4. OUR CONTRACT WITH YOU
4.1 When you purchase a Service or the Services through our Website (or via an organisation from whom you purchased Equipment and who resell the Service(s) to you on our behalf), we will generate an electronic certificate which will be sent to you. This constitutes our acceptance of your offer to purchase Service(s), and a contract for the supply of the Service(s) will come into existence between you and us on the date that you receive the electronic certificate.
4.2 If we are unable to provide Services to you, we will inform you of this in Writing and will not charge you for the Services. This might be because we do not provide the Services in relation to particular equipment, because of unexpected limits on our resources which we could not reasonably plan for, because a credit reference we have obtained for you does not meet our minimum requirements or because we have identified an error in the price or description of the Services.
4.3 We only sell to the UK. Our website is solely for the promotion of our Services in the UK. Unfortunately, we cannot provide Services to customers located outside the UK.

If we determine that an on-site service visit is appropriate to repair the Equipment, the on-site visit will be scheduled during Normal Working Hours.
5.5 We will not be liable for any delay in performing the Services where the delay is caused by an event beyond our control or where it is due to a delay in the supply to us of spare parts or components by our manufacturers, suppliers or agents or if any recommended spare parts are not available.
The Manufacturer's Warranty Service
5.6 Where Equipment which is the subject of a Breakdown is covered by the Manufacturer's Warranty, we will, when notified by you by telephone or email or through the Website (as set out at paragraph 2.2) of the Breakdown:
- make a claim to the Manufacturer under the Manufacturer's Warranty and liaise with them in relation to the claim; and

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.

18. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
18.1 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organisation. We will contact you to let you know if we plan to do this. If you are unhappy with the transfer you may contact us to end the contract within three months (3 months) of us telling you about it and we will refund you on a pro-rata basis for any payments you have made in advance for Services not provided.
18.2 You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else. 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. This contract is between you and us. No other person will have any rights to enforce any of its terms.
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 Services, 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.
