If agreed at the time of order confirmation, additional members of the Company’s staff may be made available to assist with installations/placements at an agreed rate. The hours worked will be calculated from the time the member of staff leaves the Company’s premises until such time as they return.

Due to traffic issues and distances involved, sometimes deliveries may be attempted outside of normal office hours.

Where Goods are delivered in instalments or by part delivery, the Buyer will not be entitled to treat the delivery of faulty Goods, or the late delivery of Goods, in one instalment or part delivery as repudiation of the entire contract.
