- Acceptance
The contract shall consist only of our offer and your acceptance of the Order Form and these terms, nothing else shall form part of the contract and be binding on either you or us. It is our responsibility to supply you with goods that meet your consumer rights. Nothing in this contract affects your statutory rights.
- Delivery
We will try to deliver and install the stairlift as arranged with you. The delivery dates are given as accurately as possible, but we cannot guarantee them. You are not entitled to claim damages if we cannot deliver on the dates we have arranged.
2.1 Buying back the goods
We will not buy back the stairlift from you.
- Power supply/alterations
You must provide a suitable 13-amp socket or fused spur which can only be used for the stairlift. If this is not available, you must make arrangements to have one fitted before we install the stairlift. If we agree to do any extra work as detailed in the Additional Information box on the front of this Order Form, we will employ someone who is qualified to undertake such work, who may be a sub-contractor. Please note that as a result of any agreed work, it may be necessary for you to carry out some redecoration work and/or carpet replacement.
- Who owns the stairlift?
You will only own the stairlift when you have paid us all the amounts you owe under the order. Until that time, we may take back the stairlift at any time.
- Warranty
We supply the stairlift with a 12- month manufacturer’s warranty which applies from the date we install the stairlift and which covers the cost of parts and labour for faulty manufacture or installation. It does not cover problems caused by the stairlift being used incorrectly or being damaged by you or other people. This warranty also includes one service during the year and our commitment that in the event of a breakdown we will always try to attend your premises within 24 hours, 365 days a year. We will decide whether to repair or replace the stairlift. We will contact you to ask you if you want to enter into a Service Contract before the end of the 12 month warranty.
- Personal details
We will comply with the Data Protection Act 1998. Please see the section on the Order Form.
- Safety
If we are not able to install your stairlift for safety or other practical reasons, we will be entitled to cancel your order, even if we have already accepted it. If we do this, we will return any deposit you have already paid us as soon as possible.
- Opportunity to Put Things Right:
If you suffer any loss or damage we are responsible for then you must allow us a reasonable opportunity to remedy the problem
(for example, by allowing us access to your home to repair any damage for which we are responsible) We will not be responsible for any loss or damage which you fail to afford us a reasonable opportunity to put right and/or which could have been avoided or minimised by you taking reasonable steps which you failed to take.
