      • make a selection; or
      • have the site ready for the Works; or
      • notify Supplier that the site is ready.
    3. Any time or date given by Supplier to the Customer is an estimate only.

    1. The Customer shall inspect the Works on Delivery and shall within seven (7) days of such time (being of the essence) notify the Supplier of any alleged defect, error or omission, shortage in quantity, damage or failure to comply with the description or quotation. The Customer shall afford the Supplier an opportunity to inspect/review the Works within a reasonable time following such notification if the Customer believes the Works are defective in any way. If the Customer fails to comply with these provisions the Works shall be presumed to be free from any defect or damage. For defective Works, which the Supplier has agreed in writing that the Customer is entitled to reject, the Supplier’s liability is limited to either (at the Supplier’s sole discretion) re-providing the Works or rectifying/repairing the Works.
    2. Subject to the conditions of warranty as follows and those (if any) that may be contained in any warranty supplied by the Supplier to the Customer, the Supplier warrants that if any defect in any of the Works undertaken by the Supplier (or any part of it) becomes apparent and is reported to the Supplier, then the Supplier will either (at the Supplier’s sole discretion) replace or repair the Works (or any part(s) of it). The conditions applicable to this warranty are:
      • The warranty will be valid for the timeframe (after Delivery in accordance with clause 5) as specified by the Supplier;
      • If any defect does not materialise prior to the date provided in accordance with sub-clause (a), the Supplier will have no liability to the Customer under the warranty, and the Customer releases the Supplier from all claims for loss or damage in any way connected with the workmanship from that date;
      • The warranty shall cease, and the Supplier shall thereafter in no circumstances be liable under the terms of the warranty, if the Works are repaired or altered without the Supplier’s consent; and
      • In respect of all claims the Supplier shall not be liable to compensate the Customer for any delay in either replacing or remedying the Works or in properly assessing the Customer’s claim.
    3. Notwithstanding clauses 11.1 to 11.5, the Supplier shall not be liable for any defect or damage which may be caused or partly caused by or arise as a result of:
      • The Customer failing to properly maintain or store the Works;
      • The Customer using the Works for any purpose other than that for which they were designed;
      • The Customer continuing the use of the Works after any defect became apparent or should have become apparent to a reasonably prudent operator or user;
      • The Customer failing to follow any instructions or guidelines provided by the Supplier; or
      • Fair wear and tear, any accident, or act of God.
  12. Consumer Guarantees Act 1993
    1. If the Customer is acquiring Works for the purposes of a trade or business, the Customer acknowledges that the provisions of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 do not apply to the provision of Works by the Supplier to the Customer.

    2. If the Customer owes the Supplier any money the Customer shall indemnify the Supplier from and against all costs and disbursements incurred by the Supplier in recovering the debt (including legal costs on a solicitor and own-Customer basis, the Supplier’s collection-agency costs and bank dishonour fees).
    3. Without prejudice to any other remedies the Supplier may have, if at any time the Customer is in breach of any obligation (including those relating to payment, whether or not the payment is due to the Supplier) the Supplier may suspend or terminate the provision of Works to the Customer, and any of its other obligations under the Terms. The Supplier will not be liable to the Customer for any loss or damage the Customer suffers because the Supplier has exercised its rights under this clause.
    4. Without prejudice to the Supplier’s other remedies at law, the Supplier shall be entitled to cancel all or any part of any order of the Customer which remains unfulfilled and all amounts owing to the Supplier shall, whether or not due for payment, become immediately payable if:
      • Any money payable to the Supplier becomes overdue, or in the Supplier’s opinion the Customer will be unable to make a payment when it falls due;
      • The Customer becomes insolvent, commits an act of bankruptcy, convenes a meeting with its creditors or proposes or enters into an arrangement with creditors, or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

  15. General
    1. The failure by the Supplier to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not be treated as a waiver of that provision, nor shall it affect the Supplier’s right to subsequently enforce that provision.

    4. The Customer shall not be entitled to set off against, or deduct from the Price, any sums owed or claimed to be owed to the Customer by the Supplier nor to withhold payment of any invoice because part of that invoice is in dispute.
    5. The Customer agrees that the Supplier may amend these Terms at any time. If the Supplier makes a change to these Terms, then that change will take effect from the date on which the Supplier notifies the Customer of such change.
