website www.adviceguide.org.uk or call 03454 04 05 06.
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 says:
you can ask us to repeat or fix a service if it's not carried out with reasonable care and skill, or get some money back if we can't fix it.
if you haven't agreed a price beforehand, what you're asked to pay must be reasonable.
if you haven't agreed a time beforehand, it must be carried out within a reasonable time.
9.3Our guarantee in addition to your legal rights. We offer the following goodwill guarantee which is in addition to your legal rights (as
described in clause 9.2) and does not affect them. In the unlikely event there is any defect with the services:
(a)if remedying the defect is impossible or cannot be done within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience to you we will refund
the price you have paid for the services.
(b)in all other circumstances we will use every effort to repair or fix the defect free of charge, without significant inconvenience to you,
as soon as we reasonably can and, in any event, within [TIME PERIOD]. If we fail to remedy the defect by this deadline we will refund the
price you have paid for the services.
9.4Transferring our guarantee. You may transfer our guarantee at clause 9.3 to a person who has acquired any item or property in respect of
which we have provided the services. We may require the person to whom the guarantee is transferred to provide reasonable evidence that
they are now the owner of the relevant item or property, for example by [INSERT DETAILS].
10.Price and payment
10.1Where to find the price for the services. The price of the services (which includes VAT) will be the price set out in our price list in
force at the date of your order unless we have agreed another price in writing. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of
services advised to you are correct. However please see clause 10.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the services
you order.
10.2We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we provide the services, we
will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the services in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes
effect.
10.3What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the services we sell may be incorrectly
priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the service's correct price at your order date is less
than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the service's correct price at your order date is higher
than the price stated, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
10.4When you must pay and how you must pay. [You must make an advance payment of [25]% of the price of the Services, before we start providing

days prior to delivery), Credit Card (subject to 3% Surcharge), and Debit Card.

you on the overdue amount at the rate of [ ]% a year above the base lending rate of Bank of England from time to time. This interest shall
accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You
must pay us interest together with any overdue amount.
10.6What to do if you think an invoice is wrong. If you think an invoice is wrong please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have
to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums
from the original due date.
11.Our responsibility for loss or damage suffered by you
11.1We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss
or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we
are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. 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.
11.2We 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 services.
11.3When we are liable for damage to your property. If we are providing services in your property, we will make good any damage to your property
caused by us while doing so. However, we are not responsible for the cost of repairing any pre-existing faults or damage to your property
that we discover while providing the services.
11.4We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the services for domestic and private use. If you use the services for any commercial,

other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms.

If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
13.5Even 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 or 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 services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.
13.6Which 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 services in the English courts. If you live in Scotland you can bring legal proceedings in respect
of the services in either the Scottish or the English courts. If you live in Northern Ireland, you can bring legal proceedings in respect
of the services in either the Northern Irish or the English courts.
13.7Alternative dispute resolution. Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute
and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how we have handled any complaint, you may want to
contact the alternative dispute resolution provider we use. You can submit a complaint to [name of ADR entity] via their website at [website
address]. [[name of ADR entity] will not charge you for making a complaint and if you are not satisfied with the outcome you can still
