabrications Pty.
