14         Installations Carried out by The Company 

14.1      It is assumed that all work will be carried out during normal working hours without stoppages. Should our engineers be prevented from working or required to work at weekends, this will incur additional costs.  Our costs are prepared on the basis that work is continuous from start to finish of the job unless it is otherwise specified and agreed that the work be carried out in stages.  Any return visits required due to other services not being ready, e.g. electrical installation or builders work, will be chargeable.   

14.2      All jobs are quoted on the assumption that a natural condensate drain will be possible. Should condensate pumps be found to be required this will be at an additional approximate cost of £150.00 per unit.

14.3      Building work, diamond drilling, making good and access equipment are excluded from this quotation and unless otherwise stated will be the responsibility of others.

14.4      Mains electrical work is not included and is to be carried out by others, unless otherwise stated.  However, interconnecting wiring may be done by ourselves.

14.5      When fixing some equipment it will be necessary for our engineers to cut into ceilings or walls blind.  In these circumstances we cannot take responsibility for pipes and cables that may be damaged unless a specific plan is provided showing the layout of services.

14.6      Planning or landlords permissions required to site condensers or other equipment are outside of our scope of responsibility and it is assumed that on placing an order these matters have been addressed where necessary.  If you require us to assist with planning we are happy to do this on a chargeable basis.

14.7      If this contract should become part of a larger contract it should be noted that no allowance has been made in our quotation price for main contractor discount or retention.  Where commissioning is part of the quotation this will be invoiced separately.  Awaiting commissioning does not provide any basis for withholding payment other than the amount allocated for commissioning. 

14.8      Parking & congestion charges will be charged at cost as an additional item.  If free parking is provided then no parking charges will be levied.  If you are able to suggest any free or low cost parking that may be suitable please advise the office by fax or letter prior to the commencement of the installation.

14.9      Upon placing an order, if credit is required, please request and complete a credit application form.  Please note that it takes approximately seven days to open an account, credit is provided entirely subject to status, in the absence of a satisfactory credit application all sales will be made on a Pro Forma basis.
