However, if in Central Coast Hydraulics’ opinion, it is believed that the materials supplied are non-conforming products and will not conform with state and/or territory regulations, then Central Coast Hydraulics shall be entitled, without prejudice, to halt the Services until the appropriate conforming products are sourced and all costs associated with such a change to the plans and design will be invoiced in accordance with clause 5.2.
