5. DELIVERY

5.1     All of the delivery times given by the Company are approximate and given in good faith. We are a flexible organisation and we like to organise delivery ourselves either using the Company’s own delivery vehicles or by liaising with the Company’s suppliers. On occasion the Buyer may be contacted by our suppliers to organise a suitable delivery time.

5.2     Unfortunately, sometimes things go wrong and honest mistakes are made but the Company shall not be liable for any consequential losses or expenses incurred by any delay in delivery or damage caused in transit.

5.3     The Company shall not be liable for any non-delivery of Goods (even if caused by the Company’s negligence) unless written notice is given to the Company within 7 days of the date when the Goods would in the ordinary course of events have been received.

5.4     Any liability of the Company for non-delivery of the Goods shall be limited to replacing the Goods within a reasonable time or issuing a refund against any invoice raised for such Goods.

5.5     A lot of the Goods available to Order is very big and heavy (think about the impact of steps, gravel drives, narrow doorways etc.). It is the Buyer’s responsibility to ensure that the Goods ordered can be delivered into the room in which the Company have agreed to deliver it (you will need to take into consideration the dimensions of the boxed product). If you are in any doubt, please contact us via email to inform us of any potential issues and we will work with you to find a solution.

5.6     The Buyer may incur additional delivery charges if we or any of our suppliers encounter circumstances of which we have not been informed that prevent us from delivering your appliance. Alternatively, the Company may deliver to the nearest safe place, such as a garage.

5.7     Deliveries are to the mainland UK only. If there is any reason the Company need to levy an additional delivery charge, the Buyer will be informed prior to delivery and may be given the option to cancel the Order (Excludes custom made Goods).

5.8     The Company may also levy a failed delivery charge if no one is in to take the delivery on the agreed date or if the Buyer refuses the delivery on the scheduled date.

5.9     Risk passes from Walter Dix (Heating) Ltd. to the Buyer when the Goods are delivered. If the Buyer arranges their own collection, the risk passes to the Buyer once the Goods are passed to the Buyer/3^rd Party provider collecting the Goods.

6. INSTALLATION SERVICES

6.1     Different Goods will have different fitting instructions and so the Buyer must ensure that they know or that their 3^rd Party Contractors (i.e Kitchen Provider) knows what all of the maximum and minimum fitting space requirements are for the Goods.

6.2     The Buyer must use a suitably qualified person to install the Goods in accordance with the Manufacturer’s installation instructions and industry guidelines. Failure to do so may result in the appliance being unsafe and/or the warranty rendered void.

6.3     Where the Company have agreed to provide connection of the Goods, this will be arranged by the Company to either provide the service or be provided by the Company through their Supplier/Manufacturer using their own approved contractors.

6.4     Where the installers are provided by the Supplier this must be to existing, live and correctly positioned services as per the Manufacturer’s instructions. In the event that a site has not been prepared correctly, installation will be aborted and the Goods delivered only. The Company will not be liable for any refund on any installation charges paid as a result of an incorrectly prepared site by the Buyer or the Buyers 3^rd party contractors.

6.5     Where the installers are a Walter Dix (Heating) Ltd. Engineer, it must be to existing, correctly positioned and live services as per the Manufacturer’s instructions. In the event of a site not being ready, installation and delivery may be aborted and the Company will levy a charge to rebook delivery and installation. Subject to the condition of the site, the Company may offer to rectify the issue and alter the services on site. Any work to rectify incorrectly positioned or missing services is chargeable. Should the Buyer accept delivery only and arrange own installation then any return visits to commission goods due to services that are not live/prepared correctly, will be chargeable.

6.6     The Company cannot be held responsible for 3^rd party contractors’ incorrect positioning of services. The Company may offer to move incorrectly positioned services but this is chargeable to the Buyer. Alternatively making a return visit for re-delivery or commissioning, at the Buyers request or Company’s decision, is also chargeable and the Company will collect this charge from the Buyer and not the contractor.

6.7     In some instances, the Company or the Company’s supplier will remove the Buyers old appliance. Appliances that are removed are considered ready for appropriate recycling so the Company cannot guarantee that once removed there will be no damage to the old appliance on removal and therefore once it has left site, the Company will not be able to return it.
