Terms and Conditions
CONDITIONS OF SALE:
1. Ownership
The customer warrants that he is the proprietor, in whole or in part, of the subjects where the installation is to take place and that, in so far as that he may not be the proprietor of the subjects, he enters into the Contract as Agent for any other proprietor or proprietors. For the avoidance of doubt, liability among proprietors, if more than one, is joint and several.
2. Cancellation
The Customer has the right to cancel the Contract, without penalty, provided the Company is notified in writing 7 days from the date on which the Customer received a copy of the Contract, in which case, any deposit will be returned in full. Such notification should be addressed to the Financial Director and should be sent recorded Delivery. After 7 days, if the customer does not wish to proceed with the Contract or refuses to allow the work to be carried out, and so prevents completion, then the customer is liable to pay the appropriate cancellation fee. The deposit will be retained and set against the cancellation fee. This condition will not apply where the Customer has grounds in law for withdrawing from the Contract and will not affect any remedy otherwise competent to the Customer breach of Contract by the Company.
3. Survey
The Company reserves the right to decline this Contract subject to technical surveyor’s report.

The seller shall at any time “including between the date of order and the date of delivery” be entitled to make any changes to the specification of the goods for any reason deemed necessary by the Seller, providing such charge does not materially affect the quality of the goods or their performance.
7. Delivery
Time for delivery is not of the essence of the Contract, and the delivery period quoted is that anticipated at the time of order. The Company will make every effort to maintain or improve on it. However, in the event that the Company should exceed the anticipated date, you have the right to advise the Company in writing, sent by recorded delivery, that if they fail to install the products within a six week period from the date the letter was received, then you are entitled to cancel the Contract and have your deposit refunded.

The Company will however make every endeavour to reinstate damage to roughcasting, plasterwork and internal woodwork, but excluding “tiles and wallpaper” caused solely by the installation of windows and doors. Such reinstatement work will be left in a condition ready for re-decoration. When brickwork has to be knocked down, the Company cannot be held liable for consequent damage.
9. Blinds
The company does not accept any responsibility for the removal or replacement of blinds, curtains, pelmets etc, or for the cost of altering same if they cannot be refitted due to the new window or surround.
10. Complaint

In the event of any dispute as to the sum which may be retained the Company reserves the right to have the matter referred to an independent Surveyor or some other similarly qualified person to determine the proportion of the purchase which may be retained. As soon as the Company rectifies the defect complained of, the balance retained falls due to the Company immediately.
11. Condensation
The Company gives no guarantee whatsoever with regard to these new products reducing the amount of condensation, as the formation of condensation is completely out with the Company’s control.
12. Overdue Accounts
The Company will charge 3% per annum on overdue accounts, and if the full amount is not paid on the due date the Guarantee will be void.
13. Guarantee

A copy of the Guarantee will be forwarded on receipt of the final payment, if paid on the due date. Guarantees are not insurance backed.
14. Access for Installation
The Customer will provide reasonable access to enable installation to be completed as soon as advised that the units are ready.
