Termination Rights under this Contract

If, within fourteen days of us informing you in writing of a serious breach of your obligations to us, and you have failed to rectify this breach, we will have the right to terminate this contract by notice in writing to you. This includes if you fail to pay any amount due under this contract on the due date for payment and you remain in default not less than fourteen days after being notified in writing to make such payment. We may also terminate this contract by notice in writing to you if you have not taken delivery of goods or ordered the services within 12 months of the date of confirmation of your order, unless such delay is wholly and exclusively due to our default. If we terminate the contract for this reason, we will refund or repay any amounts you have previously paid to us, less a reasonable amount to cover our costs and expenses. You will have the right to terminate this contract by notice in writing to us if we have not rectified a serious breach you have notified us of within fourteen days of your notice. Termination or expiry of the contract shall not affect any accrued rights and liabilities of either party at any time up to the date of termination Timetable for Works

If we have proposed a timetable for carrying out the installation, you are confirming that you agree with this timetable of works when accepting the quotation.

There can be occasions when this timetable may need to be varied, due to, for example, poor weather or unavailability of goods and services. We will inform you of any delay we become aware of at the earliest possible opportunity. We would then arrange a new mutually agreeable timetable.

In the case of severe delays to the delivery of goods, you may be offered different products of equivalent specification, value and quality. You can either accept that offer or wait for the products you ordered. Should any delay be caused by you, we will attempt to accommodate that delay without cost to you. However, if extra costs are incurred by us due to the delay, for example scaffolding, we will require that you cover these costs. The Installation

The goods we supply will be of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose. Post installation, you will be responsible for the use of products installed under this Contract of Sale. You will be required to supply to us normal services free of charge; this would include toilet, washing, water facilities and electricity. You should also ensure we have safe and easy access to the installation area and if required, access to your wi-fi. Any work to prepare for the installation, carried out by you or a third party that you employ should be carried out in line with the agreed start date for the installation. If this work has not been completed in time and a consequent delay is caused, you may be liable for any costs incurred by us for such a delay. You will be given warranties for both the installation itself and for the installed goods, where applicable – see below under “Warranty”. Installation for external works to roofs, calculations for weight loadings will be provided by us, where applicable. However, it is your responsibility to complete a structural survey ensuring weight loading and the structural integrity of the roof will meet loading requirements for the installation. Where we are supplying equipment only, you are responsible for the installation and use of the products supplied under this Contract of Sale, including but not limited to the suitability of the product for its final installed location, accuracy of dimensions, adequacy and quality control of installation arrangements and post-installation checks. Assumptions of Installation

• We will require access to site and work/fire permits, pre-arranged by others, allowing speedy access to site and continuity of work. • All work to be carried by us will be in normal working hours Mon – Fri 8am – 5pm. • We will require free use of an electrical supply for power tools during the contract period. 240/110 Volt transformers will be used as dictated by site conditions. • We can only drill holes for pipe runs through common brick walls and partitioning and not reinforced concrete or pre-stressed castings. • Please ensure that suitable grounds are provided for the fixing of equipment and site is clear prior to installation. • Please ensure that any required building, planning and landlord’s permission will have been obtained. Any costs, direct or indirect, incurred by us resulting from you not receiving such permission will be charged in addition to the quotation. • In accordance with health and safety regulations all site risks must be made known to us prior to the first attendance of our engineers on site. It is your legal duty to inform us of any known asbestos within the working areas and it is a health and safety requirement that a prior check of a building site for such materials has been carried out. In the event of suspected asbestos material being found on site, we will in accordance with the “Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations”, cease working immediately, identify the hazard and act accordingly. We have not included any costs arising from such events which may also delay the agreed installation program. • Please ensure hygiene and welfare facilities together with adequate heat and light will be available on site. • Please do not operate any equipment under building site conditions; any servicing or repairs to affected equipment that has been run under these conditions can be charged in addition to the quotation. • All efforts will be made by us to avoid any damage to furnishings or equipment on site. However, Quantum will only accept any responsibility, either direct or indirect, for any damages to furnishings or equipment after a full investigation has been carried out. • Please ensure that expensive electrical equipment is not placed directly underneath air conditioning systems as it is possible that water drips may occur under fault conditions. • After commissioning and handover, please ensure that reasonable and safe access to equipment will be provided for any service and maintenance work. • We may subcontract part or all of the installation but please be assured that we are still responsible for ensuring that all subcontracted works are carried out to the relevant standards. • We cannot be held liable for any defects that may arise with existing pipework or components that we have not installed or worked on during the installation. Planning Permission

If the property is a listed building or you are in a conservation area, you may need planning permission. You are responsible for contacting your local planning authority to obtain this or confirmation that planning permission is not required. By accepting the quotation, you are confirming that you have received planning permission or a building warrant for the proposed installation or ascertained that these are not required. We cannot be held responsible for any installations where planning permission or a building warrant was required but not obtained, and no refunds will be offered. Changes to the Planned Work

