The total charge to you will be given as a firm cost (manifest errors exempted), inclusive of labour & materials. All costs are subject to VAT at the prevailing rate.
Where a written estimate has been supplied to you, the total charge outlined in the estimate should not exceed the actual time taken by more than 20%, but may be revised in the following circumstances:

Offers & Incentives
On an ongoing basis, at our discretion, we promote a selection of offers and incentives, which will be clearly defined, including any specific terms & conditions. Offers and incentives may only be used in conjunction with each other at our discretion.
Material Collection
Collection of non-stock items is chargeable, however:
- Time taken will be kept to a minimum and within reason and should not exceed 30 minutes.
- In unforeseen circumstances that the collection time is likely to exceed 30 minutes, you will receive prior notification of the reason.

Invoices & Payment
Upon your agreement for us to carry out estimated or prebooked work, we may require an upfront deposit for the purchase of materials at our discretion

We reserve the right to charge you our costs incurred in the process of collecting unpaid invoices, should we need to instruct a third party on our behalf to do so.
You accept sole liability to make payment in full unless you disclose when initially instructing us to carry out work and/or supply materials that you are acting on behalf of a third party.
Timekeeping
Where the date and/or time for work to be carried out is agreed, we will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that the tradesperson attends accordingly. We accept no liability in respect of the non-attendance or late attendance on site of the tradesperson or for the late or non-delivery of materials.
We will not be liable for any delay, or for the consequences of any delay, in performing any of our obligations if such delay is due to any cause beyond our reasonable control, and we will be entitled to a reasonable extension of the time for performing such obligations.

Cancellations made further in advance should also be made by telephone, and you should request written confirmation from us so that you are not liable to be charged.
If you cancel your instructions within 48 hours prior to work being carried out or materials being supplied, you will be liable for the cost of any time and materials, restocking fee and handling charges incurred by us, together with the profit that would have been made by us, in accordance with the original instructions and a 1-hour minimum service fee charge.
Please note all deposits for fixed price work are non-refundable as per section 10.
Satisfaction
Greenview Projects Electrical Division Ltd is committed to providing professional, top-quality service to every customer. If, after we have carried out the work, you are not wholly satisfied with our service(s), you must provide us with written notice within 12 months. You must allow us, and our insurers, the opportunity to both inspect and carry out remedial work where appropriate. If you fail to notify us, as outlined above, then we will not be liable in respect of any defects in the work carried out.
Guarantee
For your peace of mind, we provide a 12-month guarantee on labour carried out by a Greenview Projects Electrical Division Ltd tradesperson, in respect of faulty workmanship only. This is active from the date of completion of work, in addition to any manufacturer’s warranty/warranties.
The guarantee will become null & void if the work/appliance completed/supplied by us is:
- Subject to misuse or negligence.
- Repaired, modified, or tampered with by anyone other than a Greenview Projects Electrical Division Ltd tradesperson.
We will accept no liability for, or guarantee the suitability of, materials supplied by you & will accept no liability for any consequential damage or fault. We will not guarantee any work in respect of:
- Any work undertaken on instruction from you and against the written or verbal advice of the tradesperson.
- Work is only guaranteed in respect of work directly undertaken by us and with full payment having been made. Any non-related faults arising from recommended work that has not been undertaken by us will not be guaranteed.
Where we agree to carry out work on installations of inferior quality (or over 10 years old), no warranty is given in respect of such work, and we accept no liability in respect of the effectiveness of such work or otherwise.
Liability
We will only be liable for rectifying our own guaranteed work and will not be held responsible for any ensuing damage or claims resulting from other work overlooked or subsequently requested and not undertaken at the time.
We will not be held liable or responsible for any damage or defect resulting from work not fully guaranteed, or where recommended work has not been carried out. Work will not carry a guarantee where you have been notified by the tradesperson either verbally or indicated in ticked boxes or in our comments/recommendations.
We shall not be held liable for any delay, or consequences of any delay, in performing our obligations if such a delay is due to any cause beyond our reasonable control and we shall be entitled to reasonable time extensions.
We will be entitled to fully recover the costs or damages from any tradesperson whose negligence or faulty workmanship makes us liable to pay for those damages or rectification of work.
Title to Goods
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:
- Retake, sell or otherwise deal with or dispose of all or any part of these goods.
- 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.
- Seek a court injunction to prevent you from selling, transferring, or otherwise disposing of such goods.
The risk in such goods will pass to you on delivery. You must insure them at replacement value, and if asked, you must produce evidence that they are properly insured.
