​

Fixed price work

​

We do not carry out fixed price work. We do provide an estimated total price that will include labour, materials and V.A.T.

Invoices are payable within 14 days of the date stated on the invoice. Invoices unpaid (in total or in part) will carry interest at 3% over the company’s banker’s base rate while any payment remains outstanding.  If payment is not received within 14 days of the date stated on the invoice We reserve the right to refuse to decline to undertake any work for You.

​

Credit Limit

​

We may at any time and at our sole discretion set a credit limit for credit control purposes (‘the Credit Limit’).  The Credit Limit shall operate as a threshold allowed for the total costs outstanding inclusive of unbilled charges and disbursements.  When the Credit Limit is reached, We reserve the right to refuse or decline to provide any labour or materials to You.

​

Time keeping

We will make every effort to attend each job at the time and date agreed with you according to our standard terms and conditions of sale. However, we cannot accept any liability for either arriving late of not at all and for the late delivery or failure to supply materials.

If you instruct us to do works or buy materials and then cancel, we reserve the right to charge you for the cost of any time and materials incurred by us. Charges will be those of our normal terms and conditions.

We give a twelve month guarantee on labour and the duration of the manufacturer’s guarantee for all parts or equipment supplied by us.

You agree that if you do not contact us within 12 months we shall have no liability. You agree to let our insurers inspect any works carried out by us.

Whilst goods remain our property (we continue to have title over them) we have the absolute authority to retake, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of these goods. At any time and without notice we shall also be entitled to enter any premises in which our goods, or any part of them, are installed, stored or kept or it is reasonably believed to be so. We shall be entitled to seek a court injunction to prevent you from selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of such goods. However, the risk in the goods will pass to you on delivery to you. You must insure them at replacement value and if asked you must produce evidence that they are properly insured.

These terms and conditions may not be released, discharged, supplemented, interpreted, varied or modified in any manner except by an instrument in writing signed by our duly authorised representative and you.

Nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud.

​

Severance

If any court or competent authority finds that any provision of this agreement (or part of any provision) is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision or part-provision shall, to the extent required, be deemed to be deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the other provisions of this agreement shall not be affected.

If you incur any expenses, damages, losses or liabilities whatsoever (including, without limitation, legal fees) in connection with or arising from the provision of services by us or as a result of any advice given or failed to be given to you and the our liability to you as a result is established, our total aggregate liability to you under this engagement letter or otherwise shall in no circumstances exceed the sum of £2 million. Any limitation on our liability will apply only to the extent permitted by English law. Nothing in these terms shall exclude or restrict liability arising from fraud or reckless disregard of obligations.
