If you request that your Order be cancelled, you must confirm this in writing. If you wish to cancel the Services after this time period, please refer to Clause 11.

The amount due will be calculated based upon the Price for the Services, Our Estimate, Start Date and the amount of work (if any) already undertaken by Us. Please refer to sub-Clauses 4.4 and 4.5 if your Order is cancelled before the Services begin, or to Clause 11 if the Services are cancelled after they have begun.

Interest will accrue on a daily basis from the due date for payment until the actual date of payment of the overdue sum, whether before or after judgment. You must pay any interest due when paying an overdue sum.
- The provisions of sub-Clause 5.8 will not apply if you have promptly contacted Us to dispute an invoice in good faith. No interest will accrue while such a dispute is ongoing.
- Providing the Services
- As required by law, We will provide the Services with reasonable skill and care, consistent with best practices and standards in the industry, and in accordance with any information provided by Us about the Services and about Us.
- We will begin providing the Services on the date confirmed with yourself. We reserve the right to change this date and will notify you accordingly to discuss a mutually convenient new start date.
- We will make every reasonable effort to complete the Services on time (and in accordance with your Order). We cannot, however, be held responsible for any delays if an event outside of Our control occurs. Please see Clause 10 for events outside of Our control.
- If We require any information or action from you in order to provide the Services, We will inform you of this as soon as is reasonably possible.
- If the information or action required of you under sub-Clause 6.4 is delayed, incomplete or otherwise incorrect, We will not be responsible for any delay caused as a result. If additional work is required from Us to correct or compensate for a mistake made as a result of incomplete or otherwise incorrect information or action on your part, We may charge you a reasonable additional sum for that work.
- In certain circumstances, for example where there is a delay in you sending Us information or taking action required under sub-Clause 6.4, We may suspend the Services (and will inform you of that suspension in writing).
- In certain circumstances, for example where We encounter a technical problem, We may need to suspend the Services in order to resolve the issue. Unless the issue is an emergency and requires immediate attention We will inform you in advance in writing before suspending the Services.
- If you do not pay Us for the Services as required by Clause 5, We may suspend the Services until you have paid all outstanding sums due. If this happens, We will inform you in writing. This does not affect Our right to charge you interest under sub-Clause 5.8.
- Client Responsibilities
- Protect the Works from vandalism or interference by any third party including pets or other animals
- Remove all existing floor coverings, tacks and staples
- Fully disclose any information that may affect the Our installation procedures (including, but not limited to, disclosing known breaks or tears in the substrate, extensions of existing slabs, thickened beams, specifications of self levelling screed or curing compounds that may have been used)
- Ensure the substrate is adequately ventilated and is structurally sound
- Ensure that the levels of the substrate are satisfactory as the floor coatings can only follow the contours of the substrate and will not correct unevenness
- Remove all fragile items such as glassware, crockery, pot plants, furniture and ornaments. All care taken but no responsibility accepted by Us in this regard should a damages/breakages occur.
- Provide adequate dust sheets to protect furniture and décor. Flaking or crumbling walls should be temporarily covered by yourself until the coatings are dry.
- Extinguish all naked flames prior to coating including, but not limited to, pilot lights, heaters
- We are not insured to remove furniture or fittings and will not do so.
- You must inspect the Works on completion and must complete and sign the Job Completion form. By signing this form, you have agreed that all Works have been completed as per the Estimate and are satisfied with the Work that has been performed. If you are not satisfied with the outcome of how We have completed the Works, you have seven days to send a written letter including photographs to Us. Failure to do so within this time frame, We will not take any responsibility carried on from this period and therefore will accept that the Works have no defects and the Job Completion form will be over righted as satisfied with no errors.
- Minor marks or slight imperfections in the floor finish that can only be viewed from a crouching or kneeling position will not be considered defects.
- Problems with the Services and Your Legal Rights
- We always use reasonable efforts to ensure that Our provision of the Services is trouble-free. If, however, there is a problem with the Services We request that you inform Us as soon as is reasonably possible in writing.
- We will use reasonable efforts to remedy problems with the Services as quickly as is reasonably possible and practical.
- If We do not perform the Services with reasonable skill and care, you have the right to request repeat performance or, if that is not possible or done within a reasonable time without inconvenience to you, you have the right to a reduction in price. If the Services are not performed in line with information that We have provided about them, you also have the right to request repeat performance or, if that is not possible or done within a reasonable time without inconvenience to you (or if Our breach concerns information about Us that does not relate to the performance of the Services), you have the right to a reduction in price. If for any reason We are required to repeat the Services in accordance with your legal rights, We will not charge you for the same and We will bear any and all costs of such repeat performance. In cases where a price reduction applies, this may be any sum up to the full Price and, where you have already made payment(s) to Us, may result in a full or partial refund. Any such refunds will be issued without undue delay (and in any event within 14 calendar days starting on the date on which We agree that you are entitled to the refund) and made via the same payment method originally used by you unless you request an alternative method. In addition to your legal rights relating directly to the Services, You also have remedies if We use materials that are faulty or incorrectly described.
