· 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.
10.3 Your obligation to return rejected products.

10.4 Transferring our guarantee. You may transfer our guarantee at clause 10.5 to a person who has acquired the product or, where the product is services, any item or property in respect of which we have provided the services. We may require the person to whom the guarantee is transferred to provide reasonable evidence that they are now the owner of the relevant item or property, for example by showing that they are the new homeowner/business owner.
10.5 Warranties and Liabilities
(a) All glass shall be of good quality, but we shall be under no liability whatsoever in respect of minor blemishes and imperfections not guaranteed by the glass manufacturer, nor will it replace any glass cracked or broken after the installation.

11. PRICE AND PAYMENT
11.1 Where to find the price for the product. The price of the product will be the price set out in our quotation at the date of your order unless we have agreed another price in writing. The itemised quotation lists the prices excluding VAT, VAT is shown separately at the bottom of the quotation and is payable by you. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of product advised to you is correct. However please see clause 11.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the product you order.
11.2 We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the product, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the product in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
11.3 What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the products we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the product’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 product’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated on our quotation, 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 and refund you any sums you have paid.
11.4 When you must pay and how you must pay. We accept payment by cheque, cash or BACS. When you must pay depends on what product you are buying and as set out below:
(a) Any order placed with us where a bespoke product is included will require a deposit of 50% of the overall quotation value for the order to proceed. We will invoice you for the balance when we have completed the order unless we have agreed otherwise.
(b) You must pay the deposit invoice before we proceed to manufacture and each invoice thereafter within 30 calendar days after the date of the invoice.
11.5 We can charge interest if you pay late. If you do not make any payment to us by the due date we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of National Westminster Bank Plc 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.
11.6 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.
12. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU
12.1
(a) 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.
(b) By retro fitting flood defence products, we can merely mitigate the impact of flooding. There are no guarantees that the property will be flood proof. We accept no liability in respect of the following:
(i) damage caused or relating to flood damage arising from water entering the property via the over-topping design feature;

(iv) damage resulting from subsidence due to soil shrinkage, underground or mine workings;
(v) damage and/or deterioration to the goods arising out of normal wear and tear;
(vi) damage due to ground water, damp water ingress via any cracks in masonry or brick work and water ingress via any holes, opening, vents, outlets or other conduits or media; or
(vii) minor defects to plaster work and brick work due to settlement.
12.2 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 products as summarised at clause 10.2; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987
12.3 When we are liable for damage to your property. If we are providing services in your property, we will make good any damage to your property caused by us while doing so for example to plaster, floors, rendering or brickwork immediately surrounding any window or door where the services as supplied. However, we are not responsible for the cost of repairing any pre-existing faults or damage to your property that we discover while providing the services nor for damage to surrounding paintwork or other decoration which is commensurate with the fitting of the goods.
12.4 We are not liable for business losses. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity

14. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
14.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer will not affect your rights under the contract. If you are unhappy with the transfer, you may contact us to end the contract within 2 weeks of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you have made in advance for products not provided.
14.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer our guarantee). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. However, you do not need our agreement to transfer the benefit of our guarantee in clause 10.4.
14.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee on to). This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms except as explained in clause 10.4 in respect of our guarantee. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.
14.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
14.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
14.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland, you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland, you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
