2. Entering into a legally binding contract

(ii) where You and We agree orally that We should provide the Services then there will be a legally binding contract on the date of our oral agreement

b) We suggest that before You sign the [estimate / quotation / order form] or orally agree to Us providing Services that You read through these terms and conditions. If You have any questions concerning them please ask Us.

c)You should keep a copy of these terms and conditions for Your records.

3. Providing the Services

a) Once We and You have entered into a legally binding contract We will normally start providing the Services to You at Your requested premises straight away or on a date, or dates and times agreed between Us without further discussion with You. Occasionally the Services will be provided at some other date or time or be dependent on a number of factors.

b) Our aim is to always provide You with the Services:

i. Using reasonable care and skill;

ii. in compliance with commonly accepted practices and standards in the cleaning industry; and

iii. in compliance with all relevant cleaning industry laws and regulations in force at the time We are carry out the Services.

c) Unless We agree otherwise We will provide the Services on normal working days and start work no earlier than 8.00am and finish work no later than 5pm. A normal working day for Us means Mondays to Fridays, excluding any bank or other national holidays.

d) The performance of some of the Services may take place away from the Premises. For example, We may be able only to carry out some of the activities in performing the Services other than at Your Premises or when You are present.

4. Materials

a) At the time We perform the Services We may not have all the Materials We need to perform the Services. This may be for a number of reasons such as:

i. We have not provided an estimate and cannot reasonably establish what Materials are necessary until We start performing the Services; or

ii. where We have provided an estimate, it may not have been reasonably possible to establish the need for particular Materials at the time We provided the estimate. The need for the particular Materials may only be revealed when We start performing the Services; or

iii. whether or not We have provided an estimate, the condition of an item or the area which is the subject of the Services may only become apparent when We start performing the Services and it was not reasonably possible to establish it until that point.

b) In such cases We may need to purchase Materials. If the Materials are available from a local supplier then We normally wish to travel to the supplier and purchase the Materials and return to continue performing the Services. We normally charge for the travel time at our normal charging rate.

c) If the Materials are not available from a local supplier We normally order the Materials and return on another occasion to continue to perform the Services. We will not charge You for any time spent in obtaining Materials if We have brought or ordered the wrong Materials. In such circumstances We will normally charge for the time spent in making telephone calls to suppliers or our office to locate the required Materials.

5. Timing

a) We aim to carry out the Services by the dates and times We either agree with You or notify to You. But We cannot guarantee or provide a firm commitment that:

i) We will start performing the Services by a specified date or time; or

ii) We will complete the performance of all the Services by any specified date or time; or

iii) the performance of any individual part of the Services will be completed by a specified date or time.

b) If We do not start or complete performing the Services within a reasonable period from the date(s) We have agreed or notified then You may either choose either to continue to wait until We can start performing the Services or complete performing them or You can terminate the contract.

c) Where We have started performing the Services and You decide You wish to terminate the contract You will only have to pay for any Services We have performed up to the date of termination and for any Materials which We have legal obligation to pay for. If You have made payment(s) to Us in excess of the amount of Services We have performed or Materials We have purchased, We will return the difference to You within [7] days of the termination.

d) What is a reasonable period of time depends on the type of Services We will be performing and the length of time they will take to perform. For example, if You and We believe that the Services will take only a few hours to perform, then if We fail to start performing the Services within (e.g. half a day) then You may have the right to terminate the contract. But if the Services are due to take several Weeks to perform, then if We fail to start to perform the Services after a couple of Weeks when are due to or We do not perform the Services during a couple of Weeks when We Were due to, then in such circumstances You may be entitled to terminate the contract.
