A job is deemed completed, even if an item needs replacing e.g. a cracked units, faulty handle or slot vent. These issues will be rectified as soon as possible by the company. In any event, snagging items identified and agreed by the company to be rectified, do not give cause or permit for any due payment to be withheld.

If left to the installer we will not be held responsible for any defects after installation,
The Purchaser will provide reasonable access to enable installation to be completed as soon as advised that the units are ready and will notify the Company of a suitable appointment for installation on being advised that the units are ready. If within 28 days of such advice an appointment for reasonable access has not been fixed, the balance of the purchase price is then due and payable.

Date of delivery. The date or dates of delivery quoted or agreed by the Company are given in good faith and all reasonable effort will be made to comply with them, but they shall be treated as approximate and not of the essence of the Contract and can never be made of the essence thereof by the Purchaser without the consent in writing of the Company.