If you decide to make changes to any planned work after installation has commenced, you should contact us without delay. Wherever possible we will incorporate your changes and if we are not able to do so we will inform you as to why it is not possible. You need to be aware that any changes to the original design may mean an adjustment to the cost of the installation. Any adjustment in the cost, either in addition or subtraction will be dealt with as a Variation of Contract and we will adjust the price by written agreement with you. There can be occasions when we come across unexpected work. Should this arise, we will discuss this with you. If it is an area of work in which we are competent to operate, we may be able to issue you with a quotation to complete that work which will be an additional charge. If the work is outside our area of competence, we will try to assist you in finding a suitably qualified contractor to carry out the work and you will be responsible for meeting this additional cost. If this unexpected work causes a delay in the installation process, we may need to make reasonable charges for this delay. Payments

No payments shall be deemed received until Quantum has received cleared funds in Sterling in its nominated bank account. Our quotation will specify if the price includes or excludes VAT. Our invoice will charge VAT calculated using the appropriate rate. Deposits and Advance Payments

Any deposits and advance payments that you make to us will only be used to carry out work under this contract. Our prices are based on payment terms as indicated in the quotation and no allowance has been made for retentions. If we have requested a deposit before an onsite technical assessment of your property has been made and we are unable to proceed because of something discovered during that onsite technical inspection, then any deposits or advance payments will be returned less any costs incurred. The quotation will set out in detail when invoices will be sent for each payment. Any invoice queries must be reported to Customer Services email: customerservice@thequantumgroup.uk.com or tel: 01708 528 240) within 7 days of receipt of the invoice. Late Payment

You should make the payments agreed on the quotation as they become due. If you fail to make any agreed payment, we may cease work. If you fail to pay the amount specified in an invoice sent to you by the agreed due date, then we reserve the right to charge you interest until you pay the amount due together with any debt recovery expenses. The interest rate we will charge will be 3% above the Bank of England base rate. It is not permissible under this contract to withhold any more than a proportionate amount of the outstanding balance for any alleged defect or any uncompleted work which is outside of our control. If you do withhold any amount after a payment has become due, you should give us notice of your intention before the date on which payment is due. You should also, with that notice, state the reasons for withholding payment. If we intend to cease work, we will give you notice of this in writing. If you are in breach of this contract because you have not made a payment that was due to us and we have ceased work as a result of this, you may have to compensate us for any additional costs we have incurred. Dependent on the circumstances, we may require that the goods are returned to us. If necessary, we will take legal proceedings to recover the goods and/or any outstanding amounts due to us. Delivery of Equipment

Our quotation is inclusive of all delivery charges within the UK Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm unless otherwise stated. Deliveries outside of the UK, or these times, may be subject to additional charges. Information on the time and/or window for delivery of the goods is indicated in our confirmation email to you. Unless you and we agree otherwise, if we cannot deliver your goods within 30 days of the date of our confirmation email, we will let you know. You must ensure that the location is suitably prepared for delivery and to take receipt of the goods. We reserve the right to refuse to deliver it, if in our reasonable opinion it is not safe or possible to do so. If we attempt delivery on the scheduled date but are unable to deliver the equipment for any reason which is not our fault, including but not limited to: a) access restrictions which have not been notified to us; or b) neither you or your nominated representative is present; or c) the location is not suitably prepared for delivery; or d) we believe, acting responsibly, that delivery would result in irreparable damage to property, damage to the products, or injury to our staff or other persons; or e) you refuse to accept delivery for any reason other than the failure of the product to comply with the quotation then we will return the products to our premises and we reserve the right to charge you a reasonable fee to cover the additional delivery and storage costs that we incur. In this event we shall agree a revised delivery date with you. Delivery will be completed when the equipment has been delivered and unloaded at the location or when you collect the equipment from us. Risk of damage to or loss of the goods shall pass to you on delivery. If at the time of the delivery to you, the external packaging of the goods is damaged, and you suspect that the goods are also likely to be damaged, you should not accept the delivery and request that the carrier return it to us. If you accept a delivery where the packaging is damaged you must inform the carrier and us in writing of the damaged packaging as you sign for delivery and take a photo of the damage prior to unwrapping the goods. We do not include for any liquidated damages against any delivery dates indicated on the basis that equipment delivery dates are outside of our control.

Any authorised returned items must be in the original packaging and in the ‘as sold’ condition and will be subject to a 25% restocking charge based on our list price. Should you terminate the contract for any reason, then we will make arrangements with you to collect the goods whereby you will grant Quantum an irrevocable license to enter the premises where the goods are stored to recover them. If this happens then we will reimburse you if any of your money was used to purchase a proportion of the goods. If you do not make adequate and reasonable arrangements with us to allow the goods to be collected, we retain the right to take legal proceedings to recover the goods or their value. The amount of any reimbursement may be reduced by any reasonable costs we may have incurred. Commissioning the System

If we are carrying out the installation, we will commission the system according to installation standards to ensure that the system is safe, has been installed in accordance with manufacturer’s requirements, and is operating in accordance with the system design. Following the testing and commissioning of the system, we will provide you with a Handover Pack containing information about the equipment and explain the operation and maintenance requirements of the system. At this time, we will also demonstrate the safe operation of the system. After Sales Support and Planned Preventative Maintenance
