Price guides
- HWH will adhere to the Gazetted Price Guide or any other legislated pricing arrangements and guidelines.
- We will declare relevant prices to all participants before service delivery, including notice periods or cancellation terms.
- We understand that clients are not bound to engage our services after prices are declared.
- Prices charged to participants will not exceed the price level prescribed for that support in the relevant Price Guide.
Fees
- Regardless of whether HWH manages the service delivery or a third party, no other charges are added to the cost of the service, such as:
- credit card surcharges
- any additional fees such as ‘gap’ and late payment fees.
- Cancellation fees are only chargeable if mentioned explicitly in the Gazetted Price Guide for that support.
Payment requests
- We will make payment requests only after services have been delivered or provided and within a reasonable time (no later than 60 days from the end of the Service Booking).
Fraudulent claims
- HWH will not make claims other than those based on agreed services delivered and priced according to the relevant price guide
- We will notify the appropriate body as soon as possible if an error or fraudulent claim is discovered.
