TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Please read these Terms & Conditions carefully, as they set out your legal rights and obligations in relation to my services. By accepting the quotation, paying the deposits required and the contract starting, the client is deemed to accept all of the terms and conditions listed below.
1. Scope of work
1.1 The work as detailed shall be carried out to the standard a reasonable person can expect.
1.2 The client is to indicate the details and extent of what is required before work commences.
2. Quotation
2.1 All quotations are valid for 30 days only and may be subject to alteration after that date.
2.2 The quotation is a best estimate of price at the time of submission taking into account the current cost of materials, existing site conditions and layout at the time of viewing.
2.3 Acceptance of the quotation signifies acceptance of these terms and conditions of the contract documents and represents a binding contract between the parties. It should be noted that any subsequent cancellation by the client may involve the client being liable to a cancellation fee and any loss of expenses incurred as a result at the discretion of MPL
2.4 Only the work described in the quotation is included; the supply of any other materials or labour costs to carry out such works other than stated within the quotation is excluded. Any alteration, modification or extras beyond the work specified in the quotation may be liable for an additional cost, which will be agreed by both parties prior to being undertaken.
2.5 No allowance is made in the quotation for any extra work required due to unknown, hidden or underground features, and will be quoted for before further work continues.
3. Payment
3.1 The client accepts that he/she will pay the full contract sum (all costs incurred).
3.2 Payment terms:
The client will be required to pay the balance on the day of completion, unless a prior otherwise agreement has been made.
3.3 The client will pay any extra works, or costs due to unknown difficulties or changes, which are not within the estimate.
3.4 Where invoices are required, the client will pay the full amount, as quoted, on the day of receipt. Any extra work completed, due to any agreed change of plan/unforeseen problems will be paid within 3 days of additional invoice.
3.5 Materials need to be purchased in advance and if the costs of these exceed £1000 then a deposit will be payable on or before the agreed start date.
3.6 In the event it is necessary to institute legal recovery of the outstanding sum the client will be liable to pay MPL's legal fees in full.
3.7 In the event that a change in materials from that already delivered on-site is required as a result from a subsequent client change of mind, the client will be solely responsible for payment of all additional costs.
4. The Site
4.1 The client commits to granting sufficient and reasonable access to the site throughout the period of execution of the contract.
4.2 MPL undertakes to make all reasonable endeavours to complete the work within a reasonable timeframe or by a specific date if so agreed. However, unforeseen circumstances may hinder progress, and MPL will keep the client informed.
5. General
5.1 MPL will agree a date and time with you for the works to commence and I shall employ my best efforts to ensure I attend on the agreed time and date. However, the agreed start date is subject to change, work could be started earlier (with the client’s agreement) in the event of earlier than expected completion of prior work, or later, (informing the client affected) that prior work has run over due to unforeseen circumstances.
5.2 Any date or dates included in our estimate or quotation are estimated dates and MPL shall not be in breach of this agreement for failing to start or finish by any date given.
5.3 We shall not be liable for and accept no responsibility for any unforeseeable loss you may suffer as a result to the works carried out, nor shall we be liable for any loss of nature which is not caused by our negligence or our breach of the terms of the agreement between us.
5.4 This contract shall be regarded as an English contract and shall be construed and the rights of parties according to the laws of England and Wales.
