7.1
When we will provide the services.  We will supply the services to you from the date set out in the order for the time period set out in the order or until we have completed the services. The estimated completion date for the services is as told to you during the order process.
7.2
We’ll carry out any repairs or visits you’re entitled to within a reasonable time, unless something beyond our control makes that impossible, including but not limited to, unavailability of parts or goods from the manufacturer - in which case we’ll let you know as soon as possible and give you another time when we can visit.
7.3
We are not responsible for delays outside our control.  If our performance of the services is affected by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any services you have paid for but not received.
7.4
If you do not allow us access to provide services.  If you have asked us to provide the services to you at your property and you do not allow us access to your property as arranged (and you do not have a good reason for this) we may charge you additional costs incurred by us as a result. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange access to your property we may end the contract and Clause 7.3 will apply.
7.5
What will happen if you do not provide required information to us.  As we informed you in the description of the services on our website, we will need certain information from you so that we can provide the services to you, including but not limited to boiler appliance types, plumbing appliance types, manufacturers details, nature of issue, scope of works to be carried out. We will contact you in writing to ask for this information. If you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with this information, or you provide us with incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract (see Clause 3.13) or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result. We will not be responsible for providing the services late or not providing any part of them if this is caused by you not giving us the information we need within a reasonable time of us asking for it.
7.6
Our engineers will only work on your property if there’s someone 18 years old or older there at all times during the visit. Our engineers reserve their rights to request that you provide us with identification to prove that you meet the minimum age requirement and that you are authorised to provide access to the property. It’s your responsibility to give us access to your property. If we can’t get access we won’t be able to complete the work and it’s then up to you to arrange another appointment. If you don’t re-arrange the appointment, your agreement will still continue. After several failed attempts to get into your property, we may cancel your agreement but we’ll let you know beforehand.
7.7
Authority to carry out work If you’re not at the property when our engineer visits.  You must make sure that there is somebody else present who can give instructions to our engineer, on your behalf. If you do not own the property, you confirm that you have obtained the owner’s permission before you authorise us to start work on the property. We do not accept any liability for unauthorised works. You will be responsible for any losses, costs or damages which we incur as a result of any claims made against us for repairs carried out without the necessary consent.
7.8
If you want an authorised contact it’s your responsibility to let us know who they are so that we can note it on your agreement.
7.9
Working in dangerous or unsafe conditions.  We won’t start or continue doing any work in your home if we believe there’s a health and safety risk, for example: hazardous chemicals, pest infestations, verbal or physical abuse, or harassment. And we won’t return to finish the work until that risk is gone. If any asbestos needs to be removed before we can repair your boiler or plumbing appliance or system, you’ll need to arrange and pay for someone else to remove it and give you a Certificate of Reoccupation which you’ll need to show us.
7.10
From time to time, we may tell you that your boiler, appliance or system needs permanent repairs or improvements that aren’t covered by your agreement to keep working safely. For example, if your ventilation doesn’t meet current gas safety regulations. If you don’t follow this advice, it will affect certain parts of your cover – but your agreement will keep running until you or we change or cancel it.
7.11
If your boiler or plumbing appliance or system is covered by a third- party warranty, it’s your responsibility to make sure that any work we do doesn’t affect that warranty.
7.12
If your Product includes replacing appliances our engineer will estimate how old it is. If you disagree you’ll need to show us either the original from new receipt, a dated guarantee or proof of when it was first installed.
7.13
We will take reasonable care to carry out the work without causing unnecessary damage to your property, however you accept that the work (including removing or dismantling existing fixtures and fittings) may cause damage and certain areas may need redecoration following completion of the work. We will fill in any holes and leave the surface level if we have had to make access to your system so we could carry out the work, however, we will not replace the original surface or construction (for example, redecoration), unless the damage has been caused directly by our negligence.
7.14
We will attend your specified address to carry out the service on the date stated in your Order confirmation e-mail. If we’ve already carried out a first service or an annual service at your address in the last twelve months, we won’t carry out another one – even if you’ve just moved in.
7.15
If we’ve installed a new boiler or plumbing service for you the first service will be carried out as part of the installation. At the first service our engineer and/ or plumbing team will check that your boiler or plumbing appliances are on our approved list and your boiler and/or plumbing and/or central heating and ventilation don’t have any pre-existing faults. If we find it’s not on the approved list or it has a pre-existing fault we will:
7.15.1
Tell you what needs to be done to fix it – this includes providing you with the contract details for the manufacturer.

8.5
We may not repair or replace any parts that have been deliberately damaged or misused. Our engineer will use their expert judgement to determine how the damage was done.

Summary of your key legal rights

This is a summary of your key legal rights. These are subject to certain exceptions. For detailed information please visit the Citizens Advice website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says:

you can ask us to repeat or fix a service if it’s not carried out with reasonable care and skill, or get some money back if we can’t fix it.

if you haven’t agreed a price beforehand, what you’re asked to pay must be reasonable.

if you haven’t agreed a time beforehand, it must be carried out within a reasonable time.
11.3

if remedying the defect is impossible or cannot be done within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience to you we will refund the price you have paid for the services.
11.3.2
in all other circumstances, we will use every effort to repair or fix the defect free of charge, without significant inconvenience to you, as soon as we reasonably can and, in any event, within 12 months. If we fail to remedy the defect by this deadline we will refund the price you have paid for the services.
11.3.3
Our guarantee only applies to our Services but does not apply to our Products.

12. PRICE AND PAYMENT

12.1
Where to find the price for the services.  The price of the services (which includes VAT) will be the price set out in our price list under Schedule 1 to this Agreement as in force at the date of your order unless we have agreed another price in writing. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of services advised to you are correct. However please see Clause 10.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the services you order.
12.2
We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT.  If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we provide the services, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the services in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
12.3
What happens if we got the price wrong.  It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the services we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the service’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the service’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated in our price list, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order. If we accept and process your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract, refund you any sums you have paid and not perform the services.
12.4
When you must pay and how you must pay.  For one- off repairs and boilers services you must make an advance payment of 50% of the price of the Services, before we start providing them. We will invoice you for the balance of the price of the services when we have completed them. You must pay each invoice within 7 calendar days after the date of the invoice. We accept payment by credit card, debit card or BACS transfer For ongoing services and gas and electricity supply you can pay for your agreement yearly by debit or credit card or Direct Debit – or monthly by Direct Debit. All of our prices include the relevant taxes at the current rate.
12.4.1
If you are paying by Direct Debit you agree that you will complete the Direct Debit Mandate Form provided to you. You agree that on the Due Date, the Bank will debit the billed amount quoted on the invoice from the deposit account number quoted on the Direct Debit Mandate Form owned by you, or such other accounts with the Bank as designated in writing by you (the "Designated Account"). You may terminate this Direct Debit arrangement at any time by sending written notice to the Bank at the address specified at the end of this Agreement, however, this shall terminate our agreement with you and we shall no longer provide you with our Services.

12.5
We can charge interest if you pay late.  If you do not make any payment to us by the due date (see Clause 10.4) we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of [BANK] from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
12.6
What to do if you think an invoice is wrong.  If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.

13. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU

13.1
We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us.  If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
13.2
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so.  This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the services including the right to receive services which are as described and supplied with reasonable skill and care.

We are also not responsible for replacing or restoring to its original condition any original surface or coverings, for example, tiles, floor coverings, decoration, grass or plants.
