5.1 We will supply the Services under this Contract with reasonable skill and care and in line with good working practice. The work carried out will be in accordance with the specifications set out in the Order Confirmation Form and Shutter Design Sketch relating to your Order and which we have provided to you for those Services.
5.2 If the Services supplied by us are not in accordance with condition 5.1, above, you should notify us in writing within a reasonable time from their supply or of becoming aware of the defects which are not apparent to you on a reasonable inspection of the Services. We will arrange with you a time when we can visit your home to examine the supplied Services and, if the Services are not in compliance with condition 5.1, we will either remedy the defect in question or re-supply the defective Services as and if deemed necessary by the Company.
5.3 Whilst every attempt will be made by us to ensure that the Goods supplied match in every respect any samples shown or description given to you, any minor or immaterial variation between sample or description and the Goods delivered shall not entitle you to reject the Goods, nor to withhold or reduce payment of the purchase price, nor claim any compensation for such variation or change.
5.4 Whilst all products supplied by us are tested in accordance with BS EN ISO 105 B02, fading will inevitably occur. However, performance of the product is unimpaired and the warranties provided in this condition 5 shall not apply in relation to fading/discolouration caused by fair wear and tear; and/or where the relevant fault or defect has been caused by your misuse and/or neglect of the Goods; and/or by accidents caused while the Goods are in your possession. Shutters are coated with polymers to protect the timber and resistant to UV rays. However, nothing is completely fade proof.
5.5 Subject to condition 5.4 and to the receipt of payment in full for your order we offer a 36 month warranty on all Goods and Services supplied. The warranty time period starts from the day the goods are fitted. Upon notification of a claim under warranty we will arrange with you to examine the Goods and, if the Goods are defective, we shall either repair or replace the defective Goods free of any charge for labour or materials (always providing that the Goods have not been subject to any misuse or modification). It is possible that Goods replaced under either the warranty or extended Care Plan due to fault may no longer exactly match other Goods in that order due to fading or the manufacturer’s attempt to match colours. Should this be the case the Company does not accept any liability whatsoever to replace non-faulty product solely to ensure colour match.
5.6 In addition to the warranty set out in clause 5.5, we offer a Care Package for all Shutters, which is an extended care plan that covers the period from the first to the fifth anniversary of the installation date where we will, subject to a £75 call out charge, repair or replace the defective Goods free of charge (always providing that the Goods have not been subject to any misuse or modification).
5.7 In order for us to complete any repairs required under either the warranty or Care Package, we will require access to your property at a mutually convenient time. Failure to provide such access will be deemed an obstruction of the contract and our obligations as set out within clause 5 will cease.
