We may transfer Our rights and/or obligations under the Contract to another company. If We organise for another company to perform some of Our obligations for Us, this will not affect Our responsibility to You under the Contract.
What We need You to do before We install Your Renewables Solution
Before We carry out the Installation or order any equipment, You must satisfy the following conditions (unless We tell You otherwise) (the “Installation Requirements”): 2. The Cooling Off Period period has ended and You haven’t cancelled the Contract or You have sent Us a completed Waiver Form (and We have received it). 3. You have either:
(i) paid Us in full (and any additional costs specified in Your Quote (and We have received); or
(ii) paid Us the Deposit and any additional costs specified in Your Quote (and We have received it); 4. You have a broadband connection at Your Premises to which We can connect Your Renewables Solution to enable communications with the Renewables Solution. 5. You have completed any actions that We have specified in the Quote that You must carry out. 6. Where any consent or certification is required from Your local distribution network operator for the Renewables Solution to be connected to the local distribution network (We will confirm if this is applicable to You), all such consent and certification must be obtained. In order to do this, We will liaise with the local distribution network operator on Your behalf provided that You give Us authority to do so by signing and returning a letter of authority which We will provide to You. 7. As Your Quote is based on the surveys of Your Premises (desktop and/or physical) which We carried out prior to You entering into the Contract with Us, You must not have carried out any renovation, modification or other alteration to the structure of Your Premises or changed its primary use since the date of Our last survey. 8. If some or all of the installation requirements are not satisfied within 30 days of the start date of Your Contract and We have not told You that You do not need to satisfy them, We may cancel the Contract or provide You with a new Quote (which, if You accept, will replace the existing Quote). 9. You must also obtain all consents and permissions by the date on which We complete the Installation to allow Us to carry out the Installation and to keep Your Renewables Solution installed at Your Premises. These consents and permissions may include building regulation completion certificates, planning permissions, landlord consents and mortgagor consents. If We ask You, You must promptly provide Us with proof that You have obtained them. If You have not obtained them all, We may cancel the Contract or provide You with a new Quote (which, if You accept, will replace the existing Quote). 10. We may determine that a structural survey of Your property is required to confirm that Your roof structure is suitable for the Renewables solution installation. If We request a structural survey from You, it is Your responsibility to provide this to Us before We can proceed with the installation. We may cancel the Contract or provide You with a new Quote (which, if You accept, will replace the existing Quote). 11. After an order is placed, there is an opportunity for the customer to send photos to the Us using an online portal. By viewing the photos in advance We can discuss any technical aspects of the installation prior to the engineer attending; this makes the installation process run as smoothly as possible ensuring the right materials are delivered to enable a suitable installation.
You agree that any photos supplied during or after the ordering process are true and accurate images of what the engineer will see at the installation site. 12. If deemed necessary, We may supplement the above steps with a virtual inspection of your property making use of video call software. This allows further opportunity to expand upon any further technical points raised during the pre-installation process.
Alternative options and declining an order
If, upon physical inspection of the site, it is determined that equipment ordered is unsuitable or technically not possible to install as ordered, then We will inform You of why the installation cannot go ahead as ordered and discuss alternative options including any delay to installation that may be incurred. If the customer declines the alternatives offered, or if no alternatives can be offered, then We will give a full refund to the customer, minus any Cancellation Fee that may be applicable, and remove any materials that may have already been delivered to site.
In exceptional cases where We determine an installation cannot take place, We reserve the right to decline any order at any time. Should We decline an order, no damages or expenses of any kind shall be payable by Us to You beyond the refund of any money already paid in relation to the contract. 2. If, upon physical inspection of the site, it is determined that more equipment or a significant amount of extra work is required, then We will inform You of any increase in costs prior to these costs being incurred and issue Requote which must be approved by you (orally or in writing) and will then form part of the Contract (this approval may be carried out either by physical documentation or by email). We will also inform You of any delay to installation that may be incurred. If the customer declines any extra equipment or work required to facilitate the installation work they are entitled to a full refund. 3. We reserve the right to decline any order at any time up until completion. Should We decline an order, no damages or expenses of any kind whatsoever shall be payable by Us to You beyond the refund of any money already paid in relation to the contract. 4. Any changes in materials and/or specifications from those detailed in the original documentation, will only apply when supported by Requote issued by Us, which must be approved by You and will then form part of the Contract (this approval may be carried out either by physical documentation or by email). 5. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the delivery and installation timescales agreed during the ordering process are met, We reserves the right to delay installation for reasons including (for example) fires, strikes, illness, severe weather, lockouts, terrorism, war and any other causes beyond Our control interfering with its execution or completion of the contract. Time shall not be deemed to be the essence of the Contract.
