5. Fees

5.1. Where possible we will provide you with a fixed fee for our Services. For example, our call out fee will normally be a fixed fee. Where we are unable to provide you with a fixed fee, we will provide you with an estimate. Such estimate will be based on the information that you have provided us with or based on the initial assessment upon the visual inspection of the issue. Our Quotation shall include the fixed or estimated fee payable for our Services and for the estimated sundry parts and other materials required to render the Services.

5.2. Unless we have expressly stated that we will charge you a fixed fee, it is important that you understand that final fee that will be payable to us under the Contract may be different from the initial Quotation. This is because whilst our Quotation is given in good faith, due to the nature of our Services further work may need to be carried out and material or parts may need to be purchased to complete our Services. You will not incur any additional fees without us confirming first what those fees are expected to be.

5.3. Our estimate may change if after submission of the estimate:
5.3.1. You instruct us (in writing or verbally) to carry out additional work not referred to in the estimate or which falls outside the scope of Service Specification;

5.3.2. There is an increase in the price of parts or materials;

5.3.3. It is discovered that further work needs to be carried out because for example, matters come to light, which could not have been reasonably foreseen during our initial assessment or at the time when we have provided an estimate;

5.3.4. The Service is delayed, disrupted or prolonged as a result of your failure to comply with Customer Obligations as set out in paragraph 9;

5.3.5. Where during the power–flush it is established that there are more radiators than initially quoted for or where the boiler manufacturer is different than the one stated at the time of the quote;

5.3.6. It is discovered that there was a manifest error when the estimate was prepared.

5.4. Where our estimate changes, we will inform you of anticipated extra costs and will only carry out additional works once we have your express authorisation. If the costs increase significantly, you will have the right to cancel the contract. You will however be charged for any work already carried out, and parts or materials used up until the time you cancel, including our call out fee.

5.5. Where our Services include planned works, such as boiler installations, bathroom renovations etc, we may need to inspect your Premises before we are able to provide you with the Quotation. Unless otherwise agreed prior to our visit, you will not need to pay us where we inspect your Premises to provide you with a Quotation.

5.6. In the circumstances where we need to inspect the Premises to provide you with repair or maintenance Services, including servicing and gas safety certification, or we need to attend your Premises to assess the issue, provide repair or maintenance Services we will normally charge you a non-refundable call out fee. Different call out rates will apply between our standard hours, which are 8am to 6pm and our enhanced hours which are between 6pm and 8pm. The call out rates applicable will be confirmed at the time of your booking.

5.7. Any additional work carried out will be charged on the basis of our hourly rates as in force from time to time. Our charges will be calculated on the basis of 15-minute units using hourly rates and will be charged for the time spent providing the Services.

5.8. For the avoidance of doubt, unless agreed otherwise, our Service fees do not include parts and material and are chargeable in addition to our Service fees.

5.9. Services include our collection of materials, parts and equipment from any supplier, except for works where the Quotation has been provided beforehand. If the collection of said materials takes part whilst we are on the Premises, the time taken for this will be treated as part of the works and charged at the applicable rate. If any materials are ordered for subsequent collection and delivery, a charge may be made by the company of £55 + VAT.

5.10. We reserve the right to change our fees at any time.

6. Payment Terms

6.1. The precise payment terms will be set out in the Quotation.

6.2. Unless expressly otherwise agreed, we must receive payment before we carry out the Services.

19.5. Force majeure. We will not be liable for delay in performing or failure to perform, any of our obligations under the Contract if such delay or failure result from events, circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control (Force Majeure Event). In such circumstances we shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of the time for performing our obligations under this Contract. If the period of delay or non-performance continues for 14 days, the party not affected may terminate the Contract.

The Contract constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes and extinguishes all previous agreements, promises, assurances, warranties, representations and understandings between them, whether written or oral, relating to its subject matter. Each party acknowledges that in entering into the Contract it does not rely on and shall have no remedies in respect of any statement, representation, assurance or warranty (whether made innocently or negligently) that is not set out in the Contract. Each party agrees that it shall have no claim for innocent or negligent misrepresentation based on any statement in the Contract. Nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud.
