RemoteQuote Terms and Conditions

1. Scope of Service 

PropertySafe Pty Ltd (ABN 37 125 870 260) provides RemoteQuote as an app-based video software that allows service providers to communicate with their customers via a two-way audio and one-way video service. The purpose of RemoteQuote is to allow service providers to provide quotes on repairs, maintenance and other work to be completed without the need to physically attending the customers location.

We are not a party to any agreement between a service provider and 3rd party requesting a quote or engaging a service provider to undertake work, nor the decision by the service provider to offer to use the services of RemoteQuote to the 3rd party. Any terms governing the provision of the quote or any contract for work to be undertaken is strictly between those parties and is subject to the terms agreed between them.  

Service providers access the RemoteQuote web portal through any supported browser software on desktop PC, laptop or mobile device. When connecting to a customer, the customer will be asked to download a mobile “RQ App” to connect with the service provider and to facilitate the stream of recorded content. 

RemoteQuote facilitates storage and retrieval of video and audio content uploaded using the RQ App. The RQ App is provided at no cost to service provider customers. 

Service providers pay fees for access to RemoteQuote which are published on the RemoteQuote website.

RemoteQuote does not provide payment processing functions between parties using the RemoteQuote platform. Payment processing for activities facilitated by RemoteQuote is arranged direct between the service provider and the party ordering the service in the manner agreed by both parties.