Arranging a date for the Installation
Once We have received and reviewed the survey of Your house from Your sales consultant Our Delivery Team will contact You to arrange a date on which We can begin the Installation (the “Installation Date”). 2. If You want to re-arrange the installation date, You must give Us at least 5 working days notice. If You give Us less than 5 days’ notice, You must pay Us the costs We have incurred as a result. If You rearrange the installation date two times or more, We may cancel the Contract. 3. We may rearrange the Installation Date if We believe that, on the day, the weather or the occurrence of an event or circumstances at or near Your Premises (and which is outside Our reasonable control) means that We cannot carry out the Installation safely. We will try to give You as much advance notice as possible. 4. Time shall not be deemed to be the essence of the Contract. Should We be required to amend the scheduled Installation Date due to engineer availability, then We shall not be held liable to compensate for Loss of Earnings.
Installing Your Renewables Solution
Your Quote will set out how long We think it will take to carry out the Installation at Your Premises. Although every case is different, the Installation of a Renewables Solution will, typically, take between one and three days, although We may need to return to Your Premises on a subsequent day in order to complete the final tests of the Renewables Solution. We may also need to attend Your Premises before and after the Installation in order to set up and dismantle any scaffolding which is required. 2. When adding new equipment to your house, our engineer will need to inspect existing relevant infrastructure to ensure it meets current regulatory standards and is of suitable performance. Should your existing infrastructure fail to meet relevant standards/capacity then We will give you the options to bring the infrastructure up to a standard which allows new equipment to be connected. At this point You may cancel your order for a full refund minus the Cancellation Fee if applicable. If you do not wish to authorise the required additional work(s) but still wish the new equipment to be installed, we will leave the equipment for final connection by others and will not be able to commission the equipment. In such circumstances the customer is still liable to make payment in full as if the installation had been completed. 3. Notwithstanding point 2 above, We cannot guarantee the integrity or suitability of any existing components being connected to as part of your Renewables solution and We cannot be held responsible for the failure of any such components or defects existing within any part of the existing infrastructure that may not have been readily apparent at the point of installation 4. If Your system is being installed under a G99 certificate, in some circumstances Your Renewables Solution may have to be locked off and not used until the local distribution network operator in Your local area has received a copy of the commissioning certificates. Our Technical Team will discuss this with You and manage this prior to the Installation if this is applicable to Your Installation. 5. Hazards during the installation and protection against these
During the Installation there will be hazards such as tools and materials, cables, dust sheets, ladders and scaffolding at Your Premises. We want to keep You, Your family, visitors and Our people as safe as possible so please try to avoid the work areas and take care when entering is required. Please also ensure You follow any instructions the technicians/contractors give you at all times. By signing these terms and conditions You confirm that You understand and are aware of what You need to do regarding the hazards associated with the Installation.
What We need You to do during the Installation
In order for Us to carry out the Installation, You agree to give Us (and Our representatives and sub-contractors) safe, full, free and unrestricted access to Your Premises including access to electricity, broadband, earthing and other relevant services at Your Premises that We need to carry out the Installation.
If We ask, You must empty and otherwise make ready, airing cupboards, storage and other parts of Your Premises to enable the Installation.
Whilst all reasonable efforts will be taken to avoid causing any damage, We Accept no liability for any damages to fragile roof tiles, which may be consequent upon the carrying out of the work detailed to install your Renewables Solution, unless specifically provided for in the schedule(s) in the quotation. It is Your responsibility to raise any known issues that You believe may impact Our ability to install Your Renewables Solution during the pre-sales process to allow us to assess the feasibility of any installation. Failure to do so may result in the actions detailed at section 7.2.
