EnergyZone Terms and Conditions

For your Energy Zone installation, Order and Agreement

These terms and conditions set out the conditions on which we will deal with each other if your order to Perkins Solutions Limited trading as Energy Zone ("Energy Zone") an MCS certified installer, to deliver and/or install the technology specified in the Order ("the System") at the property is accepted by the receipt of an email referencing the quotation or by our commencing delivery or installation. We will carry out the work specified in the quotation in writing by an Energy Zone representative (" the Quotation") for the amount quoted (" the Contract Price") subject to the following Terms and Conditions. All prices quoted exclude VAT unless stated otherwise on the Order

The Quotation is valid from the time of Quotation and will expire if not accepted by you in writing within 28 days of that date. All quotations are subject to installation taking place within four (4) calendar months from and including the date the quotation is accepted.
If you are intending to claim government incentives such as tariff payments or funding for your installation you must check your eligibility to receive such tariffs or funding.
Our normal business hours are between 09.00 and 17.00 Monday to Friday. We are only able to carry out installation work during daylight hours. If you want us to work outside these hours, it may be necessary for us to make additional charges which we will agree with you in advance in writing.
The time estimate provided for completing the work is our best estimate and we will make every effort to complete the work on time, however, we cannot be held responsible for delays due to weather or other circumstances beyond our control. In such circumstances we will revise with you the time estimates we originally provided. If you fail to accept delivery of goods or do not permit the installation to proceed on the date which has been notified we may make a reasonable charge for any costs incurred or losses suffered by us. If you notify us of any alteration to timings for delivery or installation before 10.00AM on the first working day prior to the date of delivery or installation that will help reduce any costs that may be incurred.
Work is guaranteed for two years from the date that the installation is completed. These guarantees do not affect your statutory rights in relation to the quality and description of goods and services. You can contact your local authority trading standards or Citizen's Advice Bureau if you need more information about your statutory rights. If the survey is carried out by others on your behalf no claims will be accepted for inappropriate goods ordered. We reserve the right to vary drawings, specifications, materials or services provided as part of the order so as to comply with changes in statutory requirements, availability of materials or design modifications. Such changes may give rise to an adjustment of the Contract Price and we will notify of the proposed change and the adjustment to the Contract Price. Any such adjustment shall be on the basis of a fair valuation of the change. We will provide manufacturers' guarantees for goods as specified in the Order. Faulty goods will be replaced in accordance with the manufacturer's guarantee.
We will take all reasonable care to carry out the work without causing unnecessary damage to your property. While we will make good unnecessary damage directly caused by our negligence, you accept that the installation and related work may cause damage to finishes and landscape, both internally and externally and that certain areas may need redecoration following completion of the installation. Redecoration and or landscaping will be your responsibility and is not included in the quotation.
If you are a tenant you may need your landlord's prior written permission to carry out the work detailed in the quotation. In the absence of your advice to the contrary we will assume that you have made enquiries and obtained permissions where required. We shall not have any liability for unauthorised works and you shall indemnify us for any losses howsoever arising that we incur from your failure to obtain such permissions. You may require Planning Permission and/or approval under Building Regulations to carry out the work detailed in the quotation. In the absence of your advice to the contrary we will assume that you have made enquiries and obtained permissions and approvals where required. We shall not have any liability for unauthorised works and you shall indemnify us for any losses howsoever arising that we incur from your failure to obtain such permissions.
If you have a Leasehold interest in the property you will need to obtain the Freehold owner(s) prior written permission to carry out the work detailed in the quotation. In the absence of your advice to the contrary we will assume that you have made enquiries and obtained such permission(s). We shall not have any liability for unauthorised works and you shall indemnify us for any losses howsoever arising that we incur from your failure to obtain such permission(s).
Where we have connected new equipment to your existing system we will not accept responsibility for the cost of repairing or replacing parts of your existing system which subsequently develops faults in that system unless we have been negligent in not realising that such damage may occur or if the way we carried out the work directly caused the fault.
We do not accept liability if we cannot fulfil our side of the agreement for reasons which are beyond our control such as fire, accidents, war, adverse weather conditions, industrial disputes, strikes and lockouts which we are not directly involved in.
To carry out the work as quickly as possible we may need to use sub-contractors. All sub-contractors are approved by Energy Zone and are experienced, qualified and accredited to carry out their work.
It is your responsibility to obtain any planning permission or other consent required for the works to your property. It is your responsibility to ensure that we have clear and lawful access to your property or any part thereof for the carrying out of the work. If our work is delayed and or disrupted due to your failure to provide the same we may charge our reasonable costs incurred.
Goods supplied and delivered by us to you shall remain our property until paid for by you in full and any arrears or interest charges under the contract have been paid. Whilst goods remain our property (we continue to have title over them) we have the absolute authority to retake, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of these goods. At any time and without notice we shall also be entitled to enter any premises in which our goods, or any part of them, are installed or stored or it is reasonably believed to be so. We shall be entitled to seek a court injunction to prevent you from selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of such goods.
The deposit of 25% of the Contract Price as shown on the Order must be paid when you place your order. There may be further interim payment due throughout the project as each element of the installation is completed ( valued monthly) and a final invoice on completion of the project which shall Unit 7 The Old Dairy New House Farm Cleobury Mortimer Shropshire DY14 8RD 01299 270011 www.energyzone.co.uk sales@energyzone.co.uk be paid prior to the release of any certification.

Unless payable as a deposit or retention then all sums must be paid within 7 days of their becoming due.
