Payment terms will be as specified in the estimate/quote, and will generally involve weekly invoices for work performed as a project or installation progresses. Issues that arise as a result of the building structure, or compatibility of various electronic components or systems, may necessitate variations to initial estimates/quotes.

If VAF is engaged to provide on-site installation services, you agree to ensure that the installation site is reasonably accessible, safe and free of hazards.