We use a panel of approved third-party subcontractors to provide quotations for the design, erection and dismantling of any scaffolding that may be required at the Premises to install Your Renewables Solution: You acknowledge this and accept that:
If, upon physical inspection of the site, it is determined by the third-party subcontractor providing the scaffolding services that more equipment or a significant amount of extra work is required, then We will inform You of any increase in costs prior to these costs being incurred and issue a Requote which must be approved by you (orally or in writing) and will then form part of the Contract (this approval may be carried out either by physical documentation or by email). We will also inform You of any delay to installation that may be incurred.
Should there be a requirement to erect scaffolding on or over a low roof to enable access to a higher part of the Premises, the scaffolding may cause minor damage to roof tiles on these lower structures. Whilst all reasonable efforts will be taken to avoid any potential damage, you accept that should such damage occur that neither We nor our appointed sub-contractors are liable for such damage to the unavoidable nature of the work involved.
During the Installation:
You, or a responsible person who is over 18 years old and authorised by You, must be at the Premises at all times (unless We agree with You otherwise).
You must take reasonable steps to ensure the health and safety of Our personnel, contractors and sub-contractors whilst they are working at the Premises.
If You do not comply with Your responsibilities set out in Sections 6.3 and 6.5 above for a period of seven days after We have told You about Your non-compliance, We may cancel the Contract.
If We discover an environmental or safety issue or condition at the Premises (such as the existence of asbestos), We will tell You immediately and stop the Installation. You will be responsible for rectifying the issue or condition. Once rectified, We will continue with the Installation. If You do not rectify the issue or condition within three months of Us telling You, We may cancel the Contract or provide You with a new Quote (which, if You accept, will replace the existing Quote).
Goods supplied and delivered by us to you, or your premises, shall remain our property until paid for by you in full. Whilst goods remain our property we have the absolute authority to:
i. Retake, sell or otherwise deal with or dispose of all or any part of these goods.
ii. Enter any premises, at any time and without notice, in which goods or any part thereof is installed, stored or kept, or is reasonably believed so to be.
iii. Seek a court injunction to prevent you from selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of such goods.
You agree to keep the goods we deliver to you safe.
The risk in such goods will pass to you on delivery to you.
If We leave any tools or equipment or goods with You (with Your agreement) and You damage, tamper or lose them (or fail to prevent their damage or loss), We may charge You for Our costs in repairing and/or replacing them.
You agree that you will not exercise a lien over any tools, equipment or goods.
Our responsibilities during the Installation
We will observe all health and safety regulations.
We will use reasonable care and skill.
We will:
take reasonable care to avoid disrupting Your Premises;
remove all waste material relating to the work We have carried out; and
clean up to a reasonable standard, but We will not repaint or redecorate any surfaces affected by Our work or complete any remedial work to building structures and We will not accept responsibility for damage to carpets or other floor coverings, unless We have been negligent.
We will use materials that are of satisfactory quality.
We will ensure that Your Renewables Solution complies with all regulations and standards current at the time of installation. 17. We will use Our reasonable efforts to ensure that the plant and equipment that We install at Your Premises as part of Your Renewables Solution corresponds with the plant and equipment set out in Your Quote. However, We cannot guarantee that the plant and equipment will be available when carrying out the Installation. If any plant and equipment is unavailable, We will install substitute plant and equipment which is of a similar or better specification to the unavailable plant and equipment. 18. If, during the Installation, We find that additional work is required or additional costs will need to be incurred (which has not been caused by Our neglect or default) or if You change the requirements of the Renewables Solution from what is set out in Your Quote, We will provide You with a Requote (which, if You accept, will replace the existing Quote). If You do not accept the Requote, We may cancel the Contract. An example of additional costs that may be incurred is if Your Renewables Solution needs a G99 certificate and the local electricity distribution network decides to impose certain charges for issuing the G99 certificate.
Completion of the Installation
We will let You know once the Installation is complete. Once the Installation has been completed:
You must if You have opted to pay an initial deposit prior to installation pay Us the Final Balance Payment within seven days of the date on which the Installation was completed.
