SPECIFICATION

The seller reserves the right to change product specification due to improved component parts which may become available from time to time.

GUTTERING, DOWN-PIPES AND SURFACE WATER

Guttering and down-pipes are always included as standard in the sellers quotations. The seller normally only caters for ‘above ground’ drainage but is prepared to price for installing underground drainage in the form of soak-a-ways. Alternatively, the Seller recommends that the buyer contacts a local builder if more extensive or comprehensive drainage is required.

WATER BUTTS

Unfortunately, once supplied or fitted, the Seller cannot take responsibility for ongoing use of Water Butts. Therefore, please note that use of Water Butts supplied by the Seller is at your own risk.
However, the Seller would like you to make the most of these environmentally friendly devices and offers some safety guidelines. Please contact the seller for further advice.

DEFERRED INSTALLATION

If the buyer or the buyer’s agent delays installation for any reason after a signed order has been placed, the buyer must pay at least half of the agreed amount no later than 14 days after the original agreed installation date so as to offset the sellers material costs and labour costs incurred during manufacture of the bespoke goods. In return for payment, the seller agrees to store the bespoke goods for up to one month at no cost to the buyer, after which time the full balance will become due plus any relevant storage costs.

RETENTION OF TITLE

All goods are sold on retention of title and will therefore remain the property of the seller until the buyer has paid for them in full.

CODE 3 LEAD FLASHING

We will use lead flashing wherever possible to seal the back of our canopies.
This is usually only possible on brick walls where we can cut a groove into the wall in which to fix the lead. On all other installations including over windows, ‘Flash-band’ or silicon sealant may be used and if so, we cannot guarantee a watertight seal.

GUARANTEE

The seller’s guarantees will not effect the buyers statutory rights.
Guarantee Certificates are issued after completion of work and when full payment has been received, copies are available on request.

LAW OF CONTRACT

The order on acceptance, will be deemed to be an English Contract governed by English Law.
