If you do not allow us access to your property as arranged (and you do not have a good reason for this) or the delivery criteria are not met we will charge you additional costs incurred by us as a result and this must be paid in full before we return to install the product. If, despite our reasonable efforts, we are unable to contact you or re-arrange access to your property we may end the contract
7.19 Unsafe access. If our installers, on arrival to your premises, deem the premises, (including the access route or site of base) to carry features or be in a state that may carry risk to them or the product, we reserve the right to deliver the product to a safe point on or at the entrance of your premises without installation.

Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process.
14.2 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the products including the right to receive products which are: as described and match information we provided to you and any sample or model seen or examined by you; of satisfactory quality; fit for any particular purpose made known to us; supplied with reasonable skill and care and, where installed by us, correctly installed; and for defective products under the Consumer Protection Act 1987.
14.3 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for domestic and private use. If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
- HOW WE MAY USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
15.1 How we will use your personal information. We will use the personal information you provide to us:
15.1.1 to supply the products to you;
15.1.2 to process your payment for the products; and
15.1.3 if you agreed to this during the order process, to inform you about similar products that we provide, but you may stop receiving these at any time by contacting us.
15.2 We may pass your personal information to credit reference agencies. Where we extend credit to you for the products we may pass your personal information to credit reference agencies and they may keep a record of any search that they do.
15.3 Third parties. We will only give your personal information to third parties where the law either requires or allows us to do so.
- YOUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
16.1 You can always end the contract with us. Your rights when you end the contract will depend on what you have bought, whether there is anything wrong with it, how we are performing and when you decide to end the contract:
16.1.1 if what you have bought is faulty or misdescribed you may have a legal right to end the contract (or to get the goods repaired or replaced or to get some or all of your money back);
16.1.2 if you want to end the contract because of something we have done or have told you we are going to do, see clause 16.2; and
16.1.3 in all other cases (if we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind), see clause
16.3.
16.2 What happens if you have a good reason for ending the contract. If you are ending a contract for a reason set out at below the contract will end immediately and we will pay a refund to you for any products which have not been provided or have not been provided properly. The reasons are:
16.2.1 we have told you about an upcoming change to the product or these terms which you do not agree to;
16.2.2 we have told you about an error in the price or description of the product you have ordered and you do not wish to proceed;
16.2.3 there is a risk that supply of the products may be significantly delayed because of events outside our control;
16.2.4 we have suspended supply of the products for technical reasons, or notify you we are going to suspend them for technical reasons; or
16.2.5 you have a legal right to end the contract because of something we have done wrong.
16.3 Ending the contract where we are not at fault and there is no right to change your mind. Even if we are not at fault and you do not have a right to change your mind (see clause 16.1), you can still end the contract before it is completed, but you may have to pay us compensation. A contract is completed when the products are delivered and paid for. If you want to end a contract before it is completed where we are not at fault and you have not changed your mind, just contact us to let us know. The contract will end and we will refund any sums paid by you for products not provided, but we may deduct from that refund (or, if you have not made an advance payment or your advance payment doesn’t cover such costs invoice you) reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your ending the contract. The costs we deduct will include (but may not be limited to) the following:
16.3.1 our administrative costs, e.g., what it costs us to cancel orders with suppliers and process your refund;
16.3.2 any costs we have incurred in starting to manufacture the product you ordered e.g., money we have spent on materials and/or labour (so the closer to delivery you cancel, the greater our costs will be);
16.3.3 if we have completed the manufacture of the product you have ordered, the difference between the price you would have paid us and the price we will be able to sell your product on the open market (bearing in mind that if your product is bespoke it is unlikely that we will be able to sell it at full price);
16.3.4 any storage costs we reasonably incur; and
16.3.5 any other costs we reasonably incur in connection with the cancellation of your order.

- OUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT
17.1 We may end the contract if you break it. We may end the contract for a product at any time by writing to you if:
17.1.1 you do not make any payment to us when it is due; or
17.1.2 you do not, within a reasonable time of us asking for it, provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the products; or
17.1.3 you do not, within a reasonable time, allow us to deliver the products to you; or

17.2 You must compensate us if you break the contract.

- OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
18.1 We may transfer our rights to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation.
18.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else (except that you can always transfer our guarantee). You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing.
18.3 Nobody else has any rights under this contract (except someone you pass your guarantee on to). This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, except as explained in section 12.
18.4 If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
18.5 Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the products, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
18.6 Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings. These terms are governed by English law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Scottish or the English courts.
